15、as vice president of sales for the western United States, Australia and New ZealandIII. Reading ComprehensionSection AAmerican presidents seem to age before our eyes. But common belief that high-office stress grays our leaders faster than _50_ may be a myth, new research finds. _51_, the majority of
16、 American presidents have lived longer than typical men of their times. The findings _52_ to a body of research linking high status to better health: _53_,Oscar winners live longer than those who were only nominated; and the longevity (长寿) effect is also seen in Nobel Prize winners. The new study, w
17、hich was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association _54_ the dates of birth, inauguration and death of all 34 past presidents who died of natural causes. The _55_ lifespan for these men should have been 68 years，_56_ theyd aged twice as fast during their years in _57_ as the popula
18、r wisdom suggests they do. _58_, the study found, these presidents lived an average 73 years. And indeed, 23 of the 34 presidents who died of natural causes lived longer than _59_, compared with other men their age during their lifetimes. Some presidents _60_ an exceptionally long time: Gerald Ford

Lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isnt it tempting to lie just a li
24、ttle, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Ameri
25、cans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of ab
26、out one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them “impostors (骗子)” ; another refers to them as “ special cases”. One
27、 well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by “no such people”. To avoid complete lies, some job-seekers claim that they “ attended” or “ were associated with” a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may d
28、iscover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that “being associated with” a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of th
29、e centurythats when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you dont want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma. One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The
30、 price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of p

33、om the passage that _.A. US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities.B. University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school.C. people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in the US easily.D. people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different
34、 universities.BChasing DinosaursSchool is out and summer begins. But instead of spending the long hot months at home, Curtis, Eileen and Malcolm are whisked away by their parents to an old dark mansion in the mountains. Through the power of the bookshelf, they unlock the gateway to another world. Ba

A Fathers Love is the last one to be published of the books mentioned.C. the children go to another world through a wardrobe in Chasing Dinosaurs.D. Bruce David Forbes is famous for his Christmas PoemsC“Im feeling a bit under the weather” is a
44、 common complaint in Britain, especially on Monday mornings, and it seems that weather really can be responsible for moods. Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it hard to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reflexes, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people irritable a
45、nd snappy.If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often
46、called “lows”, and anticyclones, also known as “highs”. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east. Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind.The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in area
47、s of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include: Red sky at night, shepherds delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning, Ash leaf before the oak, then we will have a summer soak; Oak leaf before t
48、he ash, the summer comes without a splash, Flies will swarm before a storm. Rain before 7, clear by 11. Two other popular traditional ways of forecasting the weather used pine cones and seaweed. When the air has a high level of humidity there is a higher chance of rain, when the humidity is low, the
49、re is more chance of fine weather. Pine cones and seaweed react to changes in humidity - pines cones open, and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, while high humidity has the opposite effect. A recent study by an Australian psychologist suggests that certain people may have a special gift fo
50、r predicting the weather. However it is possible that these people would use their talent in another way, since the same group had considerable success in forecasting changes in another chaotic system- the stock market.It appears that a study of weather patterns may also enable scientists to predict
51、 the outbreak of disease. An Ebola epidemic in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare weather conditions that had been present before an outbreak 6 years earlier. Efforts to limit the speed of airborne diseases such as foot and mouth, are also strongly dependent on favorable wind condition

Prepare the plants for the move.F. Plan aheadSome plants wont survive outside once temperatures begin to drop,
55、so here are some tips for keeping plants healthy as you move them indoors. 76. _Because the climate varies widely across the country, the time to bring houseplants indoors in the fall also varies. As a general rule, Taylor suggests that a good time to make the move is when temperatures regularly dip
56、 below 60 degrees F. For specific plants or to determine when nighttime lows in the 50s might consistently occur in your area, contact your local agricultural extension service.77. _Decide which plants youre going to bring indoors well ahead of moving day. One thing to consider is the health of the
57、plant. If a plant has been struggling to stay alive outdoors, bringing it indoors to low humidity, dry heat and low light levels will increase the stress on it and you. Give priority to healthy plants and those that have the most sentimental value. If some of your plants have increased in size and a
58、re about to burst out of their pots, its a good idea to buy any re-potting supplies you will need for this well in advance of moving day to avoid a last-minute rush to the nursery. Taylor recommends a high-quality potting soil, appropriate containers with drainage holes and appropriately sized plast
59、ic saucers to place under the pots to avoid staining hardwood floors or carpets when watering.78. _The first thing to do is to thoroughly check the outside of the pot, the plants and the potting medium. Look for signs of hitchhikers, moss or mold on the pots and unwanted guests such as mealy bugs or
60、 spider mites on the foliage or earthworms, snails or ants in the potting mix. Scrub the exterior of dirty pots with a solution of 10 percent household bleach and then hose off the bleach solution. Then check the plants for dead or yellowing leaves, and cut them if shaping is required. Finally, seve
61、ral days before bringing the plant indoors, spray the foliage with an insecticidal soap.79. _Before “moving day,” decide where you are going to place each of the plants you will bring inside. Its always challenging to find the best place for a particular plant, Taylor says. A guide to doing that, he
62、 advises, is to place plants that require full sun near south-facing windows and plants that only need partial sun in an east- or west-facing window. One other option he suggests homeowners consider is to use indoor plant lights, which, he adds, are a popular and affordable solution when youre faced
63、 with less-than-ideal locations for houseplants.80. _Pots will not dry out as fast indoors as they did in the summer heat, and plants will grow more slowly indoors than they did under strong light conditions. Therefore, they dont need as much water in the house as they did on the patio. Make sure th
64、e soil is dry to the touch before watering. Succulents will need water less often than foliage plants.Section DCreative thinking is the process which we use when we come up with a new idea. Brainstorming is the name given to a situation when a group of people meet to generate new ideas around a spec
65、ific area of interest. It is one form of creative thinking and works by combining someone elses ideas with your own to create a new one. You are using the ideas of others as a stimulus for your own. Brainstorming will help you come up with new ideas. And not only will you come up with new ideas but
66、you will do so with surprisingly little effort. Brainstorming makes the generation of new ideas easy and is a tried-and-tested process. Exactly what you apply brainstorming techniques to depends on what you want to achieve. You can apply them to develop new products, services and processes in your j
67、ob, or you can apply them to develop your personal life.What is traditional brainstorming? The normal view of brainstorming is that a group of people sit in a room and shout out ideas as they occur to them. They are told to relax themselves and that no ideas will be judged so that people are free to
68、 shout out any ideas at all without feeling uncomfortable. The purpose of this is to gain as many ideas as possible. Out of the many ideas suggested there will be some of great value.What is advanced brainstorming? The model we propose is an extension of the traditional brainstorming scenario and ma
69、kes the whole process more effective. Advanced brainstorming builds on the current methods of brainstorming to produce more original ideas in a more efficient way. Most of the problems associated with traditional brainstorming disappear as a more effective process if used.(Note: No more EIGHT words)
