upplementary Reading:
Read the following passage and choose the
correct answers.
U1 In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory, or some other place away form the home. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, a house, and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.
In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away form the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked the meals, cleaned house, washed the clothes, and did other household work, Her job at home was very important.
In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many
Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.
There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.
A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.

U2 When a 20-pound turkey emerged from the kitchen at a weekend dress rehearsal (排演) for Thanksgiving dinner, about two dozen Chinese immigrants pulled out their digital cameras and took pictures.
―Wah!‖ exclaimed several.
―It’s cooked so well,‖ said Wilson Goh. ―Under the light, it’s very pretty.‖
Sponsored (赞助) by the Chinese American Etiquette Association, the event addressed the typical American holiday’s traditions, which often baffle new immigrants. ―The great thing is that immigrants come and adopt these holidays and traditions and also change them,‖ said Noah Pickus, a professor of ethics and public policy at Duke University who studies American identity. ―That is part of how they become American, and it gives new energy to us.‖
Jane Leu, director of Upwardly Global, a San Francisco organization that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers, sees special relevance for immigrants in Thanksgiving.
―Most don’t know that it is actually a celebration of getting through the first year in America and living to tell the tale.‖ Leu said. ―My sense is that you have to be in the U.S. for a long time before you feel that getting up at 7 a.m. on a day off to put in the turkey and bake up some pies has any meaning.‖
Many immigrants do adopt the holiday after they arrive in the United States, but in their own ways. Cherie M. Querol Moreno, 52, of Daly City, will serve lumpia (spring rolls) and coconut and pineapple fruit salad this Thanksgiving to honor her native Philippines. And she’ll serve succotash and corn to represent the contributions of Native Americans. Moreno says she used to serve turkey, but there’s always too much. She will instead serve chicken this year.
―The spirit of the holiday lives in each wave of settlers that arrives and enriches this country with their culture and traditions,‖ said Moreno, who immigrated in 1980. ―I didn’t want to imitate the first Thanksgiving; I wanted to make the occasion meaningful to us.‖

D. most immigrants don’t like getting up early to prepare traditional Thanksgiving food. Key:A B D C C
U3 It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints ( 约束 ) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:
I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We
18
had cubicle ( 小隔间 ) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but \isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve A. advertise himself on the job market
B. persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract
C. try to get inside information about the organization D. do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions
5. To be successful in negotiations, one must_____. A. meet his boss at the appropriate time B. arrive at the negotiation table punctually
C. be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction D. be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes Key: D B A D C
a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.
Performance is your best bargaining chip ( 筹码 ) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market.
What will someone else pay for your services?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.

U4 The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive（极度活跃的） America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed（无与伦比的） might（力量）. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: ―Won’t the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anticompetitive force?”
There’s no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates（分公司） account for a fast growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s,multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.
I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie（潜存于?之下） the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers’ demands. All these are beneficial, not detrimental(有害的), to consumers. As productivity grows, the world’s wealth increases.
Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty（少的）. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S., when the Standard Oil Trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies,
19
such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress .On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.
Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. A few weeks ago, Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry. Who is going to supervise, regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? C.unfair competition
D.the super power of the U.S. Key: C A D B C
U5 The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large Won’t multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements（侵害） to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself the role of ―defending competition‖ on issues that affect many other nations, as in the U.S. vs. Microsoft case?
1.What is the typical trend of businesses today? A.to take in more foreign funds B.to invest more abroad
C.to combine and become bigger D.to trade with more countries
2.According to the author, one of the driving forces behind M&A wave is_____. A.the greater customer demands B.a surplus supply for the market C.a growing productivity
D.the increase of the world’s wealth
3.From paragraph 4 we can infer that_____.
A.the increasing concentration is certain to hurt consumers
B.WorldCom serves as a good example of both benefits and costs
C.the costs of the globalization process are enormous D.the Standard Oil Trust might have threatened competition
4.Toward the new business wave, the writer’s attitude can be said to be____. A.optimistic B.objective C.pessimistic D.biased
5．Microsoft serves as a example of ___ in the last paragraph.
A.a successful merger
B.multinationals shift production from one place to another
population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.
1.A small population may mean _____ .
A. higher productivity, but a lower average income B. lower productivity, but a higher average income C. lower productivity, and a lower average income D. higher productivity, and a higher average income 2.According the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _____ . A. agriculture
B. transport system C. industry
D. national economy
3.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _____ . A. goes up
