mentioning
these
things.
Doing
this,
the
praise
tends
to
carry
even
greater
meaning
and
motivational
effect.

1964
when

Many
of
Cartier’s
famous
products

A
new
report
by
the
World
Health
Organization
(WHO)
reveals
that
around
one
in
a
hundred
deaths
worldwide
is
due
to
passive
smoking,
which
kills
an
estimated
600,000
people
a
year.
In
the
first
study

assess
the
global

___________
of
second-hand
smoke,
WHO
experts
find
that
children
are
more
(42)

second-hand
smoke
than
any
other
age-group,
and
around
165,000
of
them
a
year
die
because
of
it.
Children’s
exposure
to
second-hand
smoke
is
most
likely
to
happen
at
home,
and
the
double
blow
of
infectious
diseases
and
tobacco
seems
to
be
a
deadly
(43)
__________
for
children
in
these
regions.
Commenting
on
the
findings,
Heather
Wipfli
and
Jonathan
Samet
from
the
University
of
Southern
California,
said
policymakers
try
to
(44)
_________
families
to
stop
smoking
in
the
home.
While
deaths
due
to
passive
smoking
in
children
were
skewed(曲解)
toward
poor
and
middle-income
countries,
deaths
in
adults
were
(45)
_________
across
countries
at
all
income
levels.
In
Europe’s
high-income
countries,
only
71
child
deaths
occurred,
while
35,388
deaths
were
in
adults.
Yet
in
the
countries
like
Africa,
an
estimated
43,375
deaths
due
to
passive
smoking
were
in
children
(46)
___________
with
9,514
in
adults.
Only
7.4
percent
of
the
world
population
currently
lives
in
places
with
(47)
__________
smoke-free
laws,
and
those
laws
are
not
always
(48)
__________
enforced(施行).
In
places
where
smoke-free
rules
are
(49)
___________,
research
shows
that
exposure
to
second-hand
smoke
in
high-risk
places
like
bars
and
restaurants
can
be
cut
by
90
percent,
and
in
general
by
60
percent,
the
researchers
said.
Studies
also
show
such
laws
help
to
reduce
the
number
of
cigarettes
smoked
by
smokers
and
lead
to
higher
(50)
_____________
rates
in
those
trying
to
quit.

them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,

and

(A)
A
famous
foreign
company
in
China
wanted
to
employ
a
secretary
for
its
public
relation
department.
A
beautiful
girl
with
a
master
degree
became
a
winning
candidate(候选人)
through
the
competition.
At
its
last
stage
she
faced
an
oral(口述的)
test
together
with
another
girl
who
was
her
equal
not
only
in
good
looks
but
also
in
education
standard.
The
girl
we
talk
about
was
confident
in
herself
and
successful
in
the
oral
test.
It
seemed
that
she
would
get
the
chance.
The
examiner
told
her
on
behalf
of（代表）the
company
that
she
could
come
to
office
of
the
company
next
Monday
as
a
new
employee.
At
last
he
asked
her,
“Have
you
anything
else
to
say ”
Shocked
by
the
unexpected
question,
the
beautiful
girl
was
quite
at
a
loss,
saying
with
hesitation(犹豫不决),
“I
have
to
talk
with
my
parents
before
I
give
an
answer.”
Surprised,
the
examiner
said
calmly,
“In
that
case,
let’s
wait
till
you
are
ready.”
The
next
day
the
girl
came
to
tell
that
her

here
is
a

her

That

(C)
When
I
stepped
out
the
plane
from
Miami
into
Charlotte,
North
Carolina,
airport
for
a
connecting
flight
home,
I
immediately
knew
something
was
wrong.
Lots
of
desperate
people
crowded
the
terminal.
I
quickly
learned
that
flights
headed
to
the
Northeast
were
called
off
because
of
a
storm.
The
earliest
they
could
get
us
out
of
Charlotte
was
Tuesday.
It
was
Friday.
A
gate
agent
stood
on
the
counter
and
shouted,
“Don’t
ask
us
for
help!
We
cannot
help
you!”
I
joined
a
crowd
that
ran
from
terminal
to
terminal
in
search
of
a
flight
out.
Eventually,
I
found
six
strangers
willing
to
rent
a
van
with
me.
We
drove
through
the
night
to
Washington,
where
I
took
a
train
the
rest
of
the
way
to
Providence.
The
real
problem,
of
course,
is
that
incidents
like
this
happen
every
day,
to
everyone
who
flies,
more
and
more
often.
It
really
gets
to
me,
though,
because
for
eight
years
I
was
on
the
other
side,
as
a
flight
attendant
for
Trans-World
Airlines(TWA).
I
know
the
days
are
gone
when
attendants
could
be
written
up
if
we
did
not
put
the
lines
napkins
with
the
TWA
logo
in
the
lower
right-hand
corner
of
the
first-class
diners’
trays.
As
are
the
days
when
there
were
three
dinner
options
on
flights
from
Boston
to
Los
Angeles
in
economy
class.
When,
once,
stuck
on
a
tarmac
(机场停机坪)
in
Newark
for
four
hours,
a
planeload
of
passengers
got
McDonald’s
hamburgers
and
fries
by
thoughtfulness
of
the
airline.
I
have
experienced
the
decline
of
service
along
with
the
rest
of
the
flying
public.
But
I
believe
everything
will
change
little
by
little,
because
I
remember
the
days
when
to
fly
was
to
soar
(翱翔).
The
airlines,
and
their
employees,
took
pride
in
how
their
passengers
were
treated.
And
I
think
the
days
are
sure
to
come
back
one
day
in
the
near
future.
Many
people
crowded
the
terminal
because
________.
A.
they
were
ready
to
board
on
the
planes
B.
something
was
wrong
with
the
terminal
C.
the
flights
to
the
Northeast
were
canceled
D.
the
gate
agent
wouldn’t
help
the
passengers
75.
The
writer
got
to
Providence
________
at
last.
A.
by
air
B.
by
van
C.
by
train
D.
by
underground
76.
Which
of
the
following
is
not
true
according
to
the
passage
A.
Incidents
happened
to
those
who
fly
quite
often.
B.
The
writer
used
to
be
a
flight
attendant
for
Trans-World
Airlines.
C.
Even
a
small
mistake
might
cause
complaints
from
passengers
in
the
past.
D.
McDonald’s
hamburgers
and
fries
were
among
regular
dinner
options.
77.
What
can
be
implied
from
the
passage
A.
The
writer
lived
in
Charlotte,
North
Carolina.
B.
The
writer
thought
the
service
was
not
as
good
as
it
used
to
be.
C.
The
writer
with
other
passengers
waited
to
be
picked
up
patiently.
D.
Passengers
would
feel
proud
of
how
they
were
treated
on
the
plane.
(D)
　　Why
doesn’t
the
unemployment
rate
ever
reach
zero
Economists,
who
generally
believe
that
supply
tends
to
meet
demand,
have
long
thought
about
this
question.
Even
in
good
times,
i.e.
not
now,
there
are
people
who
can’t
find
work.
And
even
in
bad
times,
i.e.
now,
there
are
job
openings.
With
over
14
million
people
out
of
work
and
looking
for
a
job,
you
would
think
every
available
job
would
be
filled.
But
that’s
not
the
case.
Not
now
and
not
ever.
On
Monday,
the
Nobel
Prize
committee
awarded
the
prize
for
economics
to
the
three
scholars
who
have
done
the
most
to
explain
this
phenomenon.
Two
of
the
winners
are
Americans,
Peter
Diamond
of
MIT
and
Dale
Mortensen
of
Northwestern.
The
third
winner
is
Christopher
Pissarides,
who
teaches
at
the
London
School
of
Economics
and
was
born
on
Cyprus.
Like
most
of
economics,
what
they
have
found
about
why
the
jobless
and
ready-employers
don’t
find
each
other
seems
obvious.
You
have
to
find
out
there
is
job
opening
you
are
interested
in.
Employers
need
to
get
resumes.
It
takes
a
while
for
both
employers
and
employees
to
make
the
decision
that
this
is
what
they
want.
And
these
guys
came
up
with
a
frame-work
to
study
the
problem
of
why
people
stay
unemployed
longer
than
they
should
and
what
can
be
done
about
it.
So
what
would
today’s
Nobel
Prize
winners
do
to
solve
the
current
problem
of
the
unemployed
And
does
the
awarding
of
the
prize
contribute
to
the
politicians’
lowering
joblessness
Speaking
from
his
north
London
home,
Pissarides
told
The
Associated
Press
the
announcement
came
as
“a
complete
surprise”
though
his
work
had
already
helped
shape
thinking
on
both
sides
of
the
Atlantic.
For
example,
the
New
Deal
for
Young
People,
a
British
government
policy
aimed
at
getting
18-24-year-olds
back
on
the
job
market
after
long
periods
of
unemployment,
“is
very
much
based
on
our
work,”
he
said.
“One
of
the
key
things
we
found
is
that
it
is
important
to
make
sure
that
people
do
not
stay
unemployed
too
long
so
they
don’t
lose
their
feel
for
the
labor
force,”
Pissarides
told
reporters
in
London.
“The
ways
of
dealing
with
this
need
not
be
expensive
training
–
it
could
be
as
simple
as
providing
work
experience.”
78.
According
to
the
writer,
which
is
true
about
finding
jobs
　
A.
It
is
always
difficult
to
find
a
job.
　
B.
Everyone
can
find
a
job
in
good
times.
　
C.
Contrary
to
popular
belief,
it
is
easier
to
find
a
job
in
bad
times.
　
D.
It
is
possible
to
find
a
job
even
in
times
as
bad
as
now.
79.
What
is
it
that
leads
to
their
winning
the
prize
　
A.
They
have
found
the
reason
for
unemployment.
　
B.
They
have
put
forward
a
set
of
ideas
to
deal
with
unemployment.
　
C.
They
have
found
out
why
people
don’t
want
to
be
employed.
　
D.
They
have
long
studied
the
problem
of
unemployment.
80.
Which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true
according
to
the
passage
　
A.
Pissarides
thinks
his
work
surprising.
　
B.
The
work
of
Pissarides
has
influenced
many
economists.
　
C.
Some
of
the
winners’
ideas
have
been
put
into
practice.
　
D.
It
is
probable
that
unemployed
young
people
in
Britain
benefit
from
Pissarides’
work.
81.
According
to
Pissarides,
_________
is
effective
in
dealing
with
unemployment.
　
A.
spending
large
sums
of
money
on
training
　
B.
teaching
some
knowledge
of
economics
　
C.
providing
work
experience
　
D.
keeping
people
unemployed
for
some
time
