Text 1 When I started my careef I was astonished by how superhuman some Fortune 500 executives were.It seemed they were magicians.Every decision they made based on deep market knowledge and up-to-date information.How did they do it?Thcy have marketing teams that can pull research together in hours.They have chiefs of staff who give them carefully crafied agendas for every day.These teams give Fortune 500 executives what appears to bc super-human knowledge.Foriunately for those of us who don't have Fortune 500 budgets at our disposal,it's getting easier and casier to build your own secret support staff.Within five years,most executives at any size company-and,indeed,most knowledge workers-will have tools that do much of the work of a CEO's private group.That is,"Cyborg systems,"or what I called"agents".It will make this possible,using a blend of learning algorithms and distributed labor to perform an ever-widening range of tasks at low cost.With help from these agents,we'II be able to look as smari as those CEOs do today.I got one taste of this when I started using Wonder.Wonder is like having a personal researcher,deploying a small army of experts,including trained librarians,to do small,defined research projects for me.I ask Wonder for help.For$30 to$60,Wonder saves me hours every week.More and more products and services will fuse machine intelligence with crowd work to help users get things done.To be clear,CEO support teams aren't going away.Top executives will continue to see benefits from dedicated,trusted support staff who can handle difficult,urgent,delicate work.But machine intelligence systems can take on elements of what these people do at a much lower cost,democratizing many of these capabilities.Granted,there is going to be a lot of garbage before we realize the full promise of these virtual support armies.Many ofthem fail to live up to even basic promises,like this weather bot that has trouble telling you about the weather.But if you can filter through the many new offerings to fmd valuable tools,your work will improve and you may even start to look like those CEOs with the seemingly.
The text mainly discusses_____

A.the importance ofteam work
B.the trustworthy support team
C.the application of machine intelligence
D.working like CEOs

When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren’t very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me or drove me home from school.

Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought about difficult questions. Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real key to education.

One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. The eraser hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get to know me. So that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target(靶子), and how I became just another kid in school.

第8题:

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. For hours I would dance as if people were watching me. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, I don’ know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don’t have the talent to even be a ballerina. I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there.

My parents were never home anyway and I did not like to be at home.When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but ended up living in a country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer.

As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that

I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, You can’t do it.When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming,I realized that you can’t settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and wiser, I look at how God sees me.

(1)The article intends to ___________.

A、show that dancing is suitable for the girl

B、show how the girl failed in achieving her dream

C、tell us we should not be disturbed by others

D、tell us we should care and fulfill our dream

(2)The tone of the article is ___________.

A、encouraging

B、sad

C、hopeful

D、disappointing

(3)The voice mentioned indicates the girl is __________.

A、physically unattractive

B、unfortunate

C、poor

D、smart

(4)Why did the mother yell and criticize?

A、Because she was not perfect.

B、Because she didn't reach her dream.

C、Because she lived in the countryside.

D、Because she believed her dream had come true.

(5)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A、The dream is a reflection of our inner desire.

B、The writer is satisfied with dancing in the wildflowers.

C、The writer never cared for her dream.

D、The writer dreamed to be a ballerina.

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

56. How did the author get to know America?

A.Fromherrelatives.B.Fromhermother.

C.Frombooksandpictures.D.Fromradioprograms.
