1.The world is filled with talented people.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I drove it into a garage(修車廠),and the young mechanic had my car(21)Cin just a few minutes.What   (22)A   me most was that he knew what was wrong by simply listening to its(23)B.
But I am(24)D shocked at how little money those talented people earn.Once a business consultant(顧問) in the(25)Atrade told me so many doctors and dentists are struggling   (26)D,which surprised me so much because I used to think that after they graduated,the(27)Cwould pour in.The business consultant then gave me the phrase,"They're some skills away from great wealth."It means that most people need to learn and(28)A some skills of money management before their income increases(29)B.Unfortunately,schools   (30)A consider developing students'financial intelligence(財務(wù)智商) as intelligence,and after graduation,most people just work hard to pay their(31)A.
When asked"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?",almost all my students raised their hands.I then asked,"So,why does McDonald's make more money than you?"Without doubt,the answer is(32)C:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a good hamburger,but know little or nothing about business systems.So this world is filled with talented but (33)Bpeople.Too often,they struggle financially or earn less than they are(34)D of,because they just focus on(35)Atheir skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

20.With the development of science and technology,the research of robots is becoming more and more popular and useful.Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have made important progress in work that should lead toward robots that can not only walk and run very well,but use little energy at the same time.
Studies are moving closer to designing robots that could do dangerous work,create prosthetic limbs(假肢)for humans that work much better than in the past,or even help some people who use wheelchairs to get"walking"abilities.
"Researchers have been working toward robot movement for a long time,"said Jonathan Hurst,a professor at OSU."What we've done is to study what behavior is really possible for a robot."
The movement of humans and other animals is difficult to copy.Using little energy,they can move easily over hard areas,and enjoy balance from muscles.They have different ways to deal with forces,such as holding something hard in place rigidly(牢牢地,堅硬地,不彎曲地),like the act of holding a cup of coffee level during a car ride.In their recent studies,the OSU researchers proved that these two abilities are mutually exclusive(相互排斥的,獨有的,獨占的).Humans deal with this problem by using pairs of muscles.For a robot,the more it's able to do one of these tasks,the less able it is to do the other.
Presently,robots that can walk and run must be as rigid as possible while walking.But this way uses a lot of energy.The OSU researchers are working toward something that has similar or better performance,but uses far less energy,and is closer to the abilities of animals.
"So there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to build robots with good movement ability,"Hurst said."Clearly this might be useful in highly dangerous situations.But I could also see great improvements possible with prosthetic limbs that work much better than present technology."
61.What does"two abilities"( in Para.4 )meanB.
A.jogging and flying           
B.moving and balancing
C.holding and using little energy      
D.walking and holding
62.Which item have researchers been researching for a long time?B
A.The robots'appearance.
B.The robots'movement.
C.The robots'height.
D.The robots'weight
63.The robots at Oregon State UniversityA.
A.more advanced than before        
B.don't use energy at all.
C.a(chǎn)re not successful at all now     
D.can fly
64.In the opinion of Jonathan Hurst,robots with good movement abilityA.
A.can be used in medical science
B.a(chǎn)re only used in highly dangerous situations
C.will not be created in the future
D.will have a bad influence on man
65.Which part is this article probably taken from a newspaper?C
A.Sports section.
B.Health section   
C.Science section.
D.Traffic section.

13.For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer,it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive,and become established during their early 20s,making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.
Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season's collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy."We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is."says Lydia Kemeny,the Head of Fashion at St.Martin's School of Art in London."And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary."
This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won't be slow in introducing students to commercial realities."We don't walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price,producing ability,marketing and so on."
Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of self-expression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers'characteristic style.Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12WORDS.)
81.What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?Business skills and creativity
82.Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?Because consumers'needs keep changing./the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy
83.Besides learning to design beautiful dresses,students are also taughtcommercial realities/there strictions of price,producing ability,marketing.
84.According to the last paragraph,the employers'characteristic style and the mainstream of market. are the two things fashion designers have to consider when working as employees.
