He was the only boy among a great many girl cousins. That was enough to make him important, but his father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going

19、to be artist. Picasso knew the word for pencil even before he could say Mamma and Papa. When he was small, he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees. One of his f

20、avorite models was his younger sister, Lola. Don Jose Ruiz, Picassos father, was director of the museum at Malaga in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don Jose Ruiz loved pigeon very muc

21、h. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them on to canvas; sometimes he stuck real feathers on to his pictures. He knew a great deal about the technique of painting and he taught it all to Picasso. Life in Malaga was

22、 very pleasant. In the hot Mediterranean sunshine father and son would walk down to the beach to look at boats on the shore or wander round the open markets. They made a strange pair. Don Jose Ruiz was tall and thin, with red hair and beard, sad grey eyes and a fine set of whiskers. He was so shy an

Flexible hours, or

26、 “ Flextime”, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 5000 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s, but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers t

27、o start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must present for certain “key” times in the day, and secondly，that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week. The system has proved a total success wherever it has been t

28、ried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving. From the employers point of view, the system tends to increase p

29、roductivity, reduce labor hour turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty. At first, “flexible” was mainly confined to white collar workers, but it is now applied to manual workers too.44. Flexible working hours were firstly used by the _. A. British B. Germans C. Americans D. Japanese45.

30、 According to “ Flextime” system workers need not _. A. ask for leave when being absent B. work all the weekdays C. work hard D. work at the same time46. “Key” time is a period when _. A. all workers must be at work B. visitors come to the plants C. employers go round in the workshop D. rush hours a

31、re over47. No matter where it used, this system has proved _. A. totally correct B. entirely effective C. a complete failure D. Quite difficult48. One of the great advantages of “Flextime” for workers is that they _. A. have a great sense of duty B. can get higher pay C .can avoid busy traffic D. ca

32、n avoid working hard CTaste is a subjective matter that we dont usually carry out preference tests for food. The most you say about anyones preference is that its one persons opinion. But because the two big cola companies- Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively(氣勢(shì)逼人), weve wondered h

33、ow big a role taste preference actually plays in the choice of brand. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans; Find your brand in a blind testing. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pep

34、si, Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought theyd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We at last located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet ver

35、sions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records to compare the participants choices with what mere guesswork could have achieved.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed t

36、hey could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse - only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict

37、, nearly half the participants in each group make the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Over all, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so tiredness, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Out preference test results s

38、uggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price. 49According to passage the preference test was given in order to _. A. find out the role taste preference plays in a persons drinking B. reveal which cola is more to the liking

39、 of the drinkersC. show that a persons opinion about taste is more guessworkD. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks50. The records in the preference tests show _.A. Cola-Cola and Pepsi are peoples two favorite drinksB. there is not much difference in taste between Cola-Co

40、la and PepsiC. few people had trouble telling Cola-Cola from PepsiD. peoples tastes differ from one another51.It is implied(暗示) in the first paragraph that _.A. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasB. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC. th

41、e competition between the two colas is very strongD. blind testing is necessary for identifying fans52.

42、because of extreme use53.

43、n the quality control of colas D. Successful people always have a dream. They dream big dreams and then show great courage to do things that others say cannot be done.Your dreams form the foundation of success. Many people have long forgotten the dreams they used to have when they were kids. As they

44、 grow older, they are simply to caught up with their work activities that they fail to discover what they really want to pursue in life.To get you back on track to pursue your dreams, follow these steps:Learn to dream again; We are born to dream. But we hear of teachers calling in school: “Stop drea

45、ming and pay attention in class!” Parents , too, have shouted, “Stop dreaming and go on with your homework!” In the end, many do get “realistic” and give up their dreams in time.Dream big dreams; Never set mental boundaries on what you are able to achieve. Dreams are free anyway so as long as you ar

46、e dreaming, you might as well dream big. Many people cannot realize their dreams and achieve greater success because they limit their own beliefs.Flee from dream killers; Dream killers are destructive to your success. Your friends, colleagues and even loved ones can be one of your dream killers. The

47、re are people who will try to change, confuse or persuade you to build the life they want, not the life that you want.Stop listening to the people who tell you why you will not achieve your dreams. You just need to believe you can do whatever it is you want to do.You should stop giving reasons why y

48、ou cannot achieve your dreams. Many so-called reasons are merely excuse.Take action immediately; Once you have big and clear dreams, take immediate action to work toward making them come true.Weeks later, the passion will grow cold and months later, that passion may be gone forever. Think about this

49、; Five birds are resting on the fence and minutes later, three birds decide to fly off to search for food. How many birds are left on the fence?Two? Wrong!
