It was 40 to coordinate (协调一致) our stepshis hesitant, mine impatientand because of that, we didnt say much 41 we went along. When we started out, he always said,
19、“You set the pace. I will try to 42 you.” Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was 43 he got to work. In my memory he went to work in spite of 44 or bad weather, and he never missed a day and would 45 it to the office even if others could not. He never talked about himself as an object of
20、 46 , nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate. What he 47 for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 48 by which to judge people, even though I 49 dont know exactly what a “good heart” is.
21、But I know the times I dont have one myself. He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 50 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 51 . Now Im sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for feeling 52 to be with him in public. I think of him when I complain (抱怨

26、eford!” Richard used to boast.“And youll be sorry you knew me,”George would reply “because Ill be the best lawyer in town! ”George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from b
27、ooks, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town
28、, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival. Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries. He d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first editio
29、n. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George s

The company, owned by millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”56George and Richard were _at school.A. roommates B. good friendsC. competitors D. booksellers57How did George feel about Richard

33、re while George had no great success.BIts interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The average businessperson is getting about 80-e-mails per day and many feel that abo
34、ut 80% of the messages in their “In Box” are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Easing E-mail”.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted e-mails, ask to be removed from the variou
35、s lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted “cc” lists.“Unlisted address”. Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to give direct access, you might want to get a separate e-mail address only for the important communications you wish to
36、 receive.Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming email on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of
37、 times per day.Deal with it. As you open each e-mail do one of the following:a. If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b. If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c. If it is going to take any serious amount of time to re
38、spond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive approximately 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic to
39、ol but not being controlled by it to the distraction of more important tasks in my day.60The passage is about _.A. how to check e-mails B. how to collect e-mailsC. how to deal with your daily e-mails D. how to deal with 80% valueless e-mails61For the important communications, the writer suggests tha
40、t you_.A. have a direct access for them B. have several e-mail servers for themC. get an unlisted phone number for them D. get a special e-mail address for them62To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to _.A. respond urgent ones onlyB. reply all of them at the same timeC. h
41、andle them a couple of times dailyD. keep replying e-mails all day long63To deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following EXCEPT_.A. downloading every e-mail before you replyB. responding right away if its urgentC. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much timeD. asking someone else to
42、reply it if its not at your convenienceCIn Britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a “gap year”，a year off between high school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no officia
43、l numbers.Charles Deacon, dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington DC, estimates that in the current firstyear class of 1,600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this number hasnt changed much over the years.Mr. Deacon says the most common reason for taking a
44、 “gap year” is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a “gap year” to meet requirements at home for military duty. Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to exp
45、lore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital. Many colleges and universities support gapyear projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as t
46、hey work at something they enjoy. The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation”. It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that studen
47、ts are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time. Of course, a “gap year” is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college
48、once they take time off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly. Holly Bulls job is to specialize in helping students plan their “gap year”. She notes that several books have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availab
49、ility of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gapyear programs cost far less than a year of college.64What is the passage mainly about?A. More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.B. If you want to go to an
50、American university, take a “gap year” first.C. It is likely that taking a “gap year” is becoming popular in America.D. Americans hold different opinions towards students taking a “gap year”65How many reasons for students taking a “gap year” are mentioned in the passage?A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.66The
51、essay “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation” suggests that _.A. every student must take a “gap year” before applying for a famous universityB. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiencesC. taking a “gap year” can make students free from life learningD. the stres

61、k you think. The mental process is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers.

Then there are games of “imperfect information”, like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that
63、one course of action is better than another. One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reserves. Business, politics, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with
64、many unknown and unknownable factors which would even puzzle best poker players.
