The Buying and Selling of Shares

The business of buying and selling shares is done in an area known the floor. Scattered over the floor are positions called posts. Each post bears the names of the stocks traded at that post. A broker desiring to buy shares of a certain stock will go to the section of the post allotted to that stock. If the prevailing price of the stock is several points (31) from the figure the broker is authorized to pay, an order may be left with the specialist, who often acts as liaison (32) buyer and seller. The specialist enters the order in a book; (33) the price is reached, the specialist buys or sells the stock (34) to the orders of the broker and reports the transaction to the buyer and the seller. If the prevailing quotations are close (35) the price the broker is authorized to by, however, he or she usually attempts (36) complete the transaction without recourse to the specialist. As soon as a price is agreed on, both brokers, the buyer and the seller, make a memorandum of the transaction. which is reported (37) the brokerage office at once by telephone. An exchange employee (38) the post where the transaction occurs writes, on a special card. the stock symbol, the number of shares, and the price, and places the card in an optical reader. The photoelectric eye of the card reader scans tire pencil marks (39) transmits the information to a compute. The computer records the information in its memory banks and transmits the details of the transaction (40) more than 25,400 electrical tickers and display devices in the U. S., Canada. and Europe.

Section A Skimming and Scanning Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Non-Verbal Communication Really Matters in Our Daily Work A) There are many well-recognized forms of communicating without words, and even when the main intentional messages are through spoken or written language they are always transmitted or received in non-verbal contexts which may help or hinder the recipient (接受者) in receiving exactly the message the sender intended. Whether or not the two participants communicate effectively depends just as much on their sharing an understanding of the non-verbal signs as on their having a common vocabulary of words. B) The kinds of non-verbal signs we easily recognize are facial expressions, gestures, body postures, and variations in pitch and tone of voice. Actors are skilled in the strict control of these. They are supported by costumes, stage set, furniture, lighting and so on, but the audience must already have learnt to interpret the whole, as any who have attended a Japanese opera will agree. Doctors, like actors, deliberately use many non-verbal signs such as dress. With the transition from preclinical to clinical stage, medical students tend to adopt smooth, dark suits along with the stethoscope (听诊器). A doctor is usually sensitive to the different meanings of receiving patients sitting or standing, of getting up to shake hands or to show them to the door, and of his touch being rude or gentle, and realizes that an anxious mother will more readily hear doom in his pronouncements than will a self-confident one. C) But the doctor-parent relationship is also influenced by rather less well recognized non-verbal cues - the spatial (空间) distance between them, for instance, real or symbolic, and the way in which furniture affects this. Some of these non-verbal factors, which we might learn to control better, are well illustrated by a story that the wife of a colleague told me in a recent visit to hospital. She herself had been trained as a nurse and was by no means unsophisticated in medical ways. She was nevertheless frightened and discouraged more than was necessary, and almost certainly more than the doctor intended, by the non-verbal factors that permeated (渗透，弥漫) the whole climate of the clinical interview. The furniture was arranged so that she sat immediately opposite him at the table. It is well known that conversation takes place more easily when people sit across the corner of a table than opposite each other. Ultimately a round table was agreed upon. D) The importance of furniture in establishing dominance, or making clear what differences of status exist between people who come together to converse, is well illustrated by a court of law. Here the judge sits in a special chair, well above the rest of the people, and has his own door in and out of the court, so that he does not need to mix with the other members, thus stressing his aloofness (置身事外) and authority. This matter of exits and entrances may seem very slight, but sometimes it acquires great importance. E) Returning to my colleague's wife, another non-verbal indication of the patient's lower status was the presence of a row of medical students sitting beside the consultant; this emphasized that she was there not only for herself but as an object on which to teach. She would be questioned and interrupted but would not do so herself. F) What upset her most, however, was that the doctor, sitting at his table and bending over her notes, questioned her without ever raising his head to look into her face. Now perception (感知) of the human face, and especially mutual eye-to-eye contact, is of enormous importance in communication. It begins very early with feeding; a mother tends automatically to look at the baby, and the baby automatically to look at her face, as he takes the nipple into his mouth. Normal babies prefer to look at a picture of a human face rather than any other target. In contrast, autistic (患自闭症的) children, given the choice, prefer to look at animal faces, and enjoy playing with environmental stimuli such as door knobs or electrical switches more than normal children; in social situations their gestures are normal, except that they tend to lower their heads, avoiding their gaze, so that they do not engage in eye-to-eye contact - just as the doctor did in the interview described above. G) The feeling that face-to-face contact is necessary in understanding the person one is talking to is well accepted, but rather less so is the fact that one feels that one is better understood if the other person is or seems to be looking at one. H) My informant's account shows many ways in which the doctor's non-verbal communications isolated him from the patient. Distance between doctor and patient, real or symbolic, spatial or psychological, may be helpful in some cases; but modern doctoring more and more requires cooperation. The witch-doctor is maybe the more powerful for being kept apart, spatially, by dress, habits and reputation; he commands the magic which he uses on behalf of the patient. But in modem medicine the patient has to do a great deal of the curing himself, especially in the area of preventive medicine. Many more subtle clues which convey to the patient that his way to health is through domination rather than self-reliance linger on in the ordinary clinical interview. In many cases, because the doctor is not aware of their power, the symbols are working against him, and not for him. It is very important that the spatial arrangements between doctor and patient, the furniture, equipment and building should all express cooperation and participation rather than domination. 1. The signs of non-verbal communication include facial expressions, gestures, postures, changes in pitch and tone of voice.

Read the following poem and finish the tasks that follow: Others for language all their care express, And value books, as women men, for dress. Their praise is still—the style is excellent; The sense they humbly take upon content. Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found. False eloquence, like the prismatic glass, Its gaudy colors spreads on every place; The face of Nature we no more survey, All glares alike, without distinction gay. … Expression is the dress of thought, and still Appears more decent as more suitable. Questions： 1. What is the title and who is the author of this canto of the poem? (2 points) 2. What type of foot is used in this poem? How many feet are there in a line?

Task 2: Match the paragraphs with the topic sentences. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Paragraph Topic Sentence 1. ___ No-one is expecting an interviewee to grin manically throughout the interview, but there’s nothing worse than a blank or worried expression. Here’s an old trick: looking up at the ceiling and raising your eyebrows just before entering the interview room will relax your face. 2. ___ Interviewers spend all day listening to answers to the same set of questions, and so they would appreciate someone who is concise. Also, digressing into an anecdote about your Aunt Sandy doesn’t say much for your ability to focus on one task. If you have a relevant story to tell, practise it until you can deliver it in as few words as possible. 3. ___ Scratching the nose or breaking eye contact, for example, are both sure signs that the interviewee is not being entirely honest. Someone who does not sit straight might be lazy, while someone who sits too straight is probably not creative. These are subjective and perhaps hasty judgements, but interviewers are human, like everyone else. A. Your face should be open and friendly, inviting conversation from the interviewer. B. Small details, such as posture, or the way you hold your head, have a greater impact than you can imagine. C. One interviewer we surveyed said she pays a lot of attention to a candidate’s body language. D. Candidates should keep their answers to the point, without being monosyllabic. Write down the 3 corresponding letters of the topic sentences for the 3 paragraphs.

【填空题】Matching Paragraph Headings The reading passage has seven paragraphs: A – G. Choose the most suitable paragraph headings A – G from the list of headings beneath the passage. Write the appropriate numbers (i –ix) in the text boxes below the headings. There are more paragraph headings than paragraphs so you will not use them all. Yoruba Town （Adopted from：http://www.ieltsbuddy.com/paragraph-headings.html） A. The Yoruba people of Nigeria classify their towns in two ways. Permanent towns with their own governments are called “ilu”, whereas temporary settlements, set up to support work in the country are “aba”. Although ilu tend to be larger than aba, the distinction is not one of size, some aba are large, while declining ilu can be small, but of purpose. There is no “typical” Yoruba town, but some features are common to most towns. B. In the 19th century most towns were heavily fortified and the foundations of these walls are sometimes visible. Collecting tolls to enter and exit through the walls was a major source of revenue for the old town rulers, as were market fees. The markets were generally located centrally and in small towns, while in large towns there were permanent stands made of corrugated iron or concrete. The market was usually next to the local ruler’s palace. C. The palaces were often very large. In the 1930’s, the area of Oyo’s palace covered 17 acres, and consisted of a series of courtyards surrounded by private and public rooms. After colonisation, many of the palaces were completely or partially demolished. Often the rulers built two storey houses for themselves using some of the palace grounds for government buildings. D. The town is divided into different sections. In some towns these are regular, extending out from the center of the town like spokes on a wheel, while in others, where space is limited, they are more random. The different areas are further divided into compounds called “ile”. These vary in size considerably from single dwellings to up to thirty houses. They tend to be larger in the North. Large areas are devoted to government administrative buildings. Newer developments such as industrial or commercial areas or apartment housing for civil servants tends to be build on the edge of the town. E. Houses are rectangular and either have a courtyard in the center or the rooms come off a central corridor. Most social life occurs in the courtyard. They are usually built of hardened mud and have roofs of corrugated iron or, in the countryside, thatch. Buildings of this material are easy to alter, either by knocking down rooms or adding new ones. And can be improved by coating the walls with cement. Richer people often build their houses of concrete blocks and, if they can afford to, build two storey houses. Within compounds there can be quite a mixture of building types. Younger well-educated people may have well furnished houses while their older relatives live in mud walled buildings and sleep on mats on the floor. F. The builder or the most senior man gets a room either near the entrance or, in a two storied house, next to the balcony. He usually has more than one room. Junior men get a room each and there are separate rooms for teenage boys and girls to sleep in. Younger children sleep with their mothers. Any empty room are used as storage, let out or, if they face the street, used as shops. G. Amenities vary. In some towns most of the population uses communal water taps and only the rich have piped water, in others piped water is more normal. Some areas have toilets, but bucket toilets are common with waste being collected by a “night soil man”. Access to water and electricity are key political issues. 窗体顶端 Match the correct heading to the paragraph A-G. 1- Town facilities 2-Oyo’s palace 3-Urban divisions 4-Architectural home styles 5- Types of settlements 6- Historical foundations 7 - Domestic arrangements 8- City defenses 9- Various changes 窗体底端 10- Government buildings A______B_______C________D_______ E______F_______G_________
