Prefer
(i) Prefer is normally followed by to, not than: "1 prefer coffee to tea", "She preferred sewing to knitting", "We prefer going by car to traveling by train". The difficulty arises when infinitives are involved. We cannot say "She preferred to sew to to knit." In such cases we use rather than, but never than alone.
Occasionally (more often in literary than in spoken style. ) rather is brought forward and placed before the first infinitive, and than is left before the second: "He preferred rather to take the whole blame himself than to allow it to fall on the innocent".
(ii) Even with nouns rather than is permissible in a situation where a choice specifically for that occasion is involved. Thus "I prefer port to sherry" expresses a general preference.
But if the question is "What shall we have to drink？ Port？... Sherry.*", the reply might be, "I should prefer port rather than sherry". Perhaps there is a vague feeling that the infinitive to have is understood before each of the alternatives. But "I should prefer port to sherry" is also correct.
(iii) "Which do you prefer most？" is incorrect. Literally, prefer means "place before the other(s) ". It is therefore an absolute term, and cannot be modified by more or most.

McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations. And McGee isn't
alone. In recent weeks the No. 2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don't get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.
The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey: " I can't think of a single search I've done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first. "
Those who jumped without a job haven't always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. "The traditional rule was it's safer to stay where you are, but that's been fundamentally inverted, " says one headhunter. " The people who've been hurt the worst are those who've stayed too long.
When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being______.
A．arrogant.
B．frank.
C．self-centered.
D．impulsive.
When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.
When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs, the natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt" image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.
The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much bigger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror. But although the "felt" image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.
If the felt image is damaged for any reason--if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes, which wipe out recognition of one entire side--these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one's own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor's touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.
In which of the following situations will you find your image most vague？
A．When looking into the mirror.
B．When lying in bed with closed eyes.
C．When standing.
D．When walking.
听力原文：M: Hey, Jenny!
F: Oh, Johnny! You scared me.
M: You seemed today absorbed in this book. What is the name of it ？
F: The Interpretation of Dreams.
M: You' re reading Freud. Can you understand the book？ Or do you agree with the opinions in the book？
F: Well, as a matter of fact, it is rather difficult for me. It is part dream analysis, part autobiography, part theory of the mind, and part history of contemporary Vienna. The principle that underlay this book was that mental experiences and entities, like physical ones, are part of nature.
M: Sounds complicated.
F: That means that Freud could admit no mere accidents in mental procedures.
M: That is even more confusing.
F: Well, he thought that even nonsense, the most casual slip of the tongue, the most fantastic dream, must have a meaning.
M: Then what？
F: Then he applied this principle to treat his patients, which is called psychoanalytic therapy. When treating his patients, he would be a largely silent listener and encouraged the patients to say whatever comes to mind, no matter how foolish, repetitive or outrageous. He occasionally Intervened to what the patient is struggling to say.
M: I think this therapy is quite popular in modern practice.
P: Yea, although the effect of this analysis still remains a question. Do you know about his fundamental idea？
M: Just some vague ideas. Like that all humans are born with strong sexual desires and aggressiveness that fight against your intentions to suppress them; that erotic desire starts as early as in infancy.
F: You are right. And in many people' s eyes, this is nothing less than obscene. That is why three are never neutrals in the Freud wars. A psychoanalyst may regard Freud as a cultural hero, while another critic my devote his days to exposing Freud as a charlatan.
What is the name of the book Jenny is reading？
