14、shington kept as a young man are still inexistence.They show that he was learning Latin,was very interested in the basics ofgood behavior in society,and was reading English literature.At school he seemed onlyto have been interested in mathematics.In fact his formal education was surprisingly brieffo
15、r a gentleman,and incomplete.Unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day,hedid not go to the college of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg.Interms of formal training then,Washington contrasted sharply with some other earlyAmerican presidents such as John Adams,Thomas Je
16、fferson and James Madison.In lateryears,Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training.He never feltcomfortable in a debate in Congress.And because he never learned French and could notspeak directly to the French leaders,he did not visit the country he admired so much.Thus,unlike J
17、efferson and Adams,he never reached Europe.36.The main idea of the passage is that Washingtons education _.A.was of great variety,covering many subjectsB.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC.may seem poor by modern standard,but was good enough of his timeD.was rather limi

21、 impracticalPassage 2The American idea of customer service is to make each customer the center ofattention.People going shopping in America can expect to be treated with respect fromthe very beginning.When customers get to the store,they ate treated as honored guests.Customers dont usually find stor
22、e clerks sitting around watching TV or playing cards.Instead,the clerks greet them warmly and offer to help them find what they want.Inmost stores,the signs that label each department make shopping a breeze(容易的事情).Customers usually dont have to ask how much items cost,since prices are clearlymarked.
23、When customers are ready to check out,they find the nearest and shortestcheckout lane.But as Murphy s Law would have it,Whichever lane they get in,all theother lanes will move faster.Good stores open new checkout lanes when the lanes get toolong.Some even offer express lanes for customers with 10 it
24、ems or less.After they payfor their purchases,customers receive a smile and a warm“thank you”from the cleck.Many stores even allow customs to take their shopping carts out to the parking lot.Thatway,they don t have to carry heavy bags out to the car.In America,customer servicecontinues long after th
25、e sale.Many products come with a money back guarantee.Ifthere is a problem with the product,customers can take it back.The customer servicerepresentative will often allow them to exchange the item or return it for a full refund.41.From the passage we know in America the principle of customer service

31、hen air is blown into the bottom of the machine.This part is shaped like asaucer,the machine rises to a height that may vary from a few inches to a few feet.Industry is already using one from of the invention to deal with heavy loads.It can liftthem with ease and since there are no wheels,and theref
32、ore no friction(摩擦),they canbe put into motion with the touch of a fingerThe new invention,however,is having agreat effect on transport.Not only does it make expensive road systems unnecessary,butalso it enables vehicles to travel equally well over land or water.This unique ability toreach most dest

37、wth and acceptance oftelecommuting.Nearly two third of the top 1000 companies in the world have atelecommuting program,and 92 percent say it reduces cost and improves workersproductivity(生产力).The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a weekare quickly disappearing.Telecommuting involves
38、 a non traditional work arrangement enabling workers towork at home or elsewhere,some or all of the time.This is not a new,novel,or untested way of working.But is it for you?Telecommuting is not a panacea(万能药).Whether you are amanager,or an HR(Human Resources)specialist,there are decisions to make a
