I gave her arm a friendly as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He'll understand I am sure!”O(jiān)h, what a smile can do!

31、ow Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest.

38、g Day changed with the time and placesCIt is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses $5 billion every year.Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as a modest pay rise, researchers say.高一英語試題（第

39、7頁，共14頁）Praise and encouragement also make employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs, saving on the cost of finding replacements.A third of 1000 workers surveyed by consulting firm White Water Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said

40、 they were not thanked enough. In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.The net result is around $5.2 billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their game if they felt mo

41、re appreciated, White Water claimed according to the company, praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their boss was important to them, but only a quarter said they

42、were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight

43、out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers .in the Northeast are less impressed by being buttered up by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly.Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Aver ill Lemo

49、 bosses in Scotland usually praise and encourage their staff enough D. if undervalued employees will certainly look for employment elsewhereDA serious problem for today's society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but a

50、lso a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a compan

51、y must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.高一英語試題（第9頁，共14頁）Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for

52、 his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take r

53、esponsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some in-situation should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our count

54、ry shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can 'seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where the

55、y are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.61. What is the passage mainly about? A. The problems faced by the old in soc
