11．One cold January evening in Philadelphia，Pennsylvania，America，I went with my father on an oil burner service call．My father was in his forties at that time and I was about twelve years old．He was always working hard trying to support us seven kids．I enjoyed hanging out with him whenever I could-he taught me so much．
We arrived at the call and after walking over snow and ice，we knocked on the customer's door．A senior citizen opened the door and let us into her very cold home．She was wearing an old，worn-out brown coat that went down to her knees．On her head，covering her gray hair，was an old and worn hat．The home wasn't furnished very well and was quite dark，except for a single light bulb over the dining room table．Below the light was an older man counting change from several old coffee cans．He looked up at us as we passed by to get to the kitchen where my dad would fix the oil burner．He didn't say anything．He just looked up at us．He couldn't speak English，nor could his wife．She only pointed to the kitchen and smiled at us．
After a short while，my father had the heater up and running，and it began to heat their cold home．The lady asked my dad in poor English how much she owed him for fixing the heater．My dad looked around the house and said that he had to go out to the truck and write the bill．
Once in the truck he marked the bill"no answer at home，no charge"，so they wouldn't be charged for his work．He looked over at me and said，"He was counting his change to pay me．They need their money more than I do．"
As usual，my father taught me something important that time，which was to be kind to the poor．

A．often taught the writer how to work
B．worked several jobs at the same time

1．The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management，the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid．The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye，in the process sometimes forming critical analyses of the factors that influence everyone's experience in the organization．
Consider the new views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of how people get promoted．Coleman is black．He spent 11 years with IBM，half of them working in management development，and now serves as a consultant in some big companies like AT&T and Coca-Cola．Coleman says that based on what he's seen at big companies，he considers the different roles of the following elements in the long-term success：performance counts a mere 10%，image，30%； and exposure，a full 60%．Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may increase your pay，it won't ensure you the big promotion．He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work，and what a high position these people hold．
Ridiculous beliefs？But they are not ridiculous to many people，especially many women and members of minority races who，like Coleman，feel that they have a better picture of the reality．"Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs，"says Kaleel Jamison，a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues．"They think that if you work hard，you'll get ahead-that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion．"She adds，"Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've got ahead because of their sex or color that they try to make themselves less visible．"Her advice to those folks：learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way to stand out among the people．

C．the opinions which are in conflict with the established beliefs
D．the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization

A．let your bosses know how good you are
B．establish a favorable image to the people around you
C．work as a consultant to your bosses

3．Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by the shark （鯊魚）．
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms．Lauren Smith，24，is close to completing her study on shark's ability to sense pressure．If her studies prove the theory，scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather．
Miss Smith had previously studied the behavior of lemon sharks in the Bahamas．
She then used their close relatives，lesser spotted dogfish，for further research at Aberdeen University．
Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory----resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001．
Miss Smith said："I've always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks．"
"I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree．I know there's so much more we need to understand----but it certainly opens the way to more research．"
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system．
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas，Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature，while also tracking them using GPS （Global Positioning System） technology．
In Aberdeen，she was able to study the effects of tidal （潮汐的） and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed．She also used a special lab which can mimic （模擬） oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts．
She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year．She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research．
72．The passage is most probably taken fromB．
A．a(chǎn) short-story collection
B．a(chǎn) popular science magazine
C．a(chǎn) research paper
D．a(chǎn) personal diary

A．Sharks may be used to predict bad weather．
B．Sharks'behavior can be controlled．
C．Michael Fish is not fit for his job．
D．Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster．
74．Lauren Smith conducted her research byD．
A．removing hair cells from a shark's balance system
B．measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
C．recording sharks'body temperature
D．monitoring sharks'reaction to weather changes
75．What is the passage mainly about？B
