         On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling
    down the windows to let in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she noticed a big bald man running through the parking lot. Before she came to realize what would happen, the man was there,
    shouting through her window, "Get out!"
         Neilson refused.
         Pulling open her door, the man seized her by the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the
    ground. She screamed, grabbing her purse and the keys.
         Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a break, heard the screams and began running .
         When they reached Neilson's car, the attacker had jumped into the driver's seat and was madly
    searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker
    fought back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no match for the two athletic men.
         Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office
    to phone the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes-used to tie up newspapers.
         With his arms tied tight behind him, the prisoner looked up and said coldly, "I hope you guys feel
    good about yourselves-you just caught one of the most wanted men." They ignored him and waited for
    the police. Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker (劫
    车者)and suspected murderer, whose picture-but with a full head of hair-had been recently printed in
    their own newspaper.                                                                                                                              
         Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a
    different ending if those good people had not come to her aid. "Unfortunately," she said, "many people
    would never have done what they did, and that is the real truth."

                                                   2011 Top Education News
    "Tiger Mother" became well known both in the US and China after the publication of the Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua, a professor of Yale University and a Chinese immigrant mother. In the book, Chua describes how she educates her two daughters in a strict "typical Chinese" way. The South University of Science and Technology of China (SUSTC), became "China's first independent university"-the only university to recruit students through its independent exam rather than the National College Entrance Exam adopted by almost all public universities in China.
    Wuhan schoolboy Huang Yibo, 13,known as the deputy chief of all Wuhan's young pioneers, became an overnight sensation after blogging about watching prime time news on China's  Central Television since he was two years old and reading People's Daily since the age of seven because his father asked him to do so. The First Experimental Elementary School of Weiyang district in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, hit the headlines for requiring students with a poor performance to wear a green scarf, distinguishing them from the good performance of the red scarf, a symbol  for  the Young Pioneer organization.
    Dong Fan, a professor from Beijing Normal University, the director of the university's real estate research center, refused to see any of his students who do not possess 40 million yuan by the time they are 40. Dong said people who had received high-level education should be ashamed if they do not live a wealthy life. The No 4 classroom building on the campus of Tsinghua University, one of China's elite colleges, took on the name of a popular clothing company, the Hong Kong-based Jeanswest Clothing in May. A golden-colored plate bearing the name of the company was affixed on to the wall of the teaching building.
    1. How many pieces of the news above have something to do with family education?
    A. 2          
    B. 3          
    C. 4        
    D. 5
    2. Which of the following statements is True according to the news above?
    A. "Tiger Mother" is famous for her book about how she educates her two daughters.
    B.  Students caring about environmental protection will wear a green scarf.
    C.  Tsinghua University became "China's first independent university".
    D.  Huang Yibo began to read People's Daily at the age of two.
    3. We can infer from the news about Dong Fan that _______.
    A. he works hard                  
    B. he spares no efforts to help his students
    C. he tends to measure success by money    
    D. he is a professor of Yale University

         In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer
    satisfaction. Today, customer "delight" is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and
    increase market share.
         It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers
    receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell
    tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are
    handled fairly will stay loyal. 
         New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through
    telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest (投资) a lot
    of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the "phone rage"-caused by
    delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
         "Many people do not like talking to machines," says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City
    University Business School. "Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to
    establish instant and good relationship with then. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you
    and that you can trust them - the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with
    their local branch manager."
         Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying
    that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two) replacing a faulty product
    immediately; throwing in a gift voucher (购物礼券) as an unexpected "thank you" to regular customers;
    and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.
         Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised,
    disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation
    of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, "I know how you must feel"), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).
         Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced
    them at that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for
    customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
         For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of
    calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their names, job title and
    a "we are here to help" attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure
    that information is available instantly on screen.
         British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are
    taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
    Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as
    "we do as we please". On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of
    disappointment.
    1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.
    A. complaining customers are hard to satisfy
    B. unsatisfied customers receive better service
    C .satisfied customers catch more attention
    D. well-treated customers promote business
    2. The writer mentions "phone rage"(Paragraph 3)to show that ________.
    A. customers often use phones to express their anger
    B. people still prefer to buy goods online
    C. customer care becomes more demanding
    D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services
    3. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight?
    A. Calling customers regular.
    B. Giving a "thank you "note.
    C. Delivering a quicker service.
    D. Promising more gifts.
    4. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would be probably said?
    A. "I know how upset you must be."
    B. "I appreciate your understanding."
    C. "I'm sorry for the delay."    
    D. "I know it's our fault."
    5. Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.
    A. their telephone style remains unchanged
    B. they are more likely to meet with complaints
    C. the services cost them a lot of money
    D. the policies can be applied to their staff
    6. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?
    A. Face-to -face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.
    B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.
    C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.
    D. Customer delight is more important for air lines then for banks.

        On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron - the one with the race cars all over it. The
    ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone. I'll take care of the
    dishes!" With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper. Off came the suit coat he
    had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad
    did the dishes, singing ballads like "I Had a Hat When I Came In" and "Who Put the Chow in Mrs.
    Murphy's Chowder?"
         I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron - even one with race cars - but I never
    thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My father
    seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.
         "Tommy," he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds
    and the bees? A new bike?  A part-time job?
         "There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities." This was important. I
    might even get to back the car out of the driveway.
         " Responsibilities?" I asked.
         "Yes. It's time you took a greater role in the household." Power tools? Boss my baby brother?
         "Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the
    crossword puzzle together."
         "The dishes!?"
         "Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son?"
          I started to say something about a man's job or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my
    protests would fall on deaf ears.
         I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a jovial mood as he described an
    exceptional Yankee game seen through the eyes of Mel Allen on the radio last night.
         "Mickey Mantle drove the ball right over the center field wall," he said. "Just a straight line climb in
    right out of the stadium." He looked out the window as if trying to pick the ball out of the cloud formations. I tried to imagine Mickey Mantle wearing an apron.
         Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister began to clear the table. My brother was scraping the last
    of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family ritual that had filled so many Sunday mornings came
    to an end. My father announced: "Let's go read the paper, Hon."
         "Aren't you doing the dishes?" my mother asked in puzzlement.
         "Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position."
         My brother and sister stopped cold. So this was what my life had come to. A dark angel sat on my
    left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyone in my class. I could
    bench-press my weight. I knew three declensions in Latin, the language of Caesar. Ask me to run
    through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster - backward. These things I would do. But I
    could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.
         People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the
    kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his
    shirt-ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.
         "I want you to have this, Tommy. It'll keep your clothes from getting wet." And before I could mount
    a protest, he had put the thing on me. "Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this."
         With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the plastic. It had seen better days.
    I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angel flew off. Soon I was singing about Mrs.
    Murphy's chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I
    wanted to be.

    a strong motivation for me to learn life lesson. I've learned a great many things, but these are the lessons
    that I wish I'd learned earlier:
    1. _________
         There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held
    were dashed in the face of another's. This most likely came from a need to please others.Remember that
    your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's, whether they make more money than you or are less
    popular than you. Everyone's opinion holds the same weight.
    2. _________
         Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest - these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I
    had heard someone said bad things behind my back, I'd be angry. Go crazy. Looking back on those
    tantrums now, I'm not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible.The
    lessons here is, remain aware of how you react.
    3. _________
         Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I
    just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me
    wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration.Is there really a point to arguing?
    Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control
    at all.Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them.
    4. _________
         I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do
    what they do for you in your best interest.My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner,
    sweep the floors, mow the lawn, take out the garbage…
    5. _________
         Whenever I'd lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint my parents, I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you don't have to be stuck in bad situations.You can go out and create better ones.It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable, even during the hard times.You aren't stuck. You can move on.
         I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I don't know if any young people are reading this, but if they are, I'd like to say this:"Listen to life and its experiences. Everyone goes through mostly the same things."

         Great changes have been taken place in the way people communicate with each
    other from a long distance. In the past people write letters to exchange informations
    at first and late they could talk with each other in the fixed telephone. Now more and
    more people use our own mobile phones to communicate and instead of writing on
    the paper, they e-mail to each other on the computer. As result , people find it quicker
    and easier to communicate ,and at the same time some people feel that they become
    poor in writing ,and the relationship between each other becomes not so closely as before.
