One of the most disturbing statistics
I’ve read for a long time was published this week. The Work Foundation claims
that job satisfaction in this country has fallen alarmingly. Women’s
satisfaction level has fallen from 51 percent in 1992 to 29 percent today; men’s
has fallen from 35 percent to 20. The reason — the long-hours culture and job
insecurity. For my father’s generation, work was something that
had to be endured so that real life could be maintained. But my generation has
been gulled into thinking that work is real life, Most work is not satisfying.
Most work stinks. Most work, however well paid, is meaningless and dull. But
somehow we’ve been convinced that work provides self-fulfillment.

we did the better. Thatcher introduced the idea that, in a world w A. (A) they had little time left to themselves B. (B) they had struggled hard for equal treatment C. (C) they had enjoyed themselves more D. (D) they had a strong desire to be set free from work

Passage One
Like most people, I’ve long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.
Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.
I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I to A. one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligence B. talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job C. one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person D. professionals tend to look down upon manual workers
[简答题] Rules of Self-introduction The most important one is: focus on one speech topic. If you have to come up with a very brief 30~60 seconds or a somewhat longer—two or three minutes--self-introduction, make sharp choices. Do not expect it to be an award winning boring autobiography (自传).Due to the fact you have to speak your speech around one theme, I recommend to develop one aspect of your life. That aspect will tell who you are and what you are about. ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________

[单项选择] Passage One One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming from Wave. It’s real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you’re replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat. Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like A. people cannot find practical uses for it B. it will be a challenge to regular e-mail C. the technology it needs is more complicated D. many people do not understand how it works
