Eric Cantona launched a mock(模拟的) bid for the French presidency on Tuesday in a gathering designed to raise money for millions of poor and homeless people.The former M
23、anchester United striker appeared on the front cover of the left-leaning Liberation newspaper, next to the headline “Cantona enters the campaign” and an appeal for the 500 signatures he would need to run for the top job. The paper made it clear Cantona would not actually stand but wanted to use the
24、publicity to campaign for better housing for as many as 10 million people he thought to be priced out of the property market. “Housing is not just a real problem. Its a problem that is really treated with contempt(藐视),” Cantona, 45, told the newspaper. Ministers from President Nicolas Sarkozys gover
25、nment were quick to pick up on an issue that had not featured greatly in the debate so far, with just over 100 days to the opening vote, on April 22, in a two-round presidential election. “Eric Cantona is highlighting a real issue,” said Nathalie Kosciuski-Morizet, Environment Minister. “Hes right w
26、hen he says sub-standard housing is an issue despite all the governments efforts,” she told Europe 1 radio.Cantonas appeal may have more resonance(共鸣) than his previous foray(突袭) into French activism.In December 2010, he called on French savers to stage a nationwide bank by withdrawing their money f
27、rom financial institutions because of their roles in causing the global financial crisis.The price of existing housing more than doubled between 2000 and 2010 but the incomes rose by just one third in the same period, according to the national statistics office.41.

BA study by talent management expert DDI reveals that one in three employees dont consider their boss to be doing an effective job, while nearly hal
32、f of workers think they could do their bosss job better than them. Conducted as a way to determine what todays leaders are doing right and what they are doing wrong, the research also finds that fewer than 40 percent of employees are motivated by their supervisor to give their best effort. Much of t
33、he dissatisfaction comes from supervisors unwillingness to listen to their employees. Thirty-five percent of the surveyed workers say their boss never, or only sometimes, listens to their work-related concerns. Additionally, only 54 percent of supervisors involve employees in making decisions that a
34、ffect their work. The study also shows too many leaders arent delivering on the basic requirements-courtesy(好意), respect, honesty and tact in their interactions-of a healthy manager/employee relationship. Sixty percent of those surveyed report their boss has damaged their self-esteem, while nearly o
35、ne-third of employees say their supervisor doesnt remain calm when discussing problems.The lack of faith in their boss is forcing many to consider other employment. Nearly 40 percent of those surveyed say they leave a job primarily because of their leader, while more than half say their negative per
36、ception of a boss has them contemplating finding a new employer. There are areas, however, where supervisors score high marks. The research shows 74 percent of workers understand their bosss expectations of them, while 66 percent say their manager provides the support they need. The research is base
37、d on surveys of more than 1200 full-time employees from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India and southeast Asia.46. Whats the best title for the passage?A. The Boss Doesnt Do an Effective JobB. Hate Your Boss? Youre not AloneC. Whats your Attitude Towards Your
38、Boss?D. Is Your Boss Satisfied with You?47. The aim of the study is to determine_.A. what are the right things and wrong things the leaders are doingB. whether the employees are giving their best effectC. how the boss should motivate the employeesD. why some of the employees hate the bosses48. What
39、makes the employees unsatisfied is that _.A. they are not paid regularlyB. the bosses dont pay them wellC. the working conditions are badD. the bosses are unwilling to listen to them49. Some of the employees changed their job because _.A. they lacked faith in their boss B. they wanted to get paid mo
40、reC. their boss damaged their self-esteemD. their boss didnt remain calm50. The underlined word “contemplating” means _in this passage.A. suggesting B. imaginingC. considering D. managing CNormal human eyes contain three kinds of color-detecting cells called cones(视锥), and by comparing the way these
41、 cones are each stimulated by incoming light, our brains distinguish red wavelengths from green and blue wavelengths from yellow. Dogs eyes, like those of most other mammals, contain just two kinds of cones. These enable their brains to distinguish blue from yellow, but not red from green.According
42、to Jay Neitz, a color vision scientist at the University of Washington who conducted many of the modern experiments on color perception in dogs, our pets eyes are structured in a similar way to those of red-green color-blind people, whose eyes also lack the third kind of cone normally present in hum
43、ans. We can get an idea of what dogs see, Neitz said, if we assume their brains interpret signals from their cone cells much like the brains of color-blind people.To see blue and yellow, dogs and humans alike rely on neurons inside the eyes retina(视网膜). These neurons are excited in response to yello
44、w light detected in the cone cells (which are also inside the retina), but the neurons activity gets suppressed when blue light hits the cones. A dogs brain interprets the excitation or suppression of these neurons as the sensation (感觉) of yellow or blue, respectively.However, in dogs and color-blin
45、d individuals, red light and green light both have a neutral effect on the neurons. With no signal to interpret these colors, the dogs brains dont perceive any color. Where you see red or green, they see shades of gray. “A human would be missing the sensations of red and green,” Neitz told Lifes Lit
46、tle Mysteries. “But whether or not the dogs sensations are missing red and green, or if their brains assign colors differently, is unclear.”Furthermore, like color-blind people, dogs may use other cues to distinguish the color we call “red” from the color we call “green.” “A lot of the time there ar
47、e good cues to help them figure it out; for example, red objects tend to be darker than green objects,” Neitz said, “So, if its a dark apple, a red-green color-blind person would know that its probably a red one, and if its a lighter apple, it may be a Granny Smith.”51. According to the passage, mos
48、t mammals can recognize _.A. red from blue B. red from greenC. blue from yellow D. yellow from green52. A few persons cannot tell red from green because _.A. they lack the first kind of coneB. they lack the second kind of coneC. they lack the third kind of coneD. they lack all the three cones53. The
49、 underlined word “suppressed” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. Brought up B. Kept downC. Broken out D. Taken away54. According to Neitz, it is still uncertain whether or not _.A. red and green lights have a neutral effect on dogsB. red and green lights have a neutral effect on the color-blindC. the dogs se
50、nsations are short of red and greenD. dogs brains assign colors in the same way as common people55. “A Granny Smith” at the end of the article refers to a _.A. common woman B. color-blind womanC. red apple D. green apple DThe first memory I have of him-of anything, really-is his strength. It was in
51、the late afternoon in a house under construction near ours. The unfinished wood floor had large, terrifying holes whose big and opening darkness I knew led to nowhere good. His powerful hands, then age 33, wrapped all the way around my tiny arms, then age 4, and easily swung me up to his shoulders t
52、o command all I surveyed. The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. It may grow and flourish in mutual maturity. It may sour in hated dependence or independence. With many children living in single-parent homes today, it may not even exist. But to a little boy right after Worl
53、d War II, a father seemed a god with strange strengths and strange powers enabling him to do and know things that no mortal could do or know. Amazing things, like putting a bicycle chain back on, just like that, or building a hamster cage, or guiding a jigsaw(拼版玩具)so it forms the letter F; I learned
54、 the alphabet that way in those pre-television days. There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake, a good firm squeeze accompanied by an equally strong gaze into the others eyes. The first thing anyone knows about you is your handshake,” he would say. And wed practice it each nigh
55、t on his return from work, the serious toddler(学步儿童)in the old Cleveland Indians cap running up to the giant father to shake hands again and again until it was firm enough. One day, I realize now, there was a change. I wasnt trying to please him so much as I was trying to impress him. I never asked
56、him to come to my football games. He had a high-pressure career, and it meant driving through most of Friday night. But for all the big games, when I looked over at the sideline, there was that familiar fedora(软呢帽). And by God, did the opposing team captain ever get a firm handshake and a gaze he wo
57、uld remember? Then, a school fact contradicted something he said. Impossible that he could be wrong, but there it was in the book. These accumulated over time, along with personal experiences, to strengthen my own developing sense of values. And I could tell we had each taken our own, perfectly norm
58、al paths. I began to see, too, his blind spots, his prejudices and his weaknesses. I never threw these up at him. He hadnt to me, and, anyway, he seemed to need protection. I stopped asking his advice; the experiences he drew from no longer seemed relevant to the decisions I had to make. He voluntee
59、red advice for a while. But then, in more recent years, politics and issues gave way to talk of empty errands and, always, to illness. After much thought and practice “ You can do whatever you have to do.”, one night last winter, I sat down by his bed and remembered for an instant those terrifying d
60、ark holes in another house 35 years before. I told my father how much I loved him. I described all the things people were doing for him. But, I said, he kept eating poorly, hiding in his room and violating the doctors orders. No amount of love could make someone else care about life, I said; it was
61、a two-way street. He wasnt doing his best. The decision was his. He said he knew how hard my words had been to say and how proud he was of me. “I had the best teacher,” I said. “You can do whatever you have to do.” He smiled a little. And we shook hands, firmly, for the last time. Several days later
62、, at about 4 A.M., my mother heard Dad shuffling about their dark room. “ I have some things I have to do,” he said. He paid a bundle of bills. He composed for my mother a long list of legal and financial what-to-dos “ in case of emergency.” And he wrote me a note. Then he walked back to his bed and
63、 laid himself down. He went to sleep, naturally. And he did not wake up.56.
