【題目】Today Dante had a small skating competition in his class. Before we went to the competition, I asked him if he wanted to wear something nice for the competition and he said, “Who cares? it’s not important.” When we showed up at the rink(溜冰場), we found that most of the kids were dressed up. One boy who was around nine years old was my son’s friend, wearing a dress shirt and a pink vest. I walked over to his mother saying how beautifully dressed he was. But his mother said, “He didn’t want to dress up. He said that this competition was not important for him to dress up.”

I thought it was interesting that neither Dante nor his friend viewed the competition as important and neither wanted to dress up. I started to wonder if this was how a child learned what was “important” and what wasn’t.

Interestingly, this boy won two medals and Dante won none.

Parents and teachers often instill (灌輸) what they think is important: then children will accept the opinions of the adults. Gradually, they grow up stressing about how they look, how many medals they get, what color the medals are, how good their grades are, what a great “job” they can get in life, what a big house they can live in... etc.

Dante taught me an important lesson today. He taught me what was unimportant. Life goes on long after the medal ceremony whether you win a medal or not.

【1】Why didn’t Dante want to dress up for the competition?

A. He had no proper clothes.

B. He had no time to dress up.

C. His mother didn’t prepare clothes for him.

D. He thought he didn’t need to dress up.

【2】What does Paragraph 5 want to tell us?

A. Children stress about many things in life.

B. Adults may instill wrong ideas into children.

C. Children are always influenced by adults.

D. Adults should set good examples to children.

【3】What lesson did the author learn from her son?

A. Winning medals makes people proud.

B. Not all things are that important in life.

C. Fairness is more important in competitions.

D. Kids have a better understanding of life than adults.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】B

【解析】作者通過陪伴兒子參加班里一個小型滑冰比賽，從兒子身上學到“不是所有的事情都重要”的道理。

【1】D

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句“He didn’t want to dress up. He said that this competition was not important for him to dress up.”可知，他認為他不需要打扮。故選D。

【2】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段Dante taught me an important lesson today. He taught me what was unimportant.可知，第五段想告訴我們成年人可能會把錯誤的想法灌輸給孩子。故選B。

【3】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Dante taught me an important lesson today. He taught me what was unimportant. Life goes on long after the medal ceremony whether you win a medal or not.可知，作者從兒子身上學到不是所有的事情都重要。故選B。

Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or , customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.
As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.
As employee hierarchies （等級制度）have flattened or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’ to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.
Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (內飾) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s image and will enable employees to and their best.
All these of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.
