        On Sept.11, 2004, after 35 years, the high school friends were about to find out how nice "nice" could be.

         Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice
    cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
         Thirty years have passed, but Odland can't get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman's kind reaction
    (反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, "It's OK. It wasn't
    your fault." When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500CEO (总裁) with a life lesson:
    You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
         Odland isn't the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the
    land that every CEO learns on the way up. It's hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most
    agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter
    is like a window into the soul.
         Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, "I could buy this p[lace and fir
    you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about
    their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.
         The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote
    a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
         "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says, "I
    will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but rude to someone cleaning the tables."
    1. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman's dress?
    A. He was fired.
    B. He was blamed.
    C. The woman comforted him.
    D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
    2. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _______.
    A. his experience as a waiter
    B. the advice given by the CEOs
    C. an article in Fortune
    D. an interesting best-selling book
    3. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _______.
    A. Fortune 500 companies
    B. the Management Rules
    C. Swanson's book
    D. the Waiter Rule
    4. From the text we can learn that ______.
    A. one should be nicer to important people
    B. CEOs often show their power before others
    C. one should respect others no matter who they are
    D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

         WHO would have thought a man who lived in the Stone Age would be dressed in clothes made in China? A
    thousand-year-old mummy (木乃伊), nicknamed (绰号) Otzi the Iceman was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest
    research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.
         Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved (保存完好的) mummy from about 3,300 BC. He was found in
    1991 in the Otztal Valley in the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut
    and Erika Simon found him when they were climbing.
         Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during WWI but was found to be thousands of years
    older. Analyzing Otzi showed that the items with him were all of different ages. His arrows are 7,000 years
    old, the axe (斧头) belonged to a time hundreds of years later and the skin in which the man was dressed
    originally belonged to a goat that lived in China. Otzi's tattoo (纹身) shows that he might have been a wizard
    (男巫), according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.
         There are still many mysteries surrounding Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse
    (诅咒). It is said that Otzi had mystic powers and those who trouble his dead body will be doomed (注定) to
    die. Otzi has claimed seven people so far. With the death of several people who have touched the remains of
    the ancient man, the "Otzi curse" mystery has snowballed.
    1. In this passage, the writer suggests that ______.
    A. we should not go to the Alps because many people died there

    C. Otzi is an Egyptian mummy, found on the Alps
    D. Otzi is Chinese, because of the clothing he was wearing

    A. people pay their respect to the dead by throwing snowballs
    B. people who have touched Otzi's body have often died shortly after being hit with snowballs
    C. the mystery around the curse gets larger and larger, like a snowball rolling down a hill
    D. Otzi was found buried with many snowballs that scientists agree may have been used
         as weapons in the time when Otzi was alive
    3. In the passage, which of the following statements is NOT mentioned?
    A. Otzi was wearing a jacket, made of the skin of a goat that lived in China.
    B. Helmut and Erika Simon discovered Otzi in the Alps in 1991.
    C. Helmut was the seventh victim of Otzi's curse.
    D. Otzi is said to have mystic powers.
    4. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. The Curse of the Iceman
    B. A Great Discovery
    C. A Well-preserved Mummy
    D. A Man Who Lived in the Stone Age

         When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles (肌肉) get tense, and there are changes
    in the chemicals in its blood-stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as
    possible.
         Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused by other
    emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert (警觉的) and ready
    to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals
    never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said
    something in anger-or hit somebody-and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody
    you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shout? It isn't
    always wise to express your feelings freely.
         Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep your feelings of anger,
    sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop,
    and you can feel disturbed badly inside, it can actually be bad for your health. You can try to treat emotions as
    if they were bananas in the cupboard.
         You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist, but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to
    deal with them, just like those bananas.
    1. By taking cat as an example, the author wants to show us that _______.
    A. animals can't control their feelings
    B. people can't control their feelings
    C. people physical reactions are like those of animals in a way
    D. people's bodies go through many physical changes in certain situations, too.
    2. It's mentioned in the text that human beings get into trouble because ______.
    A. we are not as alert as animals
    B. we sometimes can't control our feelings
    C. we always do something wrong to other people
    D. we don't pay attention to our physical changes
    3. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that ______.
    A. there's no way to deal with our feelings
    B. we should put some bananas in a cupboard when we're angry or scared
    C. feelings will gradually disappear when we hold them in
    D. we should neither express our feelings freely nor hide the bad feelings inside
    4. The author's purpose in writing this article is to _______.
    A. tell us that it's pretty good to keep our feelings inside
    B. give some advice on how to express our feelings freely
    C. make us deal with our feelings in a wise way
    D. make us know it isn't always good to express our feelings freely
