Jessie's Glove

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. ________21    the topics we discuss is the retention （保持）of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale （薪水标准）in the service industry. During these discussions, I asked the participants, "What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" Some time back a new   22________ took the question and     23      said, "It was a $19 baseball glove."

Cynthia told the group that she    24    took a Circle K clerk job as an interim （过渡时期）position   25      she looked for something   26     .On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that    27     a single mother, money was very    28    , and her first check would    29    go for paying   30    . Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check..

When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that    31    as an office. Cynthia    32    if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused．

Patricia handed her a box. "I overheard you talking to your son   33    ," she said, "and I know that it is hard to   34     things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how    35    he is, even though you have to pay bills    36    you can buy gloves. You know we can't pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we    37   care, and I want you to know you are important to    38  ."

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance , such as oil tankers into the sea．

The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot restore the balance.

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused． This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying ,excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.

45．The underlined phrase “disposed of ”in the second paragraph means_______.

A． dealt with               B． exposed

C． disapproved of           D． collected

46． In the writer’s view ,the more new goods, _______.

A． the less pollution

B． the harder pollution can be prevented

C． the more pollution there will be

D． the more easily pollution can be controlled

47．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A． We can do much to reduce pollution.

B． The government is trying hard to stop pollution.

C． Individuals know how to get rid of the habit of littering everywhere.

D． We can’t stop buying unnecessary things.

48． People can help solve the problem of pollution by _______.

A． urging their governments to control litter and waste

B． making anti-pollution advertisements

C． cutting down the use of oil and other oil products

D． reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes

People often ask me how, as a man, I became so devoted to improving the quality of women’s lives.  It wasn’t until age forty that I realized what had started me down my career path.

One morning more than thirty-seven years ago, I was awakened by the passing school bus.  I was thirteen years old, living at home with my two younger brothers and our mother, Doris Joy Heavin.  She had just passed her fortieth birthday.  She was a mother of five children and had suffered emotional and physical problems most of her life.  Her doctor had tried various treatments on her with little benefit.

As I awoke to the sound of the passing school bus, my brother Paul came in and told me that I’d better come quickly because mother was sick.  As I knelt beside her bed, I could feel the absence of warmth.  I put my arms around her, first to feel for a sign of life, and then as a final hug.  I took my younger brothers, aged eight and nine, in my arms and gently told them that our mother was in heaven.

Her death was unnecessary.  The high blood pressure causing the blood clot(血栓) that took her life was unnecessary.  Rather than medicate the symptoms, she could have dealt with the cause of her high blood pressure: we now know that exercise and proper nutrition will almost always reduce the causes of high blood pressure and most other chronic(慢性的) diseases.

Many years later, while teaching a fitness and weight loss class to a group of about eighty women, I realized I was subconsciously(下意识地) searching the crowd for the face of my mother.

57．The underlined part “medicate the symptoms” in Paragraph 4 probably means _______ .

A．provide proper nutrition

B．take exercise regularly

C．give up the treatment

D．treat the disease using medicine

58．What made the author devoted to improving the quality of women’s lives.

A．His mother’s illness and death.

B．The early loss of both his parents.

C．His support to the rights of women.

D．His knowledge of high blood pressure.

59．From the passage we learn that ________ .

A．the author was the oldest child in his family

B．the author’s father died long before his mother

C．high blood pressure is a kind of chronic disease

D．many women were found with blood clot at the time

60．Why did the author think his mother’s death was unnecessary?

A．Because her blood clot wasn’t a deadly disease at the time.

B．Because his mother wouldn’t have died if she had a job．

C．Because her high blood pressure could have been prevented．

D．Because his mother was not treated in the local hospital.
