Information technology, although only one of many new features of the next society, is already
having one hugely important effect: it is allowing knowledge to spread near-instantly , and making
it accessible to everyone. Given the ease and speed at which information travels, every institution
in the knowledge society-not only businesses, but also schools, universities, hospitals and increasingly
government agencies too-has to be globally competitive, even though most organizations will continue
to be local in their activities and in their markets. This is because the Internet will keep customers
everywhere informed on what is available anywhere in the world, and at what price.
This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers. At present, this term is
widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning :doctors,
lawyers, teachers, accountants chemical engineers. But the most striking growth will be in “knowledge
technologists”: computer technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs, manufacturing
technologists, paralegals. These people are as much manual（体力劳动)workers and they are
knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with
their brains, but their manual work is based on a substantial amount of theoretical knowledge which
can be acquired only through formal education ,not through an apprenticeship（学徒期). They
are not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see themselves as
"professionals”, just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and
political force in the 21th century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant
social-and perhaps also political-force over the next decades.
B. customers keep track of new products worldwide
C. anyone can have access to knowledge anytime and anywhere
D. local organizations such as universities and hospitals will be globalized.
B. results from a highly competitive society
C. is likely to increase information flow
D. will become the biggest problem to tackle
B. those who work with hands rather than brains
C. those who have acquired theoretical knowledge through apprenticeship
D. those who have received higher education and got theoretical knowledge
B. they are equipped with a large amount of theoretical knowledge
C. they see themselves professionals rather than traditional skilled workers.
D. They acquire skills through traditional apprenticeship
B. most interesting
C. most diligent
D. quite available

bad , it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏
性的) . 1 But like all emotions ,anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects .
Anger is a motivating force .
In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force. 2 .When we see
something as beneficial , we want it more when we are angry . So, when used right, constructive anger
can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want.
3
It may sound like a strange thing to say , but angry people have something in common with happy
people. That"s because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more
fear are more pessimistic (悲观的) about the future and expect further terrors.
Anger can benefit relationships.
Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our
anger, our partner doesn"t know he"s done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it 4 The
expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen
relationships.
Anger provides self-understanding.
Anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive
outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we
can learn what to do to improve our lives 5
A. Anger reduces violence.
B. Anger can encourage self-change.
C. Angry people are more optimistic.
D. And that doesn"t do our relationship any good.
E. That"s because it"s a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.
F. Most of us treat our anger as though it"s unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.
G. Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.
bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.
All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices ? just about
everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George
Fox and his party, but failed.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing" ?? "soft-soaping" or "butter-up".
A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody, or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is
flattery, giving someone high praise ?? telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how
talented and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the
thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so
little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just
lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to
ourselves.
Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good
example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got
tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to the
skies, as a man of limitless power.
He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered
the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might
show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.
B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management
C. A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers
D. A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.
B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good
C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride
D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.
B. he disliked being overpraised any more
C. he wanted them to realize how wise he was
D. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king
B. lack confidence
C. are politicians or in high offices
D. think highly of themselves
conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward
are often never mentioned at all.
We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the
length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of
them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure
of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries
are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors.
It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages;
hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage(野人) is good,
but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them
how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being
civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able
to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater
number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only
has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it
means saying that might(权利) is right.
B. are greater than any other people
C. are not as great as described in history books
D. do not really help civilization forward
on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because ________.
B. they fought bravely to protect their cities
C. people think they fought too brutally(野蛮地)
D. they conquered many cities and countries
B. Critical.
C. Ironic.
D. Respectful.
B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
C. should settle their quarrels without fighting
D. should settle their quarrels by killing the other side
six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were
coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1
members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated
by a screen so they couldn"t touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer
talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and
then touched their own noses or eyes.
Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden
droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected
physical contact might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a
student volunteer, 11 became infected-compared with only one of those who had been sitting at the
table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.
"The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting
virus," says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney"s reputation as
a leading authority. Dr. Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common
Cold."
When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies: "If you mean "get
rid of", I don"t think we"re going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you
look in the dictionary, you"ll see that "cure" is explained as a successful treatment. And we"re not just
getting more effective at treating the symptoms (症状)-we"re getting at the root cause too. "
B. infect the student volunteer
C. find out the role physical contact plays in the common colds
D. find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds
B. touching the infected person
C. sitting together with the infected person
D. talking with the infected person
B. Only one of the people who had spent three days and nights together became infected.
C. Dr. Gwaltney conducted many an experiment as to the cause of colds.
D. Dr. Gwaltney tested altogether 43 volunteers to see how they could develop colds.
B. a nickname (绰号) of respect to Dr. Gwaltney
C. a method to cure colds
D. a way by which the other scientists laughed at Dr. Gwaltney
B. they have managed to wipe out the cold viruses
C. they have meant to experiment more
D. they have made much progress in dealing with colds
Every country has many good people who help to take care of others. Some high school and college
students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in a hospital, orphanage (孤儿院) or
home for the aged.
They read books to the people who must be in these places or they just visit them and play games or
listen to their problems. Other young people volunteer to collect food or money, or they work in the
homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow
their lawns. There is a group of volunteers to meet almost every need. For boys who no longer have
fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to
baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to know about things that boys usually learn from their
fathers. Every city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go play games or to learn crafts.
Some of these clubs have movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or
other places of interest. Most of these clubs use many high school and college students as volunteers
because they still remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the
happiest people in the world are those ________________________.
