20、 and children to seek a more serious life, would surely have approved. From January 1st, 2008, all public companies in Norway are obliged to ensure that at least 40% of their board directors are women. Most firms have obeyed the law, which was passed in 2003. But about 75 out of the 480 or so compan

21、ies it affects are still too male for the governments liking. They will shortly receive a letter informing them that they have until the end of February to act, or face the legal consequenceswhich could include being dissolved.Before the law was proposed, about 7% of board members in Norway were fem

22、ale, according to the Centre for Corporate Diversity. The number has since jumped to 36%. That is far higher than the average of 9% for big companies across Europe or Americas 15% for the Fortune 500. Norways stock exchange and its main business lobby oppose the law, as do many businessmen. “I am ag

23、ainst quotas for women or men as a matter of principle,“ says Sverre Munck, head of international operations at a media firm. “Board members of public companies should be chosen solely on the basis of merit and experience,“ he says. Several firms have even given up their public status in order to es

24、cape the new law.Companies have had to recruit about 1,000 women in four years. Many complain that it has been difficult to find experienced candidates. Because of this, some of the best women have collected as many as 25-35 directorships each, and are known in Norwegian business circles as the “gol

25、den skirts“ . One reason for the scarcity is that there are fairly few women in management in Norwegian companiesthey occupy around 15% of senior positions. It has been particularly hard for firms in the oil, technology and financial industries to find women with enough experience.Some people worry

26、that their relative lack of experience may keep women quiet on boards, and that in turn could mean that boards might become less able to hold managers to account. Recent history in Norway, however, suggests that the right women can make strong directors. “Women feel more compelled than men to do the

27、ir homework,“ says Ms Reksten Skaugen, who was voted Norways chairman of the year for 2007, “and we can afford to ask the hard questions, because women are not always expected to know the answers.“（分数：10.00）(1).The author mentions Ibsens play in the first paragraph in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.depict wo

28、mens dilemma at workB.explain the newly passed lawC.support Norwegian governmentD.introduce the topic under discussion(2).A public company that fails to obey the new law could be forced to _.（分数：2.00）A.pay a heavy fineB.close down its businessC.change to a private businessD.sign a document promising

30、).The author attributes the phenomenon of “golden skirts” to _.（分数：2.00）A.the small number of qualified females in managementB.the over-recruitment of female managers in public companiesC.the advantage women enjoy when competing for senior positionsD.the discrimination toward women in Norwegian busi

31、ness circles(5).The main idea of the passage might be _.（分数：2.00）A.female power and liberation in NorwayB.the significance of Henric Ibsens playC.womens status in Norwegian firmsD.the constitution of board members in NorwayWhile theres never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can

32、feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric (小儿科的) cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peers, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.In

33、 her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as shes discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.Ms. Carr reacted with the

34、 normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a “full-time healing addict.“ Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her own personal “c

35、ancer posse”: a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of “cancer babes“ offered support, advice and fashion tips, among other things.Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and sh

36、e has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isnt funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her (Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she even makes second opinions sound fun (“cancer road trips,“ she calls them).She leaves the medical advice to

37、doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. “I refused to let cancer ruin my party,“ she writes. “There are just too many cool things to do and plan and live for.“Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips incl

38、ude using time- saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so youre not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynors “I Will Survive“ so loud your neighbors call the police. Ms. Carr also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before y

39、on tell the important people in your life about your illness. “People you tell are going to cautiously and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle,“ she writes.While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to the heart of what every cancer patient wants: t

40、he chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following groups is more vulnerable to cancer?（分数：2.00）A.ChildreB.People in their 20s and 30C.Young adultD.Elderly peopl(2).All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.Kris Carr is a female wr

41、iteB.Kris Carr is more than 31-year-olC.Kris Carr works in a cancer centeD.Kris Carr is very optimisti(3).The phrase “cancer posse“ (Line 4, Para.3) probably refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.a cancer research organizationB.a group of people who suffer from cancerC.people who have recovered from cancerD.people

42、 who cope with cancer(4).Kris Carr makes up names for the people who treat her because _.（分数：2.00）A.she is depressed and likes swearingB.she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctorsC.she wants to leave the medical advice to doctorsD.she tries to leave a good impression on doctors(5).From Kris Car

43、rs cancer tips we may infer that（分数：2.00）A.she learned to use e-mails after she got cancerB.she wears fashionable dress even after suffering from cancerC.hospital gowns for cancer patients are usually not in bright colorsD.the neighbors are very friendly with cancer patientsShould a leader strive to

44、 be loved or feared? This question, famously posed by Machiavelli, lies at the heart of Joseph Nyes new book. Mr. Nye, a former dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and one-time chairman of Americas National Intelligence Council, is best known for promoting the idea of “soft power”, b

45、ased on persuasion and influence, as a counterpoint to “hard power“ , based on coercion (强迫) and force.Having analyzed the use of soft and hard power in politics and diplomacy in his previous books, Mr. Nye has now turned his attention to the relationship between power and leadership, in both the po

46、litical and business spheres. Machiavelli, he notes, concluded that “one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved.“ In short, hard power is preferable to soft power. But modern leadership theorists have come to the

47、 opposite conclusion.The context of leadership is changing, they observe, and the historical emphasis on hard power is becoming outdated. In modern companies and democracies, power is increasingly diffused and traditional hierarchies (等级制) are being undermined, making soft power ever more important.

48、 But that does not mean coercion should now take a back seat to persuasion, Mr. Nye argues. Instead, he advocates a synthesis of these two views. The conclusion of The Powers to Lead, his survey of the theory of leadership, is that a combination of hard and soft power, which he calls “smart power”, is the best approach.The dominant theoretical model of leadership at the moment is, apparently, the “transformational leadership pattern”. Anyone allergic (反感) to management term will already be running for the exit, but Mr. Nye has performed a valuable se
