Emma Morano is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s. She outlived all her brothers and sisters, including one who died at age 102. Her doctor noted that when Morano was young, people used to say she was weak and often sick. While she is lucky to have lived so long, parts of her life were “not so nice”.

C We all know employees talk, and things can never remain totally secret. But a direct discussion about salary details probably isnt the best idea. There are organizations that openly share salary information around the office. However, unless all similar jobs pay the same rate, people advise that open salary concepts do not work well. When companies have different employees on the same job and one of them is paid differently, many unfairness issues surface. It can happen in any company that differentiates (区分)pay for any reason like seniority and performance. You should run the risk of causing a distance between you and your colleagues if they learn you earn more for what they think to be the same job. The secret nature of your salary, in fact, can be a greater benefit to you. It creates an opportunity for a manager to have a personal discussion with employees as to why they are being paid what they are and how they can then move forward with confidence that they have developed a “special relationship with their supervisor ( 主管 )on their individual issues, good and bad, without involving others in the process. If you learn that someone who holds a similar position earns a bigger paycheck, dont panic. First, do some due diligence to determine if you are being underpaid in general. Use the Internet salary calculator, and also reach out to your out of office network to find out how people at other companies are being compensated. Next, youd better go to your boss and ask the reasons. Open a rational dialog to understand what skills or experience youll need to improve your performance and earn more recognition and financial rewards. 28. What could happen if your colleagues learned that you are paid more? A. They might become less friendly to you.B. Your salary might be reduced soon. C. They might badly perform in their work.D. You might be given extra jobs. 29. What is the advantage of keeping salary information secret? A. It inspires you to make greater progress in your work. B. It warns you to work harder to make more money. C. It gives the manager a chance to communicate with you. D. It proves the manager treats all his employees equally. 30. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To tell about how to get along with the boss.B. To show how to keep silent about the problem. C. To urge employees to argue with the boss.D. To suggest ways to deal with the problem. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Personal relationship.B. Salary secret. C. Colleague pressure.D. Salary difference. D Com has been a significant part in American food since before European arrival. After the Civil War, grits （粗玉米粉）,which are made out of com, became a diet mainstay （支柱）because water-powered mills turned up.

Edward Lee has prepared it like the porridge his Korean parents cooked during his growing up, but uses Kentuckys Wiesenberger grits.

After you find the perfect plant, it is time to plant it. In general, plastic or fiberglass pots are best for growing tomatoes. They dont dry out quickly. While tomatoes love heat, they dont like being dry. 37 Besides, tomatoes need to grow in a reasonably large pot. A pot must be 8 inches deep. Thats the absolute minimum. A 12-or 16-inch pot is even better. 38 Dont use soil dug directly from the garden. It is too heavy for container gardens. Compost （ 混 合的）based soil, whether purchased or mixed from your special recipe, is nice. When planting the tomato, put some soil in the bottom of the pot and set the plant in. After you have the plant set at the proper level, fill in around it with soil. The soil should go up to about an inch below the rim （ 边缘 ） of the pot to allow room for watering. 39 The best way to tell when to water is to stick your finger into the soil-if the first two inches are dry, its time to water. The trickiest thing about growing tomatoes in a pot is that they are heavy feeders. Every time you water, you wash nutrients out of the soil. So fertilize （施肥）regularly. Once a month is good. But every other week, applying the fertilizer at half-strength is letter. 40 A. Thats why clay pots are popular. B. Instead, use whatever soil you can get. C. And dry soil can reduce fruit production. D. This provides constant nutrients for the tomato plants. E. They require peoples much work to stay manageable. F. Tomatoes dont like being dry, so water them regularly. G. Any good quality organic potting soil works for tomatoes. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Allen decided to leave home city and make a living by himself because his family was too poor.
