19、ore creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owners. But eventually at the end of the first week
20、she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

25、an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you. In fact, hes one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历 ) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. W
26、ith great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. Im sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工),
27、and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility youve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out? He talked to me because he wants his edi
28、tors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for convers
29、ations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones.

33、iate their reporters working styles and attitudesC Pacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to
34、talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was happening w
35、ith Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the
36、talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel. The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about p
37、ersonality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from 2010 北京高考真题7 / 12the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in p
38、ersonnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in-and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she
39、was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.Thats why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems-even in the mind of the wo
40、man herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her? A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.65. According to the passag
41、e, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.66. We can learn from the passage that _A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. ones in
42、ability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up ones confidence67.

43、t D. being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyDThe Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn 2010 北京高考真题8 / 12more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever mo
44、re dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
45、 Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries,
46、 Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that me
47、ans taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should rec
