Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) abo

29、ut being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Sams a being lateserious illness at homehe decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal (解雇) speech.Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at

30、9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sams boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “Im Sam Maynard. Im applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the earl

31、y bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his jobwith the only tool that could wina laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can b

32、e used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, its the only tool that can succeed.

35、rious, the wizard has been an attractive figure in fantasy literature for as long as the type of literature has existed. Their pointed hats, mysterious ways and great deeds are familiar to any reader of fantasy literature. They are our childhood heroes and nightmares, and many of us grew up on stori

36、es full of their adventures. Within the fantasy text, these complex personalities can serve several important roles, taking the part of either the hero, or terrible villain(反面人物)Regardless of the actual role they play within a given story, wizards have several common elements and characteristics tha

37、t are typical of them.Wizards, in fact, are any characters able to control the world around them through superhuman or magical means. The worlds they live vary greatly from novel to novel, but the important characteristics of the character type itself remain more or less the same. One of the great s

38、trengths of the wizard figure is that nearly any type of character can be one. Authors have created wizards out of men and women of all personalities, backgrounds and abilities, but although almost any type of person or character in fantasy literature can be a wizard, those who are have several impo

39、rtant characteristics in common.Wizards in fantasy literature are rarely static（静态的）figures. They are almost always driven by some desire that they use their power to achieve. This is one of the main differences between wizards in fantasy literature and those in the older fairy tales and knightly ep

40、ics that came before fantasy literature. In folk and fairy tales, which are more focused on the adventures of knightly heroes, the wizards often serve as no more than a plotfurthering device, giving the hero a quest to pursue and equipping them for the trials they eventually face. But in fantasy lit

41、erature, the wizards themselves can play the role of hero.59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The role of wizards in fantasy literatureB. Wizards are powerful and mysterious in literatureC. Wizards in fantasy literature and fairy talesD. How to create the personalities of wizards60.

42、From the first paragraph, we can know that_.A. wizards have been considered as frightening figures in fantasy literature for longB. those interested in fantasy literature have different understanding about wizards imageC. children have been considering wizards as their hero or angel in fantasy liter

43、atureD. wizards often wear pointed hats in the eyes of any reader of fantasy literature61. Which of the following is the common characteristic of wizards in fantasy literature?A. They live in the same world. B. They have the same personalities.C. They can control others through magical means. D. The

44、y are always static figures.62. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. In what way are wizards different in fantasy literature and fairy tales?B. Wizards in fantasy literature are more or less the same in different novels.C. The fairy tale type of wizardfigure is more popular among readers.D.

45、The wizards in folk and fairy tales are only a plotfurthering device.CWe can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (i

46、ntroduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (稳定) (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline（衰退）when freeze-dried coffe

47、es were introduced (stage of decline). The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It

48、means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military? Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a differe

49、nt market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may reposition the product to appeal to new market sections. Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto

50、 manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to regain world markets. You can also note how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.63.According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales

51、will _.A. decrease gradually B. remain at the same level C. become unstable D. improve sharply64.The first paragraph tells us that a new product is _.A. not easily accepted by the public B. often inferior to old ones at firstC. often more expensive than old ones D. usually introduced to satisfy diff

52、erent tastes65.Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to _.A. promote its production B. work out marketing policies C. speed up its life cycle D. increase its popularity66.The author mentions the example of “backpacks” (Para.2) to show the importance of _.A. pleasing t

53、he young as well as the oldB. increasing usage among studentsC. exploring new market sections D. serving both military and civil needsDYou never see him, but theyre with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is funct

54、ioning normally. Their ability to withstand（忍受）almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. Theyre known as the black box. When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India Ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best way

55、for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorde

56、r that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the back

57、of the plane the area least subject to(易遭受) pressure from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a

58、 voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of

59、stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. When submerged (淹没的), theyre also able to give signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1st, 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but

60、statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.67. What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner? A. Data for analyzing the cause of the crash. B. The total n

61、umber of passengers on board. C. The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.D. Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.68. Why was the black box redesigned in 1965? A.
