　　、閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分40分）

　　第一節（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項

　　A

　　Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇員)and profits (利潤) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. "Your working uniform is your shelter," he told her. "Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be."

　　Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情緒). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.

　　At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success.

　　And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. "Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic," Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. "Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it."

　　The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.

　　We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must

　　.

　　A. learn to give lectures

　　B. attend education programs

　　C. design a working uniform

　　D. develop a common hobby

　　Willpower will become a habit when employees can

　　.

　　A. focus on the profits

　　B. benefit from the job

　　C. protect themselves well

　　D. control their feelings well

　　What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. G&G has grown into a large company.

　　B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.

　　C. G&G may become more successful in the future.

　　D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.

　　B

　　Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour. The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.

　　Not everyone experiences anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another. The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces. In contemporary culture, physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated. We no longer regard duels (決斗) as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.

　　Anger can be identified in the brain, where the electrical activity changes. Under most conditions EEG (腦電圖) measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal (額葉前部) areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition (意向) that most of us possess most of the time. But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and, as a result of this, we’re likely to react. And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions, whether positive or negative.

　　Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour: we move closer to people we like. Most negative emotions, in contrast, are associated with avoidance behaviour: we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious. But anger is an exception to this pattern. The angrier we are, the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger. This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as of fensive anger: the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger. This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry (不對稱) of EEG activity. Interestingly, this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy (同感) towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response. In defensive anger, in contrast, the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.

　　The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger ________.

　　A. usually has a biological basis

　　B. varies among people

　　C. is socially and culturally shaped

　　D. influences one’s thinking and evaluation

　　What changes can be found in an angry brain?

　　A. Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.

　　B. Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.

　　C. Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.

　　D. Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.

　　Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?

　　A. Approaching the source of anger.

　　B. Trying to control what is disliked.

　　C. Moving away from what is disliked.

　　D. Feeling helpless in the face of anger.

　　What is the key message of the last paragraph?

　　A. How anger differs from other emotions.

　　B. How anger relates to other emotions.

　　C. Behavioural responses to anger.

　　D. Behavioural patterns of anger.

　　C

　　College graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a wellpaid job.

　　But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there’s uncertainty as they enter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly received degree in religious studies, but no job prospects(前景).

　　“You look at everybody’s parents and neighbors, and they’re getting laid off and don’t have jobs,” said Stewart.“Then you look at the young people just coming into the workforce... it’s just scary.”

　　When the class of 2003 entered college the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they’ve been here, the world outside has changed dramatically(巨大地).

　　“Those were the exciting times, lots of opportunities, exploding offers, students getting top dollar with lots of benefits,” said Chery AllmenVinnidge, of the San Jose State Career Center.“Times have changed now. It’s a new market.”

　　Chery AllmenVinnidge ought to know. She runs the San Jose State Career Center, a sort of a crossroads between college and the real world. AllmenVinnidge says students who do find jobs after college have done their homework.

　　“The typical graduate who does have a job offer started working on it two years ago. They’ve prepared themselves well during the summer. They’ve had several internships(實習),” she said.

　　And they’ve majored in one of the few fields that are still hot—like chemical engineering, accounting, or nursing—where average starting salaries have actually increased over last year. Other popular fields (like information systems management, computer science, and political science) have seen big declines in starting salaries.

　　Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may just end up going back to school.

　　“I’d like to teach college some day and that requires more schooling, which would be great in a bad economy,” he said.

　　To some students’ degree may not be ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope its value will increase over time.

　　The main idea of this story is that.

　　ARyan Stewart has not been able to find a job

　　Ba college career center is a crossroads between college and the real world

　　Cthe class of 2003 are facing a bad job market

　　Din some fields, salaries have increased in the past year

　　What do we know about Ryan Stewart?

　　AHe majored in religious studies.

　　BHe was once a laidoff worker.

　　CHe was once a dropout and will go back to school.

　　DHe began to look for a job two years before he graduated.

　　Which of the following things did NOT happen in the four years when the class of 2003 was in college?

　　ASome college students make more preparations for jobs.

　　BThe number of teaching jobs increased.

　　CStarting salaries in chemical engineering increased.

　　DThe number of jobs with benefits decreased.

　　According to the passage, which of the following majors has the best job prospects?

　　AInformation systems management.

　　BComputer science.

　　CTeaching.

　　DAccounting.

　　D
