into my car,I spotted the samelady(28)_(look)in at me.Hello,she said,hesitantly.This(29)_sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mothers things off at the charitybins.”You are just so much(30)_ her.”You helped those people,I noticed,and you seemed so happy.”She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in throughthe window.“I think she would like you to have it.”(31)_(shock),I tookit from her automatically.She smiled and walked away.After a pause,I opened the box.Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with alarge grey pearl.It was(32)_(nice)gift Id ever received,and it was

designed.Well-designed office spaces help create a cooperations image.They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might bepotential or,_41_,customer.They make businesses work better,and they are apart of the corporate culture we live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one,officedesigners have come up with_42_ to the traditional work environments of the past.The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible“strategic management environments.”These _43_ solutions are to meant tosupport betterorganizational performances.As employee hierarchies(等 级制 度)have flattened or decreased,officedesigners response to this change has been to move open-plain areas to moredesirable locations within the office,and create fewer formal private offices.Theneed for increased flexibility has also been _44_ by changes in work station design.Offices and work spaces often are not _45_ to a given person on a permanent basisbecause of changes to method of working,new designs allow for expansion ormovementof desks,storage,and equipment within the workstation.Another important designgoal is communication,which designers have improved by lowering the walls that_46_workstations.Designers have also created informal gathering places,andupgraded employees _47_to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffeerooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve anumber of competing and often _48_ demands,including budgetary limits,employeehierarchies,andtechnologicalinnovation(especiallyinrelationtocomputerization).These demands must also be balanced with the need to createinteriors(内饰)that in some way enhance,establish,or promote a companys imageand will enable employees to _49_at their best.All these _50_ of office design are related.The most successful office designsare like a good marriage-the well-designed office and the employees that occupyit are seemingly made for each other.III.III.ReadingReading ComprehensionComprehensionSectionSection A ADirections:Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrasesmarked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you triedto determine their meaning,you would not detect interest in romance among theartists._51_,you would see plenty of animals with people running after them.Life for ancient peoples earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods formeals.In modern times,when food is available in grocery stores,finding love ismore_52_in peoples lives.The_53_is all around us.It is easy toprepare a list of modern stories having to do with love.An endless number of booksand movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love,a highly valued emotional state,canbe_54_.They ask,what is love?Toothpaste companies want us to think attractionis all about clean teeth,but clean teeth go only so far.Scientists wonder how muchthe brain gets involved.You have

attraction,researchers paired 164 collegeclassmates and had them talk for 3,6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense ofeach others individuality.Then students were asked to_57_what kind ofrelationship they were likely to build with their partners.After nine weeks,theyreported what happened.As it turned out,their_58_judgments often held true.Students seemedto_59_at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.TheThe_60_KnowsKnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction.Many animals give off pheromones natural chemicals that can be detected by,andthen can produce a response in,other animals of the same species.Pheromones cansignal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling_61_to partnerships.In contrast,humans do not seem to be as_62_as other animals at detecting suchchemicals.Smell,however,does seem to play a part in human attraction.Althoughwe may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously,we give and receiveloads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.FaceFace ValueValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors,including seeingsomething we find

the same faces.The way we_64_attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations,people responded to_65_ words faster after viewing an attractive face.Seeingsomething attractive seems to cause happy

thought.At a time of limited means of expression,snow was like free art suppliesdropped from the sky.It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk throughtown to view the temporary works of chilly art.Some were created by famous artists,including a 19-year-old Michelangelo,who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler ofFlorence,Italy,to build a snowman in his mansions courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter ofDeath.The city of Brussels was covered in snowmenan impressive scene that toldstories on every street corner.Some were political in

time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed,dont worry:Ive learnedthat some explosive snowman history is still being made today.Every year since 1818,the people of Zurich,Switzerland,celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing upa snowman.On the third Monday of April,the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off whena cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with exp
