Ive long made Yosemite my home.About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of waste, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area.

But in xx, together with some climbers, I set a date for a cleanup. On that day, more than 300 people showed up. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to acplish. I (30) _ not believe the difference we made -the park looked clean!I often hear people (31) _ (plain) about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than plaining. We need to teach by example. You cant blame others (32)_ you start with yourself.(B) For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine (33)_can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).

This can be one of the_42_ skills you help your kids develop outside of school.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearers _51_, personality, status, mood, and social outlook. Since clothes are such an important _52_ of social information, we can use them to manipulate peoples impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the_53_ phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle class man or woman may be _54_ by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the persons education, background, or interests. People tend to_55_ what certain types of clothes mean. Young women can easily identify with the _56_ of girls who wear certain outfits, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more _57_, honest, and petent when they are dressed conservatively. And collage students who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter-personal relationships say they are _58_ about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. _59_, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we act ed.

In the workplace, men have long had well defined precedents and role models for _61_ success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine” and “feminine” attributes they should _62_ by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing _63_ to women has also been greater than that avail able for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more _64_ for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” grooming (打扮)-shorter hair, moderate use of make up, and plain tailored clothing.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWe all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 78 hours sleep alternation with some 1617 hours wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with (与一致) the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.The question is no more an academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally, takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence (发生率) of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of theses phenomena among those on permanent night work.This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy , but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the strains of alternative day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most likely to the change of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adopted is by measuring his body temperature. People engaged in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.66. By saying “The question is no more an academic one”, the author want to say_. A. many people like to change the cycle of sleeping and working B. sleeping normally coincides with the hours of darknessC. automation calls for people to change their sleeping habitsD. changing peoples sleeping and working pattern is not easy.67. The main problem of the round-the- clock working system lies in _.A. the inconvenience caused by the automation to the workersB. the disturbance of changing the cycle too frequentlyC. the lack of working efficiency on night shiftsD. the difficulty finding a number of good night workers68. The best remedy for the disorders among the alternating working-time workers seems to be_.A. changing the round-the-clock working systemB. allowing the night-shift workers to sleep more efficientlyC. employing people who work on night shifts onlyD. making a more flexible working schedule for night workers69. Which of the following statements can conclude the passage?A. The change of body temperature as an indication of a workers performance.B. The possible solutions to the problems of the round-the-clock working system.C. Easy ways to adapt the body temperature to the changes of the night shifts.D. Less disturbance to those who alternate day and night shifts at a longer interval.B A Member of FORT DELGROfortable airport & city transfers:MaxiCab (seats 6 passengers)Booking Hotline: +65 6542 8297or book at the Airport Shuttle counter at Terminal I or Terminal 2 MaxiCab Service RatesTransfer to Airport/other destination $35Hourly Service (per hour - minimum 2 hours) $35Applicable additional charges: -Between midnight to 6 am, an additional $12 per transfer or per hour-For en-route stop to final destination, an additional $5 per stop apply otherwise $20-Administrative charges of 10% of total fare for all Credit CardpaymentsPersonalized tours:SingaporeCabby TourConducted by licensed toad tourist guidesapproved by the Singapore Tourism BoardExclusive private tours In 6-neater MaxiCabs,4-seater Mercedes LimoCabs and normal cabsFlexible pick up times and locationsExtension of additional attractions and restaurants upon requestCabby tour highlightsTour 1: Singapore Lifestyle ExperienceTour 2: City & Cultural ExperienceTour 3: Eastern Heartland ExperienceTour 4: Western Heartland ExperienceTour 5: Singapore Round Island TourTour 6: Farm VisitsTour 7: Singapore by Night TourTour8: Local Favorite Food& AttractionsTours start from just$105 per vehicle Bookings call:+65 6542 5831 or+ 65 6542 8297citycab.sg70.

The man always in black had craggy face and piercing eyes a daunting way of turning aside reporters questions with a look or a curl of his lip. But all that changed with one disapproving glance from June. Where the Cashes were concerned, Johnny may have been large, but June was in charge.Their long sometimes beautiful, sometimes harrowing relationship throughout the late 1950s and mid-60s is the focus of Walk the Line, an Oscar-winning biopic. But it also explores the dark moments, as Johnny spiraled into drug addition, Cash himself had laid bare his demons in his two autobiographies. He had to go through his own hell to reach redemption, and his saving grace was June. “Im kind of cynical about married people singing together,” admits Joaquin Phoenix, the actor who portrays Cash in the film. “But it was truly magical when they did it. They just looked into each others eyes.”Writer-director James Mangolds script for Walk the Line is based on Cashs two autobiographies as well as interviews with Johnny and June over several years at the couples cabin in the Tennessee woods. “We went to their house for breakfast. It was a very powerful experience. They said a beautiful grace before breakfast, and they sang a song together.” Mangolds wife recounts her first meeting with the iconic couple. Actually it was a familiar scene at the Carter-Cash household. June enjoyed conducting her interviews during breakfast at that same log cabin while frying eggs and bacon, and shed interrupt the conversation to ask, “John, you want another egg?” or, “John Cash, you dont need any more bacon.”In the heady times of the late 1950s, fans in Texarkana could see Johnny and the Tennessee Two on the same bill. At the time, Cash wasnt the onstage powerhouse of his peers. “I think that when John started out, he didnt expect a grueling tour schedule,” Phoenix said. “I had a book listing the gigs that they played back then, which was unbelievable.”Old-time Nashville stars and insiders are protective of the couple that acted as encouraging benefactors to so many. Duane Allen, lead singer of the Oak Ridge Boys and a friend of the Cashes, said, “There were no boundaries for Johnny and June. They appealed to everyone, and they treated everyone like family.” Their friendship smoothed the Grammy-winning groups rocky transition from gospel to the country mainstream in the 70s. Decades later, the Oak Ridge Boys sang for Johnny at Junes funeral, Allen said. “It was the most soul-wrenching thing Ive ever done.” Cash died a few months later in xx, walking one last line behind his beloved June.74.
