My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, Ill watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, Ill take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christies daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “Shes like a different child when theres no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didnt have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom doesnt stutter once during our activities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, whos always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each childtalking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.34. What is the text mainly about? A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.35. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _. A. happy B. friendly C. regretful D. curious36. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children? A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.37. The author seems to believe that _. A. having brothers and sisters is funB. its tiring to look after three childrenC. every child needs parents full attentionD. parents should watch others children CPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定势). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.Thats why slight differences in conversational style tiny little things like microseconds of pause can have a great effect on ones life. The result in this cause was a judgment of psychological problems even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.38. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.39. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.40. We can learn from the passage that _. A. ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesB. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingC. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USD. one should receive training to build up ones confidence41. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. being willing to speak ones mindB. being able to increase ones powerC. being ready to make ones own judgmentD. being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyDThe health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price, quality, and use, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition, however, is not common in most of the health-care industry.In the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician and even then there may be no real choice it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday”, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as serious.This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions, but in general it is the doctors judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer”. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital, and for the most part the patient plays a passive role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.42. The authors primary purpose in writing this passage is to _. A. urge hospitals to reclaim (收回) their decision-making authority B. inform potential patients of their health-care rights C. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients D. analyze some important economic factors in health-care 43. It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies because _. A. most of patients bills are paid by his health insurance B. it is doctors who generate income for the hospital C. some patients might refuse to take their physicians advice D. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patients health 44. According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to “return next Wednesday”, the doctor is in fact _. A. advising the patient to seek a second opinion B. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary C. instructing the patient to buy more medical services D. admitting that the first visit was ineffective45. The author is most probably leading up to _. A. a proposal to control medical costs B. a study of lawsuits (诉讼) against doctors for malpractice C. an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US D. a discussion of a new medical treatment四、语言知识及应用（满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Last Christmas, I didnt get a single Christmas present.
