You are just so much (30) her. You helped
18、 those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.”(31) (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold ne

25、you need. Aaccess Balternatives Cassigned Dconfirmed Econflicting Felements Gfunction Hinnovative Iprospective Jseparate KsupportingConsidering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporations image. They
26、 motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or 41 , customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have com
27、e up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past, The design industry has moved away from a fixed offices setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments”. These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies(等级制度)have flat
28、tened, or decreased, office designers response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and crate fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often are
29、 not 45 to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowering the walls that 46 w
30、orkstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees 47 to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often 48 demands, including budgetary limits, emplo
31、yee hierarchies, and technological innovation(especially in relation to computerization).These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors(内饰)that in some way enhance, establish, or promote a companys image and will enable employees to 49 at their best.All these 50 of office desi
32、gn are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage-the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
33、 C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people runnin
34、g after them. Life for ancient peoples earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to peoples lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. A
35、n endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 53 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scien
36、tists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them ta
37、lk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each others individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seeme

Many animals give off pheromonesnatural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same specie
39、s. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like ph
40、eromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013
41、 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 wor

I discovered even more about one of humanitys earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, bui
47、lt with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-ol
48、d Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansions courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death.
