If you have a plaint, there are hundreds of sites that allow you to get it off your chest.

What would be the best title for the passage? _A. Excellent Web Sites B. plaining OnlineC. Sampling of plaints D. Writing out Your plaintsCOurs has bee a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e. , worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago being employed meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working populationgrowing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion (擴(kuò)張) of industrial production.Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it is the mechanists trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in mon. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately(充分地) possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work. The greatest emphasis in on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical ability or professional knowledge.29. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry,_.A. factory laborers will overtake intellectual employees in numberB. there are as many middle-class employees as factory laborersC. employers have paid more attention to factory laborersD. the percentage of factory laborers in the total working population has decreased30. The underlined word "dubious" (in Paragraph 2) most probably means _A. valuable B. usefulC. doubtful D. reasonable31. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is_.A. less important than awareness of how to be a good employeeB. as important as the ability to deal with public relationsC. more important than employer-employee relationsD. as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization32. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one_.A. to be more successful in his careerB. to be more specialized in his fieldC. to solve technical problemsD. to develop his professional skill延伸探究題I完形填空(20分)All kinds of people came in to have their shoes shined.

Everyone has different opinions about the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for puter science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story though. Life in L. A. is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me. I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture: The weather is not as perfect as in California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Midwest. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably wont like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from Americas larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D. C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place where you live could be the difference between a great study abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.21. From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA_.A. all colleges and universities lie in big citiesB. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful placesC. famous colleges and universities lie in nice placesD. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places22. What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?_A. The climate. B. The scenery. C. Studying conditions. D. Living conditions.23. From the third paragraph we can find that California isA. the best place to live in B. the worst place to live inC. a state with different climates D. a small stale in the USA24. If you study in Middle America, you can probablyA. find the best universities B. feel the real character of the nationC. meet the most famous professors there D. face more difficultyBOffice workers who would normally step into a pub or gym to deal with the stress (壓力) of a working day are being invited instead to sit in front of a painting.Manchester Art Gallery has employed two of the countrys leading experts in stress management to choose pictures that are guaranteed (確保) to leave even the most frantic (煩躁的) feeling at ease with the world. They have created the "tranquility (寧靜) tour" which allows city-center workers to spend their lunch hour visiting what are described as "some of the most relaxing and inspiring paintings. "The free tour takes the visitor through several centuries of paintings, from the Victorian aesthetic movement, through the PreRaphaelite school, to modern abstract art.Kim Gowland, a gallery executive, said, "Looking at art is a stress-relieving activity. What we are trying to do is encourage people to spend half an hour of their lunch-break in the gallery, to chill out rather than rush around the shops. "Mr Loukes said, "We chose five pictures that suggest restfulness. We are particularly strong in early-19th and early-20th-century British art. "Dr Gregson said, "Research shows that stress levels have reduced and moods changed for the better when subjects look at paintings. Although art appreciation is very much a matter of personal choicest is true that some works of art appeal (在感染力) to almost everyone, and that some paintings have qualities that can cause relaxation in most people. Great painters such as Leonardo da Vinci were masters of techniques that could bring out particular responses (反應(yīng)) in the viewer. "25. According to the pas
