Our age,what we might call the age of economics,is strongly influenced by two types of relationships that reflect the life we are encouraged to lead.There are consumer relationships,those that we.participate in for the pleasure they bring us.They are focused on the present.It is what brings immediate pleasure that matters.And. there are entrepreneurial relationships,those that we invest in,hoping they will bring us some return. Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship:those of pleasure,those of usefulness,and true friendships.In Pleasure Friendships,he said,It is not fortheir character that men love ready witted people,but because they find them pleasant."About the usefulnessi friendships,he said,"Those.who love each other for their utility()do not love each other for themselves,but because of some good which they get from each other." Although we benefit from our close friendships,these friendships are:not a.matter of oalculable gain or loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time.They surround us for a short period and then they fade;like a drug.Entrepreneur friendships,when successful,lead to the:victory ofpersonal gain. It is precisely the non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is offered only the choices of ownership,shopping,competition and growth.Itisthreatened when we are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are:in the economic sense,irrational)Friendships are not without reason,perhaps,but they are:certainly without that particular reason.Shared-experience,not just everyday T 6 amusement or advancement,is the true basis of friendships. 56.The author mentions his operation in the first paragraph to A.recall one of his best friends B.introduce the topic of true friendship C.advise people to visit sick friends D.talk about the experience of surgery 57.Consumer relationships center on A.the sharing ofjoy and sorrow B..mutual support in times of trouble C.personal gain or personal loss D.immediate pleasure 58.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument by A explaining three.types of friendships B.discussing questions C.analyzing causes and effects D:s providing examples and facts 59.The author seems to support the idea that A.friendships are a matter of calculable gain.or:loss..B...there are no.specific reasons for friendships C.short-term pleasure is the center of friendships D.everyday amusement is the true basis of friendships 60.The best title for the text would.be A.Friendships in Modern Times. B.Friendships in Economic Reeession C.Friendships in the Age:of Economics D.Friendships in:a Fast Paced Life c When we think of leadership,we often think of strength and power.But what are these really,and how do they operate? Leadership today is.niot about forcing others todo things.If this is even possible,it is short-term,and tends,to backfire.If you order someone to:do something against their will,they may do-it because they feel they must,but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term.They will also experience fear. Fear eauses the thinking brain to:shut down,making the person unable to function at his or her best.If they associate you with this emotion of fear,they will become less functional around you,and you will have sueceeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot,but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively:Fear has no place in leadership. The way we influence-people in a lasting way is by our own character,and,our understanding and use of emotion.We canorder someone to do something,which may be part of the work days or we can employ them at the emotional level,so they became fully devoted to the projeots and provide some of their own motivation. Today's work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which.theyar recognized and valued as ahuman being as well asawrker Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like.Laders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor in the work life:of most people. 07 The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence-knowing your own emotions,and how to handle them,and those of others.Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you,which is the key to the leadership skills. 61.According to the passage,forcing others to do things might lead to A.short-term cooperation and long-term trust B.immediate efficiency and lasting motivation C.temporary obedience and long-term negative feelings D.rapid task completion and improved relationships 62.An employee may have a feeling of fear in the work place when A.he is forced to do things B.be cannot work at his best C.he feels his brain shut down D.he thinks of his work as too heavy 63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.People tend to associate leadership with fear B.Working conditions affect people's physical health C.Good relationship is the key to business success D.Smart people are more functional in the work place. 64.Topositively influence employees a leader should first of all A.provide better suggestions B.develop his own personality C.give his employees a pay raise D.hide his own emotion of fear 65.Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader's ability to A.provide a variety of project for employees B.help raise employee's living standards C.give employees specific instructions D.deal wisely with employees'emotions ◇ Ten thousand years ago,as the last ice age ended,sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today.Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains.Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released. Now the development of advanced sonar (technology,known as bathymetry,is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail.A special echo sounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed.While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images,bathymetry can now use computers,satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps.For the first time,an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image.The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed. According to expert Linda Andrews,this technological development is of huge significance."We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,"she says. Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, 8 divers can be sent down to investigate further.Robot submarines can also be used,and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity.The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings:Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe.It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board,however. In fact,the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements.It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents.In addition,commercial applications are a real possibility.Aggregates (for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive,and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material.Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living.Digging at such sites should be prevented,either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships 66.How does bathymetry work? A.It makes use of a number of different devices. B.It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor. C.It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed. D.It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites. 67.What does the underlined word "pinpointed"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Occupied.B.Discovered. C.Rebuilt. D.Adjusted. 68.The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may. A.attract investment in the research under the sea B.inspire people to take an interest in modern technology C.receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects D.adapt the attitudes of the British to their country's history 69.We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to A.provide the precise location of sunken ships B.identify new species of plants and animals C.evaluate the cost of seeking certain resources D.promote the development of deeper waterways 70.Based on the passage,which conclusion can be drawn about human habitation in Britain? A.Human activity in Britain began only after it became an island. B.The submerged landscapes were uninhabited due to harsh climatic conditions. C.Britain's history of human habitation is longer and more complex than commonly assumed. D.Advanced sonar technology was developed to study Britain's prehistoric settlements specifically. 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） When Alex was 15,aimbingadents the loss of his right leg.For a lively and athletic this wasadevastating blow.In the months that followed,he fell intodeep depresovn that his dreams and joys had ended.
