Six men, neatly dressed in white shirts and ties filed into the boardroom of a small Jakarta company and

15、sat down at a long table. But instead of consulting files or hearing reports, they closed their eyes and began to meditate, consulting the spirits of ancient Javanese kings. Mysticism touches almost every aspect of life in Indonesia and business is no exception. One of the meditators said his weekly

16、 meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making. But the insight gained from mystic communication with spirits of wise kings has also helped boost the profits of his five companies.Mysticism and profits have come together since the 13th century

17、 introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants. Those devout traders, called “Wali Ullah“ or “those close to God,“ energetically spread both trade and religion by adapting their appeals to the native mysticism of Java. Legends attribute magic power of foreknowledge to the Wall Ullah.

18、 These powers were believed to be gained through meditation and fasting.Businessman Hadisiko said his group fasts and meditates all night every Thursday to become closer to God and to contact the spirits of the great men of the past. “If we want to employ someone at the managerial level, we meditate

19、 together and often the message comes that this man cant hole onto money or he is untrustworthy. Or maybe the spirits will tell us he should be hired.“ Hadisiko hastened to add that his companies also hold modern personnel management systems and those formal qualifications are essential for a candid

20、ate even to he considered. Perspective investments also are considered through mystic meditation. “With the mind relaxed and open, it is easier to be objective in judging the risk of a new venture. Meditation and contact with the wisdom of the old leaders sharpens your own insight and intuition. The

21、n you have to apply that intuition to the information you have and work hard to be successful. “Mystic meditation helped reverse a business slide his companies experienced in the mid-1980. Operating with normal business procedures, he lost more than 3 millions in that year alone. Meditation brought

22、back his peace of mind. Putting the right persons in the right jobs and gaining confidence in his business decisions were the keys to a turning around that has brought expansion and profitability. The mysticism in Handspikes boardroom is part of a growing movement in Indonesia called Kebatinanthe “s

23、earch for the inner self.“One of his managers, Yusuf Soemado, who studied business administration at Harvard University, compared the idea of mystic management to western system of positive thinking. “Willpower and subconscious mind are recognized as important factors in business. Such approaches as

24、 psycho-cybernetics, Carnegies think and growth rates, or the power of positive thinking are western attempts to tap the same higher intelligence that we contact through meditation,“ he said.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the most important factor in Indonesian doing business?（分数：1.00）A.Mysticism.B.Religion.C

28、ur life in a society which consisted only of members of own sex, how would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldnt be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal co

29、nditions on their childrenconditions which they themselves wouldnt put up with for one minute!Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing childrens heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of educations is to equip fut

30、ure citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Now adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.A co-educati

31、onal school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of acad

32、emic ability, athletic achievement and many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life, What a practical advantage it is (to give just a small example) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense

33、co-education makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice-versa? When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. Rivalry between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.But perhaps the greatest contribut

34、ion of co-education is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys dont grow up believing that women are mysterious creaturesairy goddesses, more like book-illustrations to a fairy-talc, than human beings. Girls dont grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes, Years of living together at sc

35、hool dispel illusions of this kind. There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobbly knees, dirty fingernails and unkempt hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional probl

36、ems involved in growing up, These can better be overcome in a co-educational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a co-educational system. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared

37、 to enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the main idea of this passage?（分数：1.00）A.Only co-education can make women equal to men.B.People are in need of both co-education and a

38、ggregated education.C.What makes the society truly harmonious is simply unthinkable.D.Co-education has many features.(2).What does co-education offer to children?（分数：1.00）A.A society.B.A true small model of society.C.A real life,D.True version of social condition.(3).According to the passage, what i

39、s one of the chief aims of education?（分数：1.00）A.It is for students to acquire knowledge.B.It is to equip future citizens with scientific technology.C.It is to equip future citizens with what is required in getting a position in society.D.It is for students to get academic achievements.(4).Why do boy

40、s and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?（分数：1.00）A.They live together and know each other too well.B.Frequent contacts help dismiss such illusion.C.Co-education encourages them to have a healthy attitude toward life.D.They are familiar with each others problems.BTEXT C/BAfter t

41、heir 20-year-old son hanged himself during his winter break from the University of Arizona five years ago, Donna and Phil Satow wondered what signs they had overlooked, and started asking other students for answers.What grew from this soul searching was Ulifeline (www. ulifeline, org), a Web site wh

42、ere students can get answers to questions about depression by logging on through their universities. The site has been adopted as a resource by over 120 colleges, which can customize it with local information, and over 1.3 million students have logged on with their college IDs.“Its a very solid Web

43、site that raises awareness of suicide, de-stigmatizes mental illness and encourages people to seek the help they need,“ said Paul Grayson, the director of counseling services at New York University, which started using the service nearly a year ago.The main component of the Web site is the Self-E-Va

44、luator, a self-screening program developed by Duke University Medical Center that tests students to determine whether they are at risk for depression, suicide and disorders like anorexia and drug dependence. Besides helping students, the service compiles anonymous student data, offering administrato

45、rs an important window onto the mental health of its campus.The site provides university users with links to local mental health services, a catalog of information on prescription drugs and side effects, and access to Go Ask Alice, a vast archive developed by Columbia University with hundreds of res

46、ponses to anonymously posted inquiries from college students worldwide. For students concerned about their friends, there is a section that describes warning signs for suicidal behavior and depression.Yet it is hard to determine how effective the service is. The anonymity of the online service can e

47、ven play out as a negative. “There is no substitute for personal interaction (个人互动才能解决),“ said Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology, based in Washington.Ulifeline would be the first to say that its service is no replacement for an actual therapist. “The pur

48、pose is to find out if there are signs of depression and then direct people to the right places,“ said Ron Gibori, executive director of Ulifeline.Mrs. Satow, who is still involved with Ulifeline, called it “a knowledge base“ that might have prevented the death of her son, Jed. “If Jeds friends had known the signs of depression, they might have seen something,“ she said.（分数：4.00）(1).The first paragraph is written to _.（分数：1.00）A.report the suicide of a young manB.show the suffering of Mr. And Mrs. Sa
