Read the beginning of a student’s proposal essay and choose the best answer to each question. The Athlete on the Sidelines It’s midseason in cheer nation. This winter, thousands of girls will travel on college all-star teams to take part in competitions across the country. Practicing more than 20 hours a week, they will refine a routine of back flips, hansprings, round-offs and splits—all perfectly synchronized and timed to an Olympic second. Their goal: first place. Their game: competitive cheerleading, one of the fastest-growing sports for women in America. For too many years, cheerleading has been the subject of derision. Sports Illustrated has lampooned it. Many Americans fail to distinguish it from the sideline shows the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders put on. Back when I was a cheerleader in high school in the late 70s, we were called a sideshow. In those days, we performed at every sporting event—football, basketball and baseball. … What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

B、To convince readers that a problem exists.
C、To persuade readers to take competitive cheerleading seriously.
D、To tell readers why she became a cheerleader.

Hurtling as we are towards the new millennium, with all the social changes this iconic date implies, it is increasingly apparent (21) the world of business is experiencing fundamental shifts. Today, both companies and schools are increasingly aware that business is a human activity; it's ultimately (22) and about people.
In future, employers will (23) doubt demand more rounded individuals to run their operations, which naturally creates a question for the next generation of students, "Is the classic MBA still the model—and obligatory—passage toward that ideal career？"
The Masters of Business Administration (MBA), the best-known business school label, is an introduction to general management. The traditional MBA, Harvard-style, has remained largely unaltered (24) the 1950s, and seeks to provide a thorough knowledge of business functions through the case study—a(n) (25) incidentally borrowed from law school.
The trouble is that the real world is not a theoretical exercise. The problems managers face today are messy, and, if anything, are becoming messier, neither fitting in neat functional boxes nor (26) one simple answer. Ambiguity is the hardest (27) to manage, but it's the one most managers are wrestling with.
"Management is more art than science," observes Richard D'Aveni, professor of strategic management at Dartmouth's Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. "No one can say with certainty which decisions will bring the most (28) , any more than they can create instructions over (29) to sculpt a masterpiece. You just have to feel it as it goes."
John Quelch is another business-school insider who detects the limitations of the traditional syllabus. According to Quelch, leadership is an area that b-schools have not fully addressed. It is notoriously hard to teach, (30) programs do have the capacity to provide a grounding in non-business areas and personal growth.

A、Siegel (1986) writes that we still do not know all the ways in which brain chemistry is related to emotions and thoughts, but the important point is that our mental state has an immediate and direct effect on our physical state.
B、According to Siegel (1986), our mind affects our body quickly and directly, although we do not yet understand every aspect of how brain chemicals relate to emotions and thoughts.
C、Siegel (1986) writes that although the relationship between brain chemistry and thoughts and feelings is not fully understood, we do know that our psychological state affects our physical state.
D、Siegel (1986) writes that the relationship between the chemicals in the brain and our thoughts and feelings remains only partially understood. He goes on to say, however, that one thing is clear: our mental state affects our bodily state.

Problems in the IT industry
In the information technology industry, it is widely acknowledged that how well IT departments of the future can fulfil their business goals will depend not on the regular updating of technology, which is essential for them to do, but on how well they can hold on to the people skilled at manipulating the newest technology. This is becoming more difficult. Best estimates of the current shortfall In IT staff in the UK are between 30,000 and 50,000, and growing.
And there is no end to the problem in sight. A severe industry-wide lack of investment in training means the long-term skills base is both ageing and shrinking. Employers are chasing experienced staff in ever-decreasing circles, and, according to a recent government report, 250,000 new IT jobs will be created over the next decade.
Most employers are confining themselves to dealing with the immediate problems. There is little evidence, for example, that they are stepping up their intake of raw recruits for in* house training, or retraining existing staff from other functions. This is the course of action recommended by the Computer Software Services Association, but research shows its members are adopting the short-term measure of bringing in more and more consultants on a contract basis. However, this approach is becoming less and less acceptable as the general shortage of skills, coupled with high demand, sends contractor rates soaring. An experienced contract programmer, for example, can now earn at least double the current permanent salary.
With IT professionals increasingly attracted to the financial rewards and flexibility of consultancy work, average staff turnover rates are estimated to be around 15%. While many companies in the financial services sector are managing to contain their losses by offering skilled IT stall 'golden handcuffs' - deferred loyalty bonuses that tie them in until a certain date - other organisations, like local governments, are unable to match the competitive salaries and perks on offer in the private sector and contractor market, and are suffering turnover rates of up to 60% a year.
But while loyalty bonuses have grabbed the headlines, there are other means of holding on to staff. Some companies are doing additional IT pay reviews in the year and paying market premiums. But such measures can create serious employee relations problems among those excluded, both within and outside IT departments. Many Industry experts advise employers to link bonuses to performance wherever possible. However, employers are realising that bonuses will only succeed if they are accompanied by other incentives such as attractive career prospects, training, and challenging work that meets the individual's long-term ambitions.
This means managers need to allocate assignments more strategically and think about advancing their staff as well as their business. Some employers advocate giving key employees projects that would normally be handled by people with slightly more experience or capability. For many employers, however, the urgency of the problem demands a more immediate solution, such as recruiting skilled workers from overseas. But even this is not easy, with strict quotas on the number of work permits issued. In addition, opposition to the recruitment of IT people from other countries is growing, as many professionals believe it will lead to
A．their success at retaining their skilled staff.
B．the extent to which they invest in new technology.
C．their attempts to recruit staff with the necessary skills.
D．the ability of employees to keep up with the latest developments.
Different people choose different jobs according to their interests and ability. Everyone's ideal job is totally different.

Cruise Ship Holidays
Passengers on cruise ship holidays, as they are (0) on TV programs and films, usually appear to be both rich and elderly. Such people do not, however, accurately represent the 6.8 million (19) who took this kind of holiday last year. Over the last few years the world cruise industry has concentrated on (20) to younger, less wealthy people, giving them a/an (21) more like a floating disco than the traditional quiet holiday on a luxury ship. Even families with young children are no longer so (22) on cruise ship. Partly as a result, the number of passengers taking a cruise has increased by a/an (23) of 8.5 % a year since 1990.
Cruise Star is now the world's (24) cruise line. The other two major companies are Intersail and Seaways. Together these three carry (25) half the world's cruise passengers and (26) almost all the industry's profits. For the 30 or so smaller firms, life is much tougher. That is because (27) size brings so many benefits to the large firms. They can negotiate bulk discounts on (28) such as food and fuel, and even, if they order enough of them, on ships. A secondary (20) for the smaller operators is that they cannot spread overheads such broadly marketing. A significant part of the cost of (30) people on a cruise happens before they go on board the ship. The three large companies between them spend more than $ 100 million a year on TV (31) in America. They (32) armies of salesman. Delivering passengers to the ship is part of package deal and, once again, (33) means savings: Cruise Star is the biggest single buyer of airline tickets in America.

Study the following abbreviated essay outline. Then choose the most appropriate concluding paragraph. When computing technology is making an ever-increasing impact on many aspects of the production and life of mankind, computers have been widely applied in almost every field. However, the question of whether there are more benefits than drawbacks for young children using a computer everyday has triggered a wide debate. As far as I am concerned, I tend to believe that the advantages outweigh disadvantages for the following reasons. For one thing, in modern society, computer is used in many different fields such as health, education and business. It has become an indispensable part in our life… For another thing, some computer knowledge is required for the job, so great importance should be attached to it. Some people consider that it is not good for children to use computer everyday, because sitting in front of a screen for too long can damage both the eyes and the physical posture of young children. But we can cope with this problem by limiting the time of using computers and giving proper supervision for them… ...
A、Although, to some extent, computers have brought people great convenience in getting information, entertainment and contact with others, especially for those businessmen, for those youngsters, typically those teenagers who are not rational enough to control themselves, computers should not be allowed to intrude into their daily life.
B、All in all, everything has two sides. Whether computers will do us good or harm all depend on how we use them.
C、In conclusion, I strongly believe that using computer everyday brings more benefits than drawbacks to young children. The most important aspect depends on that the young children need proper guidance.
D、To sum up, computers benefit young children a lot and also bring about some negative influence on children.
