    8．As the labor market becomes more attractive，more companies are sending their employees to school．Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees-which for decades has been a part of many business'benefits packages-as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent．And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed，many see it as a positive-although gradual-movement．
    "For workers，it gives them a better opportunity for development，"says Colleen Flaherty Manchester，a professor．"For firms，they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over，and thus have a higher level of retention（保留）．"
    In all，56percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52percent offer graduate assistance．
    Largely driving the trend are Millennials，who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing．Nearly 60percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises．Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace．They recognize that they need more experience，more knowledge，more mentoring to be successful．And they're asking for it．
    Of more than 140，000Starbucks employees，only about 4，000have signed up for the company's College Achievement Plan．What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies'retention and turnover rates remain unclear．But，the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses．We're going to see a lot more of this in the future．
    32．Using tuition assistance for employeesC．
    A．has attracted a large number of talents
    B．is a trend that formed recently
    C．has existed for scores of years
    D．is well received by employees
    33．What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said？B
    A．It is merely beneficial to employees
    B．It is a win-win event for employees and employers．
    C．Valuing education has become a trend for all companies．
    D．It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees．
    34．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to？C
    A．Regular pay raises．
    B．More chances to be successful
    C．Educational support
    D．Professional-development potential
    35．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs？B
    A．The programs can guarantee the employees a good job．
    B．The impact of the programs remains to be estimated．

    Hi Maz and Bobby,

    I don't know what you're up to this Sunday, but if you're at a loose end, come over to my place. We're going to have a barbecue.

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks mate, but I'm completely snowed under at the moment. I have to write an essay by Monday afternoon, so I'll be working all weekend. I've got nothing arranged for the following weekend though, so maybe we can meet then? I'll call you later.

    Bobby

    Dear Tom,

    Like Bobby, I'm a bit tied up tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have to go to my great uncle's house for a family lunch. He was ill so we thought it might not happen, but it looks as if it's going ahead. I really can't get out of it because it's the old man's 60th birthday and most of the family will probably be there.

    Maz

    Ok you guys,

    I'm calling off the barbecue. Judging from the grey sky, it's going to rain all weekend anyway. Maybe you'll have done your various duties by the end of the evening and we can go for a drink instead! If you want to relax, I'll be in The Hart, a pub on King Street. Gloria and I are meeting there at about 8:30, as long as nothing else pops up! Don't forget it closes at 10:30 on Sundays.

    Ok, time to put my feet up and take it easy!

    Later,

    Tom

    It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

    The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

    I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

    People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

    1.Why was the bike so important to the couple?

    A. The man’s job was bike racing.

    B. It was their only possession.

    C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

    D. They used it for work and daily life.

    2.We can infer from the text that ____________.

    A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.

    B. people were busy before Christmas

    C. the stranger brought over the bike

    D. life was hard for the young family.

    3.What do the couple learn from their experience?

    A. Strangers are usually of little help.

    B. One should take care of their bike.

    C. News reports make people famous.

    D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.

    4.Which one do you think is NOT TRUE according to the text?

    A. The couple will never steal bikes in revenge.

    B. The couple will try their best to help others in trouble.

    C. Trevor bought a new Kona immediately after someone stole his old one.

    D. The couple got some help from several people in their area.

    As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take “ direct action”, even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies(财政补贴),which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents.

    Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU(European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.

    Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition government are in disagreement over what it should say.

    We have some advice for the two parties :publish the report ,and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.

    The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an “acceptable” report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved ,all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.

    1.We call learn from the first paragraph that________.

    A. energy policy catches much attention of the public

    B. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms

    C. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies

    D. the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents

    2.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_____.

    A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based power

    B. guarantees an increase in energy output

    C. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear Dower

    D. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.

    A. an official report will settle the energy problem

    B. the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms

    C. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation

    D. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts

    4.Which of the following reflects the author’s opinion?

    A. Increase political impact on energy policy.

    B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.

    C. Let the nation judge the facts about wind power.

    D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions.

    14．Scientists have found we are more likely to die on our birthday than any other day．Researchers who studied more than two million people over 40years found a rise in deaths from heart attacks，strokes（中风），falls and suicides（自杀）and others on that day．
    On average，people over the age of 60were 14per cent more likely to die on their birthdays．Heart attacks rose 18.6per cent on birthdays and were higher for men and women while strokes were up 21.5per cent-mostly in women．
    Dr Vladeta Ajdacic of the University of Zurich said："Birthdays end dangerously more frequently than might be expected．"He added that risk of birthday death rose as people got older．
    Canadian data also showed that strokes were more likely on birthdays，especially among patients with high blood pressure．
    There was a 34.9per cent rise in suicides，28.5per cent rise in accidental deaths not related to cars，and a 44per cent rise in deaths from falls on birthdays．
    Psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman，from the University of Hertfordshire，said，"It seems to be a reliable finding．There are two cases-one is the case that suggests you eat too much and your getting over excited and that causes you to die．"He said continuously，"The other is a placebo effect（安慰剂效应）．You are knife-edged on death．And you kept yourself going until your birthday．You think‘That's it．I've had enough．I'm out of here．'"
    Dr Lewis Halsey，of the University of Roehampton，said，"One interesting finding is that more suicides happen on birthdays，though only in men．Perhaps men are more likely to make a statement about their unhappiness when they think people will be taking more notice of them．"

    59．Which sentence can properly be put at the beginning of the passage？D

    15．There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise．Some people believe that they can't help putting on weight as they get older，while others hold that if they stop exercising，their muscles will turn into fat．Here are some more myths：
    I'll never lose weight---I come from a fat family
    Wrong!While we can't change the body type we are born with，we can't blame our genes for making us fat．There's plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families，and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little．
    I am fat because I burn calories slowly
    Wrong!Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism（新陈代谢）．If fact，although fat people consume more energy that slim people，they also fail to realize how much they eat!Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately．
    Exercise is boring
    Wrong!Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively．The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive．If you enjoy a Sunday walk，take a different route．If you do Yoga，try a tai chi class．If you like swimming，set a distance or time challenge．
    No pain，no gain．
    Wrong!Exercise is not meant to hurt．Indeed，pain is your body telling you something's wrong，and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury．You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly，but when your body adapts to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly．If you don't，rest and seek medical advice．

    24．What does the author think about being fat？C
    A．It is the family genes that make people fat．
    B．People are fat because they consume too little energy．
    C．It is the consequence of people's unbalanced lifestyle．
    D．A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat．
    25．According to the author，how can we make exercise more interesting？A
    A．By taking varied exercise．
    B．By choosing simple exercise．
    C．By doing regular exercise．
    D．By sticking to outdoor exercise．
    26．What is the author's opinion about"No pain，no gain"in exercising？A
    A．Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt．
    B．Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience．
    C．Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal．
    D．Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body．
    27．What is the purpose of the passage？D
    A．To argue the importance of keeping fit．
    B．To prove some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise．
    C．To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit．
    D．To inform readers of some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise．
