It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy—it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous. Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives. It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind-- remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay. Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation comedy that is both hugely entertaining television and nothing short of a genuine latter-day social phenomenon. 28. What is stressed in the second paragraph? A. The origin of Friends. B. The role models of Friends. C. The popularity of Friends. D. The brilliance of Friends. 29. Which of the following is TRUE about Friends? A. It has a simple but entertaining plot. B. It is about friendship between college students. C. It was criticized by Entertainment Weekly. D. It first came into being in the 1990s. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Producer, Kevin S. Bright, graduated from the same college as David Crane. B. ABC once replaced the theme song of its TV show with a short music intro. C. The ABC executive thought highly of the theme song of Friends. D. Marta Kauffman expected Friends to achieve great success. 31. What might the author think of Friends? A. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings. B. Its success lies in the lack of good situation comedies. C. He/she has a reserved attitude towards its success. D. He/she shows great affection towards it. |

As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees – which for decades has been a part of many business’ benefits packages – as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive – although gradual – movement. “For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. “For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .” In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance. Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful. And they’re asking for it. Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the company’s College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies’ retention and turnover rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. We’re going to see a lot more of this in the future. 32. Using tuition assistance for employees ________. A. has attracted a large number of talents B. is a trend that formed recently C. has existed for scores of years D. is well received by employees 33. What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said? A. It is merely beneficial to employees B. It is a win-win event for employees and employers. C. Valuing education has become a trend for all companies. D. It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees. 34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Regular pay raises. B. More chances to be successful. C. Educational support. D. Professional–development potential. 35. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs? A. The programs can guarantee the employees a good job. B. The impact of the programs remains to be estimated. C. Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies. D. It’s less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs. |

While going through life with the pursuit of money on our mind, we're often told that money can't buy happiness. But what truth is there in the saying? Is there a relation between money and happiness? 36 Humans are very sensitive to change. When we get a rise, we really enjoy it. But some studies have shown that in North America, additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day happiness. 37 They often end up spending all the money, going into debt, and experience ruined social relationships. So surely money can't really buy happiness. Well, recent studies suggest that the problem may actually be in the way that we spend money. 38 Studies show that people who spend their money on others feel happier. As for the people who spend money on themselves, their happiness is unchanged. 39 0ne experiment showed that instead of an organization writing a large check to a charity, dividing the amount up among employees, allowing them to contribute to a charity of their choice, increased their job satisfaction. Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team performance. 40 Interestingly, the specific way money is spent on others isn't important. Spending something on others is the important aspect of increasing your happiness. A. The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well. B. Money has more effect on the vast majority of people in the long run. C. Instead of buying things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel. D. And if so, how can we use it to our advantage? E. Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is positively related to happiness, F. And while you're saving up for these greatest experiences, don't forget the daily joys in life. G. In fact, people who win a lottery often report becoming extremely unhappy. |

Sometimes the targets we set 61 (us) are just too high. We think that we will be better people in the future. Just as we are 62 (easy) taken over by the planning fallacy(谬见)，believing that we can complete a large project for work in an afternoon, we think in the future we will be better-organised and more self-disciplined. One of the most 63 (fame) examples of the planning fallacy is 64 of the Oxford English Dictionary. In 1860 plans were in place to complete it within three years. In 1879 there was a new deal to publish in within a decade, but after five years they had only got so far 65 the word "ant". It Was finally completed in 1928. by 66 time it was considered out of date and revisions began at once. The same thing happens when it comes to 67 ( try) to change our lifestyles. We read about a new idea and that optimism fires up all over again. At the University of Toronto Janet Polivy has been studying what she calls. " false hope syndrome". She found that People set themselves unrealistic targets which they undoubtedly failed to reach, leaving them feeling even 68 (bad) about themselves. Some of the students she studied had tried and failed for 10 years to make the same 69 (change) in their lives, but each year they 70 (convince) that this time it would work. |
