In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was
13、 to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文)showing how it was used.This was a huge task, so Murray had to find volunteers from Brit
14、ain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his addr
15、ess as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.

16、 visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.

Minor continued contributing to the dict

21、ay went to America regularly to visit MinorBThe Wake-up Call“Whats that?” my ten-year-old daughter, Genie, asked. Shed caught me laughing at a piece of mail Id just opened. “Wake-up service; $2.50 per call.” At the bottom was a phone number and a drawing of a rotary phone, like the one my great-aunt
22、 Sara had owned 40 years ago. “Is that mail funny?” Genie asked.“Not really,” I admitted. “Its just outdated.”“Whats a wake-up call?” She frowned. I explained how, before smart-phones, people sometimes paid someone to wake them with a call. “Who sent this flyer?” she pressed.“Probably someone older,
23、” I said, “and could use some money.”Her eyes lit up. “Can we order a wake-up?” she asked.“We dont need it.” I picked it up and headed for the recycling bin.“Wait!” she shrieked. “I feel sorry for the wake-up man, if he needs some money,” she said, tearing up. “Cant we order?”I looked at the flyer w
24、ith its drawing of a rotary phone. I remembered, again, my great-aunt Sara and her rotary phone.

25、creen.

I Googled the flyers return address. The address belonged to a man called Raymond. He
26、 was in his mid-60s. We called him and, holding the receiver between us, the way Aunt Sara and I used to, told him we needed his services. “Great!” Raymond said in a shaky but friendly voice, clearly amazed at receiving an order from a child. When I asked how to pay the $2.50, he answered, “Mail a c
27、heck.”Genie was happy all week. Friday night, I put the phone by her pillow so she could answer Raymonds call. She bounded to my bedroom to tell me all about how hed wished her a good morning and told her to have a great day, which she did.Technology has made some things outdated. But there are stil

31、health and well-being throughout your life. While youre sleeping, your brain is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information.

32、 top tips for getting the most out of the night, which will leave you ready for action in the morning.According to Phil Atherton, not eating a large meal before bedtime is important for getting a good nights sleep. The time difference between eating and sleeping should be at least three hours. So yo
33、ud better avoid eating any food three hours before bed, as it will lower your blood sugar during sleep and help minimize damage from too much sugar floating around.Its also important to find ways to prepare your body for sleep. You can follow a routine like trying not to expose yourself to too much
34、artificial light within 1 hour before bed, as your brain uses light to help set internal body clock. Although it might seem unnatural to schedule your sleep, the purpose is to send a signal to your body and mind that its time to sleep.Another way to prepare your body for sleep is to get into a relax
35、ed state by taking a bath or listening to soft music. Both of them will help to take the mind off the daytime pressures.Having a suitable bed, especially a suitable mattress (床垫), is necessary for a good nights sleep.

Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDThere are two main types of office layouts us
40、ed by most companies around the world: Landscape Office and Enclosed Office. A landscape office lacks privacy, however, this office layout is more beneficial than an enclosed office for employees to improve work efficiency(效率) and productivity.Some people might desire an undisturbed workplace . Acco
41、rding to the survey collected from a company with the two kinds of office layouts, most of managers prefer a workplace where they can concentrate on their work and make a clear thinking. However, managers that possess their own enclosed offices might have the feeling of being distant from their cler
42、ks, which leads to high pressure. Meanwhile, employees tend to be nervous when they have conversations with their managers in an obviously hierarchical(等级制的) environment. In contrast, a landscape office makes it easier and more pleasant for employees to communicate with their managers or their colle
43、agues; this would result in speeding up work efficiency and productivity.Besides, greater interaction is beneficial for employees to build up friendship in a landscape office. This can be proved by the experiment of Brookes and Kaplan. They recorded the attitudes and opinions of 120 employees toward
44、 their enclosed office before they moved to the landscape office, and then after nine months they were tested again. The researchers discovered that those employees performed positive changes in group sociability. When people have better group sociability, they experience a better team work and effi
45、cient cooperation, which surely promotes work productivity. Some opponents claim that a landscape office would lead to the decline of the value of work satisfaction and motivation from employees. However, the result from other researchers remained controversial; in their opinion there are several fa
46、ctors which affect job satisfaction and motivation. 600 Canadian federal government department workers who were housed at a modern landscape office and were surveyed gave both negative and positive feedback. They admitted that they felt the sense of belonging to a team or a working community,which m
47、ainly contributes to jobsatisfaction. Motivation is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team. Admittedly, there are some advantages that only enclosed offices possess. However, a landscape office can combine the features of the traditional enclosed office, for example, d
48、esigning the independent meeting room to decrease noise from discussion. Although the benefits of a landscape office outweigh those of an enclosed office, which layout is better should be decided by the characteristics of the people and the type of work they do.42. What is mainly talked about in the
49、 passage?A. Colleague cooperation and its motivation.B. Group sociability and its productivity. C. Working environment and its effect.D. Office privacy and its atmosphere.43. What has the significant effect on productivity according to Paragraph 2?A. Job satisfaction.B. Relaxed atmosphere. C. Group
50、sociability. D. Undisturbed workplace. 44. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Enclosed office leads to individual creativity. B. Different working styles in enclosed office is encouraged. C. Landscape office contributes to effective conversations.D. Frequent communication in landscape office
51、results in high pressure. 45. What is the authors attitude towards office layouts?A. Objective.B. Casual. C. Optimistic.D.
