That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes before signing(签约)it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.
I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything. If anyone questioned them, we would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.
So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like, Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position, of course, and that is something only you can determine.
小题1:Filling out application forms is much “easier” because_______.
A.everything connected with application forms is easier |
B.you can control the form filling with enough time |
C.you can plan and have control of the needed time |
D.it is easier to collect information about pre-employment |
A.questions in a form must be answered |
B.everything in a form must be read carefully |
C.the conditions that interest you are changeable |
D.something of your interests is most important |
A.you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed |
B.questions in a form are more important |
C.you have little right to determine the conditions you like most |
D.it depends on yourself to settle things in a form |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:B
小题3:D
解析
试题解析:考查社会生活类文章阅读,本文讲的是填写入职表格时应该明确知道的该填写的不能改变的条款和可以通过协商达成一致的条款。
小题1:B 事实细节题。根据第一段最后一句:filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.,天下申请表更加容易,因为你有因为你有绝对的自主权以及足够的时间去思考安排,所以得出B正确。
小题2:B 细节推理题。根据第二段What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there;你必须知道知道那些条款条件是高薪请来的律师拟定的,字字关键,否则也不会书诸文字,所以判断出B正确。。
小题3:D推理判断题。根据第四段段意:所以当你看到印有问题或是条款条件的申请表,慢慢地通读。如果你不喜欢某些地方,你完全可以予以更改,记住没有协商解决不了的事。至于解决的程度就看你的立场了,这种事当然取决于你,所以得出D正确。

举一反三
Why can"t my daughter manage her life better? She is 17 and an honor student, but she seems to be wasting her life away with a boyfriend who is holding her back.
He consumes every waking minute of her precious time and smooth-talks her as well.
His goal is to get her to agree to go to the college of his choice, not her choice, and because his grades are lower, his choice will be limited.
I feel like I want to rescue her, but she pushes me away and shuts me out. She has only brought us pride and joy; and now this! Help!
A worried mother
Dear Mother of a 17-year-old Girl,
Hmmmmm. What"s the matter with kids today? Remember that song from "Bye Bye Birdie"?
Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, nor should it be.
Life experience creates both the conditions and the skills for management, and if management went before experience, there would be little of it.
Your daughter is an honor student for good reasons. She is smart, studies with intelligence and you have given her good values.
When the time comes for her to apply for college, and she visits the ones that are specifically designed for students at the top of their grade, she will most likely break away from her boyfriend"s influence.
It is rare for an honor student to change the path of their academic career for puppy love. That being said, there might be some adolescent wisdom in her behavior after all.
Perhaps she is choosing to worry you, her parents, for unconscious reasons. Being such a good girl and being a steady source of joy might have become a bit too much for her.
Let your daughter have her own private moment of 11th grade rebellion. She deserves a break from perfection.
Michelle

Often people feel that they can find the latest styles only in the city. Other people are interested in technological (科技的) things and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages (不利因素) of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.
However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages (好处) of living in the city.
Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
Because they have e-mail and personal computers, they don"t have to be in big cities to do their business. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with technology. Now they can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful careers.
小题1:The underlined phrase “put up with” (in Para. 3) probably means “_____”.
A.change | B.stand |
C.be angry with | D.be pleased with |
A.because of the Internet and fast travel |
B.because of e-mail and personal computers |
C.because travel is fast |
D.because the rural areas are developing faster than cities |

Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this can cause the association(联想) that others make with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, and people who are considered good-natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality is shaped to fit in. Dr David Holmes said, “This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name, for example, the original meaning of Judy is ‘praised’.”
Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are the happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are the happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
Dr Holmes said, “The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes (同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care.”
“Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristic. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies,” said Dr Holmes, “while names connected with ordinary people are rarely chosen for their babies.”
小题1:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.How to choose a good name for babies. |
B.The relation between names and happiness. |
C.How to have a name connected with celebrities. |
D.The relation between names and success. |
A.Joshua and Ben. | B.Pauline and Frank. |
C.Richard and Stuart. | D.Ruth and Joshua. |
A.names and product brands |
B.famous people’s names |
C.names and personality |
D.parents’ choices of baby names |
A.Personality and self-confidence. | B.Self-confidence and position. |
C.Position and characteristic. | D.Personality and appearance. |
Unfortunately we have the other extreme. This is the introvert. The introvert feels sick in crowds, and does not like them. These people feel awkward in the crowds, when placed in this type of situation. Many introverts are shy and lack confidence. They need to get used to people, and want to run away when questioned by people.
The introvert feels very lonely in a crowd, but this could happen to the outgoing as well.
I think that I fall into the middle of the two kinds. Sometimes if I am comfortable about the type of people in the crowds, I feel welcome. If for some reason the crowd consists of different types of people, then I do not feel very comfortable in the crowd.
So what do I do when I suddenly feel lost and alone in the crowd? I try to calm my mind by taking deep breath and telling myself that even this will pass. I then try, and get away from the crowd by making excuses or even trying to get to my car and go home. This, of course, is a poor excuse and doesn’t often work well. These are excuses that are employed. The ones that I am not so proud of are acting like I have an emergency to go to. This is a very good lie, but I feel really bad afterwards.
I have tried this one, and have succeeded. I try and find someone who feels just like I do. I then try and make a new friend. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not. This is quite a noble way of staying in the crowd.

The first McDonald"s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.
After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multimixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald"s chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers" chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m(£44m). Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc"s claim that the chain was his creation.
Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at McDonald"s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald"s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald —— “in any language he means fun” —— on to television in 1963.
Every three hours, a new McDonald"s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald"s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you"ve got time to lean, you"ve go time to clean.”
小题1: McDonald"s was founded _____.
A.by a kitchen equipment salesman |
B.in California. |
C.by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald. |
D.after the first World War. |
A.They were not McDonald"s founders although they named the restaurant. |
B.Their business was still in depression after several years. |
C.They had clear job separation on business. |
D.They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954. |
A.He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television. |
B.Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fame |
C.He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants. |
D.He built McDonald"s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination. |
A.The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founder |
B.The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world. |
C.Employees in McDonald"s have no time to lean. |
D.The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus. |
