题型:不详难度:来源:
Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men, scientists have said. Studies show that ambitious women are often less likely to get ahead than those who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let assertive (过分自信的) women down, suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady.
Past research has shown that women with self-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
In one US study, researchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on.
The latest study set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the researchers got back in touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views.
小题1: What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?
A.Treated badlyB.Asked to leave
C.Looked down uponD.Made sb. have a disadvantage
小题2:According to the passage, if an ambitious woman and a similar man both ask the company for an extra payment, ______.
A.the woman is less likely to be accepted
B.the woman will work harder if she gets the payment
C.the man can make a good impression on the boss
D.they can be both accepted if they use proper words
小题3:The ambitious women in the latest study ______.
A.had been promoted only once or twice
B.tried hard to be as successful as gentle types
C.were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior
D.filled in the surveys after they graduated from college
小题4:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Successful management is highly praised in women.
B.Some women will be disappointed by the massage.
C.Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work.
D.The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss.
小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.How assertive women can control their behavior.
B.Feminists can do better by controlling their behavior.
C.Acting like a man won’t get women promoted at work.

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway(摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
小题1:What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?
A.To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B.To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C.To climb the highest mountain in California.
D.To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
小题2:How did Mark climb the mountain?
A.He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B.He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
C.He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D.He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
小题3: How did Mark lose the use of his legs?
A.He lost his footing and fell from the side of a mountain.
B.He fell during his first attempt on El Capitan.
C.His legs were broken by falling rocks.
D.While working out in the gym, he injured his backbone.
小题4:What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
A.He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B.A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
C.He kept falling several inches.
D.While swaying in space, he became terrified.
小题5:How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb?
A.He admitted that he was frightened.
B.He often worried about his friend’s condition.
C.He was able to remain clam and determined.
D.He was joking to cheer himself up.

My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for my kids, I had to continue to live and work as a small town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:“ I"m going to Afghanistan.”And a few weeks later, International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs ,we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule.Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami (海啸), Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war, and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees,_and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventure or not?”I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was gone. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I thought about the moment many times during my“adventures”. I didn"t know how predictive those words would be,but I knew that she was still with me.
小题1:Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
