Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues, although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel necessary, said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder.com, an online job site．As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow, 16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, 10 percent shared a secret about a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally．Five percent said they had shared a secret about the company, and 4 percent confessed to singing karaoke．While 21 percent of those who attended said happy hours were good for networking, 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position．An equal number of men and women said they attended happy hours with co-workers, with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend．Overall, 21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and; of those nearly a quarter go at least once a month.
The survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of CareerBuilder.com among 6,987 full-time employees between February 11 and March 13．Harris Interactive said the results had a sampling error of plus or minus 1.2 percentage points.
56．Harris Interactive made the survey to find out ________.
A．how U.S．workers spend their after-work time
B．what U.S．workers do at after-work drinks
C．the relationships between U.S．workers
D．who are most likely to attend after-work drinks
57．________ of workers who attend after-work drinks speak ill of a colleague.
A．4 percent B．8 percent C．16 percent D．10 percent
58．According to the passage, most of those surveyed believed attending after-work drinks ________．
A．benefited them a lot B．could provide information
C．only made them relaxed D．was of no help to them
59．We can learn from the text that _________.
A．workers over 55 don’t like to attend happy hours at all
B．about 75% of workers go more than once a month
C．10.5% of male workers attend happy hours with co-workers
D．about 700 workers surveyed shared a secret about a co-worker
60．After the survey, it can be inferred that_________.
A．all the workers oppose after-work drinks
B．the workers may change their attitudes towards after-work drinks
C．all the workers support after-work drinks
D．all the workers are suggested going to attend after-work drinks
答案
解析
57．细节理解题。根据第二段“16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague,”可知bad-mouthing是“说坏话”的意思。
58．细节理解题。根据第二段“85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position.”可知85%的人认为这种聚会没什么好处。
59. 推理判断题。“.….．workers over 55 least likely to attend”意思是55岁以上的工人很少去聚会喝酒，并不能说明他们都不喜欢，所以A不正确。“.….．nearly a quarter go at least once a month”近四分之一的每周去一次并不意味着剩下的四分之三的人每周就去两次以上，还有些人可能不会去，所以B也不对。文章中没有确切的信息说明男工中有10.5%的人参加聚会，因此C也不对。
60．推理判断题。综合文章介绍的情况，85%美国工人下班后经常聚会喝酒并没有益处，因此被调查者应该会改变对这种聚会的态度。A，C，D选项太绝对。

Compared with Santana, Buick looks better, has greater capabilities and is safer and more comfortable, said a car leaser. “I don’t mind paying a higher cost for a Buick to enjoy the holiday,” he said.
SUV cars are very popular in the car renting market, according to some car rental firms.
“All the 31 Buick GL8SUV cars were leased out several days ago,” said an employee with the Shanghai Yongda Car Rental Co.

This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and firefighters chasing.
Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U. S. 19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.
"It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here, " said Niki Everitt, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.
Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville Quarry golf course.
The bear then wounded down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear(加入镇静剂的矛).planning to stick the bear by hand. "The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea, "said Capt. Frank Phillips of the Brooksville Fire Department.
Emergency officials waited until a tranquilizer gun was brought from Land O’ Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area.
It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are 2 years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.
"They’ re trying to find a land of their own, where they won ‘t get beat up, " said Lt. Rip Stalvey, a game commission spokesman.
Everitt said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since" we have never had a bear attack in Florida."
Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as acorns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply.
"If we don’t get some relief soon," Everitt said," we’re probably going to see a lot more of it."
1. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. Bear sightings in living areas worry people.
B. Policemen try hard to get the bears controlled.
C. People take up too much land from bears.
D. ears come out to disturb people’s lives.
2. Which is true according to the passage?
A. The 100-pound bear was caught near Luigi’s Pizza.
B The Gulf Coast Conservancy makes bears homeless.
C. Brooksville’s bear was too large to be caught by hand.
D. Bears frequently visit humans’ living areas.
3. Bear sightings can usually be expected ______.
A. in the cold season B. in the warm season
C. near lakes or rivers D. near Luigi’s Pizza
