A famous foreign company that invested in China wanted to employ a reception secretary for its public relation department.
A beautiful girl with a master degree in electric engineering became a winning candidate(候選人) through the difficult process of employment. At its last stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education standard. The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed that she would get the chance. The examiner told her on behalf of(代表) the company that she could come to office of the company next Monday as a new employee. At last he asked her, “Have you anything else to say?”  Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, saying with hesitation(猶豫不決), “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.” Surprised, the examiner said calmly,“In that case, let’s wait till you are ready.”
The next day the girl came to tell that her parents agreed to her beginning work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully, “Sorry, the job position is filled by another suitable candidate. You had better have a try in another place.” The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation and was told, “What is needed here is a person who knows her own mind.”
That was how a good opportunity slipped away right under the nose of a beautiful girl.

C.the company lost its best employee
D.the examiner was surprised at his first choice
58.Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?

B.She couldn’t answer the question.
C.She hadn’t expected the examiner would ask such a question.

The break-up of a relationship can mean sleepless nights, problems concentrating, loss of appetite, even depression. Every person reacts ­­   99    the crisis differently. “One can’t expect to function normally in the first period of
100    separation,” says German psychotherapist Doris Wolf, author of a book on how to deal with a break-up. “Even if you are someone    101    has kept your feelings under control you can experience emotions as never before,” says Wolf,    102    (point) out that men and women ­­   103    (general) react differently. Men tend to suppress­­(忍;控制)   104    pain by working, or with a new relationship, or alcohol. Women, on the other hand, sometimes suffer from depression, fear of the future, or guilty feelings. In contrast to men, women,  ­­ 105   , often have a good friend who ­­   106    (listen), give comfort or advice. That, says Wolf, is important, because anger, ­­   107    (s­­ad) and frustration need to be expressed. One will feel much ­­   108   (relieve) after doing so.

 Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
  I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
  If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
  Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
  Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
  60. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
     A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
     B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
     C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
     D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
  61. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
     A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
     B. Because he always forget the way to home.
     C. Because he did not have any friend.
     D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
  62. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
     A. He felt strange.                              B. He felt embarrassed.
     C. He felt very sad.                                   D. He felt astonished.
  63. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
     A. Someone we don’t know.                 B. The writer did it for himself.
     C. The secretary did so.                        D. A warm-hearted old lady did it.

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun -see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways.
64. The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. explain how to use the Internet
B. describe the writer’s joy of keeping up with the latest technology
C. tell the merits(價(jià)值) and usefulness of the Internet
D. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet
65. According to the writer, E-mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former(前者) helps one _________.
A. reach a group of people at a time conveniently
B. keep one’s communication as personal as possible
C. pass on much more information than the later
D. get in touch with one’s friends faster than the later
66. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Computer: New Technological Advances
B. Internet: New Tool to Maintain Good Friendship
C. Computers Have Made Life Easier
D. Internet: a Convenient Tool for Communication
