Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee.

You can find a great deal of very

dubious

advice on how to get a job or how to

get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field,

whether it be the mechanist' s trade or bookkeeping (

簿记

). Every one of these

trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different

preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly,

especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more

important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly

more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an

employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their

trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or

executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the

organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.

hassles

over bathrooms, telephones and privacy (

不受干扰的生活

). Some families,

however, manage the delicate

balancing

act. But for others, it proves too

The

concept

of

personal

choice

in

relation

to

health

behaviors

is

an

important

one.

An

estimated

90

percent

of

all

illness

may

be

preventable

if

individuals

would

make

sound

personal

health

choices

based

upon

current

medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it

restricted

when

it

is

within

the

legal

and

moral

boundaries

of

society.

The

structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal

decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink

excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever food we want, and

live a

completely sedentary life- style

without any exercise

. The freedom

（这是对上

面小并列的一个总括，不能只说其中之一就是他。如张、王、李、赵四个人的共

同特征）

to

make

such

personal

decisions

is

a

fundamental

aspect

of

our

society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal

choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager

may

know

the

facts

relative

to

smoking

cigarettes

and

health

but

may

be

pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.

［００５］

If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch,

and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth,

adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form

a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain

dormant

for another years, or even

longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years,

sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case,

the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus,

on such occasions, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures

its survival.

24. The word

(A)

inactive

(B) strong

(C) alert

(D)

soft

［００６］

To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often

more than ever produced before, is

disconcerting

. To others, the very idea of

having to work independently is threatening.

But

there is no need to approach

the

research

paper

assignment

with

anxiety,

and

nobody

should

view

the

research

paper

as

an

obstacle

to

overcome.

Instead,

consider

it

a

goal

to

accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.

33. From the context, the word

means _____.

(A) misleading

(B) embarrassing

(C) stimulating a goal wit

(D)

upsetting

注：焦虑

paradox

that we think of the physical sciences as

social sciences as

between, This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical systems is

more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are

more certain than our knowledge of social system. (In terms of our capacity to
