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

C. one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person
D. professionals tend to look down upon manual workers

[单项选择] Passage Five
Most people who develop Lyme disease, a
tick-borne infection that’s endemic in parts of the Northeast and Midwest, are
easily cured by taking an antibiotic like doxycycline for a couple of weeks. But
for years a debate has raged over what to do about patients whose symptoms
(fatigue, mental confusion, joint pain) never seem to clear up. One small but
vocal group of doctors and patient advocates believes that Lyme’s
corkscrew-shaped spirochetes have tunneled deep into their victims’ bodies and
can be eradicated only with intensive antibiotic treatment over many months.
Another group believes, just as adamantly, that the bacteria are long gone,
making further treatment with powerful antibiotics—which can lead to potentially
fatal infections or blood clots—positively dangerous.
Now comes
word of two studies in the New England Jour
A. is one of the contagious diseases
B. is spread by a kind of tiny bugs
C. causes infection all over the body
D. develops against any painkillers

Most people think of lions as strictly
African beasts, but only because they’re been killed off almost everywhere else.
Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold
only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies
that split from African lions perhaps 100,000 years ago, hang on to an almost
impossibly small slice of their former territory.
India is the
proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a
560-square-mile sanctuary (保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to
explore the entire Gir Forest--and no time at all to see why these lions became
symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a
lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid--lionhearted. Though they told me
in subtle ways when I got too cl
A. they have descended from a dozen or so ancestors
B. they are smaller than the African lions
C. they do not have enough to eat
D. they are physically weaker than the African lions
