          My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming
    essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name
    down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for
    guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn't drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train,
    and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been
    doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I'd be a
    subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I'd be
    overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges-those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
         The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have
    done all right because after about half an hour's wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled
    forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater
    or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews
    were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
         I can remember the questions now: "Why did you leave your last job?" "Why did you leave your job
    before that?" "And the one before that?" I can't recall my answers, except that they were short at first
    and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which
    helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. "You've
    failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position."
         Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually,
    such jobs - being a postman is another one I still desire - demand exactly the sort of elementary yet
    responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full
    self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
    1.The writer applied for the job chiefly because ________.
    A. he wanted to work in the centre of London    
    B. he could no longer afford to live without one
    C. he was not interested in any other available job  
    D. he had received some suitable training
    2. The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because ________.
    A. he often traveled underground
    B. he had written many poems
    C. he could deal with difficult situations
    D. he had worked in a compa
    3. The length of his interview meant that _________.
    A. he was not going to be offered the job      
    B. he had not done well in the intelligence test
    C. he did not like the interviewer at all        
    D. he had little work experience to talk about
    4. What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
    A. How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be.
    B. How difficult it is to be a poet.
    C. How unsuitable he was for the job.
    D. How badly he did in the interview.
    5. What's the writer's opinion of the psychologist?
    A. He was very aggressive(有进取心的).
    B. He was unhappy with his job.
    C. He was quite inefficient.
    D. He was rather unsympathetic.

         Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the
    20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many
    others by the "Great American Dream." However, he experienced severe financial hardship when
    his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
         Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system,
    with its aggressive (有进取心的) way of doing business and its insistence on money and social
    status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into
    trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for
    sentiment (多愁善感): if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner
    Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his
    lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
         When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won
    the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics` Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize
    for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
         Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February
    10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
    1. Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?
    A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
    B. He was attracted by the "Great American Dream".
    C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
    D. His family business failed.
    2. The play Death of a Salesman_________________.
    A. exposes the cruelty of the American business world
    B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
    C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
    D. focuses on the skills in doing business
    3. What can we learn about Willy Loman?
    A. He treats his employer badly.          
    B. He runs the Wagner Company.
    C. He is a victim of the American system.
    D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
    4. After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman_____________. ks5u
    A. achieved huge success            
    B. won the first Tony Award
    C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen  
    D. was severely attacked by dramatists
    5. What is the text mainly about?
    A. Arthur Miller and his family.            
    B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
    C. The hardship Arthur Miller experienced  
    D. Arthur Miller and his best-known play.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to a study in Germany.
    【小题1】
    Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive.
    【小题2】On the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence.
    The study, by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster, was reported in New Scientist magazine. They showed video recordings of taekwondo(跆拳道) matches to 42 experienced referees(裁判). One fighter wore blue and the other wore red.
    They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated(操纵) the clothing to exchange the colors. 【小题3】
    “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “【小题4】”
    In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, tawkwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55 percent of which were won by the competitor in red.
    “【小题5】” said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.
    It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy, danger, strength, power, and determination.
    The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they wore blue.
    C. The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, sell successfully.
    D. It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasn’t yet been tested.
    E. Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.
    F. The findings could explain why Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful.
    G. But the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip the scale
