21、   Americans in business have a language of their own. Some of the words and expressions deal with the special areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.

One such saying is “get your act together”. When things go wrong in a business, the boss may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.” Or, if the boss is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.”

Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.

Where did the saying begin? It is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.”

Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common at the late 1970s. Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy(改革政策) required that the British government get its act together.

Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. And it has become shortened to “get it together”. Both mean the same thing — straighten out your feelings and problems. If you always worry about your tests, you should really get it together!

【1】The underlined phrase “get your act together” means______in Chinese here.

A.聚在一起 B.别犯傻了 C.仔细筹划 D.做你的事

【2】We can infer from Paragraph 4 that______.

A.the writer isn’t sure where the saying comes from . B.an actor used the saying first

C.a teacher used this saying first D.it’s not necessary to ask where the saying comes from

【3】What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 5?

A.People didn’t know what “get it together” means in 1978.

B.“Get it together” was only used in newspapers.

C.“Get it together” was commonly used at the late 1970s.

D.The British government get it together in 1978.

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.When you make a mistake, you may be told to get it together.

B.Now this saying is mainly used in school tests.

C.“Get it together” has the same meaning as “get your act together”.

D.Now this saying deals with a lot of areas.

22、A water bearer (搬运工) in India had two large pots. One pot had a crack (裂缝) and the other was perfect. One always came home half empty and the other was full.

For two years this went on. The water bearer carried one and one-half pots full of water to his master’s house. The poor cracked pot was ashamed (害羞的) of itself. One day it spoke to the bearer by the river.

“I am ashamed (羞愧的) of myself, and I want to apologize.”

“Why?” asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”

“I have been able to hold only half. Because of my crack, you have to do all this work, and you don’t get full value for your efforts,” said the pot.

The bearer felt sorry and said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the road.” As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the beautiful wild flowers and this comforted it some.

The bearer said, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side, but not on the other side? I planted flower seeds on your side, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate (装饰) my master’s table.”

We are all cracked pots. But we shouldn’t be ashamed, because we can be the cause of beauty. In our weakness, we can find our strength.

根据短文内容判断正误. 正确的写A。错误的写B.

【1】There were two pots. They were both perfect.

【2】The bearer felt ashamed of the cracked pot.

【3】The water from the perfect pot watered the seeds and plants on the way.

【4】The flowers were used to decorate the master’s table.

【5】The story tells us that no one is perfect , but we can each do our best to create beauty.

23、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Medical experts (专家)say most Americans do not get enough sleep. They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short time in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities.The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure(压力).

Some western companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase (提高) the amount of work that a person can do.

Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap. About twenty minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your effects until the end of the day. But experts said that a nap should last  (持续) no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.
