Although women lead healthier, longer lives, the cruel opinion that they become "old” sooner than men is widespread in the workplace, research shows.

A survey of more than 2,600 managers and personnel professionals showed that age discrimination is not only common in the workplace, but is shot through with inconsistencies (矛盾).

Six in ten managers reported being a victim of age discrimination -- usually because they were turned down for a job for being too old or too young. Yet more than a fifth admitted that they used age as an important standard.

Although the survey found widespread agreement that older workers were better than younger colleagues when it came to reliability, commitment (承担义务), loyalty (忠诚) and customer service, these qualities were not necessarily considered to be worthy of advancement.

A large number of persons believed that workers between 30 and 39 had the best promotion chances, with only 2 per cent giving examples of 50-year-olds or above.

There was evidence that people were considered old at different ages in different jobs. A young man working in IT said he was considered too old by the age of 28.

In fact there was no evidence to suggest that older workers were less valuable to companies than younger workers, in fact the opposite was often true because older workers often brought experience.

The findings also suggested that the Government's ideas on age in the workforce may also be out of step with reality.

63.Which is the discrimination mentioned in this passage?

A. The healthier women are, the sooner they will lose their jobs.

B. Society knows women should be respected, but it doesn't offer them any jobs.

C. Female managers respect male workers, but male managers don't respect female workers.

D. victims of age discrimination consider age as an important standard.

64.Older workers are better than younger colleagues because they have many advantages except that they are _____.

A. dependable             B. married       C. faithful     D. helpful

65.Why does the writer mention a young man working in IT?

A. Because the writer thinks it a pity that this young man is old.

B. Because it's an example of different age standards in different jobs.

C. Because IT industry is developing too fast.

D. Because the writer doesn't think the young man is old.

66. Which statement is true according to the writer's attitude?

A. The present age standard doesn't go with reality.

B. The present age standard is reasonable.

C. women should work longer than men.

D. Young workers should learn from old workers.

I look back sometimes at the person I was before I rediscovered my old professor. I want to talk to that person. I want to tell him what to look out for, what mistakes to avoid. I want to tell him to be more open, to ignore the temptation of advertised values, to pay attention when your loved ones are speaking, as if it were the last time you might hear them.

Mostly I want to tell that person to get on an airplane and visit a gentle old man in West Newton, Massachusetts, sooner rather than later, before that old man gets sick and loses his ability to dance.

I know I cannot do this. None of us can undo what we’ve done, or relive a life already recorded. But if Professor Morrie Schwartz taught me anything at all, it was this: there is no such thing as “too late” in life. He was changing until the day he said good-bye.

Not long after Morrie’s death, I reached my brother in Spain. We had a long talk. I told him I respected his distance, and that all I wanted was to be in touch—in the present, not just the past—to hold him in my life as much as he could let me.

“You’re my only brother,” I said. “I don’t want to lose you. I love you.”

I had never said such a thing to him before.

A few days later, I received a message on my fax machine. It was typed in the sprawling, poorly punctuated, all-cap-letters fashion that always characterized my brother’s words.

“HI I’VE JOINED THE NINETIES!” it began. He wrote a few little stories, what he’d been doing that week, a couple of jokes. At the end, he signed off this way:

I HAVE HEARTBURN AND DIAHREA(腹泻) AT THE MOMENT—LIFE’S A BITCH. CHAT LATER?

[signed] SORE TUSH.

I laughed until there were tears in my eyes.

This book was largely Morrie’s idea. He called it our “final thesis.” Like the best of work projects, it brought us closer together, and Morrie was delighted when several publishers expressed interest, even though he died before meeting any of them. The advance money helped pay Morrie’s enormous medical bills, and for that we were both grateful.

The title, by the way, we came up with one day in Morrie’s office. He liked naming things. He had several ideas. But when I said, “How about Tuesdays with Morrie?” he smiled in an almost blushing way, and I knew that was it.

After Morrie died, I went through boxes of old college material. And I discovered a final paper I had written for one of his classes. It was twenty years old now. On the front page were my penciled comments scribbled to Morrie, and beneath them were his comments scribbled back.

Mine began, “Dear Coach . . .”

His began, “Dear Player . . .”

For some reason, each time I read that, I miss him more.

Have you ever really had a teacher? One who saw you as a raw but precious thing, a jewel that, with wisdom, could be polished to a proud shine? If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back. Sometimes it is only in your head. Sometimes it is right alongside their beds.

The last class of my old professor’s life took place once a week, in his home, by a window in his study where he could watch a small hibiscus(木槿) plant shed its pink flowers. The class met on Tuesdays. No books were required. The subject was the meaning of life. It was taught from experience.

The teaching goes on.

1.What kind of a person was the author before he rediscovered Professor Morrie Schwartz?

A. He was very open to life’s challenges.

B. He cared much about the people he loved.

C. He was probably lost in the material world.

D. He kept close contact with his teacher.

2.What did the author learn from Professor Morrie?

A. Pain past is pleasure.

B. Life is a difficult journey.

C. It’s never too late to mend.

D. Tomorrow is another day.

3.According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude toward life now?

A. He is very content with his life.

B. He is willing to make changes in his life.

C. He has always been hopeful about the future.

D. He prefers to live in the past.

4.The underlined sentence in the passage implies that ________.

A. he was so glad to reconnect with his brother

B. his brother’s style of writing was really funny

C. his brother was good at telling jokes

D. it was surprising to receive the message

5.According to the author, which of the following is the criterion of a good teacher?

A. Being skillful in what he/she teaches.

B. Being able to understand what you need.

C. Being willing to teach you all he/she knows.

D. Being good at changing you for the better.

6.Where in the entire book would this passage be best placed?

A. In the acknowledgments of the book Tuesday with Morrie.

B. In the first chapter of the book Tuesday with Morrie.

C. At the turning point of the book Tuesday with Morrie.

D. At the conclusion of the book Tuesday with Morrie.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

As a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education. We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past.

There are, of course, problems with the education system. Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. However, the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true.

One stock (陈腐的) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests. While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering here. The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America. The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that America’s decline is also due to the improvement of others. The third is the matter of the measures— do they, in fact, present an accurate picture of the situation? I am not claiming that the data is bad. I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time.

Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests. While there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education. That is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned.

1.According to the professor, many people’s attitude towards American colleges is 　　　　　　 .

A. negative　              B. positive    　　         C. approving　　　　　     D. indifferent

2.What does the underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Exact or precise.　　　                     B. Extremely serious or terrible.　

C. Fair or objective.                        D. Long and boring.

3.Judging by the text ,the claims are centered on 　　　　　　 .

A. what should be taught in the American classroom

B. fair judgment of American education

C. American students’ performance on tests

D. an accurate picture of American colleges

4.The passage is written mainly to 　　　　　　 .

A. defend American education

B. show dissatisfaction with American education

C. explain why American students do badly on tests

D. offer advice on American education reform
