A
In the age of
reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can
also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of
Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.
The idol is a civil engineering student at
the
Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking (搖擺) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well.
Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it
this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at
the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely
unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of
So, what does Hung think of this?
“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”
Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.
41. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly.
B. Hung’s performance attracted the public eye.

able to win the hearts of

Believe it or not, optical illusion (錯覺) can cut highway crashes.
Now the American Automobile Association
Foundation for Traffic Safety in
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest―curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
44. The passage mainly discusses ___________.
A. a new way of highway speed control
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers
D. a new type of optical illusion
45. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that __________.
A. they could avoid speed-related hazards
B. they are driving in the wrong lane
C. they should slow down their speed
D. they are approaching the speed limit
46. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former __________.
A. can keep drivers awake
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will have a longer effect on drivers
D. will look more attractive
47. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to __________.
A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B. change the road signs across the country
C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat the Japanese road patterns

New technology links the world as never
before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are
only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our
ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly
enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with
this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing
respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets,
success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
Overseas assignments
are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The
executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight
and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to
the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany
an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment
overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope
back in the

relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even
small businesses in the
English is still the
international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for
people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally
required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate
the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
52. What is the
author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?
A. Critical. B.
Indifferent. C.
Negative. D.
Positive.
53. With the increased use of high-tech
communications equipment, business people_________.
A. have to get familiar with modern technology
B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations
C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business
D. are eager to work overseas
54. In this
passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means _________.
A. being unable to think properly for
lack of insight
B. being totally out of touch with business at home
C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad
D. leaving all care and worry behind
55. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?
A. Connections with businesses overseas. B. Ability to speak the client’s language.
C. Technical know-how. D. Business experience.
56. The advantage
of employees having foreign language skills is that they can__________.
A. better control the whole negotiation
process
B. easily find new approaches to meet market needs
C. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters
D. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad

It’s very interesting to note where the
debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in
political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top
corporate（公司的）leaders; none of
them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity.
In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village
and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that
the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of
potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at
where the population is shifting, corporate
Likewise, I don’t hear people in the
academy saying, “Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we
had a meritocracy（不拘一格選人才） “(which was
never true --- we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in
the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in
57. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on
diversity?
A. Minorities. B.
Politicians. C.
Professors. D. Managers.
58. High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so
as to _________.
A. lower the rate of unemployment
B. win equal political rights for minorities
C. be competitive in the world market
D. satisfy the demands of a growing
population
59. It can be
inferred from the passage that __________.
A. meritocracy can never be realized without
diversity
B. American political circles will not accept
diversity
C. it is unlikely that diversity will occur
in the U.S. media
D. minorities can only enter the fields where
no debate is heard about diversity.
60. According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society
by ________.
A. expanding the pool of potential employees
B. promoting policies that provide skills to
employees
C. training more engineers, scientists,
lawyers and business managers
D. providing education for all
regardless of race or sex

A boy who was cleaning the shoes in the street said to a young man passed by,“Let me clean your boots. It just spends you only a penny.”But the man refused. Then the boy told him that he will clean his boots for nothing. The man agreed, and soon one of the boot shone brightly. Then he put the other boot on the box, and the boy refused to clean it if he was paid two pence for his work. The young man refused pay anything and went away.

To all the students；
Recycling textbooks is very common in some western countries. It has
been proved an effective way in some countries, like
We ought to recycle textbooks as a way of environmental protection. For one thing, recycling textbooks can not only save natural resources such as wood, but also save lots of expenses for our parents. For another, the notes on the textbooks, made by senior students are of much help to those who want to reuse the books. To sum up, recycling textbooks is both useful and helpful. It will do a lot of good to both the government and students' families.
So we hope all the students can donate our used textbooks. Remember---everyone’s effort counts.
