12、ces are that you dont act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certai
13、n behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dyin
14、g and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constant
15、ly. Its not taboo to talk about fat; its taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, o
16、n the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is in”, fat is “out”.Its not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim
17、and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for peoples obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has c
18、hanged since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, peoples bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate (命运), millions of people are spending more of their time exerc
19、ising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.1、What does the word “taboo refer to in the passage?AA crime committed on impulse.BAn unfavorable impression left on other people.CA strong
20、desire to do something strange or terrible.DBehavior considered unacceptable to the society.2、What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean?AThe fashionable look.BThe hidden look.CThe usual look.DThe inside look.3、According to the passage, the common belief is that .Afat people are full of
21、 energyBthin people are more successfulCfat people prefer to have fat bossesDthin people are less image-conscious4、People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of .Atheir need to kill timeBtheir love for sportsCtheir concern for healthDtheir belief in hard work22（8分） For all the pressures
22、and rewards of regionalization (地区化) and globalization, local identities remain the most deeply impressed. Even if the end result of globalization is to make the world smaller, its scope seems to foster the need for more private local connections among many individuals. As Bernard Poignant, mayor of
23、 the town of Quimper in Brittany, told the Washington Post, “Man is a fragile animal and he needs his close attachments. The more open the world becomes, the more ties there will be to one s roots and ones land.”In most communities, local languages such as Poignants Breton serve a strong symbolic fu
24、nction as a clear mark of “authenticity (原真性)”. The sum total of a communitys shared historical experience, authenticity reflects a noticeable line from a culturally idealized past to the present, carried by the language and traditions associated with the communitys origins. A concern for authentici
25、ty leads most secular (世俗的) Israelis to defend Hebrew among themselves while also acquiring English and even Arabic. The same obsession with authenticity drives Hasidic Jews in Israel or the Diaspora to champion Yiddish while also learning Hebrew and English. In each case, authenticity amounts to a
26、central core of cultural beliefs and interpretations that are not only resistant to globalization but also are actually reinforced by the “threat” that globalization seems to present to these historical values. Scholars may argue that cultural identities change over time in response to specific rewa
27、rd systems. But locals often resist such explanation and defend authenticity and local mother tongues against the perceived threat of globalization with near religious eagerness.As a result, never before in history have there been as many standardized languages as there are today: roughly 1,200. Man
28、y smaller languages, even those with far fewer than one million speakers, have benefited from state-sponsored or voluntary preservation movements. On the most informal level, communities in Alaska and the American northwest have formed Internet discussion groups in an attempt to pass on Native Ameri
29、can languages to younger generations. In the Basque, Catalan, and Galician regions of Spain, such movements are fiercely political and frequently involved loyal resistance to the Spanish government over political and linguistic rights. Projects have ranged from a campaign to print Spanish money in t
30、he four official languages of the state to the creation of language immersion nursery and primary schools. Zapatistas in Mexico are championing the revival of Mayan languages in an equally political campaign for local autonomy.In addition to causing the feeling of the subjective importance of local
31、roots, supporters of local languages defend their continued use on practical grounds. Local tongues foster higher levels of school success, higher degrees of participation in local government, more informed citizenship, and better knowledge of ones own culture, history, and faith. Government and rel
32、ief agencies can also use local languages to spread information about industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audiences. Development workers in West Africa, for example, have found that the best way to teach the vast number of farmers with little or no formal
33、education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues. Nevertheless, both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multi-literate.1、In paragraph 1, the author quoted a mayors word to show that globalization _.Astrengthens
34、 local identitiesBweakens regionalizationCstrengthens individualismDweakens local attachments2、The influence of globalization on authenticity is that it _.Aweakens the authority of authenticityBprevents the development of authenticityCenhances the importance of authenticityDpromotes the maturity of

37、itionally, it has been the workers role to work and managements role to manage.Managers have planned and directed the finds operations with little thought of consulting the labor force. Managers have rarely felt forced to obtain the workers opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees.
38、At most, companies have provided suggestion boxes in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of laborthey have a vital stake (利害关系) in the company and may be able to make sign
39、ificant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major company decisions affect workers and their dependants. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management?Workers should have a role in ma
40、nagement. At the very least, the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions. A common complaint among ordinary workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoff
41、s (失业) , often with no warning. At least 90 days notice ought to he given in such circumstances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be w
42、illing to make concessions (妥协) that will help keep the plant operating.It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firms board of directors or other major policy-making groups. If ordinary workers
43、 are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their spirits will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive (激励), they must be given a share in the companys profits. This can be done through employee stock ownership p
44、lans (员工持股计划), bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.1、What can we learn about managers from Paragraph l?AThey were not quite qualified.BThe
