40、 syndrome can be cured Dtell a story of an injured woman during the Second World WarCSam Trafton was my violin teacher and what he said during one of my lessons often came back to me years later.One day he asked me how much I practiced, I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stret

41、ches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, dont,” he shouted. “When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day.”When I was teaching at Boston, I wa

42、nted to write a novel, but for two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Sam had said. During the next week I did an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, a

43、t the end of the week I had finished a chapter. Later on I continued my novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were unoccupied moments that could be caught and put to use.However, you must get into your work quickly. If you have

44、 only five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.Sam Trafton has had a great infl

45、uence on my life. He let me know that life can be counted on to supply you short moments and even very short periods of time can add up to all useful hours you need, if you start without delay .64The underlined part “counted on” can probably be replaced by .Aexpected Badded up to Cconcentrated on De

48、lways heavy 67What is the best title for this passage? AA Little Time at a Time BHow I Became a Writer CConcentrate on Your Work DMy Violin Teacher D1,3,5Recently a lot of managers complain that their employees dont work hard and what they care about is only how much money they can get.How does this

49、 happen? I think it is time for them to think about that seriously now.Shakespeare once said that “some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them”. So it is with leadership. Some persons are born with the ability of leadership. Some gain that art by watching an

50、d studying the actions of those around them. Other persons find themselves forced into special situations which require them to make the best of the resources they never realized they had and events bring out strong leadership. Most of us are never put to such tests. Most of us are not born leaders.

51、We often hear people say, “He is a great fellow to work for.” We see workers try their best to do things for certain managers. We see them carry out instructions cheerfully and well or even add something to the doing of the job which was unexpected. In other words, they put themselves into the job a

52、nd give it their “extra effort” which people give only when they feel that they are part of the team, that they are making a contribution to its success, and that their contributions are understood and appreciated by their managers.However, this is not something which happens naturally or by chance.

53、 It is built on one-to-one relationship. It is a reflection of a persons attitudes toward the job, the manager and the company. Where it exists, it has been developed over a period, as a result of three simple factors: confidence, cooperation and understanding of their manager who understands them,

54、appreciates their efforts and tries to give them all a fair deal.68The author quotes Shakespeares words in order to .Aintroduce the topic of the passage Bstress the importance of good leadershipChelp to describe three different kinds of leaders Dcompare the difference between greatness with leadersh

55、ip 69According to the author, as a manager, you should . Aunderstand and appreciate your workers and their contributions Bmake good use of those workers born willing to work hard for you Ctreat different workers in different ways and different attitudes Dnot only control your workers but understand

56、and appreciate them 70Most people gain the art of leadership because .Athey are born with the ability of it Bthey are always put into some special tests Cthey are much wiser than others Dthey like to watch and study the actions of others 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项

57、。In Asia, there are many places for people to go to teach English. Most of the teachers are young and sociable, and there are a lot of parties there. Korea is usually the place most people go to, because they have the most benefits and highest salaries by working only twenty hours a week. 71 Only if

58、 you stay there for a long time will you save some money.China is a new rising star and lots of people are going there. 72 You can save a sizable amount and complete all your loans back home. Besides, Chinese people are enterprising and you can learn a lot from them. In China, Taiwan is a good place

59、 to go, especially for females who want to earn much, but there are not many adult classes offered.The Middle East offers very high salaries for teachers, all of which is tax free. 73 Most of the people who tend to teach there are older and more conservative, so they dont expect a party scene.Italy

60、and Spain are two beautiful countries where you can try your fortune. 74 Tourism is another industry in these countries, where English knowledge is useful. Moreover, by teaching in Europe you have the chance to travel every weekend to a new country and visit a new culture besides a good salary. 75 A

61、. Europe has a lot to offer.B. It is a great way for people to see a new place.C. Teaching English overseas is a really rewarding experience.D.
