A.B.1）"I never expected that I would be so busy. Why can't there be 25 hours in a day? "complained Liu Ran in Hong Kong as mid-term exams were going on.The 18-year-old was Shandong Province's top scorer in this year's college entrance examination. After graduating from Tai'an No.1 High School, she chose the Chinese University of Hong Kong, although both Peking University and Tsinghua University promised her a place."I want to experience a more international school and social life in Hong Kong. I'm majoring in journalism, so Hong Kong will surely help widen my horizons, " Liu said.It is two months since Liu first set foot on Hong Kong. She missed home a lot at the beginning, because of the food and language problems."The canteen offers mostly Western or Guangdong food, but it's convenient to cook for ourselves in our dorm if we like. People speak Cantonese and almost all classes are in English, " Liu explained.Her English and Cantonese are now both improving, but she still needs more time to adapt to the new environment."I'm happy that I made the right decision to study here. With a mix of the Eastern and Western cultures, there is so much to discover and learn, " she said.Liu has 18 credit hours of classes every week and 23 non-credit hours every other week. She has signed up for four associations including the Chinese Language Debating Team and the drama club. Essays, book reports and presentations also take plenty of time to prepare. And, of course, there are various parties to attend."I wasn't a party animal before, but that may be interesting part of college.

It's very likely that you'll want tohave volunteers to help with the organization's activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let's begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences,and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs,people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs.Unfortunately, these programs can shift peoples wish of participation from an internal factor （e.g., "I volunteer because it's important to me"） to an external factor （e.g., "I volunteer because I'm required to do so ）. When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions.Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. TheA.academic requirementsB.social expectationsC.financial rewardsD.internal needs1）A.B.C.D.2）A.B.C.D.3）A.B.C.D.4）researchers mote that attention should be given to "training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience".Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view "volunteer" as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statement such as "Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am. Consistent with the researchers' expectations, they found a positive correlation （正相关）between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These result, once again, lead to concrete advice: "Once an individual begins volunteering,continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity…Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity."People volunteer mainly out of .What can we learn from the Florida study?Follow-up studies should last for one year.Volunteers should get mentally prepared.Strategy training is a must in research.Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work?Individual differences in role identity.Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.Role identity as a volunteer.Practical advice from researchers.What is the best title of the passage?How to Get People to VolunteerHow to Study Volunteer BehaviorsHow to Keep Volunteers' InterestHow to Organize Volunteer Activities7.A.in a different family environmentB.in a different family traditionC.in different family crisesD.in different families1）A.B.C.2）How is it that siblings （兄弟姐妹） can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family . The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918.But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others' lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren't getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesn't mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don't enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between "I" and "me" .A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.The underlined part "in a different family" （in Para. 1） means " " .In terms of language development, later-borns .get their parents' individual guidancelearn a lot from their elder siblingsexperience a lot of difficultiesD.A.B.C.D.3）A.having qualities of parentsB.having qualities of womenC.having defensive qualitiesD.having extraordinary qualities4）pick up words more quicklyWhat was found about fights among siblings?Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.Siblings in some families fought frequently.Siblingfights led to bad sibling relationships.Siblings learned to get on together from fights.The word "feminine" （in Para. 4） means " " .8.Camaraderie over CompetenceThe importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the Harvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out who we'd rather work with.Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human beings. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More interestingly, the authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools and competent jerks（性情古怪的人）, we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, but our behavior shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with them.What companies should therefore do is get people to like each other more. The trick here is apparently to make sure staffs come across each other as often as possible during the day. They also should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendliness and break down displeasure.However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machines inspire no confidence at all.The reality is that people either like each other or they don't. You can't force it.Possibly you can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are interrelated: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopeless.I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I found her to be so outstandingly bad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really liking her at all. Then is there anything that companies should be doing about it?A.Nice but unintelligent.B.Creative but unattractive.petent but unfriendly.D.Humorous but unambitious.1）A.B.C.D.2）A.offend each otherB.create fewer new ideasC.talk more and work lessD.be likely to stick together3）A.B.C.D.4）By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are. all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determinants of whether we like each other. I think this is a pretty good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore without offending the diversity lobby group. There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop creativity. This may be true,though have never seen any conclusive proof of it.Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So if companies want to promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice to each other. The trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.According to the research, which kind of colleagues would most people tend tochoose?The author talks about her experience to show that .people respect outstanding leaderspeople tend to like optimistic workmatesa workmate's working ability is importanttalkative workmates makes offices friendlierSome people think that similar people working together may .To encourage workmates to like each other, companies could .arrange the training course for workers to study togetherorganize team-building activities outside the officeencourage a diversity of opinions in workplaceemploy staff who have a lot in common9.About five percent of people are left-handed; they tend to use the left hand moreoften, for more purposes, than the right hand. Some parents of left-handed children worry about the condition. 1 But most authorities agree that left-handed children should be allowed to perform naturally. Many of the most talented people in history have been left-handed—the greatest artist Leonardo da Vinciand Michelangelo among them.A. B. C. D. E. F. G.Left-handed persons find out early in life that they are living in a“right-handedsociety.” Most of the objects they encounter are made for the convenience of right-handed people—locks, screws, doorknobs, golf clubs, and even automobiles. Left-handed people must adjust to this “right-handed”. 2 They are able to do anything that right-handed people can do.3 But it is known that the body is not exactly the same on both sides. Theleft side of the face is a little different from the right. One leg is usually somewhat stronger than the other, as is one arm.Scientists have even found that the right half and left half of the brain do not function in the same way. This is still being studied. It is believed that in most people the left half of the brain predominates, or “rules”, over the right half. The nerves from the brain cross over at the level of the neck, going to opposite sides of the body and making most people right-handed. 4Whatever the cause, research indicates that ever since prehistoric times few humans have been left-handed. 5 Ancient tools and weapons that have been unearthed were clearly made for right-handed, not left-handed,people.We can even see the evidence.They think about trying to change it.Most of them soon learn to manage quite well.Our hands are controlled by the motor center of the brain.Most left-handed people face the right side when writing or drawing.But no one has explained why the leftside of the brain dominates in most people.No one is sure of what makes most people right-handed and a minority left-handed.10.假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。
