Technical and technological skills will take on greater importance. There will be a growing need for people who can understand and fix systems―from computer systems to product distribution (分配) systems to plumbing (流通) systems.
Visionary skills (想象能力) will be in demand. The ability to gather and absorb a wide range of input,then use that knowledge,understanding,and view to guide organization into future,will be vital.
Numbers and measurement will be important,of course,but smoothing the flow from month to month,from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable longterm performance. Practically every company will have to move away from today's puzzlement with looking ahead only as far as the next financial reporting period.
Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. Everywhere there will be a need to organize something:resources,workflow,marketing mix,financial opportunities,and much more,all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization.
Persuasive skills will be used in many ways by the corporation of the future,the most effective individuals will be those who know how to present information and ideas so that others can understand and support a particular position. Good salesmanship will be essential in many more interactions than we consider today,especially inside the organization.
Communication skills―careful listening,clear writing,close reading,plain speaking,and accurate description―will be invaluable. In tomorrow's fastpaced business environment there will be precious little time to correct any misunderstandings. Communications breakdown may well become a fatal corporate (企業(yè)) disease.
Ability to learn will be above everything else in importance―enabling people to grow in effectiveness and help their companies achieve desired objectives. Some of this skill is innate (天生的) ,but many people improve their ability to learn―and to relate different aspects of learning―through college and university courses. We believe the liberal arts education experience will prove to be the most valuable type of education for tomorrow's leaders.
The top employees of the coming century will be flexible (靈活的) ,creative and motivated toward making a positive difference in the world. They will seek balance,growth and fulfillment in both their work and home environments. The corporation of the future must respond to these needs and desires;otherwise they will find themselves limited by a lack of qualified people to accomplish the organization's work.

Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S. D. ,so coming to class isn't the problem. But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to repair motorcycles.
So Steele,a fulltime senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota state system's online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people," he says. But now,he sets his own schedule.
At least 2. 3 million people took some kinds of online courses in 2004,according to a recent survey by The Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and twothirds of colleges offering " face-to-face" courses also offer online ones. But what were once two distinct types of classes are looking more and more alike and often dipping into the same pool of students.
At some schools,online courses originally intended for nontraditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with oncampus students. A recent study by South Dakota's Board of Regents found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses weren't so distant,they were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.
Numbers vary depending on the policies (政策) of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits. Motives range from lifestyle to offering a job schedule to getting into highdemand courses.
Washington State had about 325 oncampus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and inperson classes at Arizona State last year.
"Business is really about providing options to their customers,and that's really what we want to do," said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator at Black Hills State.
( ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. More and more students prefer to stay at home,chatting on line.
B. Online course is becoming the only way of learning.
C. More and more students prefer classes on line.
D. What does the online course really look like?
( ) 6. The online course in some universities were first arranged for those .
A. who lived on the campus
B. who lived far away from schools
C. who had no money to go to school
D. who were very interested in the computer
( ) 7. The underlined part "two distinct types of classes" (in paragraph 4) probably refers to " ”,
A. face-to-face courses and online courses
B. rich students and poor students
C. colleges and universities
D. students living away and students living nearby
( ) 8. According to the passage,which of the following do you think is NOT true?
A. There are some university students in Washington State taking at least one distance course last year.
B. A recent study shows about two fifths students enrolled in its distanceeducation courses live not so far from campus.
C. Andy Steele,living quite away from his university,has to get up early every morning.
D. Steele,who is a business major,has the online course from the state system.

August 23rd is a blue day for me. When I look back on the day,I can't help feeling depressive.
At 7:00 a.m., the scream from my alarm clock forced me to open my eyes. The room was in gloom. It was raining outside. How comfortable it would be if I could stay in my bed for the whole day,listening to the sound of rain and enjoying laziness. But it was time to get up to prepare breakfast for my husband. He was supposed to attend an important meeting at 8 :00. I spent 5 minutes pushing me into the kitchen. Who knows the terrible day began at this moment.
When I turned on the tap,there was no water out. I was confused. Suddenly,I remembered the hateful notice posted on the building's entrance about a temporary water outage in the morning. I forgot it because of returning late from a birthday party. I searched all the water containers in the kitchen. There was no sufficient water for my husband's clean,least cooking food. It was 7:20. I have no time to waste. I called a friend living in next building for some water. Under her help,my husband finally had gone for the meeting on time. Sighs,I thought that I could go to bed to continue my dream.
In the dark and silent bedroom,I was quickly back in my dream of last night―fighting against a mosquito,which had been buzzing around and I tried unsuccessfully to hit it again and again. The mosquito was so shrewd to escape,but I finally won the fight. All of a sudden,I was waked by furious knocks at my door. I rushed to the door but slipped down and hit the ground heavily. The horrible pain in my right leg and ankle attacked me over all so that I couldn't stand up and move. At this moment,I was shocked by a horrible screen. I was lying in water. All rooms were in water,2 inches deep,like a swimming pool. Hearing the sounds from taps,I realized that I left the taps on when I went to bed. What a stupid mistake!My leg hurt like hell,but I tried to move bit by bit to the door. I opened the door before I was totally exhausted. My neighbor switched off all taps and called the ambulance. In hospital,the X-ray showed that my leg was broken. Tears continuously ran down. I felt painful and lonely. I couldn't reach my husband,for he stopped his cellular phone during the meeting. At supper time,I finally saw him in the hospital. So I prayed along with my husband to end the unlucky day soon.
Every time,I flash back the blue day,I highly appreciate my neighbor who helped me out. So I am convinced that even if you encounter a blue day,you can surely find some spots sparking in your mind.
( ) 1. The writer's room was covered by water because .
A. the water pipe was broken during the night
B. her neighbor broke the water pipe by chance

A. A Helpful Neighbor B. A Blue Day

Once a month the nun marched us to the church,where we would stand in line to say our confession (懺'海) .Bless me,Father,for I have sinned (豸巳罪) ,my last confession was a month ago. These are my sins: "I stole a magazine and I called my younger brother a fucking head."
I thought it a great bargain that a few "Hail Marys" forgave me of my sins. Sometimes the kid ahead of me in line stayed a long time inside the confessional,and I wondered what horrible crimes he had committed. Now we can know what sins others commit,there are Web sites suddenly appear all over the Internet that allow penitents (悔罪者) to publicly confess their sins.
A woman kept her secret for nearly two decades. Finally ready to confess,she turned not to a minister,but to her computer: " I am sorry,God,for not keeping that baby”,her confession reads. "I had kept that secret for over 18 years. I feel so ashamed. Please forgive me!"
The confession appears at ivescrewedup. com,a website launched by the Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City. It's one of a growing number of such sites across the country that offer a place to spill out ugly secrets or just make sins public.
Online confessions are a wonderful thing for a poor soul burdened with guilt,it allows him to clear his conscience without the mediation (調(diào)停,斡旋) of a priest. When a sinner confesses his evil ways to his favorite god,he doesn't receive an email notifying him that his prayer has reached its destination.
But when you post your sins online,they are visible to the whole world,and at the very least you know that others have read your confession.

The speaker,a teacher from a community college,addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students,all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.
My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低) .What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young;he has been teaching for sixteen years,and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.
My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century,it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷) .But since then,English teachers have been under constant attack.
The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves,they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years,they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. .
Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not noticed as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people,it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise,young people would not commit offenses against the language.
( ) 1. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that .
A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation
B. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enough
C. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years
D. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English
( ) 2. In the author's opinion,the speaker .
A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students
B. had exaggerated the language problems of the students
C. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs
D. could think and speak intelligently
( ) 3. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is .
A. neutral B. positive C. critical D. compromising
( ) 4. In the passage the author argues that .
A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students
B. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly
C. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears
D. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

One of the things teachers dread is to have charge of a class dominated by a large,stupid,bullying boy. David Horsey gives such a young rude truly nightmarish (垂夢般的) proportions in today's cartoon:too large to fit in the room.
The teacher in the cartoon is trying to interest her pupils in a violin. There are many ways in which to think about a violin:how it is played,how it makes those sounds,the kind of music that one can play on it,how the violin was crafted,who produced it,the historical origin of the violin,its beauty as an object,attitudes toward violins and violin music,etc. The violin is a perfect tool for stimulating curiosity and imagination,for encouraging experiment,for exciting wonder,for training taste. And such undertakings as these are fundamental to the best Western concept of education,just as important as the mastery of facts. Facts are important,but facts are also dead in themselves. Good education must include giving children experience in using facts to explore the unknown,in groups and on their own,and also to formulate opinions and impressions,and to defend them in debate.
But progress in such matters as imagination,creativity and responsiveness cannot easily be tested,at least not numerically,while success in memorizing facts can be measured in neat ways to satisfy the bureaucrats (官僚) .Now President Bush has promised to improve American primary education,and most observers would agree that it needs improvement. He sides with the people who emphasize the use of tests to guarantee that pupils are reaching certain minimums in math and reading. That is the approach taken in the "No Child Left Behind" Act passed by Congress early in the Bush presidency:forced testing of children and schools,with published results for the schools and punitive (懲罰性的) measures for under performers.
But Horsey sympathizes with teachers who complain that teaching to tests has little to do with true education. Education in fact is easy to organize;education for life―in using all the capacities of one's mind to meet the challenges of life―is an art that bureaucrats,like the class bully,know nothing about and want to hear nothing of.
( ) 5. What does the underlined word " bullying boy" probably mean in the first paragraph?
A. A smart but poor person.
B. A rough and violent person.
C. An honest but hottempered man.
D. An intelligent but talkative one.
( ) 6. The passage is mainly about .
A. how to teach a violin in an effective way
B. what good education is like
C. an argument about a law
D. how to help students pass tests
( ) 7. From the passage we can infer that .
A. some officials don't know much about education
B. creativity and responsiveness can easily be tested
C. the students just need to learn what will be tested
D. the testing can improve American primary education
( ) 8. The writer's opinions are as follows EXCEPT .
A. It's good to take "No child left Behind" Act passed by Congress
B. Education is more than test. In some way,it's a kind of Art
C. We can test the facts but can't test the capacities of the students
D. Teachers should let the students know more than tested facts

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:
We know the effect calories have on your body. For each pound of weight that your body carries,it takes about 12 calories per pound per day to keep it alive. If you weigh 150 pounds,you therefore need about (150 x 12) 1,800 calories per day to keep yourself alive and maintain that same weight.
If you were to eat more than 1,800 calories per day,the surplus turns into fat. It takes about 3 ,600 excess calories to make a pound of fat.
Let's say that you were to eat,on average,2,000 calories per day. That extra 200 calories per day is going to turn into fat. However,you will eventually hit a point of equilibrium (平衡,均衡) because as you gain weight,you need more calories to maintain that weight. So,a person eating an average of 2,000 calories per day will hit equilibrium at (2,000 / 12) 166.67 pounds.So let's say that you eat,on average,2,000 calories per day and reach equilibrium at 166 pounds. Then you go on a crash diet where you eat only 1,000 calories per day for 60 days. You lose 16 pounds and reach your target weight of 150 pounds. But then you go right back to eating 2,000 calories per day again. The graph below shows your eating pattern before,during and after the diet:
Note that the graph assumes that you,like most people,eat a random number of calories per day. Some days you are "good" and eat less,and some days you are "bad" and eat more,but the assumption is that it averages out to 2,000 calories per day over the long run. This graph shows what happens to your weight before,during and after the diet :
The diet really takes the weight off. But the weight comes right back when you return to your "normal" eating pattern. The weight appears to come back so quickly because when you are at your lightest,you tend to gain more weight each day. The lighter you are,the fewer calories you need. If you only need 1,500 calories per day and you're eating 2,000,you're going to gain weight faster than if you need 1 ,800 and you're eating 2,000.There are only two ways to keep the weight off:
Change your overall eating pattern so that you take in,on average,fewer calories than before you went on the diet.
Start exercising so that you "burn" the extra calories you take in.
The best course of action is a combination of these two options.
( ) 5. The problem that the writer tries to deal with is .
A. how to lose weight fast while changing the diet
B. why the weight comes back so quickly once one stops dieting
C. how to reach the point of equilibrium
D. what your target weight is
( ) 6. What can we learn from the two graphs?
A. It is hard to keep one's normal weight.
B. The better way for you to lose weight is keeping your dieting. ,
C. You will gain weight faster than before dieting.
D. It is not necessary for you to lose weight by dieting.
( ) 7. According to the passage,if you weighed 100 pounds and you were to eat on average 1400 calories per day,a year later,you would be .
A. 100 pounds B. 166.67 pounds
C. 116. 67 pounds D. 97 pounds
( ) 8. What is the best way to keep the weight off according to the passage?
A. Keep your diet and never stop.
B. Return your overall eating pattern and exercise more.
C. Take in fewer calories than before your diet and exercise more.
D. Change your diet and start exercising to burn the extra calories.
