Do Your HomeworkDo some market research to determine what others in your industry currently earn at your position. Websites such as

20、S and PayS offer tools that provide you with a salary range, and suggestions for how to determine where you fit in that range based on your skills and experience. You should also do informal research by polling your friends and colleagues in similar positionsas long as you work for different compani

21、es.2. Know Your EmployerMany companies have official policies for discussing salary increases. If your employer offers salary reviews once a year, thats probably the best time for you to negotiate (協(xié)商) a raise. If the companys practices are more flexible, take the pulse of the financial situation of

22、 your department and the corporation as a whole, when considering the timing of your discussion.3. Show Them What Youre WorthKeep a journal or list of your daily tasks and accomplishments. Use this documentation as evidence to support your claim that youre worthy of a salary increase.4. Have a Numbe

23、r in MindBased on your industry research, your responsibilities and your accomplishments, determine the salary you feel you deserve in advance of a meeting with your boss.5. Set Up a MeetingSchedule a meeting with your boss to discuss your desired raise. Know that your boss may want to do some resea

24、rch too, or meet first with Human Resources. Pushing for a meeting sooner than your boss offers definitely wont help your cause.6. Come PreparedWhen you meet with your boss, be ready to support your request with specifics about your performance and accomplishments, as well as goals for the future an

25、d additional responsibilities youre willing to take on. Keep the meeting professional and avoid discussing any personal reasons you feel you need a higher salary. Be careful to use tactics (手段) such as a competitive job offer to get a raisethey may cause opposite effect.7. Have a Plan BIf your boss

26、cant or wont give you a raise at the moment, ask what you can do to work towards a salary increase in the near future. Are there more responsibilities you can take on or aspects of your work you can improve on? If its a corporate budget issue, find out when might be a good time to revisit the conver

27、sation. In either case, schedule a meeting within a few months to discuss the matter again.41. The word “homework” in the first paragraph refers to _. A. work that is given by teachers for students to do at home B. Websites such as S and PayS C. tools and suggestions offered by websites D. market re

It is a wise way to get a raise by letting your boss know you are doing more. C. Only if you find a proper time to talk with your boss will you get a raise.D. Yo

31、u should schedule a meeting within a few months to discuss the matter again. BHeres one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. A new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. This brain activity

32、 probably doesn't make you smarter. When cell phones are on, they emit (發(fā)出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. Scientists don't know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. Studies like this one are attempting to find it

33、out.The 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. Each one had two Samsung cell phones attached to his or her head one on each ear. The phone on the left ear was off. The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn't hear it becau

34、se the sound was off.With this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. After 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given PET scans.The

35、PET scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participant's brain hadn't changed during the experiment. The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. These right-side brain cells were

36、 using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests that the brain cells there were active even without the person hearing anything. That activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiation from the phone.Henry Lai, who works at the University of Washin

37、gton in Seattle, is uncomfortable with the data related to cell phones. Holding a cell phone to your ear during a conversation is “not really safe,” Lai told Science News. Lai is a bioengineer at the University of Washington in Seattle. He wrote an article about the new study for a journal, but he d

38、id not work on the study. Bioengineers bring together ideas from engineering and biology.For those who don't want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely. You can have short and sweet conversations, use a speakerphone or keep the

39、 phone away from your head.45. Which of the following statement is true?A. Scientists are sure that cell phones are bad for the brain.B. In the experiment, the left side of the brain used more glucose.C. Radiation from the phone causes the change in the brain.D. Henri Lai wrote a lot of articles abo

40、ut this new study.46. Why werent the participants allowed to have a conversation on the phone during the experiment?A. Because that would be too noisy and bad for the experiment.B. Because they really looked strange and no one wanted to talk to others.C. Because they were given PET scans and they lo

41、st the ability to talk.D. Because the scientists want to be sure of the accuracy of the experiment.47. What is glucose?A. A type of sugar that provides vitamin to brain cells. B. Something that the right side of the brain used. C. A type of sugar that gives energy to brain cells. D. Something that m

42、akes a human excited.48. According to the last two paragraphs, which is the safest way to use a cell phone? A. Holding the cell phone close to your head. B. Using a cell phone more than three hours a day.C. Taking the most powerful cell phone.D. Keeping the cell phone at a distance.49. Where is this

43、 article probably taken from? A. Literature magazine. B. Science News. C. Story books. D. Art Journal.CWhen should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory (強制的) age limit?Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other peopl

44、e, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to re

45、tire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have an immense amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire

46、. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates

47、 that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to b

48、e sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and egocentric to be

49、lieve that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limit

50、s, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their lifes labor by being given generous pensions (養(yǎng)老金) and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngste

51、rs who cant find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine. With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to

52、compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individuals freedom and right to work and can deprive society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.50. What i

53、s the purpose of this passage? A. To explain the compulsory age limit. B. To discuss the retirement age. C. To examine peoples working life. D. To introduce a particular stage.51. Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage? A. Their co

54、ntribution should be valued. B. Their experience should be made use of. C. They can help the youngsters. D. They are loyal employees.52. It can be inferred in the fourth passage that _. A. the young people have more creative spirits B. Modern advances in medicine make old people never die C. Pension

55、s and freedom are not given to the old now D. old people believe that a younger person could do better53. The passage is arranged as follows: 54. What is the authors opinion on the retirement age? A. The author thinks when to retire depends on the employees themselves. B. The author is against lengt

56、hening the retirement age. C. The author thinks that retirement age varies from country to country. D. The author is in favor of allowing old people to continue working.DAt 4:00 A.M. on Sunday morning, my friend, Tim, awoke me. He was sleeping in the living room right next to the front door and said

57、 there was a man pounding on my front door and screaming. At first, I was like, "Shut up and leave me alone," but then I heard one of the scariest voices of my life. The man sounded of Spanish descent (血統(tǒng)), older, and in pain. I was home alone for the week, so I had two guns loaded with bullets. I had a rifle (步槍) next to my bed and a shotgun next to my front door. I grabbed my rifle. Tim asked me, "What are you doing?" "Getting my gun, what do you think I'm doing?" I asked. As I headed down the hall towards the front door,
