But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is shortterm, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they maydo it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性). Today's workplace is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor (因素)in the work life of most people.21. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the workplace when _________.A. he is forced to do thingsB. be cannot work at his bestC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks his work is too heavy22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.B. Working conditions affect people' s physical health.C. Good relationship is the key to business success.D. Smart people are more functional in the workplace.23. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all _________.A. provide better suggestionsB. develop his own personalityC. give his employees a pay raiseD. hide his own emotion of fear24. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader' s ability to _________.A. provide a variety of projects for employeesB. help raise employees' living standardsC. give employees specific instructionsD. deal wisely with employees' emotionsThe fillings inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts, sesame(芝麻), osmanthus flowers(桂花), rose petals, sweetened tangerine(橘子) peel, bean paste, or jujube paste(枣子酱). A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat(肉末儿), vegetables or a mixture.The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dippedin water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.25. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.C. Sweet Yuanxiao is usually made in southern China.D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling it like a snowball.27. Choose the right order of making Tangyuan in southern provinces.① make a hole and insert the filling② roll the dough between your hands③ shape the dough of rice flour into balls④ close the hole⑤ prepare some rice flourA. ⑤③②①④B. ③⑤①②④C. ③①④②⑤D. ⑤③①④②28. What is the best title of this passage?A. The Lantern Festival.B. The ingredients of Yuanxiao.C. The difference between Yuanxiao and Tangyuan.D. China's traditional food—Yuanxiao.29. Why do we eat Yuanxiao today?A. Because it' s a tradition.B. Because it' s a kind of tasty food.C. Because we love our country.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life' s doors will remain forever closed.According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of astudent' s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators--like a student' s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT can show a student' s academic proficiency, they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student' s potentialities (潜力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.30. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'A. strong willB. academic abilityC. full potentialities。

Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time，she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects， ready to dive into a book， she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation， she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable : 390 million copies of books in print， nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels， and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death， new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house， a loving family， and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge， Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention， her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But，if she does have anything in common with them， it is her strength of will and her inimitable(无与伦比的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.26. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in thatA. she can write several books at the same timeB. she often does some research before writing a bookC. she is one of the most popular American women writersD. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break27. Children who have read "Max and Martha" picture books may knowA. how to deal with affairs at schoolB. what to do if Max and Martha dieC. what to do when new babies are born into their familiesD. how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes28. One of Danielle Steel' s achievements is thatA. some TV plays were based on her booksB. her picture books attracted a lot of young menC. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records29. We can learn from the passage that Danielle SteelA. lives an exciting lifeB. values her readers a lotC. writes about quiet womenD. is pleased with her achievementsBSome futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge (剧增) of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women， according to this hypothesis， would rather work than marry. The converse (反面)of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past， only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now， however， the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life， the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows， with the increase in women working outside the home. Yet， it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife' s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family' s standard of living， a working wife may strengthen her family' s financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example， a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand， if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home， work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also， a major part of women' s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that， in most cases， men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reactsto these new conditions， it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.30. The word "portend" (Line 2， Para. 1 ) is closest in meaning to _________.A. defyB. signalC. suffer fromD. result from31. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides.A. men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB. more women would get married to seek financial securityC. even working women would worry about their marriagesD. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being32. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home，A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB. their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC. their marriage ties can be strengthenedD. they tend to put their career before marriage33. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is thatA. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD. they tend to Suspect their husbands' loyalty to their marriage34. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author' s view in the passage?A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rote may reflect the economic situation of the country.B. Even when economically independent， most women have to struggle for real equality in mar-riage.C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent.D. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.CIt seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China， Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services. Gordon Brown， the UK PrimeMinister， has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service.The crux of Mr. Brown' s proposals is related to giving the NHS ( National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention， rather than just curing patients.He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease， strokes and cancer， for example， breast cancer. In Britain there are 200，000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes， many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about.Initially， the diagnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable， or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉)，a condition which kills 3，000 men a year. The opposition have criticized Mr. Brown' s proposals， saying that they are just a trick， and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them.The NHS was founded in 1948， and is paid for by taxation. The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However， in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care， and it' s much quicker. The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long， so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.35. The underlined word "vulnerable" in the fourth paragraph probably means _________.A. sickB. weakC. woundedD. old36. All the following statements are true except that _________.A. all people should pay for their health care at the NHSB. some people are against the reform of health careC. the writer is likely to come from BritainD. more money will be spent on testing people than before _________.37. Which of the following is the reason for the increasing private health care?A. People are paying more attention to their own health.B. People are well off enough to pay their health care.C. The NHS was not available for most of the people.D. It' s not so convenient for people to go to the NHS for their health care.38. According to the passage， the purpose of the health reform plan in the UK is to _________.A. encourage more private health careB. focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patientC. deal with the main artery problemsD. fight against the opposition in the UK39. The author of this passage intends to tell usA. the NHS should be reformed right awayB. more and more people are dying from diseasesC. the plan to reform the NHS in the UKD. the criticism of Mr. Brown' s proposalsDNew rules and behavior standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. The Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won' t only have high marks. They should not dye (染) their hair， smoke or drink because they are students. The following are some of the new rules.Have you ever copied someone else' s work in an exam? Don' t do that again ! That' s not something an honest student should do.Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! And you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. Be friendly to the people around you. Try to think of others， not only yourself.Be open to new ideas. Do you think people can live on the moon? Maybe you' 11 find another earth someday. Don' t look down on new ideas. Everyone' s ideas are important. You should welcome them， because new ideas make life better for everyone.Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don' t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late， you should let your parents know.Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for students. But some things on the Internet aren' t for children， so try to look at web pages (网页) that are good for you.40. What's the meaning of "look down on" in the passage?A. 向下看B. 轻视C. 在......上面看D. 上下打量41.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because thelisteners do not know what the speaker, plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any wiser. When such moments occur, don' t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn' t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King' s famous speech--"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But,in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect perform-er. They are looking for a well-though-out speech that expresses the speaker' s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker' s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don' t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.31. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one willA. be smarter than youB. notice your mistakesC. do better than youD. know what you are talking about32. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.A. your attention is focused on the contentB. you don' t fully understand the speechC. you don' t know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important33. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will beBEight Days from just ￡ 299Departs May--October 2005Includes :● Return flightsfrom 8 UK airports to Naples● Retu rn airport to hotel transport● Seven nights' accommodation at the 3 * Hotel Nice● The services of guides● Government taxesJoin us for a wonderful holiday in one of Europe' s most wonderful corners.

Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb took off his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar' s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb."Tom, No!" shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that' s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in midair and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted. Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar' s claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫) and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the comer of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father."Knife, Tom," shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father' s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall. Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar' s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.38. Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?A. To get ready to fight.B. To frighten it away.C. To protect the boy.D. To cool down.39. What do we know about cougars?A. They are afraid of noises.B. They hesitate before they hit.C. They are bigger than we think.D.

Jeb held Tom across his body.DThe Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline； production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised) ； and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week: "We will soon be changed beyond all recognition. "Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people from the south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because the Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.42. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil" industry to _________.A. provide more jobs for foreign workersB. slow down the rate of its developmentC. sell the oil it is producing abroadD. develop more quickly than at present43. The Norwegian Government has tried to _________.A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sourcesB. prevent oil companies employing people from northern NorwayC. help the oil companies solve many of their problemsD. keep the oil industry to something near its present size44. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to _________.A. the development of industryB. a growth in population.C. the failure of the development programmeD. the development of new towns45. In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be _________.A. a large reduction on unemploymentB. a growth in the tourist industryC. a reduction in the number of existing industriesD. the development of a number of service industries46. Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because _________.A. they form such a large part of the Norwegian idealB. their lives and values represent the Norwegian idealC. their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian societyD. they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian .way of lifeⅣ.汉英翻译47.长途旅行之后他们看起来很疲惫。

Before he left， he said to his son， "If anyone asks for me， you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something，and will be back in a week， then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea. ""OK， Dad，" said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this，so he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket， took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed， but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man tocome and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him， so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon， someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said， "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it， so he shouted， "No more. "The man was very surprised. He asked， "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?""Burnt yesterday evening. "36.

You e an have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck， but when you are down， they will rtm away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities of character， especially understanding， honesty and reliability.Above all else， I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead， hetries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place， and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time， however， a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short， a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time， I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble，he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives， and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor， too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable， honest， and understanding， I know I've found a friend!41. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. Understanding.B. Honesty.C. Reliability.D. A sense of humor.42. If you have fair weather friends， _________.A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends43. Good friends need to _________.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck44. This passage mainly discuss _________.A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friendCAllen : I' ve never been a big fan of the bears， especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999) we passed it by， because we didn't want to spend the time on something we didn't really enjoy. If we'd known it would be closed by our next visit， I'm sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn' t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳) up for the C'ountry Bear show at Disneyland.But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears，but clearly very few kids today ( or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact， but it' s a fact. For whatever reason， the show doesn' t pull in the numbers. Isn' t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise aren't we just telling the kids today that .they" have to" make great memories of the Bears， when it's obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears as we did?Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child， and still enjoying it as a teenager， and now as a young adult. It is true that there aren' t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking， and it is nice to have an attraction that is a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop， but there has to be some history to the Disney-land that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won' t be any attractions that I can say. I went as a child at the rate they are going.Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best， because of attractions like the Country-Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest， well， then it might as well be just another theme park.45. What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?A. The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.B. There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland.C. The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling.D. The Bears will retire because of old age and can' t give shows any more.46. Allen spoke mainly to get this point across that _________.A. the Bears will be missedB. we should tell the kids today that they "have to" make great memories of the BearsC. the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attractionD. people never care about what they have until all is lost47. Give the best choice to complete Roger' s idea: the Country Bears have beena part of Disney-land for nearly 30 years， _________.A. and I feel it is time to give our bears a good restB. but anyway， the attraction is no longer interestingC. but I know that Disneyland will always be changing， and I accept thatD. and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving48. Which of the following is NOT in the same group as the other three?A. An attraction.B. A theme park.C. The Bears.D. The latest magic.49. Where can this passage be found?A. In a Web discussion zone.B. In a suggestion book.C. In a report on the popularity of the Country Bears.D. In high school students' compositions.DOdland remembers as it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed， but Odland can' t get the memory out of his mind，nor the woman' s kind reaction (反应). She was shocked， regained calmness and，in a kind voice， told young Odland， "It' s OK. It wasn' t your fault. " When she left the restaurant， she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn' t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather， it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It' s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything， but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something hke， "I could cut this place and fire you，" or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it， or at least first wrote it down， is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management."A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter， or to others， is not a nice person，" Swanson says， "I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables. "50. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman' s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman comforted him.D. The woman left the restaurant at once.51. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _________.A. his experience as a waiterB. the advice given by the CEOs .C. an article in FortuneD. an interesting best-selling book52. According to the text， most CEOs have the same opinion about _________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Management RulesC. Swanson' s bookD. the Waiter Rule53. From the text we can learn that _________.A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should respect others no matter who they areD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsⅢ.短文改错/Proofreading and error correctionWe use both words and body language to express ourthoughts and opinions but to communicate with other 54. _________people.
