12、nd broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the “goggle box”. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the

13、day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do anything, providing it doesnt interfere with the programme. The monster demands absolute silence and attention.

16、high standards as well. When millions watch the same programme, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in pre-literate communities (有文字之前的时期 ). We become utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken work

17、. Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchair watching others working.

23、ion of nearly 8 million. In the summer it is hot, hot, hot and in the winter it can be very cold. Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round. Manhattan is the real center of the city. When people say “New York City,” they usually mean Manhattan. Most of the interesting shops

24、, buildings and museums are here. In addition, Manhattan is the scene of New Yorks busy night life. In 1605 the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about $ 26 today. Wall Street in Manhattan is the financial

25、 heart of the USA. It is also the most important banking center in the world. It is a street of “skyscrapers”.

26、rs of the New York World Trade Center. When the sun sets, their 110 floors shine like pure gold. Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jams can be terrible.

27、 every corner of Manhattan. But it is not safe to take the subway late in night because in some places you could get robbed. New York buses are also easy to use. You see more if you go by bus. There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carr

28、y large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city. However, they will go to the airports. In addition to the taxi fare, people give the taxi driver a tip of 15 percent of the fares value. Central Park is a beautiful green oasis in the middle of New Yorks concrete desert. It is surprisingly big, w

29、ith lakes and woods, as well as organized recreation areas. New Yorkers love Central Park, and they use it all the time. In the winter, they go ice-skating, and in the summer roller-skating.

30、ith wild birds and animals. Along the east side of Central Park runs Fifth Avenue, once called “Millionaires Row.” In the 19th century, the richest men in America built their magnificent homes here.

36、urement of Businessman In the relationship of education to business we observe today a fine state of paradox. On the one hand, the emphasis which most business places upon a college degree is so great that one can almost visualize the time when even the office boy will have his baccalaureate. On the

37、 other hand, we seem to preserve the belief that some deep intellectual chasm separates the businessman from other products of the university system. The notion that business people are quite the Philistines sounds absurd. For some reason, we tend to characterize vocations by stereotypes, none too f

38、lattering but nonetheless deeply imbedded in the national conscience. In the cast of characters the businessman comes on stage as a crass and uncouth person. It is not a pleasant conception and no more truthful or less unpleasant than our other stereotypes. Business is made up of people with all kin

39、ds of backgrounds, all kinds of motivations, and all kinds of tastes, just as in any other form of human endeavour. Businessmen are not ambulatory balance sheets and profit statements, but perfectly normal human beings, subject to whatever strengths, frailties, and limitations characterize man on th

40、e earth. They are people grouped together in organizations designed to complement the weakness of one with strength of another, tempering the exuberance of the young with the caution of the more mature, the poetic soarings of one mind with the counting house realism of another. Any disfigurement whi

41、ch society may suffer will come from man himself, not from the particular vocation to which he devotes his time. Any group of people necessarily represents an approach to a common denominator, and it is probably true that even individually they tend to conform somewhat to the general pattern. Many h

42、ave pointed out the danger of engulfing our original thinkers in a tide of mediocrity. Conformity is not any more prevalent or any more exacting in the business field than it is in any other. It is a characteristic of all organizations of whatever nature. The fact is the large business unit provides

43、 greater opportunities for individuality and require less in the way of conformity than other institutions of comparable sizethe government service, or the academic world, or certainly the military. 31 The paradox in the relationship of education to business is_. （ A） businessmen are both unmindful

44、of history and sophisticated in it （ B） businessmen show both contempt and respect for noble activities （ C） there are both highly intellectual and uneducated businessmen （ D） there are both noticeable similarities and differences between businessmen and intellectuals 32 According to the passage, a

45、typical businessman is usually considered to be_. （ A） obstinate and hostile （ B） sociable and sympathetic （ C） ill-mannered and simple-minded （ D） shameless and ungraceful 33 There isnt a stereotyped businessman because_. （ A） they represent a cross section of society （ B） they are not ordinary peo

46、ple （ C） they are people with strong personal characters （ D） there is considerable mobility in the vocation 34 According to the passage, the distortion of the image of the businessmen is the result of_. （ A） prevalent egoism among businessmen （ B） the fierce social competition （ C） racial discrimin

47、ation （ D） sheer misunderstanding of other people 35 According to the passage, which of the following is true?_. （ A） People in all vocations are unwilling to conform to a general pattern. （ B） Conformity is a special characteristic of business. （ C） Businessmen are all original thinkers. （ D） Busin

48、essmen are provided with greater opportunities than people in other profession. 35 Why They Travel? Scholars and students have always been great travellers. The official case for “academic mobility” is now often stated in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress i

49、n the world, and debated in the corridors of Europe, but it is certainly nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold. Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference across frontiers, their simultaneous
