But the words, Carl Walter spoke th

28、at day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, don't.

29、” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.” When I was teaching at C

30、olumbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment.

31、Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every

32、day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly.

33、If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have ne

34、ver learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without

35、delay.56. What is the best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your Work. B. Good AdviceC. How I Became a Writer.D. A Little at a Time.57. Which of the following statements is true?A. The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.B. The writer didn't

36、take the teacher's words to heart at first.C. Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writers life since he became a student.D. Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.58. The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by _.A. expectedB. concentrated C. val

37、uedD. enriched59. We can infer that the writer _.A. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so hes devoted to work instantlyB. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavyC. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his no

38、vels D. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isBBaby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl（爬）, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological

39、basis to their preferences. Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys' toys a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The

40、 rest were girls toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significan

41、tly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playi

42、ng with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the childrens choice.Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given toys that go while girls ge

43、t toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, pr

44、obably through hunting instincts, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”63. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because _.A. baby boys are much more active B. baby girls like bright colors moreC. there is a natural difference between them

45、 D. their parents treat them differently64. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?A. Nine-month-old baby boys dont play with dolls at all.B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.C. Parents should teach their babies to share each others toys.D. The older the babies are, the more o

46、bvious their preference is.65. What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?A. Babies preference isnt affected by social surroundings.B. Adults purposely influence their babies preference.C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.D. Baby girls preferrin

47、g warmer colors will be warm-hearted.66. We may read this article in a _ section of a newspaper.A. healthB. science C. education D. entertainment CMany people think that communication is the source of most of their work-related conflicts, but theyd be wrong. In a work context, more conflicts come fr

48、om structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself.Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. F

49、or instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality controls attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organizations products meet standard. When groups within an

50、organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics-the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when the

51、y smiled-annoyed you. Weve all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this.Todays organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values such as responsibility, equalit

52、y and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.The above doesnt mean that communication cant be a source of con

53、flicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for con

54、flicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when theres too little. So when youre trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. Its more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements, personality differences, or dissimilar values, it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict. 64. From Para.2, we know that in an organization, _.A. job descriptions can effectively improve coop
