Lots of desperate people crowded th

29、e terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Dont ask us for help! We cannot help you!”I joined a crowd that ran from

30、terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who

31、 flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines (TWA). I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand

32、 corner of the first-class diners trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac（機場停機坪）in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonalds hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the ai

33、rline. I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think

34、the days are sure to come back one day in the near future. 56. Many people crowded the terminal because _. A. they were ready to board on the planes B. something was wrong with the terminal C. the flights to the Northeast were canceled D. the gate agent wouldnt help the passengers57. How did the wri

35、ter get to Providence at last?A. by air B. by van C. by train D. by underground 58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.C. Even a small mistake might cause

36、complaints from passengers in the past. D. McDonalds hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options. 59. What can be implied from the passage?A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.C. The writer with other passenger

37、s waited to be picked up patiently.D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane. B British men are encouraged to cry.There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves. The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup. They also believe they do n

38、ot cry. Over the centuries, Britons are believed to have a "stiff upper lip". But is this true?Yes, it is. A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions. Moreover, while 72 percent think this is unh

39、ealthy, 19 percent can't remember the last time they "let it out". As a result, Kleenex is launching the "Let It Out" campaign that encourages Brits to grab a tissue and have a good cry. These days, however, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing. Though the

40、 majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers. Scotsmen are the least emotional, alt

41、hough they are the most likely to cry at weddings. Peter Marsh, director of the center, said: "Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. Like with David Beckham, crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak. "Winston Churchill was said t

42、o be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter（防空洞）, and when he saw his wife after a long absence. Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: "If a man began to cry whe

43、n he was having stitches（縫針）in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp（軟弱的人）. Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain. "60. What does the passage mainly deal with?A. Impression of British men. B. British men's dream of the World Cup. C. Advice on how to control

44、 emotions. D. Different attitudes British men have towards crying. 61. Which of the following concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage?A. They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries. B. They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup

45、. C. About 50% of Britons admitted crying before their mothers. D. Nowadays, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing. 62.The word "contain" in paragraph 3 means _. A. store B. hold back C. include D. stir up63.What does the author think of the British men's crying?A. T

46、hey should cry if hurt. B. They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps. C. They should be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems. D. They should "let it out" whatever problems they meet with. C In our culture, the sources of what we c

47、all a sense of “mastery” feeling important and worthwhile and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure” finding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to hav

48、e closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children whats all this about wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two asp

49、ects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is

50、 tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her

51、 work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we

52、know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At

53、least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles marriages, motherhood, and employment were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.64. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. for women, a sense of “mastery” is more import

54、ant than a sense of “pleasure”B. for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”C. women cant have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same timeD. a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women65. The authors attitude towards

55、 women having a career is_.A. negativeB. positiveC. indifferentD. realistic66. One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social roles, _.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she will be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful67. Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women?A. Family life B. Mult
