A Pay Rise or Not?

"Unless I get a rise. I"ll have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley," George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the. town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.

George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didn"t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there.

Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises(加工资) for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang.

His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley rubbed his forehead his problems seemed endless.

Henry Manley was already deeply in debt. 查看材料

Personal Assistant of the Year

O Anne-Marie Garrard was shocked when it was announced that she had won the

00 Personal Assistant of the Year award. "The other candidates seemed me

34 to be very strong, and I have to say I found that the selection procedure really

35 hard," she says. "1 didn"t think I had any chance of winning. When I heard my

36 name, my legs were so weak I could only hardly stand up," she laughs. So

37 how is "the best" personal assistant chosen from a group of so extremely good

38 and very different individuals? The final decision was reached after a

39 day-long session of the tests, interviews and exercises. Garrard believes

40 the skills she uses in her job helped her how to perform. well. For instance, although

41 most of her work is for her company"s Managing Director, she works for six bosses

42 in all, so she always tries out to be prepared for anything that might happen.

43 As for the future, her firm has closed for its summer break now; as soon as

44 they will open again, there is a pay rise waiting for her. But Garrard is not

45 going to be relax. She says, "There"s always room for personal development. You must keep trying to improve."

根据下面材料,回答题。

Women in Job Market

Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985, Regent Beryl Milbum produced a report blasting the University of Texas System administration for not encouraging Women. The University was rated among the lowest for the system. In a 1987 update, Milbum commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement.

One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform. women of available administrative jobs.

College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon, said it is important that woman be flexible when it comes to relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.

Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus, many times in order for her to succeed, she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work.

Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia, inequities will exist.

"Women need to spend their energies and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."

According to Spirduso, women need to __________. 查看材料

A.produce a report on sexual discrimination

B.call for further improvement in their working conditions

C.spend their energies and time fighting against sexual discrimination

D.spend more time and energy doing scholarly activities

根据下面内容,回答题: During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍卖商) have wine auctions

根据下面内容,回答题:

During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍卖商) have wine auctions. Some are of wines for 21 drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were 22 down at £ 158 a bottle.1945 and 1961 are the two most 23 vintage years for claret(红葡萄酒). Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not 24 ago, an American at Christies paid £ 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.

Sometimes, it is a matter of personal 25 by the very rich. At other times there can be a26 objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid £ 9,000 for a magnum——that is,a two-bottle size——of 1864 Lafite. He 2730 people £ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was 28 ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant.

Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the 29 value of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a 30 of Lafite 1945 at, say, £ 2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sell later at the 31 price as the three cost in the first place. That is, naturally, taking inflation into 32.

But there is no 33 that a bottle of wine at £ 1,000 is a hundred times 34 than one that costs £ 10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is £100 a bottle. Above£ 100, you are paying for something 35 than taste.

根据以下材料,回答题Milk That Paid a Medical BillOne day, a poor boy who was selling goods

根据以下材料,回答题

Milk That Paid a Medical Bill

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime (10分钱) left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked,"How much do I owe you?"

"You don"t owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness".

He said, "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled(感到困惑 ).

They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor"s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case. After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words: "Paid in full with one glass of milk."

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: " Thank You, God, that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

The boy sold goods from door to door because __________. 查看材料

A.he wanted to help support his family

B.he needed money for school

C.he had to pay back a student loan

根据以下材料,回答题。

Rising Tuition in the US

Every spring, US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year"s budget.They consider faculty salaries, utility costs for dormitories, new building, needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude——it seems, inevitably——that, yet again, the cost of tuition must go up.

According to the US"s College Board, the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between 1993 and 2004 (46) In 2005 and 2006 ,the numbers continued to rise.

According to university officials, college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks. "Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year."said the university"s president, Dr. Bill Brown. "Student tuition pays for 78 percent of the university"s operating costs. "Brown"s school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report"s and The Princeton Review"s (47)

Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the school"s board of trustees(懂事) (48) This board oversees (监管)all of a state"s public institutions.

John Durham,assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University(ECU) ,explains that state law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever possible to the people of the state for free. Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education (49) State residents attending ECU pay about US $ 10,000 for tuition, room and board before financial aid.

Amid the news about continued increases in college costs, however, there is some good news.Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university. To receive financial aid, US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible(有资格的)for grants or loans (50)

请在第__(46)__处填上正确答案。 查看材料

A.The application is then sent to the student"s university, where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much.

B.At public universities, however, tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee, sometimes called the board "of governors.

C.The school currently charges US $ 23,410 a year for tuition.

D.Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food.

E.That"s more than double the rate of inflation.

F.The state government covers the rest.
