　　Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.

　　Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.

　　In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.

　　People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”

　　1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in    1    .

Peter: Sorting is good.    5    If people have no idea how to sort their trash, they will still put all waste in the same bag.

Molly: You are right. People should be informed about how to do that in the first place. Moreover, sorting trash should be made easy for us. Otherwise, few people would bother to do it.

Peter: I hope everything goes smoothly!

Molly: I believe it will.

　　The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty.

　　A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was?   1    to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable.?

　　Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to?   3    .

　　   4    , university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and    5    . As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system?

　　Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

　　Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.

　　“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, ” says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.

　　Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.

　　Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.

　　When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.

　　1. From the passage, we learn that Horta    1    .

　　A. is from Brazil

　　B. conducts his research in the U.S.

　　C. has 30 researchers on his team

　　2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?   2    

　　A. They stayed longer in school

　　B. They were happier

　　C. They were smarter

　　3. Which of the following is TRUE?   3    

　　A. Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding.

　　B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.

　　C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 years

　　4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to    4    .

　　A. finished

　　5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?   5

I. Read the passage and choose the right sub-title (A-D) for each paragraph.

A. The inexactitude of language

B. Preventing misunderstandings

C. Intercultural communication 

D. Fostering respect

E. Avoiding conflicts

Para 1?   1    

　　Intercultural communication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or more different societies. Effective intercultural communication helps firms avoid conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect.

Para 2?   2    

　　The workplace is growing more diverse every day. Managers cannot assume that what they find inoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity can lead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costs firms big money. Intercultural communication involves exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts.

Para 3?   3    

　　We human beings have developed language to communicate ideas to one another. Still, our language represents an imperfect form of communication. Sometimes, words cannot accurately convey an idea, because the information might be highly complex. Also, a concept that exists in one culture or language might not be part of another. Effective intercultural communication tries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possible so that everyone at the workplace finds themselves on the same page.

Para 4?   4    

　　Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between people from different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often become lost in translation. For example, the English expression “to shoulder responsibility” translates into Swedish as “be a man for your hat”. Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions native to a particular language that could lead to confusion; rather, it relies on clear messages that all parties understand.

Para 5?   5    

　　Communication happens differently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptable may be anathema?to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take these differences into account, not only does communication suffer but conflicts come to the fore. Effective intercultural communication does not try to ignore societal differences; rather, it respects the variations among the human race and enables people to transmit information clearly.

　　When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.

　　Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don't know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.

　　But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.

　　The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,

　　Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.

　　Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.

　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?   1    

　　A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.

　　B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.

　　C. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.

　　2. Students pay    2    a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.

　　A. a dollar

　　B. two dollars

　　C. five dollars

　　3. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep    3    out of schools.

　　A. cell phones

　　B. weapons

　　C. drugs

　　4. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means    4    .

　　A. necessary

　　B. tough

　　C. unfair

　　5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?   5    

　　A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.

　　B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.

　　C. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.

6.选择题

　　Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?

　　Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).

　　I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

　　Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!" we draw out from them the required virtue: "When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?"

　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?   1    

　　A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years. 

　　B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

　　C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.

　　2. We can infer from the first paragraph that    2    .

　　A. there tends to be disagreement about what character education is

　　B. most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools

　　C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills

　　3. The word "philosophy" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to    3    .

　　A. study

　　B. subject

　　C. viewpoint?

　　4. The author is a    4    .

　　A. teacher

　　B. librarian

　　C. reporter?

　　5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children?   5    

　　A. Story readings and discussions.

　　B. Osmosis.

Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies

　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.

Project billing for routine issues

　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don't hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.

Results-oriented options

　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.

Multi-layered tasks

　　If you're shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter.

　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner's hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.

　　Legal “Insurance”

　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action.

?

　　1.    1    is the best way to be charged for legal services.

　　A. Results-oriented billing

　　B. Hourly billing

　　C. Flat-fee billing

　　2. A flat-fee approach    2    .
