The job was done, and it was time for a last cigarette. Eddie began tapping the pockets of

his overalls, looking for the new packet of Marlboro he bought that morning. It was not there.

It was as he swung around to look in his toolbox for the cigarettes that Eddie saw the lump. Right in the middle of the brand new bright red carpet, there was a lump. A lump the size of a packet of cigarettes.

"I've done it again? said Eddie angrily. "I've left the cigarettes under the carpet?

He had done this once before, and taking up and refitting the carpet had taken him two hours. Eddie was determined that he was not going to spend another two hours in this house. He decided to get rid of the lump another way. It would mean wasting a good packet of cigarettes, nearly full, but anything was better than taking up the whole carpet and fitting it again .He turned to his toolbox for a large hammer.

Eddie didn't want to damage the carpet itself, so he took a block of wood and placed it on top of the lump. Then he began to beat the block of wood as hard as he could. He kept beating, hoping Mrs. Vanbrugh wouldn't hear the noise and come to see what he was doing. It would be difficult to explain why he was hammering the middle of her beautiful new carpet... The lump was beginning to flatten out.

After three or four minutes, the job was finally finished. Eddie picked up his tools, and began to walk out to his car. Mrs. Vanbrugh accompanied him. She seemed a little worried about something.

"Young man, while you were working today, you didn't by any chance see any sign of Armand, did you? Armand is my bird. I let him out of his cage, you see, this morning, and he's disappeared. He likes to walk around the house, and he usually just comes back to his cage after an hour or so and gets right in. Only today he didn't come back. He's never done such a thing before, it's most peculiar..."

"No, madam, I haven't seen him anywhere," said Eddie, as he reached to start the car.

And he saw his packet of Marlboro cigarettes on the panel, where he had left it at lunchtime....

And he remembered the lump in the carpet...

What did Eddie want to do when he had finished fitting the carpet?

A.To have a cigarette.

B.To hammer the carpet flat.

C.To put back his tools.

D.To start work in the dining room.

Education has acquired a kind of snob value in modern times. We are no longer content
to be honest craftsmen, skilled at our work through years of patient practice. Nowadays if we want to get a decent job, we have to have a piece of paper. If we want promotion in even the humblest job, we have to obtain a certificate or a diploma first. We may know that we would be better at the job than the man with the paper qualifications, but our experience and practical skills are regarded as relatively unimportant. "Johnson would have been manager by now if he'd taken the trouble to get a degree," his colleagues say, "he's a clever man. He could have done anything if he'd had a proper education."

I wonder if, as time goes on, we shall discover that many people, whose practical experience and ability would have been enormously useful to their employers, have been rejected on the grounds that they are insufficiently qualified. Would it not be better to allow people to become expert in the way most suited to them, rather than oblige them to follow a set course of instruction which may offer no opportunity for them to develop skills in which they would have become expert if left to themselves?

1.By the first sentence in Para. One, the writer perhaps means ____.

A、education has acquired a pleasant value

B、education is ignored by the public

C、too much attention is paid to degrees in education

D、too little attention is paid to degrees in education

2.According to the passage, if we want to get promotion nowadays we have to ____.

A、produce proof of our qualification

B、write a paper about our qualifications

C、apply to take a certificate

D、apply for a diploma course

3.From the passage we understand that his colleagues think that Johnson ____.

A、should have been given a degree

B、would have been able to get a degree

C、couldn't have done anything without a degree

D、would become manager even without a degree

4.The writer fears that without paper qualifications many people ____.

A、won't get proper education

B、will prove useless in their job

C、will be dismissed from their job

D、won't be considered for a job

5.In the writer's opinion it would be better if people ____.

A、were forced to take a diploma

B、were free to become educated in their own way

C、attended more practical courses

D、attended courses intended for experts

听力原文:The most prestigious exchange in the world is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

听力原文: The most prestigious exchange in the world is the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The NYSE is the first type of exchange, where much of the trading is done face-to-face on a trading floor. This is also referred to as a "listed" exchange. Orders come in through brokerage firms that are members of the exchange and flow down to floor brokers who go to a specific spot on the floor where the stock trades. At this location, known as the trading post, there is a specific person known as the "specialist" whose job is to match buyers and sellers. Prices are determined by using an auction method: the current price is the highest amount any buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price at which someone is willing to sell.

28. Which is the most notable exchange in the world?

29.In the NYSE, where does the "specialist" match buyers and sellers?

30.In the NYSE, what are prices determined by?

(28)

A.the Nasdaq

B.the NYSE

C.the OTC

D.the AMEX

In January 2010 Ami took over an old warehouse with the intention of opening an art galler
y. As the warehouse had to be converted, Ami entered into two contracts, one with Bry to do all the necessary plastering and one with Cis, who was to do all the necessary painting. Both Bry and Cis were to be paid £5,000. Both received initial payments of £1,000 and agreed to have the work completed on 31 March, as the art gallery had to be ready for its fi rst exhibition on 1 May.

At the end of February, Bry told Ami that he would not complete the plastering in time unless she agreed to increase his payment by a further £1,000. Ami agreed to pay the increased sum in order to ensure that the job was done on time. She then thought it was only fair that she should increase the amount of money promised to Cis by the same amount.

However, on completion of the work on time Ami refused to make either of the additional payments to Bry or Cis, beyond the original contractual price.

Required:

Advise Bry and Cis whether they have any rights in law to enforce Ami’s promise to pay them an extra £1,000.

The aim of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state【21】the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have【22】. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without【23】out any necessary facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in【24】that the things a possible employer is most【25】to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements(成绩) and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.【26】the first few sentences fail to【27】the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be【28】at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not【29】your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your【30】in today's newspaper," you might say "I have made a careful【31】of your advertising during the past six months." or "I have made a survey(调查) in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives【32】your product and why they like it."

Try not to look ordinary. Be clear【33】the kind of job for which you are now【34】. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask, "What can I【35】in a letter? Employers want experience--which, naturally, no【36】has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is【37】

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.【38】a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something certain to do or expect. An excellent【39】is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self- addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it【40】for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

(61)

A.clearly

B.carefully

C.obviously

D.easily

CYCLES MOVE WITH THE TIMES

Times have been hard for the UK cycle industry. Poor weather and competition from abroad have had a serious effect on sales. Manufacturers have had to cut back and last month more than 40 job losses were announced at Cycle World, one of the country's main bicycle factories in Leicester. But the company says it is fighting to win back customers, using such strategies as improved after-sales and bikes built to specific customer requirements.

Two years ago, Cycle World sold off its bike-making machinery in an effort to cut costs and save money. The company's Leicester factory is now only an assembly plant as most of the parts are imported.

The company produces half a million bikes a year across the full Cycle World range, with nearly all of these being sold in the UK. Production is largely done by hand. Workers use the batch production method - everyone making up to 600 bikes of a particular model at any one time.

At the height of its success, Cycle World employed 7,000 people but, like many areas of manufacturing, it has since shrunk. Its 1950s purpose- built factory now employs just 470 permanent workers, with numbers rising to 700 as temporary staff are taken on to meet seasonal demands in sales.

The weather has encouraged more people to buy bikes.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Doesn't say
