47、 根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 The Public Health Crisis Hiding in Our Food A．If you have high blood pressure, you're in good company．Hypertension (高血壓) afflicts 67 million Americans, including nearly two-thirds of people over age 60．But it isn't an inevitable part of the aging process．It's better to think of it as chronic sodium intoxication (鈉中毒)．And, as an important new study from Britain shows, there's a way to prevent the problem--and to save many, many lives． B．A lifetime of consuming too much sodium--mostly in the form of sodium chloride (氯化鈉) , or table salt--raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure kills and disables people by triggering strokes and heart attacks．In the United States, according to best estimates, excess sodium is killing between 40,000 and 90,000 people and running up to $20 billion in medical costs a year． C．Americans on average take in about 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day, but experts recommend less than 2,300 milligrams--and less than 1,500 milligrams for people over age 50, black people, or those who already have hypertension, diabetes (糖尿病)or kidney (腎臟)disease, which adds up to a majority of American adults．Either target is far below where most Americans are now． D．The reason that nearly everyone eats too much sodium is that our food is loaded with it, and often where we don't taste or expect it．Of course ham and canned soup are full of salt, but so are many foods that are surprising: A blueberry muffin (松餅．can have more than double the salt of a serving of potato chips, Even healthy-sounding food can pack heavy sodium loads．Two slices of whole wheat bread can have nearly 400 milligrams of sodium, as can two tablespoons of fat-free salad dressing．Eight ounces of V8 vegetable juice contains well over 500 milligrams．Many restaurant entrees (主菜)have far more sodium than is recommended for an entire day．Applebee's lemon shrimp fettuccine (意大利寬面條) , at 5,100 milligrams, has more than twice as much． E．Doctors warn people with high blood pressure to go on a low-salt diet, but that's virtually impossible in today's world, because nearly 80 percent of the sodium that Americans eat comes in packaged and restaurant food (whether it’s a bagel, a sandwich or a steak dinner．．You can't take it out．And nearly everyone, not just people with hypertension puzzling over food labels, should be taking in less sodium．The only way to prevent millions of Americans from developing high blood pressure is for companies and restaurants to stop loading up their food with sodium． F．Health experts have been asking the food industry to do that for decades．It's not easy, but it isn't impossible either．Sure, we all like the taste of salt, but there is much that food companies can do without driving away customers．Often they add sodium for leavening (發(fā)酵)or food texture （質(zhì)地) rather than taste, when replacement ingredients are available．And sodium levels in similar popular foods made by different manufacturers often vary two- or threefold (for example, a slice of pizza can pack anywhere from between 370 and 730 milligrams．, which suggests that many manufacturers can cut sodium levels in their foods sharply without hurting taste．When salt levels in food drop, people's preference for salt also shifts down, so no one would notice a gradual reduction in sodium across all foods． G．That's exactly what Britain's Food Standards Agency has done．It divided processed food into different categories, set salt-reduction targets in each category and then asked companies to meet those targets over time．And as these companies did that, from 2001 to 2011, sodium consumption by the British fell 15 percent．The new study shows that this drop in salt intake has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in average blood pressure, a 40 percent drop in deaths from heart attacks and a 42 percent decline in deaths from stroke． H．A few scientific critics have been arguing for years that reducing salt intake is risky because it might increase mortality in some people receiving aggressive treatment for congestive heart failure, but the British data show at a national level what smaller studies project--that when sodium levels in everyone's food drop, so does the number of people dying from heart disease and stroke． I．Lower smoking rates in Britain no doubt are helping as well, but as the authors of the study point out, the fall in mortality echoes the success of Japan and Finland in earlier decades, both of which reduced sodium consumption from sky-high levels with focused government efforts and saw huge drops in heart attacks and strokes． J．Here in the United States, in 2010, an Institute of Medicine panel was so troubled by salt-caused deaths that it called for mandatory federal standards for sodium in food But the question of whether the Food and Drug Administration (F．D．A) ．should regulate salt is more complicated than it might seem at first．As an expert once told me, you're never going to ban pickles (泡菜)． K．The only way to regulate that I can see is to set maximum sodium levels within many different food categories．But that could ．lead to opposite results if the levels are set high and then the companies already making food with sodium below those levels take the new limits as license to increase to the maximum amount of sodium permitted I believe that in the end we will need a combination of mandated maximums and a coordinated voluntary sodium-reduction program like that in Britain．But the voluntary plan should come first, to see how much sodium levels can be reduced that way． L．There is absolutely no reason we can't do an initiative similar to Britain's on this side of the Atlantic now．Over the last four years, the New York City health department has led the National Salt Reduction Initiative, a network of over 90 health departments and national organizations, including the American Medical Association, the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and Consumers Union， working with food companies to voluntarily cut sodium, using Britain as a model． M．Twenty-one companies, including food giants like Kraft, Unilever and Subway, and many others like Mars and Goya, have joined, putting less sodium in common products like processed cheese and canned beans．But far more food companies are ignoring it, and the initiative got no commitments at all in 18 of 62 packaged food categories． N．A proposal as important to human life as this needs the stature and resources of the federal government to bring the rest of the food industry along．The FD．A．has been developing a new plan for a voluntary, coordinated, national initiative．Unfortunately, even though it is voluntary, the food industry is fighting it, and the plan is stalled (停滯不前） O．Many people are unnecessarily on kidney dialysis (透析）, in stroke rehabilitation (康復(fù)） centers and dying because we are failing to act．Even modest reductions in sodium in food could save tens of thousands of lives and billions in health care costs every year．No one likes government mandates (指令）these days．But it's high time the federal government starts to fix this problem by at least leading a voluntary initiative that we know will save many lives． It's possible that food companies reduce sodium substantially in their foods with little effect on their taste．
48、The American federal government is called for to take a lead in controlling the sodium in food
49、The achievements of another two countries suggest that smoking relates less to the decline in deaths from heart disease and stroke in Britain．
50、The foods that contain sodium and the amount of sodium they contain are beyond our imagination．
51、To set maximum amounts of sodium within different food categories may not bring the expected results．
52、Annually tens of thousands of deaths and huge medical expenditures are caused by a life-long consumption of excess sodium in the USA)
53、Now it's hard for people to eat less sodium since sodium mainly comes from the foods produced by companies and restaurants．
54、It is sodium, rather than aging, that is responsible for high blood pressure that millions of Americans suffer from．
55、An initiative based on Britain's model has received limited success in the USA)
56、The average amount of sodium consumed by an American per day is well above the recommended level． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ).

57、 QuesUons57-66are based on the following paassage Whether striding ahead with pride or slouching (沒精打采地站) gloomily, we all broadcast our emotions through body language．Now a computer has learned to interpret those unspoken cues as well as you or I． Antonio Camurri of the University of Genoa in Italy and colleagues have built a system which uses the depth-sensing, motion-capture camera in Microsoft's Kinect (體感游戲機(jī)) to determine the emotion conveyed by a person's body movements．Using computers to capture emotions has been done before, but typically focuses on facial analysis or voice recording．Reading someone's emotional state from the way they walk across a room or their posture as they sit at a desk means they don't have to speak or look into a camera "It's a nice achievement," says Frank Pollick, professor of psychology at the University of Glasgow, UK．"Being able to use the Kinect for this is really useful．" The system uses the Kinect camera to build, a stick figure representation of a person that includes information on how his head, torso (軀干) , hands and shoulders are moving．Software looks for body positions and movements widely recognized in psychology as indicative of certain emotional states．For example, if a person's head is bowed and their shoulders are drooping (下垂) , that might indicate sadness or fear．Adding in the speed of movement--slow indicates sadness, while fast indicates fear--allows the software to determine how someone is feeling．In tests, the system correctly identified emotions in the stick figures 61．3% of the time, compared with a 61．9% success rate for 60 human volunteers． Camurri is using the system to build games that teach children with autism (自閉癥．to recognize and express emotions through full-body movements．Understanding how another person feels can be difficult for people with autism, and recognizing fear is more difficult than happiness． "In one of the serious games we developed, a child is invited to look at a short video of an actor expressing an emotion," Camurri says．"Then the child is invited to guess which emotion was expressed in the video．" He adds that you can also ask the child to express the same emotion just by moving her body; joy, for example, can be characterized by energetic, fluid movements and a tendency to raise your arms． The team also plans to use the system to figure out how "in tune" a group of people is with their leader, looking for signals like how people's heads move when someone is speaking． Pollick says it could be useful as an automatic way to classify emotion--as part of a CCTV (閉路電視)system to infer intent, or to help shops understand customers． What is the advantage of the newly-developed system over previous research? A．In tests it identified a person's emotion more correctly． B．It uses Microsoft's Kinect in a better way． C．It does not require a fixed position in front of a camera D．It represents a person in a more detailed and vivid way．
58、What body movements would the system probably interpret as sadness? A．Bowed head and drooping shoulders． B．Energetic movements and a tendency to raise arms． C．Bowed head and fast movements． D．Drooping shoulders and slow movements．
59、What benefit can the serious games probably bring to children with autism? A．They can learn how to move their bodies． B．They can grow into an actor or actress． C．They can be better understood by people． D．They can separate happiness from joy．
60、What does the plan of Camurri's team imply? A．The way a person's head moves suggests his attitude toward the speaker． B．The system can improve the relationship between leaders and group members． C．A speaker should look for the signals given by the audience． D．Listeners should pay attention to the tune of the speaker．
61、What does Pollick think about this system? A．It enables shops to better monitor customers． B．It has a wide range of potential applications． C．It is more useful than previous research． D．It can divide emotion states into different types．
62、 QuesUons62-71are based on the following paassage Being in charge has its benefits: More money, more control, more power．And apparently, more job satisfaction． Recently the Pew Research Center released data from a survey that found bosses are happier than workers in their jobs．69% of the people in management positions from the survey said they were satisfied with their current positions, compared with just 48% of rank-and-file (普通的) workers．The manager respondents were also more likely than non-managers to say they consider their work a career rather than merely a job (78% vs．44%) and were much less likely to be looking for a job than those who don't manage others (12% vs．23%)． They're also more likely to be happy with their lives outside of work, to feel they're paid fairly for what they do, and to think having children hasn't been a hindrance to their advancement． While those numbers may not be surprising given the age, greater income and longer careers of those typically in management, the report did find that both managers and non-managers value the exact same things (and in the exact same order) when considering a job Enjoyable work comes first, followed by job security and then the ability to take time off to care for family．Similarly low numbers of participants cited a big salary (just 20% of bosses and 18% of workers．a(chǎn)nd opportunities for advancement (25% vs．24%) as being important, despite presumably different access to each． Also surprising, says Rich Morin, senior editor of Pew's Social & Demographic Trends project, was how similar numbers of bosses and employees considered problems such as gender discrimination to be a social issue．62% of managers and 66% of workers agree that the country needs to make changes to solve gender inequality (不平等)issues in the workplace．"It wasn't a case of big bad bosses and exploited workers," Morin says．"That was an optimistic finding．On these important issues, t．hey think alike．" Perhaps most notable, meanwhile, is that despite the greater satisfaction and lower stress associated with being in charge, fewer people want to become managers than not．Just 39% of people responding to Pew's study said they would like such a position; 43% said they wouldn't．(The remaining 18% included those who were already managers and a few who didn't answer)． "Some people simply don't want the headaches that come with being a boss, and some simply don't want the long hours," Morin says, acknowledging the contradiction between that statement and Pew's findings．For many, it seems, the satisfaction that comes from greater control and more money simply doesn't outweigh the potential perils (危險(xiǎn))of being the one in charge． What are ordinary workers more likely to do, according to Pew's survey? A．To view their work as a career． B．To be satisfied with other aspects of life． C．To think the pay is less than it should be． D．To consider children a motive to their advancement．
63、What does the author think about the finding that managers have more job satisfaction? A．It is surprising given the headaches that come with being a boss． B．It is reasonable since managers are easier to be satisfied C．It is surprising given the long working hours． D．It is reasonable since managers tend to be older．
64、Which of the following things are valued from most to lest when workers consider a job? A．Enjoyable work, income, promotion opportunity． B．Job security, enjoyable work, promotion opportunity． C．Enjoyable work, promotion opportunity, job security． D．Job security, more time to care for family, income．
65、What can we learn about Pew's finding on gender inequality in the workplaee? A．The country has made little effort to solve this problem． B．Bosses and workers had been expected to differ in their attitudes toward this issue． C．Bosses and workers had been expected to think alike on some unimportant issues． D．Bad bosses tend to exploit male workers rather than female workers．
66、What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The stress associated with being in charge is overestimated B．Workers are more likely to feel confused about their work． C．More control and money can lead to trouble． D．Managers tend to be in dangerous situations． Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

47、 根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 The Public Health Crisis Hiding in Our Food A．If you have high blood pressure, you're in good company．Hypertension (高血壓) afflicts 67 million Americans, including nearly two-thirds of people over age 60．But it isn't an inevitable part of the aging process．It's better to think of it as chronic sodium intoxication (鈉中毒)．And, as an important new study from Britain shows, there's a way to prevent the problem--and to save many, many lives． B．A lifetime of consuming too much sodium--mostly in the form of sodium chloride (氯化鈉) , or table salt--raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure kills and disables people by triggering strokes and heart attacks．In the United States, according to best estimates, excess sodium is killing between 40,000 and 90,000 people and running up to $20 billion in medical costs a year． C．Americans on average take in about 3,300 milligrams of sodium per day, but experts recommend less than 2,300 milligrams--and less than 1,500 milligrams for people over age 50, black people, or those who already have hypertension, diabetes (糖尿病)or kidney (腎臟)disease, which adds up to a majority of American adults．Either target is far below where most Americans are now． D．The reason that nearly everyone eats too much sodium is that our food is loaded with it, and often where we don't taste or expect it．Of course ham and canned soup are full of salt, but so are many foods that are surprising: A blueberry muffin (松餅．can have more than double the salt of a serving of potato chips, Even healthy-sounding food can pack heavy sodium loads．Two slices of whole wheat bread can have nearly 400 milligrams of sodium, as can two tablespoons of fat-free salad dressing．Eight ounces of V8 vegetable juice contains well over 500 milligrams．Many restaurant entrees (主菜)have far more sodium than is recommended for an entire day．Applebee's lemon shrimp fettuccine (意大利寬面條) , at 5,100 milligrams, has more than twice as much． E．Doctors warn people with high blood pressure to go on a low-salt diet, but that's virtually impossible in today's world, because nearly 80 percent of the sodium that Americans eat comes in packaged and restaurant food (whether it’s a bagel, a sandwich or a steak dinner．．You can't take it out．And nearly everyone, not just people with hypertension puzzling over food labels, should be taking in less sodium．The only way to prevent millions of Americans from developing high blood pressure is for companies and restaurants to stop loading up their food with sodium． F．Health experts have been asking the food industry to do that for decades．It's not easy, but it isn't impossible either．Sure, we all like the taste of salt, but there is much that food companies can do without driving away customers．Often they add sodium for leavening (發(fā)酵)or food texture （質(zhì)地) rather than taste, when replacement ingredients are available．And sodium levels in similar popular foods made by different manufacturers often vary two- or threefold (for example, a slice of pizza can pack anywhere from between 370 and 730 milligrams．, which suggests that many manufacturers can cut sodium levels in their foods sharply without hurting taste．When salt levels in food drop, people's preference for salt also shifts down, so no one would notice a gradual reduction in sodium across all foods． G．That's exactly what Britain's Food Standards Agency has done．It divided processed food into different categories, set salt-reduction targets in each category and then asked companies to meet those targets over time．And as these companies did that, from 2001 to 2011, sodium consumption by the British fell 15 percent．The new study shows that this drop in salt intake has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in average blood pressure, a 40 percent drop in deaths from heart attacks and a 42 percent decline in deaths from stroke． H．A few scientific critics have been arguing for years that reducing salt intake is risky because it might increase mortality in some people receiving aggressive treatment for congestive heart failure, but the British data show at a national level what smaller studies project--that when sodium levels in everyone's food drop, so does the number of people dying from heart disease and stroke． I．Lower smoking rates in Britain no doubt are helping as well, but as the authors of the study point out, the fall in mortality echoes the success of Japan and Finland in earlier decades, both of which reduced sodium consumption from sky-high levels with focused government efforts and saw huge drops in heart attacks and strokes． J．Here in the United States, in 2010, an Institute of Medicine panel was so troubled by salt-caused deaths that it called for mandatory federal standards for sodium in food But the question of whether the Food and Drug Administration (F．D．A) ．should regulate salt is more complicated than it might seem at first．As an expert once told me, you're never going to ban pickles (泡菜)． K．The only way to regulate that I can see is to set maximum sodium levels within many different food categories．But that could ．lead to opposite results if the levels are set high and then the companies already making food with sodium below those levels take the new limits as license to increase to the maximum amount of sodium permitted I believe that in the end we will need a combination of mandated maximums and a coordinated voluntary sodium-reduction program like that in Britain．But the voluntary plan should come first, to see how much sodium levels can be reduced that way． L．There is absolutely no reason we can't do an initiative similar to Britain's on this side of the Atlantic now．Over the last four years, the New York City health department has led the National Salt Reduction Initiative, a network of over 90 health departments and national organizations, including the American Medical Association, the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and Consumers Union， working with food companies to voluntarily cut sodium, using Britain as a model． M．Twenty-one companies, including food giants like Kraft, Unilever and Subway, and many others like Mars and Goya, have joined, putting less sodium in common products like processed cheese and canned beans．But far more food companies are ignoring it, and the initiative got no commitments at all in 18 of 62 packaged food categories． N．A proposal as important to human life as this needs the stature and resources of the federal government to bring the rest of the food industry along．The FD．A．has been developing a new plan for a voluntary, coordinated, national initiative．Unfortunately, even though it is voluntary, the food industry is fighting it, and the plan is stalled (停滯不前） O．Many people are unnecessarily on kidney dialysis (透析）, in stroke rehabilitation (康復(fù)） centers and dying because we are failing to act．Even modest reductions in sodium in food could save tens of thousands of lives and billions in health care costs every year．No one likes government mandates (指令）these days．But it's high time the federal government starts to fix this problem by at least leading a voluntary initiative that we know will save many lives． It's possible that food companies reduce sodium substantially in their foods with little effect on their taste．
48、The American federal government is called for to take a lead in controlling the sodium in food
49、The achievements of another two countries suggest that smoking relates less to the decline in deaths from heart disease and stroke in Britain．
50、The foods that contain sodium and the amount of sodium they contain are beyond our imagination．
51、To set maximum amounts of sodium within different food categories may not bring the expected results．
52、Annually tens of thousands of deaths and huge medical expenditures are caused by a life-long consumption of excess sodium in the USA)
53、Now it's hard for people to eat less sodium since sodium mainly comes from the foods produced by companies and restaurants．
54、It is sodium, rather than aging, that is responsible for high blood pressure that millions of Americans suffer from．
55、An initiative based on Britain's model has received limited success in the USA)
56、The average amount of sodium consumed by an American per day is well above the recommended level． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ).

57、 QuesUons57-66are based on the following paassage Whether striding ahead with pride or slouching (沒精打采地站) gloomily, we all broadcast our emotions through body language．Now a computer has learned to interpret those unspoken cues as well as you or I． Antonio Camurri of the University of Genoa in Italy and colleagues have built a system which uses the depth-sensing, motion-capture camera in Microsoft's Kinect (體感游戲機(jī)) to determine the emotion conveyed by a person's body movements．Using computers to capture emotions has been done before, but typically focuses on facial analysis or voice recording．Reading someone's emotional state from the way they walk across a room or their posture as they sit at a desk means they don't have to speak or look into a camera "It's a nice achievement," says Frank Pollick, professor of psychology at the University of Glasgow, UK．"Being able to use the Kinect for this is really useful．" The system uses the Kinect camera to build, a stick figure representation of a person that includes information on how his head, torso (軀干) , hands and shoulders are moving．Software looks for body positions and movements widely recognized in psychology as indicative of certain emotional states．For example, if a person's head is bowed and their shoulders are drooping (下垂) , that might indicate sadness or fear．Adding in the speed of movement--slow indicates sadness, while fast indicates fear--allows the software to determine how someone is feeling．In tests, the system correctly identified emotions in the stick figures 61．3% of the time, compared with a 61．9% success rate for 60 human volunteers． Camurri is using the system to build games that teach children with autism (自閉癥．to recognize and express emotions through full-body movements．Understanding how another person feels can be difficult for people with autism, and recognizing fear is more difficult than happiness． "In one of the serious games we developed, a child is invited to look at a short video of an actor expressing an emotion," Camurri says．"Then the child is invited to guess which emotion was expressed in the video．" He adds that you can also ask the child to express the same emotion just by moving her body; joy, for example, can be characterized by energetic, fluid movements and a tendency to raise your arms． The team also plans to use the system to figure out how "in tune" a group of people is with their leader, looking for signals like how people's heads move when someone is speaking． Pollick says it could be useful as an automatic way to classify emotion--as part of a CCTV (閉路電視)system to infer intent, or to help shops understand customers． What is the advantage of the newly-developed system over previous research? A．In tests it identified a person's emotion more correctly． B．It uses Microsoft's Kinect in a better way． C．It does not require a fixed position in front of a camera D．It represents a person in a more detailed and vivid way．
58、What body movements would the system probably interpret as sadness? A．Bowed head and drooping shoulders． B．Energetic movements and a tendency to raise arms． C．Bowed head and fast movements． D．Drooping shoulders and slow movements．
59、What benefit can the serious games probably bring to children with autism? A．They can learn how to move their bodies． B．They can grow into an actor or actress． C．They can be better understood by people． D．They can separate happiness from joy．
60、What does the plan of Camurri's team imply? A．The way a person's head moves suggests his attitude toward the speaker． B．The system can improve the relationship between leaders and group members． C．A speaker should look for the signals given by the audience． D．Listeners should pay attention to the tune of the speaker．
61、What does Pollick think about this system? A．It enables shops to better monitor customers． B．It has a wide range of potential applications． C．It is more useful than previous research． D．It can divide emotion states into different types．
62、 QuesUons62-71are based on the following paassage Being in charge has its benefits: More money, more control, more power．And apparently, more job satisfaction． Recently the Pew Research Center released data from a survey that found bosses are happier than workers in their jobs．69% of the people in management positions from the survey said they were satisfied with their current positions, compared with just 48% of rank-and-file (普通的) workers．The manager respondents were also more likely than non-managers to say they consider their work a career rather than merely a job (78% vs．44%) and were much less likely to be looking for a job than those who don't manage others (12% vs．23%)． They're also more likely to be happy with their lives outside of work, to feel they're paid fairly for what they do, and to think having children hasn't been a hindrance to their advancement． While those numbers may not be surprising given the age, greater income and longer careers of those typically in management, the report did find that both managers and non-managers value the exact same things (and in the exact same order) when considering a job Enjoyable work comes first, followed by job security and then the ability to take time off to care for family．Similarly low numbers of participants cited a big salary (just 20% of bosses and 18% of workers．a(chǎn)nd opportunities for advancement (25% vs．24%) as being important, despite presumably different access to each． Also surprising, says Rich Morin, senior editor of Pew's Social & Demographic Trends project, was how similar numbers of bosses and employees considered problems such as gender discrimination to be a social issue．62% of managers and 66% of workers agree that the country needs to make changes to solve gender inequality (不平等)issues in the workplace．"It wasn't a case of big bad bosses and exploited workers," Morin says．"That was an optimistic finding．On these important issues, t．hey think alike．" Perhaps most notable, meanwhile, is that despite the greater satisfaction and lower stress associated with being in charge, fewer people want to become managers than not．Just 39% of people responding to Pew's study said they would like such a position; 43% said they wouldn't．(The remaining 18% included those who were already managers and a few who didn't answer)． "Some people simply don't want the headaches that come with being a boss, and some simply don't want the long hours," Morin says, acknowledging the contradiction between that statement and Pew's findings．For many, it seems, the satisfaction that comes from greater control and more money simply doesn't outweigh the potential perils (危險(xiǎn))of being the one in charge． What are ordinary workers more likely to do, according to Pew's survey? A．To view their work as a career． B．To be satisfied with other aspects of life． C．To think the pay is less than it should be． D．To consider children a motive to their advancement．
63、What does the author think about the finding that managers have more job satisfaction? A．It is surprising given the headaches that come with being a boss． B．It is reasonable since managers are easier to be satisfied C．It is surprising given the long working hours． D．It is reasonable since managers tend to be older．
64、Which of the following things are valued from most to lest when workers consider a job? A．Enjoyable work, income, promotion opportunity． B．Job security, enjoyable work, promotion opportunity． C．Enjoyable work, promotion opportunity, job security． D．Job security, more time to care for family, income．
65、What can we learn about Pew's finding on gender inequality in the workplaee? A．The country has made little effort to solve this problem． B．Bosses and workers had been expected to differ in their attitudes toward this issue． C．Bosses and workers had been expected to think alike on some unimportant issues． D．Bad bosses tend to exploit male workers rather than female workers．
66、What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The stress associated with being in charge is overestimated B．Workers are more likely to feel confused about their work． C．More control and money can lead to trouble． D．Managers tend to be in dangerous situations． Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
