1 We all believe that modern technology can make life better because it makes
everything faster But by 11 everything up we suffer losses we have not yet learnt
to know Our day begins with speedy urges the alarm rings and you jump 12 bed You
take a quick shower Then you wake the kids and 13 them through breakfast so they
wont miss the bus At the dining table you swallow some slices of bread with a cup
of tea When everything 14 you hurry to the car thinking of the things you would
buy from the supermarket on the way 15 Driving 20 minutes in the busy traffic you
reach your workplace rushing into the building and 16 up the stairs three at a
time arriving at your desk with seconds to spare You take 17 deep breaths Then
you instantly remember that the 18 you didnt finish last night must be faxed to
Beijing by 10 oclock in the morning
Yet it seems that the 19 we go the further we fall behind Not only in the literal
sense of not getting done what we set out to do 20 at a deeper level It has come
to the point where my days feel like an Olympic marathon

1 Parents can have a great impact on the development of their childrens
creativity in art But first they have to know how They may find the following
advice interesting and instructive
Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books Coloring books stop the
possibility of selfexpression A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never
learn how to express himself As an art teacher says Children have a very
powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly Such practice makes them learn
language easily In fact a child expresses himself in rough drawing This is the
beginning of literacy and creativity Also parents should not teach their
kidshow to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to
entertain themselves Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will
discourage children making them think they cant do it the rightway
Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation
A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize
while drawing
Parents should be role models for their kids They should not say things likeI
cant draw a straight lineInstead they should learn to sayI love to
createThis teaches children that the process of creation is more important than
the product If children see their parents drawing cooking or building creatively
they will do the same
Buy a notebook for your child to use every day This can be a journal for making up
stories writing ideas and drawing pictures Even the youngest child can use it to
draw freely and roughly expressing himself
Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity Art museums science
centers libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other peoples
creativity That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions
Give children choices and free time Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining
In short parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for
themselves That means not always teaching and commanding

2 It is often said that politeness costs nothing In fact it seems that a little
more politeness could save businesses £5 billion every year Frequently hearing the
phrasethank you or well done means the same to staff as a modest pay rise
Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in
their jobs In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new
employees A third of 1000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not
get thanked at all when they did well—and a further third said they were not
thanked enough In both cases staff said they felt undervalued meaning they were
less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment
elsewhere
The result of the survey shows that there would be around £52 billion loss in
productivity if the employees felt less appreciated According to the firm praising
staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise—and works out much
cheaper for bosses Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by
their bosses was important to them but only a quarter said they were actually given
as much praise as they felt they needed
The survey found that those in bluecollar and manual jobs were less likely to be
given any recognition for doing well But it seems that they most need such praise
In regional terms Scottish staff felt most undervalued Four out of ten workers
said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise
However workers in the NorthEast are less impressed by being praised by the boss
as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told well done regularly
Older employees and women need the most reassurance according to psychologist
Averil Leimon She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place
to work—they could even promote profits
(1) The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of
money every year because
(A) politeness makes employees expect pay rise
(B) politeness is less likely to make staff work harder
(C) politeness helps employers find proper employees
(D) politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment
答案:D
(2) Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably
(A) leave for jobs elsewhere
(B) work harder to get praise from their bosses
(C) exert themselves in their work to get pay rise
(D) work harder to get encouragement from their bosses
答案:A
(3) According to the survey of the employees believed they were praised as
much as expected
(A) 25
(B) 30
(C) 40
(D) 75
答案:A
(4) The survey shows that those who do not pay much attention to praise are
(A) staff from Scotland
(B) workers in NorthEast
(C) older and women employees
(D) older and women employees
答案:B
(5) It can be concluded from the passage that
(A) bluecollar employees are expecting more pay rise
(B) pleasant workplace could promote business profits
(C) pay rise is an important motivation for manual workers
(D) words of praise could possibly increase business profits
答案:D

reading Much as the author of the book Thank You Mr Falker puts itAlmost as if
it were magic or as if light poured into her brain the words and sentences started
to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole
thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf the very
