I was caring to my friends, my partner, my family; I gave to charity and I volunteered. But when I started training to become a therapis

17、t (治疗师), I began to understand that however much we might like to think of ourselves as good people, we dont actually know ourselves very well. I learned about how we might, without consciously realizing it, deny the feelings and motivations we consider to be bad, pushing them down into our unconsci

18、ous and projecting them out on to others, so they become the bad people. I learned that deep in the human mind, alongside love and kindness, run currents of anger, need, greed, envy, destructiveness, superiority whether we want to acknowledge them or not. It was 22-year-old Boru who taught me what i

19、t really means to be a good grown up. We first spoke two years ago. He was unemployed, living with his parents, watching his friends lives progress. A good grown-up, he told me, is “someone who has his ducks in a row” and that wasnt him.I also didnt feel like the competent, confident grown-up I thou

20、ght I should be and neither did most of the adults I knew. I researched statistics about people hitting the traditional landmarks of adulthood later and later, if at all from buying a home to getting married or starting a family. I recognized what made me feel like a bad grown-up: that Ill sit with

21、a broken fridge rather than call an engineer to repair it.Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, hed found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. Hes now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed? “You start t

22、o have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I dont feel like Im hiding from anything anymore, because Im not hiding from myself.”I think growing up must involve finding your own way to have those conversations. Boru does it on his bike, I do it in psychoanalysi

23、s, others I spoke to do it while cooking or playing music. That, for Boru, and for me, is what it means to “have his ducks in a row”.8What does the first paragraph imply about understanding ourselves?ARecognizing our positive traits is enough for growth.BOur understanding of our motives and feelings

24、 is accurate.CTrue self-awareness means accepting both good and bad sides.DIgnoring our negative traits does not affect our self-perception.9What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about being a good grown-up?AIt involves having a clear career path and financial stability.BIt requires co

25、nstant self-improvement and education.CIt means being employed and living independently.DIt is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty.10What does the author identify as a reason for feeling like an inadequate adult?AEscaping basic responsibilities.BDelaying reaching traditional life milestones

26、.CComparing personal achievements to others.DInvestigating changing patterns of adult life.11Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?AWhy Hide HarmsBHow to Be Better AdultsCWhy Growing up MattersDHow to Have Effective ConversationsPricing is managers biggest marketing headache.

27、 Its where they feel the most pressure to perform and the least certain that they are doing a good job. All successful pricing efforts share two qualities: The policy combines well with the companys overall marketing strategy, and the process is well-organized as a whole.A companys pricing policy se

28、nds a message to the marketit gives customers an important sense of a companys philosophy. Consider Saturn Corporation (a wholly owned company of General Motors). Saturn wants to let consumers know that it is friendly and easy to do business with. Part of this concept is conveyed through initiatives

29、 such as inviting customers to the factory to see where the cars are made and sponsoring evenings at the dealership that combine a social event with training on car maintenance. But Saturns pricing policy sends a strong message as well. Can a friendly, trusting relationship be established with custo

30、mers if a salesperson uses all the negotiating tricks in the book to try to separate them from that last $100? Of course not. Saturn has a “no hassle, no haggle” policy which removes the possibility of conflicts between dealer and potential customer. Customers have an easier time buying a car knowin

31、g that the next person in the door wont negotiate a better deal.Of course, there are typically many participants in the pricing process: Accounting provides cost estimates; marketing communicates the pricing strategy; sales provides specific customer input; production sets supply boundaries; and fin

32、ance establishes the requirements for the entire companys financial health. Input from diverse sources is necessary. However, problems arise when the philosophy of wide participation is carried over to the price-setting process without strong coordinating mechanisms (协调机制). For example, if the marke

33、ting department sets list prices, the salespeople negotiate discounts in the field, the legal department adjusts prices if necessary to prevent breaking the laws or contractual agreements, and the people filling orders negotiate price adjustments for delays in shipment, everybodys best intentions us

34、ually end up bringing about less than the best results. In fact, the company may actually lose money on some orders.12Why is it essential for a companys pricing policy to combine with its overall marketing strategy?ATo maximize possible returns and profits.BTo maintain consistency in business operat

35、ions.CTo eliminate the need for diverse sales inputs.DTo attract customers to social events and trainings.13What does Saturns “no hassle, no haggle” policy (paragraph 2) most probably mean?ASaturn trains its dealers to treat customers sincerely.BSaturn offers discounts to some loyal customers.CSatur

36、n cars are at least $100 cheaper than other cars.DSaturn cars are sold at fixed, non-negotiable prices.14What can be inferred from the wide participation in the pricing process?ADecision making requires gathering comprehensive information.BThe coordinating mechanism wont work without a lot of input.

37、CPotential customers are easily upset at any stage of the process.DThe company loses money unless everyone intends for the best.15Which of the following is the best title for this passage?AThe art of coordinating pricing processesBThe best sales negotiation techniquesCGetting one step closer toward

38、better pricingDMaximizing profits through pricing policiesBehind every great product is a great team. Teamwork in the workplace offers the staff the opportunity to become more familiar with each other and learn how to work together. 16 . There are several ways in which teamwork is important to the s

39、uccess of the company and to the development of each employee.Efficiency (效率)Work teams develop systems that allow them to complete tasks efficiently. 17 , the teams work pace makes sure that the task is completed quickly and accurately.

While the death of many birds since the 1500s has been 22 , our knowle

This conceals the true 24 of global extinctions.Researchers now believe 1,430 bird species almost 12 per cent have died out over modern human history since a

47、 Dr Rob Cooke, an ecological modeler at UKCEH, says:“Our study demonstrates there has been a far higher 27 impact on diversity than previously recognized. Humans quickly destroyed bird populations through habitat loss, over-exploitation, and the introduction of rats, pigs, and dogs, which attacked t

48、he birds nests, and 28 with birds for food. We show that many species became extinct before written records and left no 29 , lost from history.”Dr Sren Faurby of the University of Gothenburg, a co-author of the study, adds: “These historic extinctions have had a major impact on the current biodiversity crisis.
