19、ll it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container. Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a fe
20、w coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually th
21、e two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born. Originally you
22、had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.

27、ingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singapor
28、eans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is
29、important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. Peo

These cottages once housed earl
34、y settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers. The cottages could be an example of the industry s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low
35、 technology is not virtual (虚拟的) so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitters designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation
36、(阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature. Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Googles office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebooks second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop pa
37、rk with a walking trail. Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because theyre surrounded by the digital world,” he sa
38、ys. “Theyre looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and weve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.” This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after t
39、he Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said. Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “fo
40、rest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure. These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with acces
41、s to nature at the officeeven simple views of trees and flowersfelt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.52. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human b

The More Craftsmanship, the Less CreativityD A city childs summer is spent in the street in front of his home, a
44、nd all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missingnot out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. T
45、hey were right, of course. I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had be
46、come theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my l
47、ife as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “Whats in those books youre always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else wi
48、thout much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listene
49、d bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of mans entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a n
50、ew and exciting experience. The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days
51、 there was no reading material between childrens and grownupsbooks or I could find none. I had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in read
52、ing it. The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of
53、 a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings un
54、til school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.55. Watching the boys playing baseball, the wri

58、ter Relationships with Neighbors Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we dont know how much we depend on them until we dont have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here s how to dev
59、elop your relationships with these very important people in your life. 61._ Often neighbors dont even know each others names. But its okay to be the one to break the ice , even if youve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So
60、 as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether theyre babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.62._ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of
61、the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if theyre far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invit
62、e them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.63._ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as youve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you
63、, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking and the talk will be good.64._ If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neig
64、hbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next ho
65、use. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.65._ In a good relationship, its really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor gorgets to t
66、ake in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If youre truly concerned, youll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when its needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.非选择题部分（共40分）第三部分：写作（共
