26、Gabriela worked for a multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil. Later she was transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but soon realized that managing her new team would be a challenge.

Despite their friendliness, Gabriela didn’t feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her proposals openly in meetings. When she gave them instructions on how to carry out task, they would often go about it in their own way without checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would continue giving their opinions as if it were still up for discussion.

What Gabriela was experiencing was a cultural shock in expectations. Dutch psychologist Geert Hofstede uses the concept of “power distance” to describe how power is distributed in different cultures. In her previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture where power is respected. In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged. Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture where employees often work together with their bosses to find solutions and make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches who encourage independent thought and expect to be challenged.

When Gabriela became aware of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative(主动权)to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her leadership.

Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela’s team openly expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn’t trust them to do their job well.

With a better understanding of the reasons behind each other’s behaviour, Gabriela was able to make adjustments to her management style. Finally she effectively motivated her team to achieve their goals.

【1】What problem did Gabriela face with her Swedish team at the beginning?

A．Her Swedish staff didn’t understand her instructions.

B．Her authority was challenged by her Swedish staff.

C．They were always refusing to follow her directions.

D．They looked down upon her because she was a female.

【2】What is encouraged in the working culture in Sweden?

A．Professional spirit and risk-taking behaviour.

B．Independent thinking and friendly atmosphere.

C．Active participation and creative thinking.

D．Competitive spirit and mild character.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Gabriela?

A．Kind but changeable.

B．Strict but trustworthy.

C．Flexible and communicative.

D．Stubborn and forceful.

【4】What a lesson can we learn from Gabriela’s story?

A．Birds of a feather flock together.

B．Don’t judge a book by its cover.

C．Two heads are better than one.

D．When in Rome, do as Romans do.

27、The beaches and amusement parks of Florida are well known. But the state is also full of surprises, some even dating from prehistoric times.

● Amelia Island

Graced with 13 miles of beautiful beaches, forests, and a unique, colourful history, Amelia Island is the perfect spot for collecting seashells and riding mountain bikes. While enjoying the island’s distinctive reefs, visitors can swim, dive, or even go horseback riding on the beach.

● Big Cat Rescue

The 45-acre site provides safe shelter for almost 150 lions, tigers and other varieties of exotic cats to recover and heal in a natural environment.

● Biscayne National Park

The particular way to explore this watery paradise is by boat. A three-hour walk in a glass-bottomed boat gives you a colourful view of the reefs and grassy meadows, as well as lobsters, turtles, and tropical fish. For an even better view, you may wish to try diving.

● Loggerhead Centre

The loggerhead sea turtle, the most common nesting turtle on the Florida coast, is the namesake of this non prof center in the West Palm Beach area.

28、A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity(亲密) to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

A good book is often the best urn(瓮)of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.

Books possess an essence ofimmortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift(筛) out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed(加以防腐处理) in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens.

【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “immortality”?

A. difficult to find   B. last for a long time

C. very important   D. hard to destroy

【2】How do we get close to the greatest minds through reading?

A. by talking to them about what we thought

B. by experiencing what they have gone through in life

C. by sharing their feeling and reading their minds

D. by acting with them on the stage

【3】What is the best title of this text?

A. Companionship of books

B. Life without books

C. Unforgettable books

D. Sorting out books

【4】This passage is mainly developed by __________.

A. analyzing causes

B. making comparisons

C. examining differences

D. following the order of importance

29、People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs. The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment (承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.

Everyone at a wedding hopes for great happiness between the wedding couple. Wedding traditions are usually a way of showing signs of the hope for great happiness. Some of these traditions are very interesting.

In Sweden, the traditional bride will wear three rings by the end of the wedding ceremony. The first is the engagement (订婚) ring that she entered the ceremony with. The second, the wedding ring, is added to the first. A final ring, however, is added as well. This ring is known as the “motherhood” ring. This is said to show that marriage is about more than just love. It is about building a family.

Wedding traditions in the Philippines, a dance which can last for hours. During the Philippines, guests pin (用大头针别住) money to the bride’s dress to pay for their honeymoon.

A traditional Irish bride may wear a blue wedding dress — believing blue to be a lucky color. English Lavender (薰衣草) is often mixed with her wedding flowers. It is traditional for the bride to braid her hair (梳头发) — as it is considered a good way to bring luck to the new couple.

The Floating School

Life on the islands can feel a bit isolated due to a lack of electricity and internet connectivity.

Although some of the islands have primary schools, most young people must travel to the larger islands or to the mainland to attend high school. Schools on the islands follow the 【1】 curriculum (课程). They don't teach subjects such as maritime skills, swimming or local fishing traditions, and so the curriculum isn't always 【2】 with students' everyday life.

So, we 【3】 the Floating School after winning funding through a US State Department grant competition called Seeds for the Future. Before we started the school, we spoke with young people, community leaders and teachers on the islands to find out the topics young people are most interested in. We also learned about the various 【4】 of students and young people who don't go to school. Thus, we 【5】 our own non-formal educational programme that fits with the context of life on the islands.

Our teachers are local young 【8】— so far we have had journalists, photographers, computer engineers and musicians — and students who want to 【9】 their skills.

At first, many of the young people thought the Floating School would be the same as their schools on the islands. They had thought of the teachers to be 【10】. But our students learn through art, media and literature. They don't have to wear uniforms or shoes, and the teachers treat the students as equals, without judging them. This means our students can be themselves.
