[不定项选择题]Question 66～70 refer to the following letter and information. APPLE AND CELERY SALAD 100ml mayonnaise 50g chopped fresh cilantro leaves 8 celery stalks 6 crisp red apples Whisk together mayonnaise, cilantro, and lemon juice in a small bowl until combined. Add salt and people to taste. Cut celery and apply into pieces. Toss together celery, apple, and dressing. Total preparation time: 5 minutes. Serves 8 as a side dish. To: Editors of Eat Right Magazine As a long-time subscriber to Eat Right Magazine, I have frequently sampled your recipes and must credit you with some excellent results. Your recent April-May issue was, as always, packed with healthy, delicious meals, many of which I have already prepared at home. Several days ago, however, I attempted to make the apple and celery salad from the recipe on page 57 of the magazine in the Healthy, Quick, and Easy section. While the salad was flavorful, I was not satisfied with the recipe for two reasons. First, it should be noted that a salad containing 100ml of mayonnaise, to be divided among eight servings, is not particularly healthy. I was surprised to find a recipe with so much mayonnaise in an Eat Right recipe. Second, while the directions suggested that five minutes' preparation time was sufficient, I found the time to be underestimated by quite a bit. Finely slicing so much celery and so many apples was quite time consuming and certainly took longer than five minutes. You might adjust this assessment when you publish this recipe in the future. I look forward to receiving the next issue of Eat Right Magazine, and I hope that it will contain more of the simple, nutritious recipes that I have come to expect. Sincerely. Francesca Bertolini What does Ms. Bertolini suggest?
A.Printing an apology in the next issue of the magazine.
B.Omitting mayonnaise from the recipe.
C.Modifying the stated preparation time of the recipe.
D.Verifying ingredients with an editor before publication.

[不定项选择题]Question 51-52refer to the following information. The bad news about a slow-but-steady recovery is clear: lingering long-term unemployment, stagnant wages, and a housing recovery that is leaving many middle-income families behind. But one interesting side-effect of the boring recovery is that it puts to rest （for now） the popular fears of an AI/robot revolution taking all of our jobs. In that brave neo-industrial world, one thing you would expect to see is GDP growth rapidly outstripping employment, as robots did a bunch of work while Americans sat around waiting for federal welfare checks. Quite the opposite, in the last few years, GDP-per-worker has all but stopped growing. What does the word “outstripping “mean?
A.Promoting
B.Exceeding.
C.Improving
D.Technicians.

[不定项选择题]Questions 9~11 refer to the following information. The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray. The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio’s performance frequently too tempting. This means investors are likely to perceive more risk, forgetting about their long term goals. When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets. They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss. However, it's believed that those who look less get more. For instance, if you look at FTSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down. If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%-65% of the time it is going up. And if you look over a five-year period you will find that 90% of the time it goes up. What’s the author’s suggestion to investors?
A.Keep themselves from checking their trading accounts.
B.Pay attention to long-term interests rather than short-term ones.
C.Avoid risks in terms of their investment plans.
D.Stick to one portfolio for at least five years.
