10．Not onlydid manager approve of her new design，but he also arranged for her to be in charge of the project．（approve）
經(jīng)理不僅同意了她的新設(shè)計(jì)，而且還安排她負(fù)責(zé)管理該項(xiàng)目．

9．Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you've visited．Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits．
In fact，it's likely some of these things have already happened to you．Who would watch you without your permission？It might be a husband or wife，a girlfriend，a marketing company，a boss，a cop or a criminal．Whoever it is，they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century equivalent （相等物） of being caught naked．
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy，that it's important to reveal yourself to friends，family and lovers in stages，at appropriate times．But few boundaries remain．The digital bread pieces you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are，where you are and what you like．In some cases，a simple Google search can reveal what you think．Like it or not，increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret．
The key question is：Does that matter？
For many Americans，the answer apparently is"no．"
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy，most say they are concerned about losing it．A survey found a serious depression about privacy，with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is"slipping away，and that bothers me．"
But people say one thing and do another．Only a tiny part of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy．Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths （收費(fèi)站） to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements．And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards．Privacy economist Alessanfro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon （優(yōu)惠券）．
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes．It's like health：when you have it，you don't notice it．Only when it's gone do you wish you'd done more to protect it．

55．What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends？A
A．There should be a distance even between friends．
B．Friends should always be faithful to each other．
C．Friends should open their hearts to each other．
D．There should be fewer disagreements between friends．
56．Why does the author say"we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret"？A
A．People leave tracks around when using modern technology．
B．Modern society has finally developed into an open society．
C．There are always people who are curious about others'affairs．
D．Many search engines profit by revealing people's identities．
57．What do most Americans do about privacy protection？B
A．They change behaviors that might disclose their identity．
B．They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it．
C．They rely more and more on electronic devices．
D．They use various loyalty cards for business deals．
58．According to the passage，privacy is like health becauseA．
A．people don't treasure it until they lose it
B．its importance is rarely understood
C．it is something that can easily be lost
D．people will make every effort to keep it．

8．I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage．For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father．Totally loving．No ifs，ands or buts
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio．The speaker was quoting a passage from the Bible about husbands being thoughtful of their wives．Then he went on to say，"Love is an act of will．A person can choose to love．"To myself，I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband．Well，for two weeks that would change．
And it did．Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said，"That new yellow sweater looks great on you．""Oh，Tom，you noticed，"she said，surprised and pleased．Maybe a little puzzled．After the long drive，I wanted to sit and read．Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach．I started to refuse，but then I thought，"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me．"We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites．
So it went．Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director； a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums．Relaxed and happy，that's how the whole vacation passed．I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love．
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment，however．Evelyn and I still laugh about it today．On the last night at our cottage，preparing for bed，Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression．
"What's the matter？"I asked her．
"Tom，"she said in a voice filled with distress，"do you know something I don't？"
"What do you mean？"
"Well…that medical checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me？Tom，you've been so good to me…am I dying？"It took a moment for it all to sink in．Then I burst out laughing．
"No，honey，"I said，wrapping her in my arms．"You're not dying；
I'm just starting to live．"

B．he could afford time to care for her
C．she looked lovely in her new clothes
D．she was seriously ill
53．The author says，"There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment．"What was the one thing that went wrong？D
A．He praised her sweater，which puzzled her．
B．He was so good to her that she thought she would be dying．
C．He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her．

C．he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D．he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband．

7．Unemployment arises partly from overpopulation and if fines can't keep the rich from having more than one child，we should say that the regulation is not ________．（　�。�

6．Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments，but can the ability to leave work early to watch your son's soccer game，or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to （50）A some personal matters，have broader physical health benefits （51）Bmaking you feel a bit less tired？
According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews，it seems so．In a review of 10previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16，000people，（52）D from the U．K．'s Durham University and University of Newcastle，as well as the University of Montreal，found that flexible work schedules-when employees can （53）C their starting times，for example-were associated with improvements in a person's overall health．And，perhaps unsurprisingly，in all of the studies included in the review，researchers found no evidence for （54）D effects of more flexible work schedules．
This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options，which are increasingly （55）A throughout Scandinavia，and have recently gained some ground in the U．K．（56）C，last April，the British government （57）A  a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger．In the U．S．，the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on．Yet，the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to（58）B  in workplace flexibility-as companies  （59）D to reward employees with bonuses（獎(jiǎng)金） or raises may （60）A other forms of compensation（補(bǔ)償），Reuters reported early last year．
Previous research too，of course，has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes．And while these latest findings are promising，the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed（61）B between flexible work and improved health outcomes．To truly （62）A the benefits of flexible working conditions，the researchers say，additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide （63）C of workers-from high-ranking executives to hourly employees-is（64）A，which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue，and to shape future workplace policy．

5．The past 20years have produced great advances in technology and communications．（50）C，people throughout the world have become ever more connected．The （51）A link between the nations and people of the world is called globalization．It is a （52）B that has changed ways of life around the world．
Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce．In an effort to build a （53）D economy，most nations of the world have embraced（擁抱） free trade．Free trade removes certain limits imposed （強(qiáng)加） on global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods with one another．A （54）B aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce（55）C．Globalization has indeed increased trade throughout the world，but experts disagree about its effect on the poor．
The debate about recent trends in global commerce is complex．Those （56）D free trade in the global market point out that competition lowers prices．Its critics argue that，without controls，such a system often harms poor nations．To some extent，both are （57）A．For example，in Jamaica，a country which imported milk from the United States and the （58）C milk was cheaper than local milk，more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition．At the same time，the cheaper milk put （59）B dairy farmers out of business．Perhaps this program caused as much harm As（60）D．
Those who support free trade in the global market do so for a number of reasons．Studies show that when a poor nation begins trading on the global level，it gains certain （61）A．Its economy grows rapidly．Multinational companies set up factories，（62）C jobs for people．Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest and poorest nations．They believe that the globalizing trend benefits the poor．
Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions．Although they （63）Dthat the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations，they doubt that it reduces poverty．In fact，they cite （引述） studies which show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market．（64）A，the gap between rich and poor nations is growing．
Regardless of which side they are on，most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor．Both sides need to find a way to make it work．

4．About 45% of the people surveyed say their workplace is the hardest place to sell a good idea．The next largest group，21%，say home is．Here Mattson offers 5 ways of outing an idea across so that the right people will listen．
1．Don't take rejection （拒絕） personally．"One of the major blocks for people trying to sell a concept is that，if the idea is rejected，they take it as a rejection of them personally-and they stop trying，"Mattson says．（36）E．Most major-league players strike out far more than they hit．Even so，they keep trying．
2．（37）B．Many of us （especially the shy） use email to put our best ideas forward，but that's not nearly as effective as doing it in person or，if necessary，on the phone．"You have your voice working for you，and you can be far more responsive（回應(yīng)） to any questions the other person may have，"Mattson says．
3．Listen 70% of the time，and talk 30%．"In the sales world there's a saying：（38）F．"Mattson says．"Top salespeople don't persuade others．Instead，they listen，which forces you to focus on the other person--what their position is，and why they're responding the way they are．"
4．Practice．（39）G．He or she will help you improve．Mattson recommends repeating your idea six times before presenting it to decision-makers．"The first one or two times，you'll still be figuring out how you want to put it，"he says．"By the sixth time，you're usually speaking with certainty and confidence．"
5．Get others to weigh in．"Successful selling isn't‘I'，it's‘we'，"Mattson says．"（40）CSo include their suggestions in your idea．"Not only will that probably make the idea even better，but you'll still get the credit for having gotten the ball rolling．

A．Never buy what you don't need
B．Use your voice，rather than email
C．People want to be part of a solution
D．Talk on the phone in an effective way
E．Take baseball athletes as your role model
F．Everybody hates to be sold but loves to buy
G．Find someone you trust who will hear you out．

3．It is Sunday and lunch has，as usual，come to a hurried end． My wife and I are still sitting at the table． My wife likes to be（36）Cin the life of her child，but I sometimes fear she is in too deep． She has（37）Athe morning on an online student forum，asking questions about UCAS（38）BDick．
"A lot of people haven't had any offers yet，"she says．"I said I already had one．"
"Wait，"Dick says．"Are you（39）Dto be me？"
"No，I have my own login details now，"she says．
"How do you know he isn't his own mother pretending to be him？"Dick says．
Earlier，when we all sat down to lunch，Dick，who had been to parties the（40）Cevening，came back．
"Who were there？"my wife asks Dick．"What was it like？"
"It was OK．"he says．
"Not good enough，"she says．"What was the worst thing（41）Bhappened？"My wife's continued question（42）Ba deepening，boring silence． I start to eat faster． There is a long，highly （43）Dpause in the conversation．
"So，"she says（44）A，"was it a kissing party？"
"Oh my God!"shouts Dick，（45）Chis fork．"What is wrong with you？Why are you like this？"
Surrounded by further scolds，lunch comes to a hurried end． Dick finds himself（46）Dwith clearing up．（47）A，the running of water and the sound of washing plates are the only sounds in the room．
"（48）Bat any time you're prepared to apologize for being rude，"she says，"you can go and finish watching the football．"
"Are you joking？"he shouts．"No way!Why （49）CI apologize to you？"
He pauses to look into the bottom of a pan，and a smile（50）Dacross his face．"What I mean is，I'm really very sorry，"he says，dropping the pan into the sink and running from the room．"Bye!"
"You don't have to worry，"my wife says．"In a（51）B's time，you'll be 18 and I won't be able to do this to you any more．"
"Really？"he says．
"You'll be a（n）（52）D，"she says．
The boy stops to consider the blue print that after a（53）Dset seven days from then on，his parents will be（54）Ato stop ruining his life． He looks both doubtful and a little alarmed．
I approaches my wife，whispering to her．"Dear，I agree with you-understanding and trust may （55）Cbe a good way to communicate with our teen children．"

2．In high school I had a math teacher，Mrs．Davies，who took her job seriously and expected her students to put forth the same degree of commitment． Strict but fair，she held our attention with her time-proven approach． One of her （36）Dwas for students who were more advanced academically． I chose to （37）Bit and soon realized that the course was a bit over my head． I （38）Bwith the complex problems that others seemed to learn without much effort
One Friday we were tested（39）Aour ability to use a theorem（定理） that no one in the class thoroughly understood． The teacher would（40）Dour papers based on our ability to progress through the problem which easily filled two pages of formulaic notations（公式符號(hào)）． I was absolutely（41）C． Finally，I didn't use the required theorem． Instead，I decided to use more familiar theorems to arrive at an（42）C． I knew I had failed because I hadn't done the （43）Dassignment．l became resigned to my fate．
