It was Thanksgiving morning and in the ?33 ??（crowd）kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey ?34 ???the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet wit h heavy snow.
“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served
??35 ?????cocoa and bread to fight ??36 ??the cold outside. Then I went back to ?37 ??kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.”Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food ?38 ??supply. They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me ??39 ???I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

When US’ Duke University second-year student Christian Drappi sees someone using a Square (an ??41 ??payment service) credit card reader, he pulls out his phone, takes a picture and uploads it to Twitter. “It kind of spreads like wildfire through Twitter,” said Drappi, who is a campus brand representative for Square.
Companies are __42__ using college campus brand representatives to spread the word about their products. These representatives often rely on word-of-mouth tools like social media to __43__ the company and any promotional events they host.
Though the brand representative is no stranger to the college marketing scene, social media are changing how these representatives __44__ with students of their same age and how effectively their message is communicated. Companies like Red Bull, Microsoft and Twitter all have campus representatives __45__ to spreading good news about the brand.
“Campus representatives approach students groups, local merchants and other prospective users to demonstrate how the card reader works and its advantages over __46__ machines.” Adam Bassett, who runs the Square U program said.
Cord Silverstein, executive vice president of interactive communications at the Raleigh advertising agency Capstrat, said, “Social media have made it easier than ever for college students to share opinions on a product with their friends. Someone’s friend, someone they respect, like a student or a professor, these people are having much greater influence on what college students think, like and don’t like, because they ??47 ?their opinions.”
When looking at representative applications, McCarthy, who heads the campus representative program for Square, said the company looks for __48__ students who are social-media understanding. “Three or four years ago, brand representatives on campus were a(n) __49__ idea. Now companies have them everywhere. There’s only so much mindshare to capture.” McCathy ?50 ???.

????The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the ??51 ??roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n)???52 ??buyer with various inducements (引誘) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,
??53 ?, is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the
??54 ??relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant ??55 ??decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will ?5?6 ??such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as ??57 ?.
This is particularly ??58 ??in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the ??59 ??for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are ??60 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the ??61 ??represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the ??62 ??for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally???63 ??most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a ??64 ??role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care ??65 ??are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.
51. ???A. peculiar ????B. normal ?????C. minor D. vital
52. ??A. eager ?B. potential ??C. overseas ???D. reluctant
53. ???A. moreover ?B. therefore ??C. however ???D. instead
54. ???A. ordinary ???B. permanent C. stable D. intense

??When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the?summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
?????It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
?????"Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint." She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered?all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my?house, we painted bit stripes (條紋) of colors across the pavement (人行道). Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
?????The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was?my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from?the look on my mother's face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
?????My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, "What in the world?were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors' trees, but this! Come inside right now!" I stood there glaring hack at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted
(侮辱) my art.
?????"Now go clean it up!" Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
?????Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when?I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow?to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. ?

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守時(shí)) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive?at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
69:The passage is mainly about ________.
A．communication types
B．the workplace atmosphere
C．customs and social manners
D．living conditions and standards
70:Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A．They put efficiency in the first place.
B．They dislike face-to-face communication.
C．They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D．They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
71:In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A．When greeting seniors.
B．When meeting the host alone.
C．When attending a presentation.
D．When dining with business partners.
72:In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?
A．In Brazil. B．In Singapore.
C．In the United Arab Emirate. D．In Switzerland.

They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoner's
Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The?students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain?equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher.
Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation.
The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that
rewarded it the least. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.
The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on
violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than, eight hundred?children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were?ages five to nine.
The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs of the younger children who were not spanked?were five points higher than?those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points. The more they are spanked,?the slower their mental development. ?
73. What might be the best title for the text? ?
A. The Best Way to Correct Misbehavior.
B. Punishment Is the Best Way of Education.
C. Cooperation Is the Most Successful Behavior.
D. Punishment or Reward: Which Works Better on Behavior?
74. What does the underlined word "spanked" refer to? ?
A. punished.
B. blamed.
C. tested.
D. praised. ?
75. According to the passage, the researchers may agree the best way to influence behavior?is ????
A. rewarding good behavior B. correcting bad behavior
C. punishing badly-behaved children D. praising?well-behaved children
76. The author develops the passage??????.
A. in order of time B. in order of importance
C. by describing his experiences D. by using illustrations and statistics
