题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Here are six questions about your approach to life. Try to answer them as honestly as you can.
Are you hard driving and competitive?
Are you usually pressed for time?
Do you want to control others?
Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?
Do you eat too quickly?
Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?
If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, then I can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.
You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the same time. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded, you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.
And there’s one other thing. You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing approach to life.
The beginnings of your hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. Some of those you work with don’t seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake on what you’re trying to achieve. The conflict may not take place every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it’s always there, under the surface.
71. Which of the following people probably have the hard-driving character?
A. People who want to control others and have a strong need to do better than others.
B. People who usually think of others and get along well with others.
C. People who don’t seem able to understand the simplest ideas.
D. People who don’t care about their appearance and the results of their jobs.
72. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that this hard-driving character ____.
A. has been developed since childhood
B. may be changed by your experiences
C. will place no influence on your work
D. will cause you more conflicts
73. Which of the following words is NOT proper to describe this type of people?
A: Competitive. B. Nervous.
C. Easygoing. D. Ambitious.
74. What does the author mean by the last sentence of the passage?
A. The lid will always remain in place.
B. The conflict may occur any moment.
C. The situation is always under your control.
D. You are able to solve the problem.
75. We can infer from the passage that hard-driving character ____.
A. does good to your health
B. helps you fit in with the new situation quickly
C. gets you more prizes
D. contributes a lot to your career success

M：Well, it depends．If you come for a private instructor like me, it’s probably going to be a bit less expensive than going to a big school．The thing is, people have usually heard of the big school and trust them．Well, I get customers through personal connections．
W：Does that mean you have to try harder to get customers??
M：Not now, when I started I have to．But at the moment I am fully booked and my prices are quite competitive．
W：Learning to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners．What do you think?
M：Well, it can be．But I try to get them to sit quietly in the drive’s seat for a few moments．With their eyes closed, you will be surprised how it changed some people．They fell much more ready for driving if they had a few quiet moments．
W：Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others．
