It is not exactly a bribe, but is close to it. All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices

13、 just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing“soft-soaping“ or “buttering-up“. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap“ somebody, or to “

14、butter him up“. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is. Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how

15、wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it. We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we are carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to

16、 ourselves. Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers. They overpraised him to the s

17、kies, as a man of limitless might. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flatt

20、essive pride.(3).What does the writer want to prove with Cromwells example?（分数：2.00）A.Everybody can be an apple polisher.B.Cromwell was not a good apple polisher.C.There are people who dont like being apple polished.D.George Fox and his party were not apple polishers.(4).Whom does the writer think t

21、hat flattery can do good to? Explain it.（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answer lies in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and other convenience foods freed the family cook

22、from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother. Today about half of the countrys married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family memb

23、ers pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead, many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meals. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers tha

24、n to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day. Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, have been alone rather than as

25、 part of a family unit and dont want to bother cooking for one. Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it does not require any dressing up, it offers a “fun“ break in the daily routine, and the expense of money seems small. It can be eaten in the car sometimes picked up at a drive-in window with

26、out even getting out or on the run. Even if it is brought home to eat, there will never be any dirty dishes to wash because of the handy disposable wrappings.

The automotive manufacturing and repair industries as well as the construction industry have been referred to as blue collar for decades. Though a blue collar job was once thought to be reserve

31、d for people with no education or skill who were seemingly only qualified to perform manual labor, the defining qualities of a blue collar job no longer fit in some industries. For example, many computer and high tech jobs pay by the hour and some construction industry positions pay an annual salary

32、.

The stereotype and social class of the blue collar worker has changed ov

33、er the years. This is due in part to the increase in technology, which requires training, and the increase in pay among some industries. Blue collar jobs within some industries have seen a decline, especially in the manufacturing industries, as the manual labor within the industry has become outsour

34、ced at an increasing rate. Construction, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning), and automotive repair remain leading industries offering blue collar jobs in America.（分数：8.00）(1).The following items are defining qualities of a typical blue collar job decades ago except -|_|-.（分数：2.00）A.an

Some examples are age limits for off-road vehicles, seat-belt requirements for cars, and wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle. Opponents of these laws

39、feel that their rights are being restricted. If it doesnt hurt anyone else, why should there be a law? But if they become injured, it can raise insurance rates for everyone. Similarly, consider people putting aside money for their retirement. Suppose they work for a fast-growing company, the hot new

40、 stock pick. Many employees invest heavily in the stock. The stock price plummets, their savings will disappear. Laws preventing people from having too much company stock in their retirement accounts could protect them from financial disaster. It isnt easy to find the proper balance between individu

41、al rights and common good. Some people will think that the new law goes too far, while others will complain that it doesnt go far enough.
