A
"Wanted by the FBI．" To the murderer, or the bank robber, these are the most frightening words in the world．When the criminal hears them, he knows that six thousand trained persons are after him．
Why should he be so afraid? There are thousands of cities and villages where he can hide, and forests and deserts, as well．Besides, he's usually rich with stolen money．Money can make it easier to hide．With money, the criminaLcan even pay a doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize．But the criminals know that as public enemies, they can be found by the FBI no matter where they hide．
They know every trick the criminal knows and many more．If he makes just one mistake, they'll get him．That's why the man who is wanted can't sleep．That's why he becomes nervous, why he jumps at every sound．
The FBI began on May 10th, 1924．General Harlan Stone chose Edgar Hoover, a young lawyer, to head the new agency．"What we need is a wholly new kind of police force," he said．"Criminals today are smart．They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways．They have learned to open any lock, using advanced technology．We can't beat them with old methods．We have to train officers to work scientifically．"
Edgar Hoover quietly went ahead with his plans．He picked his men carefully．They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five．He wanted only men with good manners and good character．When working as his officers, they would have to meet all kinds of people．Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun．But the FBI cannot help in every police problem．It can look into only certain crimes against the government．Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces．
46．A man wanted by the FBI will find that money is _____．
A．not at all useful B．very helpful for a while
C．necessary for his crime D．everything for him

Do you suffer from perfectionism（完美主义）?
According to psychologist and perfectionism researcher, Hamaehek D．E．there are two types of perfectionism: normal and neurotic （神经质）．A person with normal or healthy perfectionism feels a deep sense of pleasure from the dull effort of working towards "perfect"．And then there are the neurotic or unhealthy perfectionists who never feel satisfied but keep struggling towards impossible goals．These people often measure their own self-worth entirely in terms of productivity and accomplishment．
It is necessary to notice if you are struggling and feel tense while trying to perfect your recipe, article, parenting, job, project, etc．You are fighting and resisting your own humanness．How do you know if you suffer from perfectionism?
* Are you afraid of making mistakes?
* Do you get impatient with others when they make a mistake?
* If you fail an assignment at work or school, do you feel like a failure?
* How do you feel when you read these questions?
Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for all of your other relationships．If you are hard on yourself, then you'll in turn be hard on others．If we are unable to care for our innermost beings, then our lives will reflect this fault in some way．Embracing your own humanness is the doorway to seeing the miracles of who you are at your best．
Dr．Bemie Siegcl writes in his new book on miracles, "Our body loves us, but it needs to know we love our lives in order for it to do all it can to help us survive．The change in body energy motivated by the love leads to chemical changes in our body and makes a difference．In many cases, this kind of miracle needs hard work．But when you are willing to do the work, and live in your heart, it can happen．"
50．According to the text, people with neurotic perfectionism probably ______．A．worry about their health B．get great pleasure from their hard work
C．accept no failure in life D．take great pride in doing doll work 51．The major difference between normal and neurotic perfectionism lies in ____．A．self-confidence ．B．self-expectation
C．sense of accomplishment D．sense of satisfaction
52．In the opinion of Dr．Bemie Siegel, the miracle has roots in __ .
A．love of our life B．chemical changes in our body
C．hard work ．D．eagerness for success

The teacher who did' the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt．She was Myrtle C．Manigault; the wife of my mother's brother Bill．She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey．
During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect．Of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females．I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good．I couldn't dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps．She took me to the theatre —not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays did not make her disappointed．
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me．I had books at home, but they were all serious classics．Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her．Most important, perhaps．Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication．A writer herself, for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a "youth columnist"．My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name was my passport to a series of writing jobs．
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favorite niece"．Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path．
53．Which of the following didn't Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?
A．She lent her some serious classics．
B．She cultivated her taste for music．
C．She discovered her talent for dancing．
D．She introduced her to adult plays．
54．What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A．A book of great fun．B．A writer of high fame．
C．A serious masterpiece． D ．A heartbreaking play．
55．Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to __．A．develop her capabilities for writing
B．give her a chance to collect material
C．involve her in teenage social activities
D．offer her a series of writing jobs
56．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ___．A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined
B．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential
C．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils
D．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896．That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile．Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts．That is not true, either．Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford．What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better．And he made the whole factory a moving production line．In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars．It was the best wav of gaining public notice．Henry Ford decided to build a racing car．Ford's most famous race was his first one．It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself．

His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States．Within weeks of the race．Henry Ford formed a new automobile company．In the 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company．That sale was the beeinning of Henry Ford's dream．Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people．It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for．It will be built of the best materials．It will be built by the best men to be employed．
And it will be built with the simplest plans that modem engineering can produce．It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one．"
The Model T was a car of that kind．It only cost $850．It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on．Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers．Even criminals, They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation．Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it．Thousands of Model Ts were built in the first few years．

A．Leadership
B．Conflict Solving
C．Open Communication
D．Respect to All Team Members
E．Measuring Progress against Goals
F．Common Goals with Challenging Target______
Team Building Means More than Throwing a Few People Together
“Team working" is found ev erywhere within just about every orgamzation．You can’t get away from "teams" that are supposed to be able to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts．Or so the theory goes.
There are live measures that need to be taken before you can get the most out of a learn: 61．
There must be a clear reason for the team to exist．And all the members should realize the value and significance of what they are going to do．What they are hoping to achieve should be something achievable but at the same time tough and inspiring enough to attract the members and keep their motivation alive．What is more, they should also be well prepared for the possible difficulties they may come across in the process．
62．______
Team members must be able to express their opinions freely without fear of being criticized and they must have the feeling that their suggestions will be taken seriously．This is an important point because the team may need to resolve some complex or thorny issues．For example, it may discuss a sensitive topic- Should, they keep their conclusion within the team or share it with other employees．This is an issue in itself that all the members should agree on frank discussion is required．
63．______
It is easy to think that a junior team member may have less to contribute than more experienced ones. This is not only demoralizing or discouraging, it also makes no sense—people that have nothing to contribute should not have been selected for the team in the first place．Since they have become members of your team, you need to make sure that each of them has an opportunity to add his or her thoughts to discussions.
64．___
Disagreements are natural and, in fact debate and discussion should be encouraged．A learn made up only of "yes men" can make disastrous decisions that few people honestly agreed with ,in the first place．Consequently, there should be rules on how lengthy disagreements should be handled．For example, team meetings may not be the most appropriate place for a discussion that involves only two people, so "under-the-table method may be effective.
65．___
Most high-performing teams are well organized．A good organizer should be able to play to individuals' strengtns and help them overcome their weaknesses．It should be someone who can act as a promoter and a constant reminder of what the team needs to achieve．He must, above all, be skilled in sharing responsibility and setting tasks to others coaching them to achieve tasks, and providing constructive feedback on how the tasks went. Team building isn't as simple as just throwing a few people together．It requires much more, but motivating people is most essential．Successful team working is not marked by how much progress the team makes toward its goals, but by how confidently each of its members completes his or her assigned tasks with a sense of achievement and pride．
