Directions :Read the texts from a magazine section called“Letters”in which five people wrote about on-line shopping. For questions 36 -40, match the name of each person to one of the statements(A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Jennifer:In your article about online shopping being the newest and easiest way to shop, you said thatcomputers will replace shopping malls sooner or later because they make buying things faster andcheaper. But don' t you think that the entire point of shopping is to spend leisure time with friendswhile doing something necessary. Shopping is not just a quick task. It is, in fact, an entire way oflife.Paul:I am a great collector of all manner of hard-to-find items such as out-of-print books and antiques. Purchasing in physical stores would mean round-the- world travel and years of effort. I can get the same result in a few hours on eBay, and often at bargain prices. I am quite well-off, butbuy very few consumer items available in regular shops. I have many friends and acquaintances with the same approach.Mike:My wife buys online often. I have not heard complaints or dissatisfaction. She can compare with different online vendors' prices after she has decided what she wants. It' s delivered to the door, a big time savings and gas savings. If I need something, I check online first and see what it costs and then decide where to buy, local stores or online. Online has the advantage most of the time.Henry:Virtually all online stores make you register. But, I don't need another usermame and pass word to remember. I will only buy online if I cannot find something locally. Even though shipping is fast, I' d rather drive across town and pay more to be able to bring home a new gadget the same day. And, most of the time, there is no difference in price between local stores and online stores.Jeff:If you think the prices are the same online as they are locally, you' re dealing with the wrong online retailers. I' m an online shopping veteran and I always save quite a bit on my large-dollar purchases. With a little research experience, I've easily saved thousands of dollars over the last several years. Besides, shipping on most items is reasonable and you don't even pay taxes 99.9% of the time.Now match the name of each person (36- 40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Jennifer[ A] I'll buy online only when I have to.37. Paul[B] You can enjoy steep discounts with most online sellers.38. Mike[C] I do buying on or off line depending on what suits me.39. Henry[D] Shopping is not only a necessary task but a sociable pleasure.40. Jeff[ E] Online selling helps to satisfy my special needs in buying.[F] Buying online is far from being as good as it is boasted to be.[G] Buying online can save you a lot only if you find the right online sellers.

Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36 -40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A- G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Richard:I've always viewed tipping as a way of saying“thank you" to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service, the higher the tip. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than l0% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy“ A.”My assessment is honest.Daniel:A tip is a “thank you,” but in truth，a tip is payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Servers deserve it for their hard work. Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a server' s total income. Those tips are needed for survival. So, before servers are paid a living wage," tip 20% .Kate:Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20% , but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $ 5 ,500 a month. Enough above minimum wage? How about miners , construction workers ; resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped?Patricia:18 - 20% for good service is today' s standard. The restaurant and its employees are too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you are wise to eat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional.Michael:Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15%，and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15% , and that' s it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told, “If you can' t afford to tip 20%，then you should eat at home.” If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Richard[ A] It's not polite not to tip.37. Daniel[ B] I do tip, though I don't like it.38. Kate[ C] Tipping shouldn't be compulsory.39. Patricia[ D ] Tips are essential to servers’ survival.40. Michael[ E] If you don't tip, you are punishing the server.[ F] I think tipping standard today is too high.[ G] Better service means higher tips.

Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about advertisements aimed at children. For questions 36 -40, match the name of each person to one of the statements ( A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Anne:I really don't think that it' s moral to target children with advertisements, as they are not yet able to distinguish advertising from actual programming in the way adults can. This means that advertising aimed at children is misleading and unfair. It is also clearly effective, as otherwise advertisers would not spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year targeting children who are not yet able to resist their sales pitch.John:Advertising aimed at children brings negative social consequences， as much of it is for foodand drinks that are unhealthy. Encouraging naive children to consume so much fatty ，sugary andsalty food is morally wrong because it creates overweight, unhealthy youngsters, with bad eating habits that will be with them for life. Society may pay a high price in terms of the extra medical care such children will eventually require.Lily: .I think banning advertisements is a severe restriction upon freedom of speech. Companies should be able to tell the public about any legal products, or innovation will be restricted and new companies will find it hard to market their products successfully in the face of established rivals. Children also have a human right to receive information from a wide range of sources and make up their own minds about it.Ross:Children naturally like foods that are rich in fats and sugar. They give them the energy they need to play energetically and grow healthily. It is true that eating only such foods is bad for people，but this is a problem of bad parenting rather than the fault of advertising. If advertising to children were banned, then governments would not be able to use this means of promoting healthy eating.Julia:Children are not naive innocents，but clever consumers who can distinguish at a very young age between advertisements and programs, and understand that advertisements can be misleading. This essential learning process is, in fact, developed through exposure to advertisements. It is alsoassisted by responsible parenting that does not just leave children alone in front of the television, but spends some time watching with them and discussing what is seen.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Anne [A] Parents' bad lifestyle influences their children.37. John [B] It's not right to ban advertisements.38. Lily [C] kids' bad eating habits are the fault of advertisements39. Ross [D] Children are easily misled by advertisements.40. Julia [E] Watching TV advertisements is a process of learning for kids.[F] It's time to ban advertisements aimed at children.[G] Advertisements aimed at children may bring trouble to society.

For questions 36 - -40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on Your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls, l was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so manyof my own feelings. I don't think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any waybecause I feel like this. I think it' s really normal and I love the way you have put into words whatso many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving , thoughtful, and the endingis wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents.It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings, and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that mymother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps，I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in.Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I feltsad that 1 had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. l feel protectivetowards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth:I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother doesnot compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feelhappy for them.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Lucy[A] You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me.37. Anna[B]It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings.38. Beth[C] Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters.39. Clare[D] I understand my mother now, being a mother myself.40. Ruth[E] You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say.[F] Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your daughter.[G] A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.John:One of the main differences between a man' s and a woman' s body is that men are generallyless capable of bending their body than women. You may think it is not important whether yourbody can bend easily or not, but it is. Stretching your muscles regularly will help you to movemore effectively. It can also help you to stay injury-free，relax your muscles and in turn reducestress.Mike:Doing uninterrupted sessions may make you feel like you are doing the best thing for yourbody. But not giving yourself a break between workouts will mean that you will burn out , and domore harm than good. You should be taking a day off from exercising every two to three days as aminimum ideally. Taking a rest will mean that when you train again you can train harder.Paul:Lots of men fall into the trap of thinking that in order to be better and achieve more, they have to perform all of their exercises at a super fast pace. Although it' s true for some exercises, for others this is just not the case. Take weight lifting for example. When lifting slowly, you can increase the amount of time your muscles are tense for and increase the blood flow.David:Some men are terrible for sticking to the same fitness routine, but doing different types of fitness activities means that you work different parts of your body, and by doing this you improveyour core strength and your balance. It is often difficult for most men to try new things. If you don't want to go into a fitness class on your own, take a friend with you.Helen:Women seem to be much better than men at taking a different approach to fitness. They engage physically and mentally with their fitness programs, which has many health benefits. One is that your stress levels can decrease. And some practices of this approach, such as Tai Chi, can improve bone health. To take advantage of these health benefits , find what suits you best from among the many different fitness techniques that are out there.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36.

David[D ] Men should take intense sessions frequently.40.

Directions :Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in responseto an article on the issue of praising. For questions 36 -40，match the name of each person to oneof the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.Mike:Praise often and sincerely - it' s as simple as that. Employees want to feel needed and appreciated. By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you'll go far in creating an energetic team. Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that “to. focus on what needs improving isn’t good management.” In fact, it's the balance of praise along with constructive criticism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher .Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood，especially for the new generationof workers, my generation. We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark towork. My generation needs respect in return from our employee，we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it’ s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job.Joyce:One skill missing in today' s workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships.At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback.“How am I doing?” is a question that should be answered consistently. When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader- -build skills, provide feedback and help the employee grow and develop.Ellen:I don't see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is anentirely different story). It's a cost-free “benefit”, if you will, in that it allows employees to seethat their efforts are both noticed and valued. In the work world there are always people availableto tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told thatthey’ve done something right!Diana:Praise What the employee did. Be specific about why it was helpful. An employee who continually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior.Meaningful praise encourages people beyond anything else. Written comments are available for later review. They give them confidence that they can“do it again.” I never regretted praising anemployee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity.Now match the name of each person (6l to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36. Mike[A] Praise combined with criticism is helpful.37. Frank[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior .38. Joyce[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept insincere praise.39. Ellen[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised.40. Diana[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise.[F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis.[G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me.

Mark your answers on 4NSWER SHEET.Helen Smith:What better way to start off my senior year in high school than by reading something I am entirely familiar with? I couldn’t have described this online revolution any better. The expansion of Facebook and its continuing success make me more interested in the world of computers and web design and the career choices they offer. Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg, for “poking” me into Facebook.Kevin Stuart:Rather than seeing Facebook as the hottest connection tool, I think it' s more like the latest way to make an already impersonal world even more impersonal. How sad that our society is so isolated that we need a computer to “connect” with others. No, thanks! I' m going to continue hanging out on the street corner , and hope someone builds a village square someday. Now, there’s a radical idea !Robert Meyer :Isn't it a contradiction that so many Americans criticize the government measures for national security purposes as an invasion of privacy when many of these same people feel free to lay bare their private lives to public exposure on Facebook? Perhaps it reveals shallow minds or shallow lives. Or worse, does it reveal a lack of concern about the security of our country? Sad indeed.James Brown:I eagerly returned from vacation so I could see my nieces who were home from college ,only to find them with their“ faces”in Facebook almost all day. They no longer communicate much with others fare to face. No more hanging out at someone' s home. I wonder what effect this societal isolation will have on all of us. l hope this isn't a trend,I remember all the fun face-to-face contact used to be.Laura Lee:I love email. I live and die by Google .but l will never understand the appeal of Facebook and its vast community of friends. In fact. I' m rather shocked. There are thousands out there who would like to be your friend and demand your time: they' re called books. Pick one up. Life is short. Save your few real friendships for coffee over at Starbucks or invest yourself in a local cause that will form meaningful , lifelong relationships.Now match the name of each person (36 -40 ) to the appropriate statement.Note :there are two extra statements.Statements36. Helen Smith [A]Facebook has built up my confidence in my study.37. Kevin Stuart [B] Facebook raises individual awareness of privacy protection.38.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Martin:I work not because I like it but that I have to, so I often count the minute until stopping work or holidays. However, my sister is totally different. She enjoys her work so much that she often spends extra time on her job even takes work home with her. I think she is so crazy about work just as some people are about drugs or alcohol. I could hardly understand it.Joseph:Work is a core element of our lives. It gives us a sense of identity in the larger world outside the personal circle of family and friends. However, there are some people for whom work occupies an even more central place in their lives. Workaholics are a stereotype of modern life，and they are both praised and criticized. On the one hand, it may be the accepted way of earning promotion. On the other hand, workaholics are often viewed as neglecting aspects of life such as family and leisure that are important for maintaining a healthy equilibrium.Malcolm:In cities，workaholism is so common that people do not regard it unusual. I think workaholicsprefer to work rather than do anything else because they don't know how to kill time if they don’twork. They can only get pleasure from work. Work is everything for them.Emily:Workaholism is dangerous in a sense because it can cause some problems. First of all, workaholics often have health problems because they don't have time to relax and keep themselves occupied all the tine. Secondly, their family life is not happy since they spend little time with their family. Their marriage may even end in divorce.Linda:Being a workalolic can mean you achieve great things, but more people achieve great thingswithout being addicted to work. Workaholics need time away from work and when I say “ away from” I mean psychologically distanced from from it as well as physically. If you are still obsessing with work you should be focused on your loved ones or an outsides of work activity then you are still basically working.Now match the 1 of each person (36 -40) to with the appropriate statement.Note There are TWO statements.Statements36.
