Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard from again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and, without so much as a note or a good-bye, close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home — the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
Eileen Doyle reacted that way after her husband’s leaving, because she__________.

A.failed to hear from him for a long time
B.had no idea what was wrong with their family life
C.blamed herself for something wrong she did
D.wondered why her husband took up all their children

According to the passage, those people left their families behind for the following reasons except_________.

A.they couldn’t bear their spouse (配偶)
B.they were afraid of the burden of debts
C.they wanted to forget the past completely
D.they wanted to start a new life somewhere else

The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually ________.

A.admits their responsibility for the situation
B.feels embarrassed and useless
C.will have no legal marriage life for seven years
D.wishes the person who has left were dead

Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse because ________.

A.their spouse would feel greatly relieved
B.their spouse would feel no pain during the death
C.their spouse’s death would contribute to them starting a fresh life
D.their spouse’s death would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure

What’s the author’s attitude towards the departures of this kind?

A.Objective. B.Supportive.
C.Negative. D.Positive.

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.
He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person.” Tiffany admits. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a family where respect for those in authority was shown by turning away your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact, not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”
Many of us have had similar experiences with behaviors we describe as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions (假设) .
Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can have no personal biases (偏见) from the process have an obvious advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate (房产) agent we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
“During my Mindsets coaching period, I was taught how to own a diversified workforce. I employed people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to make use of their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”
Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops in charge of a diverse workforce. “Through some of the lessons, I discovered my personal bias.” he recalls. “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.” In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
“I had a management position open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My assumption would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel.” Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to promote the full potential of a diverse workforce. “I learned from the class that instead of forcing my gender biases into the situation, I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision.” Dale sings high praise for the workshop, “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness.”
A better Bottom Line
An open mind about diversity not only improves organizations from inside, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales.” Most of my customers speak English as a second language. One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service. As a result, our customer base has increased.”
Once we start to see people as individuals, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities and about building better communities and organizations. When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers, family, friends, etc, we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are imperfect or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.
In Tiffany’s view, the first candidate was passed over because he ________.

A.was an Asian-American
B.didn’t perform as perfectly as the second one
C.was untrustworthy
D.showed no respect for authority

Tiffany’s misjudgment about the candidate originated from ________.

A.racial discrimination
B.cultural differences
C.gender discrimination
D.emphasis on physical appearance

What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?

A.A real estate agency.
B.A hi-tech company.
C.A company dealing with financial affairs.
D.A company training workforce.

Which of the following statements will Dale not agree with about Mindsets LLC’s workshop?

A.It helped him make fair decisions.
B.It helped him discover his personal bias about gender.
C.It helped him look at a person as a whole one.
D.It helped him find successful candidates.

The last paragraph is intended to tell us the importance of ________.

A.viewing people as individuals
B.challenging our past
C.training ourselves in Mindsets’ workshops
D.building better communications

They say that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Yet childhood bullying (欺凌) really can damage your long-term health. Gone are the days when bullying was considered an unavoidable and finally harmless part of growing up — just last month we learned that childhood bullying can lead to poorer mental health even into middle age.
Now William Copeland at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and his colleagues have shown that it can have lasting physiological effects too. They tracked 1,420 nine-year-olds right through their teens. Each child was seen up to nine times during the study and asked about bullying. The team then measured levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in their blood. CRP is a marker of inflammation (炎症) linked to higher risk of cardiovascular disease (心血管疾病) and problems like diabetes. “Because we were collecting biological samples throughout, we were able to look at CRP levels in subjects prior to their bullying involvement.” says Copeland. “This really gives us an idea of the changes bullying brings about.”
Although CRP levels naturally rise in everyone during adolescence, levels were highest in children who reported suffering from bullies. Even at the ages of 19 and 21, children who had once been bullied had CRP levels about 1.4 times higher than peers who were neither wrongdoers nor victims. In a cruel twist, the bullies had the lowest levels of all, suggesting they didn’t suffer the same health risks. They may even see a benefit from their behavior, though Copeland stresses it doesn’t defend their actions. “The goal would instead be to find other ways to produce this protective effect without it being at someone else’s expense.” he says.
Andrea Danese at King’s College London has before shown that ill-treatment during childhood can lead to high levels of inflammation in adult life. “This new study is a helpful addition in showing that these effects extend to another important childhood stressor.” he says. He suggests that care workers monitor levels of CRP in children having psychotherapy to see if it is helping to reduce the stress of being bullied.
What do you know about CRP?

A.It relates directly to diabetes.
B.It is a sign of the inflammation.
C.It is a sign of cardiovascular disease.
D.It is a sign of physiological effects caused by bullying.

What does the phrase “prior to” in Para.2 mean?

A.through B.during C.after D.before

What can be learned from paragraph 3?

A.CRP levels naturally rise along with the increase of age.
B.The bullies are not to blame for the health risks of the bullied.
C.The levels of CRP of the children once bullied are higher than their peers.
D.Copeland intends to defend the benefit of the bullies’ actions.

What does Andrea Danese think about childhood ill-treatment?

A.Copeland’s study shows nothing related to it.
B.It doesn’t have much to do with inflammation in adult life.
C.The stress of being bullied is reduced through psychotherapy.
D.Psychological treatment might help solve the problem caused by ill-treatment.

What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Bullying is beneficial to the bullies.
B.CRP levels reflect the risks of poorer health.
C.Bullying has lasting harmful effects on a person.
D.Bullying leads to high CRP levels.

High school graduation—the bittersweet feelings are as much a part of me now as they were twenty-one years ago.
As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boys—a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school. There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home. My mother’s idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether I had considered particular schools—all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, as long as the expenses would not be too heavy a burden on the family budget, I would be going away anyway, my family’s perspective changed. Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far. The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California. But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns: What would college be like? Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school? Would the other students like me? Would I make friends easily? Would I miss my family so much that I wouldn’t be able to stand it? And what about the work—would I be able to keep up? (Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance I would be able to survive college.) What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake? Would I be able to transfer to another school?
Then panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn. I really didn’t want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all. It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didn’t enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung of the ladder again.
Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. As the familiar melody of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed in the background, I looked around at the other figures in white caps and gowns as we seriously lined into the hall. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness. As if in a daze(恍惚), I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma. As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand-new life. Exciting as the future of a new life seemed, it wasn’t easy saying good-bye to the old one—the familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would even miss that chemistry class I wasn’t particularly fond of and the long travel each day between home and school that I hated. Good or bad, it was what I knew.
That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island. I needn’t have worried about liking it. My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life. And as for friends, some of the friendships I formed there I still treasure today. Years later, financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good. Although going back is impossible, it’s comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.
In this article the author mainly describes ________.

A.the great excitement during the months leading up to the big event—the graduation ceremony
B.her mixed feelings during the months leading towards graduation and on the actual graduation day
C.her happiness to be admitted to a wonderful university
D.her eagerness to go to a wonderful university far away from home

A.did not care very much which college her daughter went to
B.was greatly disappointed at her decision to go to a college on the East Coast
C.willingly allowed her to go to a college of her own choice
D.wished that she would study at a college or university close to home

Expectation and excitement suddenly changed into anxiety and fear. Which of the following did the author NOT include as a reason for that change?

A.Growing homesick might seriously affect her academic performance at college.
B.She might make a wrong choice and enter a university she did not like at all.
C.Her being a top student at high school did not mean a successful academic career for her.
D.It might be hard for her to make friends under new circumstances.

On the actual graduation day, ________.

A.the familiar tune “Pomp and Circumstance” brought tears to her eyes
B.she went through the whole ceremony in a daze
C.she came to realize that she had a passion for her old school
D.reaching out for diploma, she was aware of a new stage in life ahead of her

The author adopts a(n)________ tone in writing this article.

A.matter-of-fact B.serious
C.emotional D.indifferent

Five Secrets of Living Life to the Fullest
I believe that men and women through the ages who have led successful lives have captured these five secrets of living life to the fullest.
_____________This means having a deep sense of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your word, and being faithful to yourself, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own internal standards, and not comparing yourself to others. It’s not a question of being better than someone else;respect and honesty demand that you be better than you thought you could be.
_____________ Believe in others, and take time to achieve their dreams. A wise man said, “If you want one year’s prosperity, grow grain. But if you want ten years’ prosperity, grow men and women.” You can build into the lives of your family, friends and colleagues by providing nutrients of gratitude and encouragement, and by investing your time and energy in their aspirations.
_____________ Individuals who live with abandon have discovered that personal trials make them more sensitive and loving, while building endurance and character. They have learned that achievements worth remembering are stained with the blood of diligence and etched (铭记) with the scars of disappointment. The pages of history are filled with the heroic stories of courageous men and women who triumphed over disabilities and adversities to demonstrate victorious spirits.
_____________ We live in a goal-oriented society that wants problems resolved now. We want three-minute oatmeal, one-hour dry cleaning, and instant success. But to live with abandon, we must live one day at a time, enjoying the little victories, realizing that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal fulfillment. It means taking time to hug your kids, kiss your spouse, and let the other fellow ahead of you on the freeway.
_____________ I do not believe you will live happily if you set out to live life for yourself alone. Choose a cause bigger than you are and work at it in a spirit of excellence. It will become a part of you as you see your goals through to the end. Measure success not by what you’ve done, but what you could do.

Nowadays, many people complain to their poor achievements in study. Some are eager to know others’ secrets to succeed, thinking that they should have mastered some specially ability in study. In fact, only by practising a lot can we become skillful at doing nothing. Do you know why a baby learns to speak? He practised his mother tongue day and night and finally becomes fluent in them. So we should well remember that there is no such a shortcut. No one can become an expert without practising a lot. We should bear the hardships in our study, then we can enjoy the fruits of our efforts.
