Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What sill I do after graduation？" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to successful career？"
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．A method to assist in making complex decisions.
B．A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
C．Research on how people make decisions.
D．Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.
As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends oil them. They are the mark of success of failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn't matter that you weren't feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don't count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of vicious competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of "drop outs": young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career？ Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students？
A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms. Teachers themselves arc often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.
The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge's decision you have the right Of appeal, but not after an examiner's. There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person's true abilities. Is it cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them？ This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall: I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teenage millionaire.
The main idea of this passage is ______.
A．examinations exert a pernicious influence on education
B．examinations are ineffective
C．examinations are profitable for institutions
D．examinations are a burden on students

British teaching unions Sunday cautiously welcomed government
plans to extend school opening hours for pupils ages under 14 that 【M1】______
are aimed at allowing parents working longer and keeping kids out 【M2】______
of trouble. Education Secretary Ruth Kelly was Monday to set out a
680-million-pound (1.02-billion-pound, 1.21-billion-dollar)
programme to transfer schools into community centres. 【M3】______
A senior Education Department source said, "Respect is a
two-way street and we know that if we want to keep kids hanging 【M4】______
out and causing trouble, and if we want their parents to go out to
work to support the family, the days of schools opening 9 am—3 pm
are over." Responding to the news, a spokeswoman for the National
Union of Teachers said, "The 680 million sound like new money, but 【M5】______
across 23,000 schools, it will be spread very thinly." Schools did not
necessarily have the capacity or resources to meet the government's
wishes, she added.
Children would be able to turn up early to school for so-called
breakfast clubs and stay lately playing sport or doing homework 【M6】______
under a shake-up of the school day to be known as "Kelly hours".
Prime Minister Tony Blair has said the government's plans for
opening schools from 8 am to 6 pm would end the culture of
"latch-key kids" come home to empty houses after school. 【M7】______
Schools in Britain generally begin at 9 am, closing at six hours 【M8】______
later, although some have already began to extend the learning day,
A prospectus for the scheme was to be sent to schools and local
councils. Writing in the document, Kelly said, "From my visits of 【M9】______
schools, I know that the best are delivering extended services
already. They know that children will be better placed to achieve
their full potential if they are in childcare What allows them to 【M10】______
complete their homework, keep fit and healthy and have fun."
Schools would be free to choose what activities they offered.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Boys and girls, never forget that you educate yourselves. Schools, books and teachers are helps, but you have to do the work. Only by persevering, industrious efforts can you become well educated.
There are two objects in education: first, to develop yourself; second, to gain knowledge. To develop yourself is to strengthen and cultivate your whole being; to improve your memory and reasoning powers; to learn to think and judge correctly; in short, to have your mind grow, so that you will be better able to do your work in life.
You develop yourself by acquiring an education, thinking about, and using it; for education is the food to make your mind grow. To gain knowledge is to learn tacts and methods which will be of use to you in life.
There are four sources from which to derive education; from your own observation, from your experience, from the conversation of others, and from study. You can learn much without books and teachers.
When you visit a manufactory, examine the machinery; try to learn how the power applied at one point moves levers and wheels until it reaches the part that does the work. Wherever work is going on, be sure to learn how it is done. Study into causes and results. The steam engine came from the boy Watt's watching a boiling teakettle, and thinking about it.
Listen to conversation, you can learn something useful from every one. Every one can teach the best-educated man something. Ask people to tell you of what they have seen and known. Never be ashamed to ask about what you do not understand. A learned man was asked how he had acquired such a vast amount of knowledge. "By asking information of every one," he answered.
To educate yourself, you must read, study, observe, reflect, reason, and think. Keep your eyes open, and your mind at work.
The most appropriate title for this passage would be ______.
A．Self-education
B．Objects in Education
C．Ways of Developing Oneself
D．Sources of Receiving Education
If, by and large, we are to make the best use of microelectronics, planning at all levels is necessary so as to prevent the worst signs. Employers and unions must talk over Technology Agreement which will cover the speed, method operation, training and retraining needs associated with new processes and in which the maximum of advanced in formation is vital. Government as an employer is not freed from this procedure. Risk capital needs to be made available for new enterprises—the structure of capital markets in the United Kingdom provides (and can provide) very little. We have far too few qualified analysts or micro-electronic experts and are still training far too few.
The most important point, however, concerns works or the lack of it. As unemployment rises and as the chance of getting another job correspondingly diminishes, in present circumstances, the resistance to redundancy will rise, and quite understandably so. If people made redundant today represent an investment for an uncertain future then they must not be penalized—we encourage normal investment through grants and tax allowances, why not for people too？ Unions will almost certainly bargain for productivity payments to be applied to those who have been sacrificed so as to get the increased productivity and to minimize those sacrifices.
In longer terms, however, it is clear that the old attitudes to work will have to change. Leisure must be viewed as being important to human development as work itself. This involves changes in our primary and secondary school systems and provision of life-long education schemes. It is also the ideal opportunity to improve the services which have a person-to-person contact like health, social services, for example, to the disabled. In short, the next decade could see a take-off into a more caring society in which opportunities exist but the penalties for failure are lessened. This involves a reevaluation of public expenditure and what it is for; a reevaluation of work itself and a reevaluation of our political decision-making processes. While all this possible, it is also possible to drift in the opposite direction, towards an inhuman totalitarian regime where profit is the only belief. The choice is ours. We must not fail our children.
According to the author, to take full advantage of microelectronics, we must try to______.
A．reduce unemployment
B．preclude the most serious negative potentialities
C．increase our energy production
D．control both the unions and employers
The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy of the bank failures of the 1930s. The current high rate -- higher than at any time since the Great Depression -- has made legislators afraid to remove the restrictions. While legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today's telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets. In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For example, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states' regulations permitted that bank to expand through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region7 Of course not. The solution is clear American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited. The House of Representative's banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limited, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to form. counterweights to the big money-center banks. Without this breathing space the big money-legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American's suitable banking legislation.
The author’s attitude towards the current banking laws is best described as one of _______.
A．concerned dissatisfaction
B．tolerant disapproval
C．uncaring indifference
D．great admiration
？Read the following article about job interviews and the questions below the passage.
？For each question (13—18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Making the Right Impression
The first thing to remember when you go for a job interview is that this is not a one-sided affair. Treat it as you would do in a negotiation. After all, both you and the prospective employer are selling something. If you approach an interview with the attitude of "any job will do", the interviewer will realize that immediately. If the job is worth anything, you won't get it.
You should prepare yourself for an interview just as you would do for a negotiation. Find out as much as you can about the company and the person who is to interview you. Don't be caught unawares. Go to the Internet and look at the company's website. Compare it with that of its competitors. Alternatively, look at the Yellow Pages or trade magazines to see how they advertise themselves. Make enquiries at the Chamber of Commerce and other relevant organizations. Find out at least a little about the sector se that you can ask interesting questions.
Think of and note down your strengths and the opportunities that lie ahead. No matter how high unemployment is, regardless of how miserable you are in your current job, it's always an advantage to see things in a positive light. If you have little or no experience m a particular area, consider your capabilities in a similar area. Spend some time trying to imagine what type of employee the company is looking for and what makes you suitable for the job being advertised.
First impressions count, so look good and feel good before you go. Choose clothes that make you feel confident, Find out what clothes may put the interviewer off. Ensure you arrive at the interview with time to spare. According to more than one recruitment agency we spoke to. interviewees must understand the importance not only of their personal appearance but also of their body language. During the interview, breathe calmly and try not to appear too nervous. Look the interviewer in the eye and adopt similar body language to theirs. Smile and feel relaxed, enthusiastic and assertive. Remember one thing, though: assertive does net mean aggressive.
Don't just answer "yes" or "no" to questions. Treat every question as an opportunity to demonstrate that you are suitable for the job, but remember to stick to the point. When asked about your interests, include group as well as individual activities/hobbies. Be on the lookout for tricky questions about your personal life. You don't need to lie; just sell yourself in the best light. This is something the interviewee needs to be able to do as well. You have the right to find out whether or not you want to work for the company. Furthermore, your interest in the nature of the Comply and how it is nm may well end up being your big selling point.
In job interviews, candidates tend to ignore the fact that
A．they are at a disadvantage.
B．they are buying and selling at the same time.
C．an interview is like a presentation.
D．the interviewer will be realistic.
