COLUMBIA
City, Indiana------For
Robin Smith, the hard plastics company where she works has become a worker’s
paradise since the work week was cut from 40 to 30 hours last May with no pay
cut.
“I love it. I like spending more
time with my family and less time at work and getting paid for it,” said the
mother of three.
Hard Plastics is part of a growing
number of US companies that are experimenting with the so-called “30/40” plan to replace the 40-hour working
week.
Unlike in Europe,
where cutting the working week is seen as a way to reduce unemployment, US companies
see the 30/40 program mainly as a tool to increase productivity.
At the Hard Plastics plant, some
150 women employees work 6-hour daily for a 30-hour working week. And if they
show up every day on time, they receive a 10-hour bonus for the week.
“But if you’re even one minute
late, sorry Charlie, no bonus,” said Ronald Ronald
Richey, the company’s president.
“We’re in a very low unemployment
market here, 2.5 percent for the town―Whitley,” said Ronald Richey. “The idea
was to draw more quality applicants.”
With 30/40, the company, which
employs 325 people at two plants in Indiana
and has yearly sales of US $30 million, has greatly broadened its applicant
pool. Some 40 people apply every week, among them many with long years of work
experience or even college degrees.
The idea was first put forward by
industrial psychologist(心理學(xué)家)
Ron Healey. He said more and more companies were expressing interest in his
program and were even testing it.
41.

has the right to work 30 hours a week.

Visiting a pub is one of Britain’s
oldest forms of entertainment. The idea for the first public houses was brought
to Britain
thousands of years ago by the conquering Roman army. The first pubs served only
wine, but after the discovery of hops(啤酒花)
in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer, as they do today.
Today, there are 61,000 pubs in
the United Kingdom.
One of the oldest, Fighting Cocks in St. Albans,
Herts, is located in a building that dates back to
the 11th century. Modern pubs are often owned by English breweries
and serve only their owner’s products. British pubs are required to have a
license, which is difficult to obtain, and operate between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. every day except Sunday, when
they must close at 10:30 p.m.
The drinking age in Britain
is eighteen, but fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order
a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 p.m., which lets families enjoy reasonably
priced pub meals together, and allows pubs to continue in their traditional
roles as community centers.
Customs in British pubs differ
from those in American bars. In Britain,
you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchase
immediately, there is no table service. Bartenders are called “l(fā)andlords” and “barmaids”
and they do not expect frequent tipping. To tip a landlord or barmaid, it is
customary to tell him to “buy himself one”. He or she may or may not take you
up on your offer. At the end of a visit, a polite customer will return his
glass to the bar.
45. Which
of the following is not allowed in Britain?
A. Children under 14 entering a
pub with their parents
B. Young men over 14 eating in a
pub by themselves.
C. Children of about 15 drinking
in a pub with adults.
D. Young men at or older than 18
drinking beer in a pub.
46. What
can we entertain ourselves with at Fighting Cocks today?
A. 1000-year-old hops.
B. Mainly beer.
C. Italian food. D. Just wine
47. We
can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A. British pubs and American bars
are completely different
B. services in British pubs are
better than those in American bars
C. in American bars you can pay
the bill after the meal
D. tip is necessary in both
British pubs and American bars
48. This
passage is mainly written to _______.
A. give us some information about
British pubs
B. compare the British pubs and
American bars
C. tell us something about the
history of British pubs
D. let us know some rules in
British pubs

From the moment that an animal is
born it has to make decisions . It has to decide which of the things around it
are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run
away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its
environment , a game in which it must make decision---a matter of life or death
.
Animals' ability to act reasonably
is believed to come partly from what we may call "genetic (遺傳性的)learning" , which is different from the
individual (個(gè)體的) learning that an animal does in
the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species ---animals
of the same kind---as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those
members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However , the
role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to
the past . The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less
important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the
survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing evironments
from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few
species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .
In the
great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new
environment are a compound (復(fù)合體)
of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with
.That is why animals can survive .
49．The animal's life will come to an end_____________.
.
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if
the animal plays a dangerous game
C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when
the animal runs too slowly
50．Very few species depend entirely on genetic
learning because____________.
.
A．each generation has its own way of learning
B．their environments change all the time
C．they can act reasonably on their own
D．it takes their whole life to learn
51．When the environment doesn't change much , _____________. .
A．a(chǎn)nimals cannot act in a right way
B．genetic learning is less important for
animals
C．individual learning plays a less important
role
D．a(chǎn)nimals cannot get over problems on their on
their own
52．Animals' living on generation after
generation depends on _____________.
.
A．their natural action pattern with their own
experience
B．the lessons they have learnt during their
lifetime
C．their experience in particular environments
D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

Londoners are great readers. They
buy huge numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books----- especially
paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever increasing
rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper”books,
too, printed on good papers and bound(裝訂) between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops
which specialize in book selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road
in the very heart of London.
Here books of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the well-known big
bookshop to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over
from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain , any kind of
books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in
foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the various
subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes
only in archaeology!
Although it may be the most
convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.
For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the
beaten track, to Farringdon Road,
for example, in the east central district of London. Here there is nothing so
grand as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip
out their packs of books onto small handcarts(手推車) which line the streets. And the collectors, some professional and some
amateur, who have been waiting for them, rush for the dusty cascades(一疊疊圖書). In places like this one can still,
occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many
pounds.
53. “Londoners are great readers” mean that ________.
A. Londoners are great because they read a
lot
B. there are a great number of readers in London
C. Londoners are readers who read only great
books
D. Londoners read a lot
54. Charring Cross Road
__________.
A. is in the suburbs of London B.
is famous for its bookshops

shops D. is the
busiest street in London
55. The booksellers on Farringdon
Road ________.
A. keep fine
bookshops
B. keep only small bookshops
C. sell books on
handcarts
D. sell books very expensive
56. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Bookshops in London
B. The Biggest Bookshop in the World
C. Charring Cross Road

When you are advised to “get an education” if
you want to raise your income, you are only
told half
the truth. What you should be told is to get just enough education to provide
manpower for your society, but not too much education that would prove an
embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least.
Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be
George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully drop out in
grade school.
Get a college degree, if possible. With a
BA, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the
brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it’s an MBA, and only from a
first-rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns(報(bào)酬遞減規(guī)律性) begins to take effect. Do you know, for
instance, that heavy truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes,
the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24,000, while the full
professor managed to average just $23,930.
A Ph.D is the
highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as
physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or
commercial purposes, you are facing a dark future. There are more Ph.D unemployed or underemployed in this country than in
any other part of the world by far.
If you become a doctor of Philosophy in
English or History or Anthropology or Political Science or language or worst of
all-in Philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national
demands.
Thousands of Ph.Ds
are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless
applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school
or backwater(死氣沉沉) college that pays much less than
the janitor(門衛(wèi)) earns.
Income and education are closely related.
Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not
so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
57. According to the
writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who
__________.
A. will become loyal citizens to a
nation
B. can always take good care of
themselves
C. will not be a shame to society or
their families
D. can meet the demands as a source of
manpower
58. If you are as
gifted as Bernard Shaw or Edison _______________.
A. you can get a high school diploma
without difficulty
B. you can be professionally successful
without a diploma
C. the least you should do is to get a
diploma
D. you will be successful in grade
school
59. Many Ph.D are out of work because_____________.
A. they are of little commercial to the
society
B. they prefer easy jobs with more money
C. there are fewer jobs in high schools
D. they are wrongly educated
60. According to the
passage, which of the following is Not
true?
A. The higher your education level is,
the more money you’ll earn.
B. If you are too well-educated, you may
make things difficult for the society.
C. One must think carefully before going
for a master’s degree.
D. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high
school, nor did Edison.
