21、Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of great discomfort that may well require treatment to eliminate. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she comes in contact.
Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very high standards for their employees and set strict guidelines for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is regarding what you wear, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior vice president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary or sales assistant. Like it or not, you will be judged by your personal appearance.
This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your wardrobe choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear of business-professional attire days.
Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When in doubt, always misjudge on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to dress properly in a business setting.
B. A president of a company should dress differently from a secretary or sales assistant.
C. The differences between professional and casual dress.
D. Improper dress will make a person feel uncomfortable.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A. Every company has strict rules regarding office dress.
B. You can wear whatever you like if your company doesn’t have standards for dressing.
C. You should dress according to the business setting even when there are no fixed rules.
D. In companies with relaxed rules on office dress, you can’t spot a manager among others.
【3】Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?
A. We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes on dress-down days.
B. People’s clothes on dress-down days don’t receive much attention.
C. On dress-down days, you can wear whatever you like.
D. People are usually more careful about what they wear on dress-down days than on other occasions.
【4】Which of the following is NOT the rule in the passage with regard to business dress?
A. For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
B. Remember to ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.
C. Think about how other guests will wear if you are invited to a dinner.
D. Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for a certain occasion.
22、As an old saying in China goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.

Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.

23、Mount Lushan, bordered on the north by the Yangtze River and on the south by Poyang Lake, presents the whole scene of the river, hills and lake. The beauty of Mount Lushan has attracted spiritual leaders, scholars, artists and writers for over 2,000 years.
Mount Lushan is one of the spiritual centers of Chinese history. Buddhist and Taoist temples fit effortlessly into an amazingly beautiful landscape. More than 200 historic buildings are located in Lushan National Park. Temples have been built and extended many times to create an ongoing centre for religion and study.
Huiyuan, who created Pure Land Buddhism at Lushan's Donglin Temple, began a period of the localization of Buddhism in China. Zhu Xi put new strength into the White Deer Cave Academy in Lushan. He made it the model for the popularization of Confucian idealist philosophy (儒家理想主义哲学)and the model of academy-based education in the Song and Ming Dynasties. His influence continued in over 700 years of Chinese history after the Song Dynasty. The Confucian idealist philosophy explained by Zhu Xi, and his educational pattern, spread as far as Japan, Korea, Indonesia and else-where, and have played a very important role in the global history of education.
Lushan National Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It preserves the unique elements(元素) and characteristics of Mount Lushan’s creation, development and tradition. The elements include cultural, historical and natural ones such as ancient sites, stone paintings and poems dating to different historic periods. Temporary or partial damage to the ecological environment can be quickly and effectively repaired. Thus, Mount Lushan permanently preserves the value of this “famous cultural mountain”.
The Lushan Scenic and Historic Interest Administrative Bureau (LSHIAB) focused on the sustainable(可持续的) development of the heritage (遗产), and increased the protection and management of the scenic area. Both mid-term and long-term plans for protecting the heritage scientifically have been made. Additional efforts to research the proper use of the heritage have been made. Environmental management and development projects are being tightly controlled. The right balance between heritage protection and tourism development has been kept, making it possible for the sustainable development of the heritage.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My baby Reese started screaming and I struggled to hold him in my arms as we pushed our way through the crowd to the side of the taekwondo (跆拳道) studio, where I would send my boy for the training.
I looked up, and that is when I saw the photo on a poster, a woman with a bright white smile surrounded by her daughters. “OUR MOM NEEDS A KIDNEY (肾脏),” it said above the photo. “My name is Vonchelle Knight, and I have polycystic kidney disease,” it said below. “I am a single mother of two girls and have been on the transplant waitlist for eight years.”
As I continued to read, I thought about how desperately this momma needed a kidney. And then the idea struck me. I wanted to donate my kidney to the woman whom I had never met.
On the drive home, I told my husband I wanted to donate my kidney to a stranger. By the look on his face, he clearly thought I had lost my mind. I was a busy mom of two boys working a full-time job as a sales account manager. I had a calendar filled with sporting events, group fitness and volunteer church hours.
“Where is this coming from?” he asked. I was excited and slightly terrified as I explained the poster. I told him I wanted to at least call Vonchelle’s nurse and get more information.
Several weeks later, the results were in. We were a perfect match! The nervous excitement filled my body. Thoughts swirled in my head as I realized I had the ability to give this momma a new lease on life. Vonchelle had already waited eight years and obviously didn’t have any family members who could donate.
I told my husband that the doctor could do the transplant on January twenty-fifth. His eyes filled with tears as he stared at me and nodded. Vonchelle’s daughter worked at my son’s taekwondo studio, so I shared the news with her.
One day before the donation, the doctors scheduled me to meet Vonchelle.
注意:

As she walked through the door of the meeting room, I walked up to her, my heart beating wildly.
