Job or Money?Would you quit your job if you didn’t need the money?In a 1990 poll by theGallop Organization,many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich.Yet researchers find that work is one of life’s chief satisfactions for people.Consider W.Berry Fowler.In 1979,Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1988一a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser(可住宿的游艇)and a house inHawaii,and busied himself vacationing.But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work.So in 1992,he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings.“My best days on the golf course weren’t half as much fun as a good day at the office.”he says.A job,studies show,is more than a paycheck(薪水支票).Doing something well canincrease confidence and self-worth.When sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery(彩票)millionaires,he discovered 60 percent continued working at leasta year after they’d won.If jobs are so important,wouldn’t salary size be a gauge(标准尺)of jobsatisfaction?Americans think so.A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch WorldwideInc.,found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income.Yet studiesshow that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert.Work that doesn’t engage a person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucrative(有利可图的)it becomes.1.1.1 5.0A 1990 Gallop shows that many people quit work in order to be rich.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.2 5.0Researchers find that work is the only source from which people can derive satisfaction.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.3 5.0Fowler was a tutor in 1979.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.4 5.0After his retirement in 1988, Fowler spent a lot of time travelling.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.5 5.0After his retirement at the age of 40, Fowler didn’t return to work any more.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.6 5.0As far as Fowler was concerned, playing golf wasn’t as funny as working in the office.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.7 5.0Work is important in that it can boost one’s self-confidence and self-worth.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.8 5.0Sociologist H.Ray Kaplan found that 60 percent of 139 lottery winners continued to work many years after they had won.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.9 5.0Americans don’t attach any importance to how much money they can earn at all when they work.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.10 5.0A job that a person doesn’t show any interest in is not worthwhile regardlessof its salary size• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given2.阅读选择2.1 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。
There is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and hisattitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of thesubject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers—students who do better than their test scores show—usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things moreslowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers—those whofunction below their ability shown by test scores—often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, theirattitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. Forexample, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negativeattitude prevents you from learning.2.1.1 5.0What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher? • aLook for a new course.• bBe critical of the teacher.• cComplete the course with a good score.• dHave a right attitude toward thecourse.2.1.2 5.0The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in__________.• atheir test scores• btheir judgment of others• ctheir attitudes toward learning• dtheir skills in using computers2.1.3 5.0The underlined phrase“function below their ability shown by test scores”means the under-achievers__________.• aoften get low scores in tests• bdo worse in actual learning than in tests• cusually do better in tests than the over-achievers• dare always slow in learning and have to make more efforts2.1.4 5.0The example of the personal computer shows that __________.• afinding excuses helps in learning• bto react negatively can be harmful• chard-working is the key to success• dmaking use of the computer is important2.1.5 5.0What is the main idea of the passage?• aAttitudes play an important role in learning.• bStudents should learn how to use personal computers.• cTeachers are not so important in the learning process.• dThere are many differences between over-and under-achievers.2.2 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。
