Most companies expect IT (Information Technology) managers to head an IT staff of computer technicians. But IT managers can also specialize in other areas. Some managers may also be responsible for keeping their company’s Internet safety. They protect both their company and their online customers from thieves.
Other managers focus more on the business rather than the technical part of computing. They become project managers, helping companies reach as many online customers as possible.
Some companies also look for IT managers who can act as trainers. These trainers help a company’s computer technicians keep up-to-date on computer skills.
Most companies require their IT managers to have both a bachelor’s degree and some experience in the computer field. Often, companies hire IT managers out of their existing staff of computer technicians.
Since IT managers are extremely important to companies’ success, it’s no surprise that they receive such high salaries – around US $56,000 a year to start with. And, in such a fast-changing field,
managers’ salaries usually increase after only a couple of years.
The world will be watching to see just how quickly e-commerce replaces the old ways of doing business. And as computers change the way the world does business, IT managers will be in the middle of it all. Few companies can survive without them.
Besides being the leader of computer technicians, IT managers are also expected to be ________.
(A) experienced product designers
(B) skilled online technicians
(C) doctorate holders
(D) online safety specialists

BEIJING'S ROADS FOR THE FUTURE
The road system in Beijing's central business district (CBD) is being re-designed to make public transportation easy and improve efficiency.
Plans for 45 roads within the CBD have been approved, measuring 41.5 kilometers in total. In addition to public buses, free or low price shuttle buses from residence areas to subway stations will also be provided for commuters.
This is just over four times the number of roads opened in 2007, and will add another 15.5 km to the existing road network.
Besides roads, an underground traffic system has also been operating, which includes four new subway lines beneath the CBD.
The underground connection system is made up of two levels. The first underground floor is set aside mainly for pedestrians and commercial facilities, while the second underground floor is planned for parking.
The city has also invested 140 million yuan to set up a traffic inquiry system, through which the public can check traffic conditions online and see the most convenient routes on their GPS system. In the future, the CBD will be fully covered by an intelligent traffic control system.

Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated (举行就职典礼) on March 4, 1801. He was the first President to take the oath of office (宣誓就职) in the nation's permanent capital, Washington, D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capital's streets and pubic buildings. (79) Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several gadgets (小装置) and tools.
After his inauguration, Jefferson moved into the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady; Jefferson's wife died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and down-at-the-heel slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually.
Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. (80) He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.
Which of the following statements about Washington, D.C. can be correctly inferred from the passage?
A.The Presidential Palace was not located there.
B.It contained many old buildings in 1801.
C.It was not the first capital of the United States.
D.Thomas Jefferson was a newcomer there in 1801.
Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases (短语) for greeting people;but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod,bowing(鞠躬)like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor’ s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease,I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husbandy s kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I’ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I’ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest (抗议,反对)at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I’ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off,since he’ s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That’ s very well,but when I’ m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host,or both,insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way,with my repeating the “Don’t bother (give the trouble) to see me off” at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to accept the inevitable(不可避免的). Besides,that’ s going against Chinese custom, because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? “Go slowly. ” Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福),but “Go slowly”. To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your step”,or some such caution,but translated literally(照字面地)it means “Go slowly”.
It is stated clearly that the writer____.
A.is interested in the Chinese-language textbooks
B.is proud of being able to greet people at the door
C.is unsatisfied with the Chinese-language textbooks
D.is afraid of the standard phrases from the textbooks
It can be inferred that the writer ____.A.speaks Chinese
B.lives in the USA
C.dislikes her husband’ s ways of seeing guests off
D.refuses to follow the Chinese custom of seeing guests off
According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except_____.A.seeing the guests off to the farthest point
B.protesting again and again
C.running after the guests
D.saying “Go slowly”
The Chinese use “ Go slowly” in their partings so as to____.A.slow down the guests
B.ask the guests to take care
C.wish the guests a happy journey
D.warn the guests of danger on their way home
