1、Passage 19Throughout her working life, a ship — like a motorcar — must be serviced regularly if she
is to remain efficient. After a period at sea she must be overall checked and any necessary repairs
must be made. There are also instances when a ship must be converted from being one kind of
carrier to another. Most of today‘s oil, for example, is carried by huge super-tankers. The smaller
tankers, many of which are still in good condition, can be converted into bulk carriers（散货船）
for the transport of sugar, coal or ore.
Conversion or repair work is carried out in a dry dock, a huge hole cut into the ground and
lined with concrete. At one end are large gates separating the dock from the river or sea. When
these gates are opened, water pours into the dock and fills it. A ship can then enter the dock, where
it is carefully fastened in an upright position.When the ship is positioned inside the dock, the gates are closed and the water is pumped out.
The vessel slowly settles on to wooden blocks. Wooden supporters are put in position between the
ship and the sides of the dock to prevent her from rolling over. Great care is taken to make sure
that the ship rests evenly on the keel（龙骨）blocks to prevent damage being done.
As soon as the ship is firmly positioned, repair or conversion work can begin on her body or
superstructure.

1、Passage 10Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with.
Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course,
not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up
the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you
do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your
professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He
needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But
how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事).
Observe and understand your boss‘s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask!
Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not
view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help
you.
In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and
learning to work with his personality and management style.

1、Passage 13The favorite food in the United States is hamburger. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is
a fast food restaurant. At a fast food restaurant, people order their food, wait a few minutes, and
carry it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in
their cars or in their homes. At some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it
and pick it up without leaving their cars.
There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States. The greatest in number
sell hamburgers, French fries and so on. They are popular food among Americans. Besides, Italian
food, chicken, seafood and ice-cream are very popular, too. The idea of a fast food restaurant is so
popular that nearly every kind of food can be found in one.
Fast food restaurants are popular because they reflect American life style. Customers can
wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. Second, they are fast. People who are
busy do not want to spend time preparing their own food or waiting while someone prepares it. In
fast food restaurants the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it. Finally most
food in a fast food restaurant is not expensive. Therefore people are able to buy and eat at a fast
food restaurant often, while they may not be able to go to a more expensive restaurant very often.
