PART 4
Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the letter next to the correct answer —A, B, C or D —on your answer sheet.
The shoemaker
Bill Bird is a shoemaker who cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of customers — and he charges more than ￡300 for a pair! Customers travel hundreds of kilometres to his London shoe clinic or to his workshop in the countryside to have their feet measured. He makes shoes for people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very narrow. The shoes are at least as fashionable as those found in ordinary shops.
Mr Bird says: 'My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers. Young people all seem to prefer to work with computers these days. We will lose the necessary skills soon because there are fewer and fewer shoemakers nowadays. I am 45, and now I want to teach young people everything I know about making shoes. It's a good job, and a lot of people want to buy beautiful shoes specially made for them.'
He started in the business 19 years ago and now he employs three other people. His customers pay about ￡500 for their first pair of shoes. He says: 'Our customers come because they want comfortable shoes which are exactly the right size.' Extra pairs of shoes cost between￡320 and ￡450, as it takes one employee a whole week to make just one shoe.
What is the writer trying to de in the text？
A．describe where Mr Bird finds his staff
B．encourage people to wear comfortable shoes
C．advertise a job selling expensive shoes
D．show Mr Bird's worries about his trade
At this moment, that point of view may seem too optimistic. Last Friday, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives had hoped to produce a finished bill. But they failed, because the party' s fiscal conservatives demanded further savings. House Democrats are also divided on revenue-raising measures.
The Senate is dealing with the same problems: how to contain the cost of expanded insurance coverage, and how to pay for what remains, so that the reform. adds nothing to the budget deficit over the course of 10 years.
Where does the money come from remains the crucial problem. Apparently, the answer is straightforward: tax employer-provided health benefits. At present, an employer in the U. S. is free from paying tax if he pays the health insurance while an individual purchaser has to buy it with after-tax dollars. This anomaly costs nearly $ 250bn a year in revenue—enough to pay for universal coverage, and then some. Yet many Democrats in both the House and the Senate oppose to ending it. Will there be a breakthrough in terms of that aspect？
However, to get employers out of health insurance should be an aim, not something to be feared. Many US workers have complained that if they lose their job, their health insurance will go with it and tying insurance to employment will undoubtedly worsen the insecurity.
What about high-risk workers who are thrown on to the individual market？ If the tax break were abolished as part of a larger reform. which obliges insurers to offer affordable coverage to all people regardless of pre-existing conditions, it will not be a problem. It' s true this change needs to increase tax, and many people in Congress are reluctant to contemplate in any form. But some kind of increase is inescapable. This one makes more sense than most.
The president should say so. His Republican opponent John McCain called for this change during the election campaign and Mr Obama and other Democrats assailed the idea. So what？ Mr. Obama has changed his ideas on other aspects of health reform. For example, it seems that he now prefer an individual mandate to buy insurance. Let us see a similar flexibility on taxing employer-provided insurance.
According to the author, ________.
A．the politics of U. S. health reform. is a total failure
B．there is no possibility of passing a bill
C．it' s difficult to pass a bill
D．U. S. will achieve universal health insurance
根据短文，回答16~20题With a new Congress drawing near。Democrats and Republicans are busily designing competing economic stimulus packages．The Republicans are sure to offer tax cuts。the Democrats～among other things— financial relief for the states．There is one measure，however，that would provide not only an immedlate boost to the economy but also immediate relief to those most in need：a carefully crafted extension of the federal unemployment insurance program．The Senate approved such an extension before it adjourned in November． The House of Representatives refused to go along．It was among the greatest failures of the l07th Congress． One consequence is that jobless benefits for an estimated 780000 Americans will abruptly stop tomorrow， even though most recipients have not yet exhausted their benefits．President Bush failed to show any leader— ship on this matter during the November Congress．Later，he finally asked Congress to extend the program for these workers and to make the benefits effective from Dec．28． That’s not enough．The way unemployment insurance typically works is that states provide laid-off workers with 26 weeks of benefits，followed by l3 weeks of federal aid Under Mr Bush’s scheme．federal benefits would be extended only for those who were already receiving them on Dec．28．The extension would not cover the jobless workers who will exhaust their regular state-funded benefits after Dec．28一an estimated 95000 every week——but will receive no federal help unless the program is re-authorized．By the end of March。1．2 million workers could fallinto this category． The Senate saw this problem comin9，and under the leadership of Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Don Nickles of Oklahoma，passed abill that would not only have covered people already enrolled in the federal program but provided l3 weeks of assistance for those losingtheir state benefits in the new year．The House，for largely trivial reasons，refused to go along． Bill Frist，the new Senate majority leader，says he is looking for ways to put a kinder，gentler face on the Republican Party．Passing the Clinton-Nickles bill would be a good way to begin．The House should then follow suit．One of the House’s complaints last year was that，at$5 billion，the Clinton-Nickles bill was too expensive．That’s ridiculous，considering the costs of the tax cuts that House Republicans have in mind． The unemployment rate last month stood at 6 percent，the highest since mid-1994．The country could use a$5 billion shot in the arm right about now．So could a lot of increasingly desperate people． According to the author，the proposed extension is——． [A]what the coming Congress should reconsider[B]excluded from the economic stimulus packages[C]a relief program carefully designed by the House [D]put forward by both Republicans and Democrats
West Nile virus arrived in America in 1999 and made it to California three years later. Since then it is known to have infected 2,300 people in the state, of whom 76 have died. In Orange County this is the worst summer yet. By this point last year officials there had discovered nine birds that had been killed by West Nile virus and not one infected mosquito. So far this year they have found 219 infected birds and 75 infected mosquitoes.
Some of this rise is due to better testing and co-operation with the animal services department, which receives most reports of dying birds. But a much bigger cause is the housing crunch. Fully 63,000 homes were foreclosed in California between April and June, according to DataQuick, a property data services outfit. In the past year the number of Orange County homeowners who have defaulted on their mortgages has more than doubled. Empty houses mean untended pools. Untended pools quickly breed mosquitoes.
Dead birds are also piling up in neighbouring counties like Los Angeles, San Diego and San Bernardino, which also have high foreclosure rates. Last week 170 infected mosquitoes were discovered in the state as a whole-the highest tally ever. So far this year i3 human infections have been reported in California, but the numbers are expected to grow rapidly as the summer moves on. John Rusmisel, president-elect of the board responsible for killing the critters, says a peak in infected mosquitoes is generally followed, two or three weeks later, by a peak in human cases.
In theory, owners are supposed to keep their properties in decent shape whether they live there or not. California has even passed a bill fining banks and mortgage companies that seize properties and then allow pools to fester. But Mr Bobbitt isn't waiting for the lawyers. He has treated the pool in Santa Ana with oil and synthetic growth hormones, which will keep the mosquitoes adolescent, preventing breeding. Then he tips in a few dozen mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis), which begin happily launching larvae. You can buy a lot of the fish for what a lawyer charges per hour, and some authorities, with commendable creativity, even provide them free to help control the pests.
According to the text, what is the main reason of quick breed of mosquitoes？
A．House crunch.
B．Inadequate caring of the houses.
C．Warm and humid weather.
D．More reports of dying birds occur in California.
A.don’t always forget other's names
B.don’t hear others’names
C.never forget others’names
D.have the worst memory
Mr Mintzberg finds fault with the emphasis that many MBA programs place on frenetic case studies which encourage students to come up with rapid answers based on meagre data. But more than that, he criticizes them for their concentration on dry analysis. Such courses, he says, enable their graduates to "speak convincingly in a group of 40 to 90 people", and make them believe they can leapfrog over experience. That, though, is not the sum total of what is required to manage a complex commercial organization.
Synthesis, not analysis, argues Mr Mintzberg, "is the very essence of management". On several occasions he cites Robert McNamara, once president of the Ford Motor Company and a United States secretary of defense in the 1960s, as the archetypal MBA, a man who thought that even in Vietnam "generic analysis could substitute for situational knowledge". More recently, the qualification has been thrown into deeper disrepute by the heavy dependence of companies such as Enron on MBA recruits. Its former chief executive Jeffrey Skilling, currently awaiting trial on 36 charges of fraud and insider trading, liked to boast that he came in the top 5% of his MBA class at the Harvard Business School.
And yet, if the MBA is so bad at teaching management, how come America has far more successful businesses than Europe and Japan, areas of the world that are significantly less enthusiastic about such methods of learning？ Leaving aside the unprovable rejoinder that American firms would have done even better without the MBA, Mr Mintzberg argues that any list of America's most admired corporate leaders is heavily loaded with people who don't have the qualification: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jack Welch, Michael Dell and Andy Grove, to name but a few. The fact that some 40% of the bosses of America's biggest companies today have an MBA is, he claims, largely due to the fact that the system is self-perpetuating. "Enabling Harvard to place so many people at the top is the fact that Harvard already has so many people at the top."
Mr Mintzberg is not alone these days in questioning the value of the traditional MBA. Leading consultants such as McKinsey and Mercer are spreading their recruitment net much more widely. Mercer's London office says that one year's in-house training enables young graduates to "run circles round newly minted MBAs". In its February issue, the Harvard Business Review (no less) said that "an arts degree is now perhaps the hottest credential in the world of business", with corporate recruiters trawling places such as the Rhode Island School of Design.
"Managers not MBAs" throws a stone into the often complacent world of management education. It should be required reading for anyone who has the qualification, wants one, or just wonders what all the fuss is about.
What's the topic of this passage？
A．How to teach managers to manage.
B．MBAs are not all proper managers.
C．Mr. Mintzberg's research on MBAs.
D．MBA study is a good way to cultivate managers.
The driver looked at her but made no answer, so she repeated the question. To her surprise, he then closed the door, on her arm, and drove off.
The woman, her arm stuck in the door, ran alongside the bus, shouting. Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they, too were shouting.
When the driver finally did stop and open the door, the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number. Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.
After the driver' s bossed at a tax-support governmental company(CTA) heard of the incident, they looked into it and set his punishment: a five-day suspension (停职) without pay. That struck me as rather light.
But Bill Baxa, the company' s public-relation man, "That' s a pretty serious punishment.
Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？ Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a terrible punishment. The driver make $14 an hour. Multiply(乘)that by 40 and you can see that he lost."
Yes, that come to $560, a good sum. But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week' s pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting suggestion: Give me a bus. Then have their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I' 11 slam the door shut, shut the bus quickly and take them for a fast one block run.
And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers？ Mr Baxa？ Anyone？
I didn't think so.
The nurse half-entered one of the buses because ______.
A．the bus they wanted didn't stop
B．She wanted the driver to stop the bus
C．She wanted to get some information from the driver
D．She and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner
