Should Phelps match Mark Spitz?s record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a ＄1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985.

By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he?s shown the ability to dominate in any event.

Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.
Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn?t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on more than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.

Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.
Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.
But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.
Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”
Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.
21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.
A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate
B. How to Find a Job by Tricks
C. Disadvantages of Job Interviews
D. Advantages of Job Interviews
22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.
A. complete truths
B. complete lies
C. partial truths
D. mainly truths
23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?
A. By leaving out some necessary information
B. By providing more information than needed.
C. By using their body language.
D. By telling some unbelievable lies.
24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____.
A. examine the resumes carefully
B. inspect the candidates aggressively
C. correct the resumes intentionally
D. compare one?s resume with others?
25. What is the author?s attitude towards job interviews?
A. Most objective
B. Too subjective.
C. Suspicious
D. Credulous.
Passage Three
Our world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral
ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another?s nest to trick the host into raising the invader?s eggs. But nest owner s use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.
Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyo n says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.
Even if a mother coot didn?t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and th e suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologist concluded.
26. The meaning of the bird?s name “coot”probably is __________.
A. wonderful and amazing
B. unusual and remarkable
C. secret and unbelievable
D. old and silly
27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.
A. the eggs of the nest owners
B. the eggs of the invaders
C.the eggs from foreign countries
D. the eggs unable to be hatched
28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?
A. To steal some eggs from other nests.
B. To put their own eggs into others? nests.
C. To hatch ot her coots? eggs.
D. To protect their own eggs.
29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?
Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.
Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.
Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.
A. Ⅰ.only
B. Ⅱ.only
C. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.
D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.
30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?
A. To trick other coots.
B. To fight back the tricks.
C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.
D. To recognize and count its own eggs.

My ideal job
Different people have different ideas about what is an ideal job. Some want to be doctors, some want to be teachers, some want to be engineers.
In my opinion, teaching is an ideal job. Teachers were low in social status in the old days, but recently their social position has been improved greatly, and it is now a fact that teachers are held in great respect by people everywhere. In addition, I think I am by nature suited to be a teacher because I like children very much and I am patient. I can treat students as my equals.
I?m now preparing for my future career as a teacher. I know it won?t be easy to become a good teacher. So I?m studying really hard not only in class, but also in everyday life. I am training my patience, improving my handwriting, and I am reading extensively to widen my scope of knowledge.

Passage One
Tracy McGrady is a real-life superstar. He spent the summer traveling in Europe, working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A. in an Olymp ic qualifying game. He also spent countless hours in the gym. “I work on things every day in the off-season, ”says McGrady, 24, an All-Star guard with the National Basketball Association?s Orlando Magic.
Until McGrady was 17, few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills. He was raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town. Sports were his escapes. To gain more exposure for his basketball skills, McGrady transferred to play his senior season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina. After leading the Mighty Warriors to a
26-2 record that season, McGrady was named Player of the Year by a national newspaper.
At 18, McGrady was starring for Toronto by the end of his new players? season. But he wanted to become one of the NBA?s elite (精英), so he hired a trainer and beban intense workouts. It?s not uncommon for McGrady, who signed with Orlando in 2002, to shoot 200 jumpers after practice, grab a healthy bite to eat and go to work out with the Los Angeles Lakers? Shaquille O?Neal, who own s a home in Orlando.
“He?s stayed at a high level, ”Orlando coach Doc Rivers says of McGrady. “A lot of young players can play a good 20 minutes, or have a great month. Tracy does it all season on both ends.”
To be that goood takes a lot of work. To be better takes even more. McGrady is ready for the challenge, because he knows what he wants. “I don?t want to be one of those players that?s known for being a great player that never won a championship, ”McGrady says. “I want a title.”

Passage Two
Last December?s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll-roughly 40,000 people-largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick buildings, If a group of researchers in India are successful, the earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material:bamboo.
They designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and
bamboo-reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure , the engineers , sponsored by the U.K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Research Centre in Bangalore, which has a state-of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置)。The researchers shook the house with five house with five successive 30-second pulses, being equal to 7.8 on the Richter(里氏)scale. The simulation was more than 10 times as violent as the Bam earthquake , yet the house emerged undamaged. “We didn?t even crack the paint,” says engineer Paul Follett, of Britain?s Timber Research and Development Association.
By some estimates, more than a billion people already live in bamboo structures. The innovation lies in developing ways to exploit bamboo?s spring. Easily pre-built, fire resistant, and far lighter than steel, bamboo-based structures could be assembled in three weeks and last 50 years. At five dollars a square foot, they would last roughly half as much as brick-and-block constructions. Follett says the project will follow an “open source ”model:”Whatever is developed is freely available for the common good.”

Passage Three
As they entered the 21st century, people could not help looking back to the past 20 years when they managed to cope with a new threat—the computer. By the year of 1980, computers had become a fact of life. They were, the magazine DISCOVER noted that Cecember, “in cars, offices, schools and homes, toys and watches. In some airplanes, pilots need not handle the controls; they are?flight managers? who watch the computer manage the
flight and landing. On the way are voice-driven typewriters, robots that can …see?, and hand-held computers that can over the contents of the Library of Congress.”
But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes”(电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War Ⅲto be launched entirely by technical error.”
Some executives especially hated computers, Leo reported. They worried that they would lose status ---and their assistants ---if they were seen at keyboard. Publishers and journalists, he continued, were frightened that the printed word would be eliminated. “True, the newspaper travels well---you can not put a computer under your arm while rushing for a train, ” he wrote, “Not now , but a more advanced and complicated portable version, about the size of a hand—held electronic game , may not be far off.”
Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn?t be found without having their portable computers on their laps. The widespread fear of computers seems a thing of the past---a shift that Leo correctly predicted.”Every one will accept computers , ” he wrote, “because there is no alternative.”
26. The magazine listed the uses of computers in the following fields EXCEPT _______.
A. education
B. transportation
C. publication
D. medicine
27. Some executivex did not like computers in that ________.
A. they might lose their importance and respect

D. they had to buy expensive portable computers
28. Which of the following is NOT what the computerphobes are expecting?
A. More privacy.
B. More jobs.
C. More literacy.
D. More world wars.
29. Today the same executives and journalists can be found to _________.
A. dislike computers
B. fear using computers
C. use computers frequently
D. use computers rarely
30. When the author says:”…there is no alternative ” in the last sentence of the passage, he means that __________.
A. computers provide no choice
B. computers are to be accepted
C. computers offer no help to pilots
D. more complicated computers have to be made in factories
Passage Four
As contrasts go , there are few other pairs of culture as distinct from each other as the Japanese and the Americans. Japan?s many centuries of history and especially its Buddhist heritage (佛教文化) have given the Japanese an attitude of repose (从容) the best course is to let it be : When the time is ripe , things will work out by themselves. America, on the other hand , is just a few centuries old and displays an almost volcanic liveliness and restlessness. For the Japanese , social harmony has a prior claim in every circumstance; for the Americans, harmony is the result of the rational interaction of free and fair-minded
people. One does not lightly move from traditions in Japan, many of which are centuries old; in the United States, the habits and attitudes of even one?s parent?s generation are suspect.
Every culture , through its legal and institutional arrangements, mirrors the society?s resolution of some basic human problems. These can provide a useful frame work for the analysis of cultural differences. Organizations also face the same problems and usually take their cue from the prevailing culture in designing solutions to these problems. This suggests that the perspective provided by viewing culture through the framework of this problem will be useful for organizational analysis as well. The following sectiona present a discussion of such a framework in the context of the contrast between Japan and the United Stares.
Before this is presented, however, we must alert the reader that the differences are stated here as being sharper than they may be in reality. On each of the aspects discussed later, there is naturally considerable variation within each culture, because examples demonstrating the cultural reality opposite to the one described in this book can be found easily. Thus, the following discussion should be viewed in the way it is presented,as generalizations and tendencies rather than as absolutes.
31. Cultural differences between the Japanese and the Americans are the _____.
A. most obvious
B. slightest
C. same
D. less suitable
32. Those who are likely to doubt their parents? values and ways of doing things are probably ________________.
A. the Japanese
B. the Americans
C. both the Japanese and the Americans
D. neither the Japanese nor the Americans

A. Six.
B. Five.
C. Four.
D. Two.

Humans fall into two types when it comes to biological clock: the early-to-bed and early-to-rise or the late-night-loving who wake up long after the dawn. As any parent knows, teenagers may take the 76 to extremes. But their oversleeping does not relax them. Some researchers say: “Biology is to blame.”
The researches surveyed the sleep habits of 25, 000 Germans. 77 from 8 to 90, and found that as the teenage years wear on , the hour when kids go to bed and get up drifts later and later. It?s not that they?re sleeping more, 78 , it?s that their living clocks are twisted. However, when they are around age 20, the pattern reverses. The clocks tick 79 , and young adults begin to go to sleep and wake up earlier and earlier. Eventually, their clocks go along with 80 of older people.
The quick change may mark the biological end of teenage years. A difference 81 the timing in man and in woman points to a biological cause, perhaps a hormonal effect.
Because the living clock is 82 by exposure to sunlight, the researchers suspect the many hours some kids 83 staying in their dark rooms could push the clocks even later-a pattern that may be more common in industrialized societies. The researchers also discovered that rural residents, 84 lifestyle puts them in daylight more, go to bed and get up an hour earlier than city 85 . “We think this is only the tip of an ice berg that shows us the consequences of dim-light environments, ” the researchers say.

The Importance of Obtaining a Degree for Your Life
It is well-known that there are sharp competitions in the market of employment nowadays. A college degree is , to some extent, a passport to a prosperous future. So if one wants to find a decent job in the future, it is important and necessary for him to obtain a degree in his life first.
As for me, to obtain a degree is not an easy thing, But I believe that great success resulted from hardworking and great confidence. On one hand, I must overcome a lot of difficulties while I am learning something new within my courses at my spare time. I will try my best to understand what I learn. On the other hand, when I come across difficulties and hardships, I should not complain about them but cope with them with patience and confidence. And what?s more, I should build up faith in myself by realizing my strong points and weak points.
As the proverb goes, “where there is a will, there is a way”. I am sure I can obtain a degree successfully in my life by means of confidence and deligence.
