    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman．A man goes shopping because he needs something．His purpose is settled and decided in advance．He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration．All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want．If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once．All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction．

    　　For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn't have what he wants．In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else．He offers the nearest he can to the article required．No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill：“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned．” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is． “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on．”

    　　Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way．Her shopping is not often based on need．She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round” ．She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her．She will try on any number of things．Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her．Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes．They are always on the look－out for the unexpected bargain．Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on．It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one．Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands．

    　　At present, Specialization has become an increasing important factor in a great many careers．You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching．But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field．There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments．We can call these people “ generalists ”．And these “ generalists ” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people ' s work, to begin it and judge it．

    　　The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools．He is a “ trained ” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional．The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving．He is an “ educated ” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation．Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator．And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field．Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions．It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly．

    　　Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident．Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job．At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee．

    (1)

    There is an increasing demand for ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    all round people in their own fields

    B．

    people whose job is to organize other people ' s work

    C．

    people whose educational background is either technical or professional

    D．

    specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others

    (2)

    The specialist is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    a man whose job is to train other people

    B．

    a man who has been trained in more than one field

    C．

    a man who can see the forest rather than the trees

    D．

    a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters

    (3)

    The administrator is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    a “trained ” man who is more a specialist than a generalist

    B．

    a man who sees the trees as well as the forest

    C．

    a man who is very strong in the humanities

    D．

    a man who is an “ educated ” specialist

    (4)

    During your training period, it is important ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    to try to be a generalist

    B．

    to choose a profitable job

    C．

    to find an organization which fits you

    D．

    to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist

    (5)

    A man ' s first job ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    is never the right job for him

    B．

    should not be regarded as his final job

    C．

    should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job

    D．

    is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job

    　　　 While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage．

    　　　 The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified．That left only one to complete．It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important．

    　　　 I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．

    　　　 I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．

    　　　 But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed．

    　　　 No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did．

    　　　 A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have．Even though he was recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．

    　　　 Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．

    　　　 In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog．

    51. From the passage we can learn that the young man ________．

    　　　 A. made his turn to start back pitifully　　　　　　　

    B. was skillful in freestyle in the game

    　　　 C. swam faster than the average swimmer　　　　

    D. was not capable enough to win the medal

    52. The crowd changed their attitudes because ________．

    　　　 A. they felt sorry for the young man　　　　　　　　　

    B. they were moved by the young man

    　　　 C. they wanted to show their sympathy　　　　　　

    D. they meant to please the young man

    53. According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______．

    　　　 A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills

    　　　 B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself

    　　　 C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors

    　　　 D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals

    54. What’s the best title for the passage?

    　　　 A. Compete for Gold!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

    B. Try again!

    　　　 C. Break a Record!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

    D. Go for it!
