American author Mark Twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful”, and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.

Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the ravages of age. During the 12th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.

But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.

But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a professor of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”

Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.

1.According to the passage, who searched for a fountain of youth_________?

A. Ponce de Leon B. William Shakespeare.

C. Kathleen Deagan D. Michelle Reyna

2.What does the underlined word “ravages” in the second paragraph probably mean_______?

A. Growth B. Limits C. Damages D. Benefits

3.What is the attitude of people towards the fountain of youth________?

A. People find much pleasure in looking for it.

B. People believe the existence of it somewhere.

C. People have no interest in searching for it.

D. People consider the idea of the fountain of youth absurd.

4.The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. how the fountain of youth came into being

B. why some famous people hate becoming old

C. how to remain young forever

D. whether the fountain of youth exists

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage_________?

A. The underlined words “the story” refers to Alexander the Great ruling a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.

B. Augustine, which is the oldest city in the U.S, lies in Florida.

C. Some elderly visitors find themselves younger after drinking the water from the fountain of youth.

D. Kathleen Deagan is the spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.

It's difficult not to become involved in gossip at work. After all, people like gossip and interesting bits of information: you only have to look at the number of celebrity-focused publications to realize that we have a huge appetite for discussing other people's lives. At work, however, this type of interaction is harmful and costly. It wastes time, damages reputations, promotes divisiveness(分歧), creates anxiety.

Rumors often grow because people like to be "in the know." Knowledge is power, and that's why the people with the least amount of power in an organization can often be the ones to start and spread rumors. It can make them feel important if they're seen to know things that others don't.

This knowledge is at the center of why and how rumors start and spread. Insufficient(不足) knowledge or incomplete information are often to blame. Consider these examples:

◆People don't know why a colleague was fired, so they make up a reason based on some limited knowledge or insignificant fact. "I saw John override(推翻) the cash register the other day without a supervisor present. Maybe he stole some money and that's why he went."

◆People see a pattern of behavior between two individuals and they add their own explanation. "Joseph and Samantha spend a lot of time together after hours ‘catching up on paperwork.' And just yesterday, they were sitting awfully close to each other in the meeting. I bet paperwork isn't all that's getting done after work!"

These rumors are typical of the things you'll face at work, and they spread because of a lack of accurate information. So, the best way to fight rumors is with good communication. When you communicate well, your team knows what's happening, and they trust that you'll keep them informed. Good communication within your team also means that you will become aware of any rumors that are starting, and you'll be able to address them quickly and effectively.

1.The huge number of celebrity-focused publications reveals that_______.

A. celebrities depend on publications to achieve fame

B. people like discussing other people’s lives

2.Who is most likely to spread rumors at work?

A. The ones who have a large circle of friends

B. The ones who have quick access to information.

C. The ones who have good knowledge.

D. The ones with the least amount of power.

3.The passage is developed mainly___________.

A. by using time order. B. by making comparisons

C. by giving figures D. by giving examples

4.What is the relationship between Joseph and Samantha in the eyes of the people spreading rumors?

A. They are lovers. B. They are work partners.

C. They are rivals. D. They are old friends.

5. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. How to fight rumors.

B. Why rumors start.
