Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men,
题型：不详难度：来源：
Past research has shown that women with self-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
In one US study, researchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on.
The latest study set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the researchers got back in
touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views. 小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?
| A．Treated badly | B．Asked to leave |
| C．Looked down upon | D．Made sb. have a disadvantage |
| A．the woman is less likely to be accepted |
| B．the woman will work harder if she gets the payment |
| C．the man can make a good impression on the boss |
| D．they can be both accepted if they use proper words |
| A．had been promoted only once or twice |
| B．tried hard to be as successful as gentle types |
| C．were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior |
| D．filled in the surveys after they graduated from college |
| A．Successful management is highly praised in women. |
| B．Some women will be disappointed by the massage. |
| C．Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work. |
| D．The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss. |
| A．How assertive women can control their behavior. |

Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered
a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark
had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on de
terminedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no
wall is too high, no dream impossible.小题1:What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?

On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids：“ I"m going to Afghanistan.”And a few weeks later, International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs ，we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami (海啸), Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventure or not？”I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was gone. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I thought about the moment many times during my“adventures”. I didn"t know how predictive those words would be，but I knew that she was still with me.

But at home a 38 story is told. Later that day, when I 39 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 40 . When I turned back, I 41 knocked her down. “Don’t be in my 42 !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart 43 .On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay 44 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 45 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily _46 .Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 47 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood quietly in order to give you a 48 , and you never saw the 49 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt very 50 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her __51__, “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 52_ .” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 53 have shouted at you that way.”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you 54 .” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers.”
Through this 55 , I realize what FAMILY means:
FAMILY="(F)ATHER" (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
