Do you know anything about 51 ?" Then he stood me before a 52 and asked me to broadcast an 53 game. The preceding autumn, my team had won a game in the last 20 seconds with a 65-yard run. I did a 15-minute build-up to that play, and Peter told me I would be broadcasting Saturday's game!
On my way home, as I have many times since, I 54 of my mother's words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment. " I often 55 what direction my life might have taken if I’d got the job at Montgomery Ward.

The man from the west stopped and drew back his arm.. "You’re not Jimmy Wells," he said in a quick and angry way, "Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to pug." "It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man, "you’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Silky Bob. Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and phones us she wants to have a word with you. Going quietly, are you? That’s sensible. Now before we go to the station here’s a note I was asked to hand you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from Patrolman Wells." The man from the West opened the little piece of paper handed him. His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he finished. The note was rather short. Bob: I was at the right place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn’t do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man (便衣) to do the job.

Nowadays，most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35，and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet，the figure is below 30．People in this age bracket(阶层) are known as Generation-X，which is made up of those born between 1963 and 1981(i. e. those aged between 17 and 35)．Compared with those born from 1946 to 1960，Generation-X are typically independent, they also have their shortcomings．Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage．Although willingness and enthusiasm(热情)are highly valued by Generation-X，they will not accept orders blindly．In short，Generation-X will not accept authoritarian(权力主义) leadership．They expect their leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job， and most importantly，to treat them as an important member of them-as partners．
As a result, managing Generation-X employees is not only a science but also an art．There are basic guidelines to follow in managing them and helping them perform at their best：
1．Support them in their quest(追求)for knowledge skills；
2．Room for creativity and failure：
3．Provide frequent and timely feedback(反馈)；
4．Provide communication channels
If managers follow these basic guidelines，they may find that the employees they once considered as young， selfish and uncontrollable turn out to be responsible， energetic team players．
60．Generation-X in this article refers to the group of people who are______．
A．educated employees below the age of 35 B．young hard-working workers in factories
C．disliked by the managers D．born after the year of 1963
61．From the article we know that the writer ______．

C．has a perfect understanding of Generation-X
D．suggests that the managers be strict with Generation-X
62．Employers often complain about Generation-X because ______．

D．warn them that they may lose jobs at any time
C
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,”says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
64.How do you understand ‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to communicate,6…’？
A. People don’t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
65.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
66. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
a. Point 1. b. Point2. c. Point3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.
A. c, d B. a, e C. a, c D. b, e
67.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through________ .
A. the TV screen B. a fax machine
C. the phone line hooked up to the computer D. a microphone
68.The best heading for the passage is___________ .
A. phone Power B. Kinds of Phone
C. how to Use Phones D. Advantage of Phones
D
I never realized that bureaucratism (官僚主义) hated criticism so much until I myself was taught a good lesson by some bureaucrats.
One sunny morning, I went to a high－level organization to report on some business. Once in the office, I found the man in charge busy and about to leave. “Wait a minute, please. You are the comrade I was told I must see.” I walked closer to the chief.
“Sorry, I’m busy now,” the reply was polite but firm.
“Would you please spare me just a few minutes? I came from a great distance and it’s not easy for me to pay another visit here in a short time.”
“Then come when you can,” now a chief’s tone (语气), very businesslike.
“Just take a look at this paper. One minute is enough.”
“But I don’t even have one minute, no, not one single minute.”
“Then I must come back again?”
“Right, you must.”
“You are practicing bureaucratism!” I lost control of my temper that had been suppressed (压抑) since I entered the office.
“Good criticism,”the chief smiled and left.
That was “bad” criticism, bad for me, as later I was told that my report was turned down. I was beaten by bureaucratism.
I learned the lesson: bureaucratism hates criticism. It seems that I need to learn more about the battle against that ugly social evil (弊病).
69. From the passage we can see _____.
A. the man in charge had a good temper B. the writer was a bad－tempered person
C. the man in charge didn’t lose temper D. the writer avoided losing his temper
70. The chief smiled and said “Good criticism”. This really shows _____.
A. he was open to the writer’s criticism B. his patience and politeness
C. his false politeness D. he didn’t mind much though the writer lost temper
71. The report was turned down only because _____.
A. the writer wouldn’t come back again B. the chief was hurt by his criticism
C. the writer didn’t make it clear to him D. the report itself was worthless
E
In 1986, Willie Mays was paid $ 125,000 to play baseball, but the $ 80,000 a year earned by Babe Ruth, the homerun king of the early 1930’s, went a great deal farther．The two men paid greatly different amounts for federal taxes and consumer goods．Read what Dr Lawrence Ritter had to say on this matter．Dr Ritter is chairman of the department of finance（财政）at New York University’s graduate school of business．
“On his $ 80,000 Ruth paid $ 11,500 in federal income taxes, giving him a takehome pay of $ 68,500．On his $ 125,000 Mays paid a federal income tax of $ 73,000, leaving $ 52,000 in take-home pay．In addition, consumer prices today are about 2．2 times as high as they were in 1931．At today’s prices, Mays’ $ 52,000 take home bay would buy what $ 23,000 would have bought in 1931．In terms of purchasing power, Mays’ Salary was worth only about one-third of Ruth’s．”
72．The best title for this passage is ______．
A．Poor Willie B．Rich Babe C．Rising Price D．Too Much Tax
73．Which of the following is true?
A．Ruth had bigger salary． B．Mays got more take-home pay．

74．Mays’ federal income tax is ______ higher than Ruth’s．
A．14．4% B．58．4% C．44% D．16．8%
75．From the passage we can conclude that ______．
A．the United States is getting richer and richer
