A woman from Japan was telling a friend about her trip to the United States.The woman had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.
“I studied English before I left home，”she said.“But I still was not sure that people were speaking English.”
Her problem is easy to understand.Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere.They have a language of their own.Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work.Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.
One such saying is “get your act together”．
When things go wrong in a business，an employer may get angry.He may shout，“Stop making mistakes.Get your act together.”
Or，if the employer is calmer，he may say，“Let us get our act together.”
Either way，the meaning is the same.Getting your act together is getting organized.In business，it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.
It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began.But，it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry.Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes.The director may have said，“Calm down，now.Get your act together.”
Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s.Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978.The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together.
Now，this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet.One company even called its yearly report，“Getting Our Act Together.”
The Japanese visitor was confused by another expression used by American business people.It is cut to the chase.
She heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one company.One official was giving a very long report.It was not very interesting.In fact，some people at the meeting were falling asleep.
Finally，the president of the company said，“Cut to the chase.”
Cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material.Hurry and get to the good part.
Naturally，this saying was started by people who make movies.Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to see action movies.Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars，or in airplanes or on foot.
Cut is the director’s word for stop.The director means to stop filming，leave out some material，and get to the chase scene now.
So，if your employer tells you to cut to the chase，be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly.
小題1:After the woman visited the United States she might feel that ________.
A．her English was poor
B．it’s easy to master English
C．it’s difficult to make money
D．people there weren’t very friendly
小題2:In which situation could the words “get your act together” be used?
A．A task is completed successfully.
B．Players perform badly in a match.
C．Audience is satisfied with the actor’s performance in a movie.
D．Visitors make a tiresome and unpleasant trip to someplace.
小題3:According to the text，the expression “get one’s act together” ________.
A．was first used by a Japanese businesswoman
B．was forbidden to be used in the government policy
C．originally came from a yearly report of a company
D．was commonly read by readers in a newspaper in 1978
小題4:What do the sayings “get your act together” and “cut to the chase” have in common?
A．Their use.B．Their meaning.
C．Their origin.D．Their popularity.

A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane.       , before we took off, we heard the pilot’s voice throughout the plane, “sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no       on the plane. We have a generator(發(fā)電機), and we are going to        the engines with it. We will        in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens. ”
See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. “Oh, no! We are going to       ！” There were sighs of desperation and       spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn’t even        yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still        there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are       , so we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying       we had walked into grave. But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his        was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and         happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone        for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan        “see what happens”, which really isn’t such a bad life strategy, all too often, I would see people pursuing their goals        with inaction just because they don’t have        success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The       thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what hap­pens.
If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as       as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be        ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no        of guaran­teed success.

“ Yeah！ Auntie is here! “ screamed my husband’s niece and nephew together. “ Let me get the door!” “ No, let me !” Each one’s goal was to get there first and open the door for their Auntie, Me!
I couldn’t get enough of them, of their youthful love of life, and their excitement every time I visited! To be honest, it was partially because of the Surprise Travel Bag that I carried in. It was a tradition that I started when they were young. Each time I went to see them, I would take a large bag filled with toys, coloring books, candy, magic markers and “games”.
The contents(內(nèi)容) were different but the rules were not. They included: one may get a turn to choose what activity we would do; another may take a turn to go first when we played a game; ..... We shared the treats after the games and cleaned up after we played . Then, sadly, they watched the Surprise Travel Bag go away with their Auntie.
Now my niece and nephew have grown into young adults. They spend most of their visits listening to their iPods, messaging on their phones.... I completely forgot that I had put my two Surprise Travel Bags in the basement(地下室) until my husband found them this weekend.
I held the bags tightly in my arms, remembering our laughter and fun-filled get-togethers. My big decision now is to whom I will pass the Surprise Travel Bags so that the fun that the bags help to create can continue.
小題1:When the author came for a visit, the children were _________.
A．uninterestedB．excitedC．boredD．upset
小題2:We learn from the passage that the author would ________.
A．change the contents in the bags
B．change the rules each time she visited
C．choose the activity for the children
D．leave the bag behind for the children
小題3:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ________.
A．sell her Surprise Travel Bags
B．show us how to travel happily
C．share her good memories
D．teach us how to play with children
小題4:Why did the author forget the Surprise Travel Bags?
A．Because she is too old to remember them.
B．Because the children have grown up and have their own interests.
C．Because she has put too many things in the basement.
D．Because she doesn’t like the children any longer.
小題5:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Surprise Travel BagsB．How to Play with Children
C．Travel with My Surprise Travel BagD．My Family Life

Cut off from society

You're on your way to school as usual when suddenly an invisible barrier appears out of nowhere, trapping you underneath it and isolating you from the outside world. What do you do?
This is the scary experience the residents of a fictional town called Chester’s Mill are going through in the US TV series Under the Dome. Based on famous US author Stephen King’s 2009 best-selling novel, the show has become “the highest-rated summer show in 21 years” since debuting (首播) on June 24, reported the New York Post.
The series begins with the dome (穹頂) making its alarming appearance. As the earth trembles and birds take off, an enormous, invisible barrier slices down, cutting the town off from the rest of the world.
The residents quickly realize they are trapped, probably for quite some time. Families are separated, emergency services are unreachable and water, food and fuel are strictly limited.
There is no way out or in. But who or what is responsible? Nobody knows. Thus, the residents are at the mercy of unknown forces and their internal conflicts.
While it provides an enjoyable TV thrill ride, the movie’s science fiction is closely linked with reality.
“Not only is it worrying, suspenseful (懸疑的) and full of splendid special effects, but it has big thoughts about environmentalism and the future of the commented The Denver Post planet,”
As King himself explained to The Telegraph: “The dome is a microcosm (微觀世界) of life. We all live under the dome. We live on this little blue planet and so far as we know that’s all we’ve got,” he said. “The resources that we’ve got are the resources that we’ve got; they’re limited.”
But the show explores many themes in addition to environmental destruction. It also shows “how quickly the social order we take for granted can disappear when people are isolated and afraid”, said the Los Angeles Times.
It is “a science-fiction social study”, said The Washington Post. “Once the people of Chester’s Mill realize they are indefinitely trapped without means of food supply, outside communication and power, their polite sense of small-town, American civilization begins to fall apart.”
小題1:The underlined word “isolating” in the first paragraph probably means _______.
A．separatingB．protecting
C．discouragingD．distinguishing
小題2:In the TV series Under the Dome, _______.
A．the dome, which appears out of nowhere, doesn’t have huge effects on the residents’ lives
B．it takes a long time for residents to realize they are trapped by the invisible dome
C．because of the dome, the residents in the small town become more united and helpful D．not knowing what has D．happened, the residents feel helpless against unknown forces
小題3:Why is the TV series closely linked with reality according to the article?
A．Because it is suspenseful and uses splendid special effects to reflect modern life.
B．Because it gets us to think about the future of the earth and the importance of environmental protection.
C．Because it attaches great importance to following the social order even in frightening situations.
D．Because the residents in the TV series live almost the same life as ordinary Americans do.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十幾歲) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
小題1:What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A．Staying on the farm B．Moving to the countryside
C．Leaving home for the cityD．Running away from the school
小題2:Which of the following is true about the writer?
A．He is very old now.B．He is in good health.
C．He prefers driving a car.D．He lives in the city now.
小題3:In the passage, the writer tries to _______.
A．express his opinions about way of life
B．describe his life in the countryside
C．show an interest in the outside world
D．persuade the reader to live in the city
小題4:How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By inferringB．By comparing
C．By listing examplesD．By giving explanations

Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity(生產(chǎn)力) per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
Longer hours do of course increase the GDP(國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趨勢）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
小題1:Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
A．Spain.B．France.C．Germany.D．America.
小題2:What message can we get from the text?
A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
D．Americans are happier than Europeans.
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Americans and Europeans
B．Staying at Home
C．Work and Productivity
D．Work and Happiness

It is a wonderful morning，as I write this：hot，but without being too hot. Outside my window，I can see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water. It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer’s temporary nature —a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday，time is running out .
It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it. You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music.  What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?
So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holidy too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun. Somehow, packing a carefully itemized list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it.
Thankfully, I am not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey highlighted the downside(負面）of holidays, with the results shoeing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year's the Idler magazine published its book of awful holidays .Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically--damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website. Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life. The leisure(休閑）industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book's editor, says that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays.
小題1:According to the first paragraph We can know that the writer        .
A． has a strong desire to book a holiday
B． wishes that the weather would change
C． finds it is too late to enjoy the sunshine
D． realizes it’s time to decide whether to go on a holiday
小題2:What can be inferred from the sentence underlined in the passage?
A． people may find the man unbelievable
B． People think traveling is not so easy an act as drinking tea
C．The writer often regrets not taking a holiday．
D． The writer doesn't like drinking tea or listening to music
小題3:The reason why the writer dislikes going on holidays is that      .
A． it usually takes too much time
B． he is tired of making preparations too much for holidays
C． it is far less enjoyable than breaks planned in advance
D． he feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn't
小題4:We can learn from the survey that a lot of people         .
A． pretend to enjoy their holiday
B． fail to relax while they are on holiday
C． feel that the benefits of going on holidays are limited
D． have made the some decision as the writer and most of his friends
小題5:The writer takes the book of Awful Holidays as an example to             .
A． damage the reputation of the magazine
B．prove his idea to be more popular than expected
C． indicate that his dislike of holidays is widely shared
D． foucs entirely on bad personal experiences of holidays

The adderis the only poisonous snake nativeto Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common smake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British sanke with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high gournd. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows tha tall snakes can bite, but only te bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move  very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon severa things, one of which is the boidy-wight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some pepe very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
小題1:What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?
A．Found outB．Heard fromC．Stepped on.D．Robbed of.
小題2:Where are adders to be found?
A．In fertile fields in Scotland.
B．On wild land throughout Britain.
C．In many parts of Britain and Ireland.
D．Everywhere in Britian except Scotland
小題3:What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?
A．Catch the biting adder at onece.
B．Don’t worry about the bitten person.
C．Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself.
D．Operate on the person as soon as possible.
