21、If it were up to me, I’d write this piece next week or even later. Let the dust settle a bit. But I have my father’s insistent voice in my head: the story is now, so you write it now. No one wants to read last week’s news.
My father Michael was a journalist. He started at age 16 on his local paper, the Luton News, and after nine years there, he went on to a six-decade career that saw him write more than 40 biographies of Hollywood stars and spend a quarter-century presenting a weekly radio show.
From him I learned about deadlines and accuracy, and absorbed his rule about professional clothing, one he had been taught by his first boss. Even when he was working at home, my father would follow that rule: shirt and tie, every day.
There were other less obvious lessons. The first is about being manly. Driven and competitive, he wasn’t present for the birth of any of his three children, but he was the very model of being loving and faithful. My father never took me to the football or taught me to change a tyre. In a pub, he might manage some drinks, but his main focus would usually be the food menu. He was a model of a different kind of maleness.
But perhaps the biggest lesson I learned from him was about resilience. He got deep blows, losing both his wife and firstborn child, my sister Fiona, within two years of each other. And yet, somehow, he got back up again. He taught himself to cook and continued to dress neatly, picking out a bright jacket that ensured he stood out in a room. He would meet editors and write stories with the same hunger he had 65 years earlier. Younger colleagues keep using the same word about him: appealing.
I hope I learned his resilience, the way I learned about being a journalist. People keep telling me that my father was proud of me; and the truth is I was proud of him. Raised in a hard-up corner of wartime England, he went off to see the world—and he never stopped looking forward and upward, staring at the stars.
【1】What has made the author write down the text so soon?
A. His father’s words motivated him to do so.
B. He wanted to settle down after the writing.
C. He wanted to write it before he forgot it.
D. It was the story he insisted on writing.
【2】What was the author’s impression of his father?
A. He always managed to dress up following the fashion.
B. He sometimes had a hard time meeting the work deadline.
C. He trained the author to be manly and do the basic things.
D. He was competitive at work and remained a loving Dad.
【3】What was the best lesson the author learned from his father?
A. The necessity of keeping good shape.
B. Quick recovery from suffering or blow.
C. The ability to get a content career.
D. The pride one takes in his/her parents.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dad Left a Deep Impression on Me for His Work
B. Dad Proved Faithful and Loving for the Family
C. My Dad Showed How to Be a Journalist and a Man
D. I Learned to Recover Quickly after a Suffering

23、Day in and day out. Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell. They might be as small as the titles of books on a table, the action of making the bed or the images on the posters on the wall—anything that might provide a clue to the place where the child is suffering, and might finally lead the police to the abuser.
How can Rose decide to do such work? And all that for a salary of less than $23,000 a year? She said her motivation in joining the work was to protect the public." When I first started this job, there was anger at the beginning. But when you see what the children have to endure, you know someone has to be there to protect them. If I can play a small part, I will help make a difference."
The 33-year-old woman is enthusiastic about her job. Rose and her team have done what they could to put the children's life back together. They are very proud of what they have done.
The nature of her work has changed her for the better. "I'm a lot more focused on the positive, much more relaxed about the world. I enjoy the good people around me," she says. Rose thinks that her job is a bit like giving blood. Maybe you don't like doing it, but someone has to. She regards it as her duty to help abused children.

24、With economies in free fail, managers need up-to-date information about what is happening to their businesses, so that they can change course rapidly if necessary. Cisco, an American network-equipment giant, has invested over many years in the technology needed to generate such data. Frank Caideroni, the firm's CEO, says that every day its senior executives can track exactly what orders are coming in from sales teams around the world, and identify emerging trends in each region and market segment. And at the end of each month, the firm can get reliable financial results within four hours of closing its books. Most firms have to wait days or even weeks for such certainty.
Admittedly, Cisco's financial results have not made happy reading recently because, in common with many other large technology companies, it has been demand for its products drop in the downturn. In early February it announced that its fiscal second-quarter revenues of %9.1 billion were 7.5% lower than the same period in 2019 and that its profit had fallen by 27%, to $1.5 billion.
In response to hard times, Cisco plans to cut $1 billion from its costs this year by, among other things, making use of its own video-conferencing and other communication technologies to reduce the amount its executives travel. It is also using these facilities to convey information from employees on the ground to its senior managers, and to get instructions from Cisco's leaders back out to its staff of 67,000. A rapid exchange information and instructions is especially valuable if the company wants to alter course during stormy times.
If everybody in a company can rapidly grasp what they have to do and how it is changing, they are more likely to get the job done. But some firms are reluctant to share their goals with the wider world. Unilever, a big Anglo-Dutch consumer-goods group, has decided against issuing a 2020financial forecast to investors, arguing that it is difficult to predict what is going to happen, given the dangerous state of the world economy. "We're not just going to provide numbers for the sake of it," explains James Allison, the company's head of investor relations. Other companies that have decided not to provide annual earnings estimates for 2020 include Costco, a big American retailer, and Union Pacific, an American railway company.
Some firms, such as Intel, seem to have chosen to take things quarter by quarter. The giant chip maker said in January that it would not issue an official forecast for the first quarter of 2020 after its fourth-quarter 2019 profit decreased by 90%. Several retail chains have also stopped providing monthly sales estimates because they cannot see what the future holds. Retailers, chip makers and firms in many other industries may have to wait a while before the economic fog finally lifts.
【1】What can we learn about Cisco from the passage?
A．It plans to cut $1 billion in costs by solely relying on its own technologies.
B．It will keep a record of the orders from its sales teams.
C．Only employees can use the video-conferencing technologies to pass on information.
D．Unlike other technology companies, its financial reports are encouraging.
【2】What is important during unstable time if a company wants to change its strategies?
A．Issuing its financial reports faster.
B．Predicting what is going to happen in the future.
C．Obtaining up-to-data information of its business.
D．Waiting until the economic fog finally lifts.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A．Employees who are willing to share their goals can do the job well.
B．Unilever is unwilling to forecast its finances due to its poor performance.
C．Those who refuse to update will be eliminated from their companies.
D．Economic prospects play a key role in investment decisions.
【4】What we can know about the chip maker Intel from the passage?
A．Intel's profits had greatly decreased in the last quarter of 2019.
B．Intel chain stores used to report sales estimates by the year.
C．Only retailers and chip makers have been affected by the economic downturn.
D．It did not issue a first-quarter forecast because of its big decrease in profit in January.
