A
COLUMBIA City, Indiana------For Robin Smith, the hard plastics company where she works has become a worker’s paradise since the work week was cut from 40 to 30 hours last May with no pay cut.
“I love it. I like spending more time with my family and less time at work and getting paid for it,” said the mother of three.
Hard Plastics is part of a growing number of US companies that are experimenting with the so-called “30/40” plan to replace the 40-hour working week.
Unlike in Europe, where cutting the working week is seen as a way to reduce unemployment, US companies see the 30/40 program mainly as a tool to increase productivity.
At the Hard Plastics plant, some 150 women employees work 6-hour daily for a 30-hour working week. And if they show up every day on time, they receive a 10-hour bonus for the week.
“But if you’re even one minute late, sorry Charlie, no bonus,” said Ronald Ronald Richey, the company’s president.
“We’re in a very low unemployment market here, 2.5 percent for the town—Whitley,” said Ronald Richey. “The idea was to draw more quality applicants.”
With 30/40, the company, which employs 325 people at two plants in Indiana and has yearly sales of US $30 million, has greatly broadened its applicant pool. Some 40 people apply every week, among them many with long years of work experience or even college degrees.
The idea was first put forward by industrial psychologist(心理学家) Ron Healey. He said more and more companies were expressing interest in his program and were even testing it.
56. According to the text, what is the “30/40”program? __________
A. An employee works 30 hours a week with 40 hours’ pay.
B. An employee works for 10 hours extra every week and gets paid.
C. A woman employee with a family has the right to work 30 hours a week.
D. A woman employee gets paid even if she stays at home during work hours.
57. A “30/40 plan” is being tested in Hard Plastics with an aim to _________.
A. let working women enjoy their family life B. improve employees’ working conditions
C. reduce unemployment in Whitley D. raise the company’s productivity
58. We can learn from the text that with 30/40, the company is able to _______.
A. employ more women workers B. employ more college graduates
C. choose their employees from among many applicants
D. help the town in its effort to reduce unemployment
59. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Hard Plastics: a worker’s paradise B. US: shorter week produces more
C. 30/40 program: a better way to reduce unemployment
D. Ron Healey: his contribution to industrial psychology

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions . It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away . The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make decision---a matter of life or death .
Animals' ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call "genetic (遗传性的)learning" , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species ---animals of the same kind---as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However , the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past . The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning .
In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive .
64.The animal's life will come to an end_____________. .
A.if the animal makes a wrong decision B.if the animal plays a dangerous game
C.when the animal attacks its enemy D.when the animal runs too slowly
65.Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because____________. .
A.each generation has its own way of learning B.their environments change all the time
C.they can act reasonably on their own D.it takes their whole life to learn
66.When the environment doesn't change much , _____________. .
A.animals cannot act in a right way B.genetic learning is less important for animals
C.individual learning plays a less important role
D.animals cannot get over problems on their on their own
67.Animals' living on generation after generation depends on _____________. .
A.their natural action pattern with their own experience
B.the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime
C.their experience in particular environments D.the knowledge passed on by their parents

British potato farmers were angry and wanted the expression “couch potato” to be taken out of the dictionary because it harmed the vegetable’s image.
The British Potato Council wants the Oxford English Dictionary to replace the expression with the term “couch slouch”, with protests being outside Parliament in London and the offices of Oxford University Press.
Kathryn Race, head of marketing at the Council, which represents some 4,000 planters and processors, said the group had complained in writing to the OED but had yet to receive a response.
“We are trying to get rid of the image that potatoes are bad for you,” she said on Monday.
“The potato has had its knocks in the past. Of course it is not the Oxford English Dictionary’s fault but we want to use another term instead of “couch potato” because potatoes are naturally healthy.”
The OED says that “couch potato” began as American slang, meaning “a person who spends his or her leisure time sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes.”
The Potato Council says its campaign is backed by dieticians (饮食学家) who say the vegetable is low in fat and high in vitamin C.
Supporting the campaign, famous cook Antony Worrall Thompson said the vegetable was one of Britain’s favorite foods.
“Not only are they healthy, they are also convenient and yummy (美味). Life without potato is like a sandwich without a filling,” he said.
John Simpson, chief editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, said the dictionary first included the term “couch potato” in 1993 and said “dictionaries just reflect the words that society uses.”
Simpson said words were never taken out of the full-length dictionary, which includes some 650,000 words in 20 volumes.
But little-used words can be removed from the smaller dictionaries to make way for newer ones.
“If society stops using words then they get taken out of the smaller dictionaries,” he added.
The first known recorded use of the expression “couch potato” was in an article in Los Angeles Times, in 1979, Simpson said.
Nigel Evans, a member of Parliament for the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, has made a motion in support of the campaign, highlighting the nutritional value of the British potato.
71.British potato farmers wanted to _________.
A.advertise their produces B.call for a higher price for their potatoes
C.remove the expression “couch potato” from the dictionary
D.let people know how important the potato is in people’s lives
72.The farmers think that _________.
A.potatoes have had a bad image B.Potatoes are good for people by nature
C.potatoes sometimes do harm to people
D.it’s the dictionary’s fault to use the expression “couch potato”
73.John Simpson thinks that _________.
A.the expression can be taken out of every kind of dictionary
B.dictionaries do not necessarily reflect the words the society uses
C.little-used words can remain in the smaller dictionaries
D.it is impossible for them to take the expression out of the dictionary
74.What is wrong with the expression “couch potato” according to the farmers in this passage?
A.It is connected with unfavorable meaning. B.Potato should be used in the expression.
C.It is borrowed from America English. D.It refers to a kind of person.
75.What's the best title of this passage?
A. A potato or Coach Potato? B.What's Wrong With Potato?
C.Never Be A Coach Potato. D.How Couch Potato Came into Dictation?
