　　The moment he opened the door, I noticed an amazing

　　After leaving the joyful family, I passed the tree and my

　　A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully, and before it blossomed, he

　　48

　　it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom and also the thorns（刺）. And he

　　thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many

　　was ready to bloom, it died.

　　it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like

　　qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at

　　ourselves and see

　　51

　　the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing

　　good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and

　　eventually it dies. We never realize our _ 52

　　.

　　Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to

　　them. One of the greatest gifts a person can

　　53

　　is to be able to reach past the

　　thorns and find the rose within others. This is the

　　54 _ of love, to look at a person,

　　and knowing his faults, recognize the nobility in his soul, and help him realize that he

　　can overcome his faults. If we show him the rose, he will

　　55

　　the thorns. Then

　　will he blossom, blooming forth thirty, sixty, a hundred-fold as it is given to him.

　　Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you're satisfied

　　with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives?

　　Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded

　　there are two basic styles. "Maximizers" like to take their time and weigh a wide

　　range of options - sometimes every possible one - before choosing. "Satisficers"

　　(combination of the word "satisfice" and "satisfy") would rather be fast than

　　thorough.

　　"Maximizers are people who want the best. Satisficers are people who want good

　　enough," Barry Schwartz, a professor said. In 2014, he and his colleagues followed

　　548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools; they found that the maximizers landed

　　better jobs. Their starting salaries were, on average, 20 percent higher than those of

　　the satisficers, but they felt worse about their jobs. "The maxinuzer is kicking himself

　　because he can't examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,"

　　Schwartz says. "Maximizers make good decisions and end up feeling bad about them.

　　Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good."

　　Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers, he gays.

　　Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his

　　research found.

　　Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time

　　and energy on our decision-making, says Jane C. Hu in Slate online magazine.

　　64. What is the inappropriate description of a maximizer in the passage?

　　A. They will spend a large amount of time choosing among numerous options.

　　B. They are capable of hunting for a better job and receiving a higher salary.

　　C. They can make good decisions and never feel any regrets about them.

　　D. They are more likely to get involved in a frustrating situation.

　　65. According to the text, the satisficers are happier because

　　.

　　A. they keep a positive attitude

　　B. they are born optimistic

　　C. they have a lower standard towards life

　　D. they are unable to examine every choices

　　66. What will the following paragraph talk about?

　　A. decreasing your range of options for a decision.

　　B. cheering yourself up before reaching a decision

　　C. setting practical standards for satisfaction.

　　D. avoiding the influence of others when making decisions.

　　67. The passage is mainly developed by

　　.

　　A. showing examples

　　B. making comparison

　　C. analyzing causes

　　D. following the time order

　　We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of

　　instant（速溶） coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as

　　"regular" coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction

　　stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many

　　brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became

　　attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight

　　decrease when freeze dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).

　　The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in

　　the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so

　　that sales and profits do not drop. One strategy is called market modification. It means

　　that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for

　　example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally

　　designed for the soldiers?

　　Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present

　　customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may

　　re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.

　　Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves

　　changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from

　　present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one

　　way to regain world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles

　　eagerly from year to year to keep demand from falling.

　　68. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is

　　.

　　A. not easily accepted by the public

　　B. often of poorer quality compared with old ones

　　C. often more expensive than old ones

　　D. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes

　　69. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to

　　.

　　A. promote its production

　　B. work out marketing plans

　　C. speed up its life cycle

　　D. increase its popularity

　　70. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" (Para.2) to show the importance of

　　.

　　A. pleasing the young as well as the old

　　B. increasing usage among students

　　C. exploring new market sections

　　D. finding creative product designers

　　71. In order to attract more consumers, U.S. auto makers are

　　.

　　A. modernizing product style

　　B. increasing product features

　　C. developing products of better quality

　　D. re-positioning their product in the market

　　Get to work punctually, always busy and completely devoted to your work. You

　　may do all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead,

　　experts say, it is politics, or rather office politics that counts.

　　Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: "Hard work alone

　　doesn't ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your

　　ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes:' Yet, despite the obvious rewards of

　　engaging in office politics-a better job, a promotion, praise-many people are still

　　unable-or unwilling-to "play the game."

　　"People assume that office politics involves some manipulative(有心计的)

　　behavior," says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Holster

　　College. "But "politics" derives "P" from the word 6polite'. It can mean lobbying and

　　forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please

　　your superior, and then expecting something in return."

　　In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue

　　one's own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of

　　socializing within the office environment-not just in large companies, but in small

　　workplaces as well.

　　"The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a

　　consistent basis," says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. "But if two or

　　three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability,

　　a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human

　　nature."

　　Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the

　　concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of

　　work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery（奉承）,

　　fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their

　　boss for favors.

　　So it is urgent to alter this negative picture by recognizing the need for some

　　self-promotion.

　　72. Office politics is used in the passage to refer to

　　.

　　A. the standard of behavior for office workers

　　B. the political views and beliefs of office workers

　　C. the interpersonal relationships within a company

　　D. the various qualities required for a successful career

　　73. Why are many people unwilling to "play the game"?

　　A. They believe that doing so is not practical.

　　B. They feel that such behavior is not moral.

　　C. They are not good at forming associations.

　　D. They think their efforts will not pay off.

　　74. The author considers office politics to be

　　.

　　A. unwelcome among workers at the workplace.

　　B. bad for interpersonal relationships among staff

　　C. essential to the development of company culture.

　　D. important for personal promotion.

　　75. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Self-promotion doesn't necessarily mean manipulative behaviors.

　　B. Speaking up for oneself is part of human nature.

　　C. Many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery.

　　D. Hard work contributes considerably to one's promotion.
