As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder,some are finding it necessary to make business trips alone.Since this is new for many,some trips are certainly in order.If you are married,it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away.They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experiences.If you will be eating alone a good deal,choose good restaurants.In the end,they will be much better for your digestion.You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone.You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table.Finally,and most importantly,anticipate your travel needs as a businesswoman;this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed.Take a folding case inside your suitcase,it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes,as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip.And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate.Obviously,experience helps,but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning,so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

Passage 2

One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel.Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880,only about one-third of the originally forested area remained,down to a mere 1 percent of the state's 77,000 square miles.With wood and coal out of the question,and with fuel needed yearround for cooking,and during the harsh winter months for heating,some solution had to be found.

Somewhat improbably,the buffalo provided the answer.Buffalo chips were found to burn evenly,hotly,and cleanly,with little smoke and,interestingly,no odor(气味).Soon,collecting them became a way of life for the settlers' children who would pick them up on their way to and from school,or take part in competitions designed to fight against their natural reluctance.Even a young man,trying to impress the girl he wanted to marry,would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.

Passage 3

Born in 1830 in rural Amherst,Massachusetts,Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents.Between 1858 and 1862,it was later discovered that she wrote like a person possessed(着魔的),often producing a poem a day.It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst.Withdrawing more and more,keeping to her room,sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called,she began to dress only in white—a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric(古怪的人).

In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romance,biographers(传记作者)have missed the unique pattern of her life—her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived.Dickinson was not the innocent,lovelorn,and emotionally weak girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce's 1976 play,《The Belle of Amberst》.Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius.Her seclusion(隔离) was not the result of a failed love affair,but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation(脱离关系) through which she,in her quest for selfsovereignty,carried on an argument with the Puritan fathers,attacking with wit and irony cheerless Calvinist doctrine,their patriarchal God and their rigid notions of true womanhood.

11.According to the passage,the period from 1858 to 1862 was for Emily Dickinson a period of great ________.

A.tragedy B.sociability C.productivity D.frivolity

12.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson's Eccentricities?

A.Avoiding visitors. B.Wearing only white.

C.Refusing to eat. D.Staying in her room.

13.According to the passage,biographers of Emily Dickinson have traditionally ________.

A.criticized most of her poems

B.ignored her innocence and emotional fragility

C.blamed her parents for restricting her activities

D.see her life in romantic terms

14.The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson's seclusion to ________.

A.physical illness B.her dislike of people

C.religious fervor D.a failed love affair

15.It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by ________.

A.strong Puritan beliefs B.equality of men and women

C.the encouragement of nonconformity D.the appreciation of poetic creativity

Passage 4

“Time is a problem for kids,’states a news report for a new Swiss watch.Children in some countries “learn time slowly’ because “they don't wear watches’ and “parents don't really know how to teach them time.’The kids grow up with this handicap and become adult—and then can't get to work on time.Is there an answer to this problem?Of course—it's the Flik Flak,made by a famous Swiss watch company.

The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10,the watch itself dose not teach kids how to tell time,of course;it merely “captures their imagination’ by presenting the “hour’ hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute’ hand as tall blue boy named Flik.Flik points to corresponding(相应的) “blue’ minutes on the dial,while Flak points to red hour numbers.The characters and the colors combined with parental help are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.

The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band.Peter Lipkin,the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak,calls it “kid-proof’.“If it gets dirty,you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine.’The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe,Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25.Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time;it's quite another for them to be on time.
