After 10 seasons wearing the No.8 on his back，Kobe Bryant will become No.24 next season.The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
Bryant wore No.24 when he was in early high school，but he changed to No.33 in his senior year.He switched to No.8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996，and has not been changed since.
Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs.So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.
There are all kinds of speculations（猜測(cè)）.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start.He has often been criticized for phying to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No.23 jersey（運(yùn)動(dòng)衫）.Some，such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre，argue that it is“all about money”.Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
Some speculations are more about fun.For example，there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama“24”.
All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.
Jersey numhers have their own special significance in American sports，especially basketball.
Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career.When a great player retires，his team will honor him by retiring his number.
To some extent，the jersey is the player，and the player is the jersey.Thus，when you see the famous No.23 for the Chicago Bulls，you immediately think about Michael Jordan.A No.32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O’Neal，and the Houston Rockets’No.11 belongs only to Yao Ming.

  1. 1.

    1. A.
      The Los Angeles Lakers.         
    2. B.
      The Houston Rockets.

  2. 2.

    1. A.
      for two years and a half            
    2. B.
      for ten years
    3. C.
      since he entered high school        
    4. D.
      since he left high school
  3. 3.

    Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number?

    1. A.
      He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.
    2. B.
      He wants to compare himself to Jordan.
    3. C.
      He wants to earn more money.
    4. D.
      He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.
  4. 4.

    What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    1. A.
      When a great player retires，his team will reward him with much money.
    2. B.
      A lucky number will be passed on to a new player.
    3. C.
      An outstanding player’s jersey number won’t be used after his retirement.
    4. D.
      A great player often changes his jersey number in the same team

If you know exactly what you want, the best way to get a job is to get specialized training. A recent survey shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work immediately with very little on-the-job training. 
That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the effect of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of companies gradually losing faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz mentions a pattern in hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management.  “They want someone who isn’t constrained（限制）by details to look at the big picture,” says  Scheetz. This sounds like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts （文科）graduates. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston Red Sox, claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch.
For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz. 

  1. 1.

    What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?

    1. A.
      Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.
    2. B.
      People with an MBA degree from top universities.
    3. C.
      People with formal schooling plus work experience.
    4. D.
      People with special training in engineering
  2. 2.

    By saying “…but the effect of a degree washes out after five years”(Para 2), the author means     . 

    1. A.
      most MBA programs fail to provide students with a solid foundation
    2. B.
      an MBA degree does not help in the future promotion
    3. C.
      MBA programs will not be as popular in five years’ time as they are now
    4. D.
      people will not forget about the degree the MBA graduates have got
  3. 3.

    According to Scheetz’s statement ( Para. 3), companies prefer people who     . 

    1. A.
      have a strategic mind
    2. B.
      are talented in fine arts
    3. C.
      are ambitious and aggressive
    4. D.
      have received training in mechanics
  4. 4.

    David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because they     . 

    1. A.
      are more capable of handling changing situations
    2. B.
      can stick to established ways of solving problems
    3. C.
      are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields
    4. D.
      have attended special programs in management
  5. 5.

    Which of the following statements does the author support?

    1. A.
      Specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists.
    2. B.
      Formal schooling is less important than job training.
    3. C.
      On-the-job training is, in the long run, less costly.
    4. D.
      Generalists will do better than specialists in management.

Who doesn’t love sitting beside a cosy fire on a cold winter’s night ? Who doesn’t love to watch flames (火苗) curling up a chimney? Fire is one of man’s greatest friends, but also one of his greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay (草) can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot (腐爛) and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That’s why farmers cut and store (貯存) their hay when it’s dry. 
Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker’s shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 A.D. a fire burnt Rome. Even today, in spite of modern fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds’ worthy of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master .

Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were，but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun -see a great movie perhaps and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may be tired of telling the story.
With E-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.
We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t take the place of any of the old ways
