A
Why are certain people so memorable, while some fade from our memories over time? This question crosses my mind often; there are many possible answers. When you are raising children, you realize that some people become very important to them, draw them in, accept and respect them. These people change them.
Several examples come to mind with my youngest son. He was always more comfortable around his dad’s friends than his own. He loved to spend time with them, fish with them, listen to their stories and just be with them.
He has experienced the loss of several really meaningful friendships over the past few years, and it has been very painful for him. One, Dr. George, was a neighbor and fishing buddy who would call to see if Ken could go fishing with him. Dr. George always said Ken was the son he never had and that it meant everything to him. He died very suddenly while fishing with all of his best buddies a few years ago. The huge hole that left in so many lives simply cannot be filled — for Ken it was immensely painful.
There was another fishing buddy of his dad’s, Frank, who was always fun to be around. Ken was very young then, but he really enjoyed getting along with ＂the guy＂ when they were fishing. Frank and his family went to the Keys in the same week as we did one year ago and the memory remains to this day. Cheerful and happy, he was able to laugh at himself and accept everyone’s abilities or lack of them, all qualities that impressed Ken so much.
When he became deadly ill, Ken drove from his home in North Carolina to Florida for an overnight visit with him. He died a short time later. The day after his funeral (葬礼), Frank came to Ken in a dream and asked if he would take care of his wife, Carol. To Ken this was very meaningful, and today they share a special bond that Frank somehow knew would be important for them both.
1. According to the author, some people are unforgettable to us because of .
A. their great achievements
B. their consideration and kindness
C. good relationships between us
D. successful cooperation between us
2.What can best replace the underlined word ＂buddy＂ in the passage?
A. Friend. B. Neighbor. C. Instructor. D. Guide.
3.Carol is mentioned in the last paragraph to show us that __________.
A. Frank wanted her to marry Ken B. Ken met Frank in a dream
C. Frank regarded Ken as his son D. Ken was a gentleman
4.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. It’s interesting to go fishing with your father’s friends.
B. The friendship between Ken and his father’s friends.
C. Making friends with adults is easier than with your peers.
D. The good relationship among Ken’s families.

Traditionally, it has been the worker's role to work and management's role to manage.
Managers have planned and directed the finds operations with little thought of consulting the labor force. Managers have rarely felt forced to obtain the worker's opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, companies have provided "suggestion boxes" in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor—they have a vital stake (利害关系) in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major company decisions affect workers and their dependants. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management?
Workers should have a role in management. At the very least, the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions. A common complaint among ordinary workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs (失业) , often with no warning. At least 90 days' notice ought to he given in such circumstances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions (妥协) that will help keep the plant operating.
It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policy-making groups. If ordinary workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their spirits will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive (激励), they must be given a share in the company's profits. This can be done through employee stock ownership plans (员工持股计划), bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.
1.What can we learn about managers from Paragraph l?
A. They were not quite qualified.
B. They disliked "suggestion boxes".
C. They never consulted the labor force.
D. They seldom obtained workers' opinions.
2.In recent years, many management specialists have been arguing that workers ________.
A. are not sellers of the products any longer
B. should have a say in management of the company
C. are less affected by company decisions than before
D. are able to make the final decisions for the company
3.According to the passage, what happened between 1980 and 1985?
A. Workers did not make necessary concessions.
B. Many companies were closed because of strikes.
C. Managers consulted workers before closing a plant.
D. About 5 million workers were laid off without advance notice.
4.If they are not given a voice in managerial decision making, workers ________.
A. cannot get a share in the company's profits
B. will not have the opportunity to purchase the plant
C. may lack the incentive to increase their productivity
D. can still get bonuses for efficiency and productivity
