"For a long time, I was determined not to tell anyone about it," said Gumpel, 85 years old, 1 finally settled in Minnesota after the war and now lives in the Twin Cities. She told people that she and her two sisters were among 669 Jewish(犹太的) children 2 (save) by a kind man to escape from the Nazi concentration camp(纳粹集中营) in 1939. Their rescuer was a British businessman named Nicholas Winton, who also kept 3 story to himself until his wife found a list of the children's names. Gumpel was shocked in 1988 when the 4 _ (true) about Winton's one-man rescue operation finally came out. "Nobody knew that he actually did all by 5 ," she said. "He worked so hard to save lives." Winton still doesn't think that he's a hero, arguing that his life was never 6 danger and that he was doing 7 he feels every person should do. A party was held for him and the people he'd saved. Gumpel was 8 (excite) when she finally met him. "He still 9 (treat) us all like we're his kids," she said 10 a warm smile on the face. |

| Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home. What to Expect The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health. Accommodation Zones Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground. Meal Plans Available * Continental Breakfast * Breakfast and Dinner * Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee. Friends If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy. Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much. |

| John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and took great interest in the notes in the margin(页边空白). The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. During the following years the two grew to know each other through the mail. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. Later they scheduled their first meeting-7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me, " she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose. A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue. Almost uncontrollably he made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he split(裂开) in two, so keen was his desire to follow the girl, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly accompanied him and upheld his own. He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said to the woman, "I'm John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman smiled, "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!" |

| When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate? Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear. Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with his emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation. Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which they are recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life of most people. The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotiona l intelligence-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills. |
| 1. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when ________. |
| A. he is forced to do things B. he can't work at his best C. he feels his brain shut down D. he thinks of his work too heavy |
| 2. Which of the following is true according to the passage? |
| A. People tend to associate leadership with fear. B. Working conditions affect people's physical health. C. Good relationship is the key to business success. D. Smart people are more functional in the work place. |
| 3. To positively influence employees, a leader should first of all ______. |
| A. provide better suggestions B. develop his own personality C. give his employees a pay rise D. hide his own emotion of fear |
| 4. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to ______. |
| A. provide a variety of projects for employees B. help raise employees' living conditions C. give employees special instructions D. deal wisely with employees' emotions |
| 5. This passage is mainly about ______ |
| A. not forcing others to do things B. how to develop your emotional intelligence C. how to be a good leader D. how to influence people |

| Economics has long been known as an unpleasant science. But is any economist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those who are concerned with such things as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending; in America, sellers make 25 % of their yearly sales and 60 % of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made. Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the giver's thinking of something that the receiver would like - he tries to guess her preferences, as economists say - and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may not be what the receiver would have bought if they had spent the money themselves. Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale University, attempted to estimate the disparity(差距) in dollar terms. He asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the emotional value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were unpleasant: on average, a gift was valued by the receiver well below the price paid by the giver. The most conservative(保守的) estimate put the average receiver's valuation at 90% of the buying price. The missing 10% is what economists call a deadweight loss(无谓损失)because it's a waste of resources that could be avoided without making anyone poorer. In other words, if the giver gave the cash value of the purchase instead of the gift itself, the receiver could then buy what he/she really wants and be better off for no extra cost. It suggests that in America, where givers spend $40 billion on Christmas gifts, $ 4 billion is being lost annually in the process of gift giving. Add in birthdays, weddings and non Christian occasions, and the figure would balloon. So should economists call for an end to gift giving, or at least press for money to become the gift of choice? |
| 1. Why do some people regard the holiday season in western economies a treat? |
| A. Because the economic situation in US has been depressing. B. Because American sellers make a quarter of their yearly sales through holiday seasons. C. Because holiday spending can speed up GDP growth. D. Because sellers can make as much profit as 60 % every holiday season. |
| 2. What's the main idea for the second paragraph? |
| A. In many cases the gifts cannot meet the receivers' needs. B. The purchases made over holiday season are actually a waste of money. C. It's really not easy to guess the others' preferences. D. Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. |
| 3. The purpose of Joel Waldfogel's study is to _____. |
| A. prove the mismatch between wants and gifts B. estimate the disparity (差距) between wants and gifts in economic terms C. spark new ideas of economic studies on holiday spending D. discover the exact cost of holiday spending on gift giving |
| 4. Economists think of the misusing 10% of holiday spending as a deadweight loss because_______. |
| A. the cash value of the purchase is lower than the buying price B. it is actually a waste of resources in economic terms C. with the money the givers can be better off for no extra cost D. it makes many people even poorer for spending more on unwanted gifts |
| 5. According to the passage altogether how much money is wasted every year on gift giving? |
| A. About $4 billion. B. About 10% of the total value. C. About $40 billion. D. Much more than $4 billion. |

When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. The next day he handed it in to the teacher. On the front was a large red F. He asked, "Why did I receive an F?" The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant(四处奔波的)family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud (种马) fees. There's no way you could ever do it." He stated, "You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream." The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on Monty's ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, "Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Fortunately you had enough belief not to give up on yours."
