Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already   21  with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake    22  to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our   23    of his personality.   24 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually   25   and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good   26  . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as    27  when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an   28     high opinion of their own worth, while making things  29  for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being   30  , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.

D
In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign(星相). In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website (網(wǎng)址). These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address. Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.
Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.
While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout (版面設(shè)計(jì)). At the top of the page is a banner(大標(biāo)題) GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.
Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.
While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Start simply If you are too ambitious (雄心勃勃的) at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.
Less is better Most people don't like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces.
Smaller is better Most people connect to the Internet with a modem (調(diào)制解調(diào)器). Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.
Have the rights Don't put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally (合法地). Learn the Net's Copyright Article for more about this.
Now it's time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.
68. The main purpose of the passage is to tell you _____.
A. what a website is like
B. how to build your own website
C. how to meet people online
D. what a website is made up of
69. According to the writer, your website is a place _____.
A. where you can meet people all around the world
B. where you can buy what you want
C. where you can get free services
D. where you can meet people on the Internet
70. The purpose of the home page of your website is _____.
A. to give a list of all the contents of your website
B. to make it look like a front door
C. to direct people to more of your pages
D. to design the cover of a book or magazine
71. The writer thinks that if you are too ambitious at the beginning, _____.
A. your website may leave no space for adding new things
B. you may never have your wetside working
C. you may have no idea how to build your website
D. you may tire yourself out

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises(出現(xiàn)) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
41. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. repeated without any change          B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent      D. set in the present
42. According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.
A. in a realistic setting                  B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often                     D. told in a different way
43. The advantage claimed(提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
44. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
45. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach
