7．After having worked in the University of Maryland for three years，I got a job offer from another university---Lynn University．I left my letter of offer on my present boss's desk，turned around，and closed the door quietly．I was expecting a call from my boss saying congratulations，which would show her approval of my leaving．
In the afternoon，my boss called me，saying，"Can we meet tomorrow？"That was a good signal．The next day，I met with my boss．She said，'Nicholas，we want you．What do you want？"I said，"Boss，I deserve a significant pay raise this year due to my outstanding performance．I think I need a 10% pay raise next year as a condition for me to stay here．"My boss said，"No problem．''
When I left her office，I called Lynn University and told them that I was going to get a 10% pay raise．They had to give me 10% more than their original pay offer in order for me to accept the job．The new boss told me that he was willing to give me more，but I would feel very bad working at this university with such a high pay．I would win a battle，but I would lose a war．He said，"The problem is that your colleague will earn less than you，so you will feel guilty（內(nèi)疚）and uncomfortable．But，I can still give you 5% more than the original offer．"
I delivered this massage to my present boss，and she told me that she would give me another 5% pay raise if I promised to refuse this new job offer．On top of that，she would strongly support my early promotion（晉升）from assistant professor to associate professor．According to the university policy，you must take at least 6years to get promoted．That was my third year of employment at this university．After refusing the new job offer，I finally enjoyed both a pay raise and early promotion．
24．In paragraph 2，what does Nicholas mean by"That was a good signal"？C
A．His boss would approve his leaving the University of Maryland．
B．He would leave his present job and work for Lynn University．
C．His boss would talk with him about a possible pay offer．
D．His friends would congratulate him on getting a new job offer．
25．Why did the new boss agree to another 5% raise when Nicholas asked for 10% the next day？D
A．He did not have the right to make such a big pay offer．
B．he did not want Nicholas to earn more than he did．
C．Nicholas was not experienced enough to get such a raise．
D．Nicholas would not feel good for earning too much more than others．

2．Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street？Perhaps they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them．As the number of this new"species"of human has kept rising，they have been given a new name-phubbers（低頭族）．
Recently，a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight．In the short film，phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones．A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die，a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍） in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone．A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of theworld．
Although the ending sounds overstated，the damage phubbing can bring is real．
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it．"Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck，"Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying．"the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching．"Also，staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually，according to the report．
But that's not all．Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family．At reunions with family or friends，many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，Qilu Evening News reported．
It can also cost you your life．There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight．

28．For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para.2？B
A．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients．
B．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing．
C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers．
D．To advertise the cartoon made by students．
29．Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have？A
A．He will cause the destruction of the world．
B．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed．
C．He might get separated from his friends and family．
D．His social skills could be affected．
30．Which of the following may be the author's attitude towards phubbing？B
A．Supportive．
B．Optimistic．
C．Opposed．
D．Objective．
31．What may the passage talk about next？D
A．Advice on how to use a cell phone．
B．People addicted to phubbing．
C．Consequences of phubbing．
D．Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing．

12．In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment．They will not be laid off during recessions（經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條） or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots．To some observes，this is capitalism at its best，because workers are treated as people not things．Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people．
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works．In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job．The lifetime employment system includes only"regular employees"．Many employees do not fall into this category，including all women．All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees．These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are．These"irregular workers"make up about 10percent of the nonagricultural work force．Additionally，Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors（分包單位）．This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States．
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975recession．All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system．During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors．In the United States，corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority（資歷）．The difference then is probably less than the term"lifetime employment"suggests，but there still is a difference．And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society．The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual（合同的） terms．Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm．There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job．Most retirement benefits come from the employer．Changing jobs means losing these benefits．Also，teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production．Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily，lower productivity and lower pay．

74．According to the passage，a woman in JapanA．
A．cannot get a lifetime job
B．is impossible to get a part time job
C．will be employed for life
D．is among the regular workers
75Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm？B
A．they don't want to lose their retirement benefits．
B．they are not adaptable people．
C．a(chǎn)ny change of jobs will make them less paid．
D．they get used to the teamwork．
76．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twice
B．those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers
C．the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible
D．the Japanese system is totally different from the American system
77．What does the passage mainly discuss？D
A．The extremely hard situation during recessions．
B．The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan．
C．The characteristics of corporations in the United States．
D．The features of lifetime employment in Japan．

19．Nowadays more and more traditional businessmen feel worried that growing e-commerce will decrease their share of the market．
     According to a survey，90% of some people's purchases are made on the computer．As they find that by being able to go shopping online and choose the things that they need，and have them delivered right to their doorsteps，they could no longer be bothered with driving，the crowds，the noise of that，and they usually get a better selection．But sometimes they are cheated only to get the things they hate．
     Cornell University Marketing Professor Edward McLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by offering goods  like clothing，which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing，as well as items that are difficult to transport．He says some traditional stores are also pleasing pleasing customers with services such as setting up or repairing computers and other electronic  equipment．
     Traditional stores also offer social experiences that some shoppers enjoy．There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place．Oftentimes，you need that last sense of"this is exactly what I want"before you part with money．And you can't al-ways get that online．It's a rather cold process．

16．A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag．Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane．Jet lag interferes with a person's normal times for sleeping and waking．People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days．They also may have problems thinking clearly and remembering．
Kwangwook Cho is a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain．He reported the findings of his jet lag study in the publication Nature Neuroscience．
The study involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines．The women had served passengers on airplanes for five years．These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones．In the study，the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag．Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights．The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas．
Mister Cho took some fluid from the women's mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress．He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen．And he took pictures of their brains using magnetic resonance imaging．This is a way to measure the size of the brain's temporal lobes（顳葉）．
It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes．This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen．The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test．And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones．
Mister Cho says he believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip．He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four years．Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory．
Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain．They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently affect memory．
72．According to the text，jet lagD．
A．can cause difficulties in speaking
B．can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C．is the illness only found in people who work on the airplanes
D．can be caused by flying over several time zones in an airplane
73．It is inferred that more tests need to be done becauseC．
A．the conclusion was questioned by many scientists
B．scientists fear that his research is not done properly
C．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D．the woman who were studied in the research were not healthy
74．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the research results？A
A．Women who have a longer rest at home show better memory．
B．Women who fly in short time had smaller right temporal lobes．
C．Women who have longer flights failed the memory test．
D．Women who rest more than 14 days produced less hormones．
75．What is the subject discussed in the test？C
A．The cause of jet lag．
B．A story of a group of flight attendance．
C．A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain．
D．The importance of having enough rest after long flights．

17．Tips for Teaching Kids Responsibility
Your best friend has a teenager who helps with housework without being asked．Your cousin has a one-year-old child that puts her bottle in the sink when she finishes the milk，but no reminders are needed （36）D Raising helpful，good kids who know how to make a sandwich is not a fantasy!The following tips can give you a better chance of raising a responsible child who then grows into a responsible adult．
（37）C You can't suddenly spring responsibility on a teenager and expect he will know how to follow through．He needs time to practice and totally understand what responsibility means
Let kids help you．Don't complain when it's time to do housework．Smile and invite your son to help．（38）E He will take these good feelings and learn to take ownership of his home and feel proud of maintaining it．
（39）B Make responsibilities age-appropriate．You can show how to complete small tasks in daily life and perform them at a child's skill level．For example，if your kid wants a snack，show him where the apples are and how to wash one off．
Teach your child consequences．Learning to take care of his things also helps a child develop a sense of responsibility for his actions．Get your son to clean up after an project，and inform him that he won't be able to play with his crayon the next day if he leaves a messy table．（40）FThe more you carry out the rules，the more likely he is to clean up without being asked．
