17、urant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland cant get the memory out of his mind, nor the womans kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told young Odland, “Its OK. It wasnt
18、your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isnt the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every C
19、EO learns on the way up. Its hard to get a dozen CEOS to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like,
20、“I could buy this place and fire you.”or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-sellin
21、g book called Swansons Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says, “ I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.” 24.

23、ng best-selling book26. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _.A. Fortune 500 companies B. the Management RulesC. Swansons book D. the Waiter Rule27. From the text we can learn that _.A. one should be nicer to important people.B. CEOs often show their power before others.C. o
24、ne should respect others no matter who they are.D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants.CWould a faster reading speed mean that we could learn more? Some people claim that its possible. In July last year, the six-time speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to read Harper Lees Go Set a
25、Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it which equals a reading rate of around 3,700 words per minute. Jones runs training courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are countless speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the p
26、ast few years. But do they actually work?First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan across the words. They dont move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of sh
27、ort, sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The movements are known as saccades (扫视) and the pauses are called fixations.Reading isnt just about seeing the words you need to comprehend them to build up a picture about what the text means. People are able to get
28、 through a block of text faster, but at the cost of accuracy（准确）and understanding. In other words, if you use a speed reading app, then youll probably get the main idea of a piece of text, but youll struggle to recall details about what youve just read.So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no.
29、It really depends on what youre reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isnt a trick (诀窍）that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately theres always going to be a trade-off.28. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Speed reading is bad at times.B. Speed reading is a
30、 waste of time.C. Speed reading can work sometimes.D. Speed reading is always enjoyable.29. What can we know from the passage?A. Reading apps ensure we read much faster.B. Fast reading makes us learn more knowledge.C. Reading is no more than seeing the text words.D. Reading ability is related to the
31、 eye movement system.30. The underlined word “trade-off” is closest in meaning to_.A. Balance.B. Change.C. Business.D. Bargain.31. What might the writer continue to talk about?A. The advantages of faster or slower reading.B. The reasons why to do faster or slower reading.C. The cases where to do fas
32、ter and slower reading.D. The methods for making use of faster or slower reading.DFor many years, I strongly believed that my suffering was because of my size. I imagined that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.Many people with weight problems also mi
33、stakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cared for. We fantasize(幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at l
34、ast, we find ourselves there.But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally bring us happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.It took me a long time to realize that t
35、here was something more for me to learn about beauty. Different cultures have different standards of beauty. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if its happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of
36、our body? Why not look inside? Many of us struggle hard to change our body, but in vain(徒劳的). We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and care for ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.32The passage tries to stress
37、the importance of _.A. body size B. different beauty standardsC. culture difference D. attitudes towards life33What does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The whole world. B. All the problems. C. All the dreams. D. All the truth.34What can be inferred about the author?A. Th
38、e author is a Samoan.B. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.C. The author succeeded in losing weight.D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.35. Which of the following statements is true?A. Ones happiness is determined by a persons weight.B. Not all countries take being th
39、in as the standard of beauty.C. Its entirely wrong to care about whether a person is fat or not.D. Once a person loses weight, he/she wont gain back the weight easily.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Schools consume a large amount of energy, which has a bad effect on the
