1. Questions27-57are Based on the following passage.
　　One airline chief executive officer (CEO) was the master of the personal touch. Spending hours with his employees and getting, to know their joBs, he persuaded them to accept pay cuts in return for an ownership stake. The concession put the company so solidly in the Black that the CEO was aBle to sell it for $ 860 million．Another CEO scolded managers in front of others, cut one third of the work force and so emBittered the survivors that his airline Began to lose money, and the Board of directors fired him.
　　In any test of knowledge or IQ, the two CEOs would have dueled to a draw. The difference was their aBility to handle relationships, argues Daniel Goleman in Iris new Book, Working With E- motional Intelligence. Building on his 1995 Bestseller, Emotional Intelligence, Goleman now proBes how EI relates to the world of work．As he did in his earlier Book, Goleman masterfully ex- plains how a low EI hinders people's full intellectual potential By flooding the Brain with stress hormones that impair memory, learning and thinking. The heart of the Book, though, is an analysis of data collected from more than 150 firms on what distinguishes so-so performers from superstars. Goleman's findings : conventional intelligence takes second position to emotional intelligence in determining joB performance. In joBs ranging from repairman to scientist, IQ accounts for no more than 25 percent of the difference Between, say, a successful high-tech entrepreneur and a failed one. In another surprise, the contriBution of IQ shrinks and the contriBution of EI rises with the difficulty of a joB and how high it ranks in an organization. Based on traits that companies say distinguish winners from losers, Goleman concludes that EI carries much more weight than IQ in deter- mining success at the top.
　　However, the many examples of CEOs and other people in top positions who have the emotional intelligence of a snake -- But still were CEOs -- undermine the case for EIs indispensaBility in Business. But even if you accept that EI determines who excels, you have to wonder if it should. Goleman descriBes how 112 entry-level accountants were judged more or less successful By their Bosses according to their level of EI rather than their actual skill. No wonder so many auditors fail to notice cooked Books.
According to Goleman, the Biggest difference Between the two CEOs descriBed in the first paragraph lies in__________
A．their attitude toward their employees
B．their emotional intelligence
C．their conventional intelligence
D．their Business strategy

Build up Your Vocabulary
Exactly what do you do during a normal day? How do you spend your time? Paul T. Rankin very much wanted an answer to that question To get it, he asked sixty-eight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. When he consolidated his findings, he discovered that the average individual spent 70 percent of his waking time doing one thing only communication. That meant either reading, writing, speaking or listening.
　　Put that evidence alongside of the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories. In exploring aptitudes and careers involving, among other things, data from 30,000 vocabulary tests given yearly, they discovered that big incomes and big vocabularies go together. Vocabulary, more than any other factors yet known, predicts financial success.
　　And it all fits. Each word you add to your vocabulary makes you a better reader, writer, speaker and listener. Furthermore, linguistic scientists are quick to point out that we actually think with words. If that is so, new words make us better thinkers as well as communicators. No wonder more words are likely to mean more money. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary?
　　Take reading. What exactly do you read? Common sense says you read words. Research confirms that fact. "Vocabulary in context" contributes 39 percent to comprehension. That's more than any other factor isolated and studied even more than intelligence. And "word in parts" contributes more to speed of reading than any other factor. In short, your efforts to improve vocabulary will pay off in both comprehension and speed.
Suppose, as you're reading along, you come across a strange word lumtebs.
　　Did you find yourself stopping for a closer look at lumtebs? Pardon the spelling slip. That's actually the word stumble (偶然发现).
　　The letters just got mixed around. Obviously you now know that strange words do slow you down -- or even stop derstand, "eschew garrulity" or "avoiding talking too much".
　　What you need is a vital, dynamic approach to vocabulary building. Hybrid ( 混合种) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That's why you should use the CPD formula.

6. 根据下列材料请回答{TSE}题：
If you are a male and you are reading this ,congratulations: you are a survivor .According to statistics .you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman ,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average five years before a woman.
There are many reasons for this-typically, men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don't go to the doctor.
“Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should, ” says Dr. Gullotta, “This is particularly so for the over-40s,when diseases tend to strike.”
Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45,it should be at least once a year.
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old ma who had delayed doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year.
“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer” he says, “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged this life”
According to a recent survey, 95%of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
“A lot of men think they are invincible (不可战胜的)”Gullotta says “They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think” Geez, if it could happen to him.
Then there is the ostrich approach,” some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, ” says Dr. Ross Cartmill.
“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups
Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says.” But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”

Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?
A． They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.
B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.
C. They have lived long enough to read this article.
D. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier live.
7. I don’t mind your__________(延期做出) the decision as long as it is not too late.
8. The forecast for rain turned out to be __________ (一场虚惊)．
9. 9. The author believes that we would not be so civilised without ________________________.
