Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of

modem life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation age. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.

Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life4o joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cart？

Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, good- oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.

In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, convenience, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modem, industrial France is preferable to the old.

Which of the following is NOT given as a feature of the old French way of life？

A．Leisure.

B．Elegance.

C．Efficiency.

D．Taste.

根据下列材料，请回答下列各题 Banking is about money; and no other familiar services or com
modities arouse such excesses of passion anddislike. Nor is there any other about which more nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is notwhat normally called economics, which is inexact rather than nonsensical, and only in the same way as all scientists are at the point where they try to predict peoples behavior. and its consequences. Indeed most socialsciences and, for example, medicine could probably be described in the same way. However, it is common to hear assertions of the kind "if you were marooned (孤立无援的． on a desertisland a few seed potatoes would be more useful to you than a million pounds" as though this proved somethingimportant about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be much used to anyone in a situation wherevery few of us are at all likely to find ourselves. Money in fact is a token, or symbolic object, exchangeable ondemand by its holders for goods and services. Its use for this purpose is universal except with in a small number ofprimitive agricultural communities. Money and the price mechanism, i.e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods andservices, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand and supply for these things, Especiallyimportant are the relative changes in price of different goods and services compared with each other. To takerandom examples: the price of house building has over the past five years risen a good deal faster than that ofdomestic appliances like refrigerators, but slower than that of motor insurance or French Impressionist paintings.This fact has complex implications for students of the brick industry, trade unionism, town planning, insurancecompanies, fine art auctions, and politics. Unpacking these implications is what economics is about, but theirimplications for bankers are quite different. In general, in modern industrialized societies, prices of services or goods produced in a context requiring ahigh service-content (e.g., a meal in a restaurant． are likely to rise in price more rapidly than goods capable ofmass-production on a large scale. It is also a characteristic of highly developed economies that the number ofworkers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall. Thediscomfort this truth causes the big general trade unions as they contrast their own situation with that of the rapidlygrowing white-collar unions has been an important source of tension in western political life for many years and islikely to remain so for many more. According to the author, banking __________

A.is another form. of commodities

B.arouses peoples passionate concern

C.is the same thing,as economy

D.has the same description as medicine

听力原文： Albert Schweitzer was born in 1875 in Alsace. At that time, it was a part of Ger
many. [32] His generous spirit was first awakened through his training as a preacher. Besides gaining a reputation as preacher, [33] he also became respected for his ability to play the organ. [35] He was a man of many talents. His concern for other people turned his attention to medicine. He had also acquired doctoral degrees in philosophy and music. His wife took an interest in medicine also and became a nurse. Many people thought that he should remain and lecture in Europe to have a strong impact on Western civilization. Though he listened to their suggestions, he ultimately decided to follow his own conscience. This led him to Africa. [34] Albert had felt that all men should accept the responsibility of helping others. He felt particularly concerned for black Africans who had been exploited by white men. He earned the money he needed by performing on the organ and by lecturing. With this money he bought equipment and opened a hospital in Africa. He was a man of great strength who faced great problems with courage. The threat of war, the reality of imprisonment during World War One as a German citizen and the unbearable heat in Africa did not make him retreat at all. [35] He believed that a man could overcome these obstacles if he had a sense of idealism. He died in 1965.

(33)

A．Through his hard work at training.

B．Through his training as a preacher.

C．Through his reputation as preacher.

D．Through his attention to medicine.

听力原文： Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing wh
at lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school graduates face so much competition that they seldom care what they de so long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it, others move from one job to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for Jobs that offer a salary up to their expectations. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what the salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependents with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interests.

In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interests, Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also waste your talents and ultimately, make you an emotional wreck and a bitter person.

(30)

A．Because they want to earn high salary.

B．Because schools do not teach students how to choose jobs.

C．Because there has been severe competition in the job market.

D．Because they have no working experience.

听力原文： A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure. [29] As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.

The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.

But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. [30] They say that shorter hours are a disguised pay cut. [31] The industrialists, who have no objection to the government's plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese, who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in caf6s, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.

(30)

A．The government wants to show more concern for the health of the people.

B．The government needs to import more goods from abroad.

C．The Japanese have been working too hard.

D．The Japanese hope to change the western prejudice.

There came a guest who had booked a standard room. But after checking, I found that there
was no standard left. I checked the record of this guest, and found that he had always booked deluxe rooms.

I felt that it was perfect chance to up-sell. I checked the booked room with the guest, “Thank you very much for your reliance on our hotel, Mr. Gao. It’s my pleasure to serve you. This time, you have ordered a standard large-bed non-smoking for three nights, right？” “Yes.”

”I suggest you are on a business, right？ I’d like to suggest you try our executive floor. It’s newly decorated, and you will enjoy the top-level service. And there are many preferential treatments.”

“Really？ Then what preferential treatments can I have if I take that？”

“Mr. Gao, you need to use the internet to deal with you business, right？ The Internet service is not free, but you may have one-hour free Internet use each day if you take the ECF. In addition, 80 yuan’s free laundry service, 6 tins of free soft drinks, and so on. And for all of these, you will only need to pay another 20 yuan.”

Here I stopped to observe the reaction of the guest. He kept silence for a while, looking hesitated. Then I said. “Maybe your concern is not how much you will pay, but rather whether the room is worth the price. Would you like to make your decision after having a look at the show room？”

The guest felt very hard to turn down my warm-hearted offer, so he decided to take an executive room for three nights.
