阅读理解。     "Tomorrow is another day"- this line has impressed various people at various times. It"s now 70 years
after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn.
The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell"s successful 1936 novel Gone With the
Wind. It"s set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O" Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.
     Love story
     In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many
audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta
might seem irrelevant to today"s viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.
     With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved
with cruel words, "Frankly, dear, I don" t give a damn."
     Great epic
     The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a
true classic in the epic genre.
     When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight
against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people
stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope
and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins.
     Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind
never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze.
     Biggest of all time
     The film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film
brought in $ 200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won
10 Academy awards in 1940.1. The underlined "it" in the first paragraph refers to _______.A. the novel Gone with the Wind

     请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。     Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a
great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and
yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is
that we do not focus on our present situation.
     Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means
of reaching our final destination. We don"t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
     Let"s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the
manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will
watch others achieve our goal instead.
     What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get
to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We
can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have
the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and
supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
     So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we
are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves
the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true:
"Rome wasn"t built in a day.", "Patience is a virtue", and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very
best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life
every day.

A is for always getting to work on time. B is for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的 ) way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago hard work alone doesn"t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics-a better job, a raise, praise-many people are still unable-or unwilling-to play the game. People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior, says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. But politics derives from the word "polite". It can mean lobbying(游说) and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return. In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one"s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment-not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It"s simple human nature. Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors. Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
1. Office politics (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ______.
A. the code of behavior for company staff B. the political views and beliefs of office workers C. the interpersonal relationships within a company D. the various qualities required for a successful career
2. To get promoted, one must not only be equal to his job but ______.
A. give his boss a good impression B. honest and loyal to his company C. get along well with his colleagues D. avoid being too outstanding
3. Why are many people unwilling to play the game (Line 4, Para. 5)?
A. They believe that doing so is impractical. B. They feel that such behavior is unprincipled. C. They are not good at manipulating colleagues. D. They think the effort will get them nowhere.
4. It is the author"s view that ______.
A. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C. hard work contributes very little to one"s promotion D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio (影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water"s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio! Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film "stars"!
