I had worried myself sick over
Simon
?
s mother coming to see
me.I was a new
21
, and I gave an
honest
account of the students
?
work. In Simon
?
s case, the
grades were awfully low. He
couldn
?
t read his
own
handwriting.
22
he
was
a
bright
student.
He
discussed
adult
subjects
with
nearly
adult
comprehension. His work in no way
reflected his
23
.
So
when
Simon
?
s
mother
entered
the
room,
my
palms(
手
掌
心<
/p>
)
were
sweating.
I
was
completely
24
for
her
lisses
on
both
my
cheeks.
“
I
came
to
thank
you,
”
she
said,
surprising
me
beyond
speech.
25
me,
Simon
had
become
a
different
person. He
talked
of
how
he
26
me,
he
had began
to make friends, and for the first time in his
twelve years, he had
27
spent an afternoon at a
friend
?
s house.
She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the
28
I had
nurtured(
培养
) in her son.
She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned
(
惊呆
), for about half an
hour,
29
what had just happened. How did I make
such a
life-changing difference to that
boy without
30
knowing it? What I
finally came to
31
was one
day, several months before, when some
students were
32
reports in
the front of the class, Jeanne
spoke
33
, and to encourage her to
raise her voice, L had sai,
“
Speak up.
Simon
?
s the expert on this.
He is the
34
one you have
to convince, and he can
?
t
hear you in the
35
of the
room.
”
That
was
it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter,
paid more attention,
36
more, and became happy.
And
it was all because he
37
to be the last kid in the last row.
The boy who most needed
38
was
the one who took the last seat that
day.
It
taught
me
the
most
39
lesson
over
the
years
of
my
teaching
career,
and
I
?
m
thankful
that
it
came
40
and
positively. A small kindness can indeed make a
difference.

A
Wealth starts with a goal saving a
dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank
strategy(
策略
). There are
lessons in that time-honored coin-
saving container.
Any
huge
task
seems
easier
when
reduced
to
baby
steps.
I
f
you
wished
to
climb
a
12,000-foot
mountain, and
could do it a day at a time, you would only have
to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a
year. If you want to take a really nice
trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to
collect the $$15,000 cost,
you
have
to
save
$$3.93
a
day.
If
you
drop
that
into
a piggy
bank
and
then
once
a
year
put
$$1,434
in
a
savings account at 1%
interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip
money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me
a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted
something, I should
save money to buy
it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in
many countries, the little containers
are also popular with adults. Europeans
see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and
wealth. Around the
world, many believe
a gift of a piggy bank on New
Year
?
s Day brings good luck
and financial success. Ah,
but you have
to put
something
in it.
Why
is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an
elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more
coins? In the Middle Ages, before
modern banking and credit instruments, people
saved money at home, a
few coins at a
time dropped into a jar or dish.
Potters(
制陶工
) made these
inexpensive containers from an
orange-
colored clay(
黏土
) called
“
pygg,
”
and folks saved coins in pygg Middle English word
for pig was
“
pigge
”
. While the
Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as
“
pug
”
,
eventually the two
words changed into
the same pronunciation, sounding the
“
i
”
as
in pig or piggy. As the word became less
associated with the orange clay and
more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a
pygg jar in the shape
of a pig,
delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was
born.
Originally
you
had
to
break
the
bank
to
get
to
the
money,
bringing
in
a
sense
of
seriousness
into
savings. While piggy
banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults
often need to relearn childhood
lessons. Think about the things in life
that require large amounts of money--- college
education, weddings,
cars, medical
care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun
stuff like great trips. So when you have
money, take off the top 10%, put it
aside, save and invest wisely.
41. What is the piggy bank
strategy?
A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.
B. Setting a goal before
making a travel plan.
C. Aiming high even when
doing small things.
D. Putting
aside a little money regularly for future use.
42.
Why did the
writer
?
s parents give him a
piggy bank as a gift?
A. To delight him
with the latest fashion.
B. To encourage him to climb mountains.
C. To help him form the habit of
saving.
D. To teach him English
pronunciation.
43. What does then
underlined word
“
something
”
(Paragraph 3) most probably
refer to?
A. Money
B. Gifts
C. Financial success
D. Good luck
44. The piggy
ban originally was _________.
A. a
potter
?
s instrument
B. a cheap clay container
C.
an animal-shaped dish
D. a pig-like
toy for children
45. The last paragraph
talks about ________.
A. the seriousness of
educating children
B. the
enjoyment of taking a great trip
C. the
importance of managing money
D. the difficulty of
starting a business
B
Here
is some must-know information from a handbook on
how people behave in doing business in
some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They
often stand close when talking and it is common
for them to
touch
the
person
on
the
shoulder.
People
often
greet
each
other
(particularly
women)
with
light
cheek
kisses. Schedules tend
to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes
starting later than planned. But to
be
safe,
be
on
time.
Meals
can
stretch
for
hours
—
there
?
s
no
such
thing
as
rushing
a
meal
in
Brazil.
Lunches
also
can
start
in
the
mid
to
late
afternoon.
Brazilians
are
social,
preferring
face-to-face
communication over mails or phone
calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet
and often also greet each other with a small,
polite bow.
Business cards should be
offered and received with two hands. Arriving late
is considered disrespectful. So
be on
time. Efficiency(
效率
) is the
goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-
paced. Singaporeans are
direct
in
their
discussions,
even
when
the
subject
is
about
money.
Rank
is
important
and
authority
is
respected.
This
determines
both
people
interact
in
meetings.
For
example,
people
avoid
disagreeing
outright with someone with a higher
rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the
most senior or oldest should be greeted first with
their titles.
The handshake seems to be
longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the
handshake. Women should
cover
themselves
when
it
comes
to
dress.
Men
also
tend
to
be
covered
from
neck
to
elbows(
肘部
)
and
down to the knees.
People do not avoid entertaining in their homes,
but they also hold business meals at
restaurants. Touching or passing food
or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.
When meetings are
one-to-one,
if
your
host
offers
you
coffee,
you
should
refuse.
It
might
seem
odd,
but
it
is
a
cultural
tradition. Coffee should only be
accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss
tend to be formal and address each other by last
name. They also are respectful of private
lives. You should be careful not to ask
about personal topics. Punctuality
(
守时
) is vital, something
that
comes from a deep respect for
others
?
time. Arrive at any
meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.
They
also
have
clear
structure
in
their
companies.
Higher-ups
make
the
final
decisions,
even
if
others
might
disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss
follow formal table manners. They also keep their
hands visible at the table and their
elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the
food on your plate.
46. The passage is
mainly about ________.
A. communication types
B. the
workplace atmosphere
C. customs and social
manners
D. living conditions and
standards
47. Why do Singaporeans avoid
arguing with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in
the first place.
B. They dislike face-to-
face communication.
C. They want to finish
meetings as quickly as possible.
D. They are
supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
48. In the UAE, when should you refuse
the coffee if it is offered?
A. When
greeting seniors.
B. When meeting
the host alone.
C. When attending a
presentation.
dining with business partners.
49. In
which country do people care about where to put
their hands at the dinner table?
A. In Brazil.
B.
In Singapore.
C. In the United Arab Emirate.
D. In Switzerland.

Last summer, two nineteenth-century
cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in
Montana, to be
moved to an Art Deco
building in San Francisco. The houses were made of
wood. These cottages once
housed early
settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now
they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages
could be an example of the
industry
?
s odd love affair
with
“
low
technology,
”
a concept
associated
with
the
natural
world,
and
with
old-school
craftsmanship
(
手艺
)
that
exists
long
before
the
Internet era. Low technology is not
virtual (
虚拟的
)
—
so, to take advantage of
it, Internet companies have
had to get
creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by
hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious
example, but
Twitter
?
s designs lie on the
extreme end. Other companies are using a broader
interpretation
(
阐释
) of low
technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is
building three glass spheres filled with trees, so
that employees can
“
work and
socialize in a
more natural, park-like
setting.
”
At
Google
?
s office, an entire
floor is carpeted in glass.
Facebook
?
s second
Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop
park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder
of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech
companies over the years.
“
We
have
lost
the
connection
to
the
maker
in
our
lives,
and
our
tech
engineers
are
the
ones
who
feel
impoverished
(
贫乏的
) , because
they
?
re surrounded by the
digital world,
”
he says.
“
They
?
re
looking for a
way to regain their
individual identity, and
we
?
ve found that introducing
real crafts is one way to do
that.
”
