26、Born in 1954, Oprah Winfrey is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show as the most influential woman in the world. It's no surprise that her recognition can bring overnight sales fortune that defeats most, if not all, marketing campaigns. The star features about 20 products each year on her "Favorite Things" show. There's even a term for it: the Oprah Effect.
Her television career began unexpectedly. When she was 16 years old, she had the idea of being a journalist to tell other people's stories in a way that made a difference in their lives and the world. She was on television by the time she was 19 years old. And in 1986 she started her own television show with a continuous determination to succeed at first.
TIME magazine wrote, "People would have doubted Oprah Winfrey's swift rise to host of the most popular talk show on TV. In a field dominated by white males, she is a black female of big size. As interviewers go, she is no match for Phil Donahue. What she lacks in journalistic toughness, she makes up for in plainspoken curiosity, rich humor and, above all understanding. Guests with sad stories to tell tend to bring out a tear in Oprah's eye. They, in turn, often find themselves exposing things they would not imagine telling anyone, much less a national TV audience."
"I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point you are likely to fall if you' re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you' re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages, you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction" as Oprah addressed graduates at Harvard on May 30.
【1】What does the Oprah Effect refer to in the first paragraph?
A.the influence on talk show hosts
B.the power of Oprah's opinions.
C.the effect on a business.
D.the audience of Oprah's talk show.
【2】What can be inferred about Oprah's television career?
A.She must have been challenged a lot
B.She gained fame as planned.
C.It lives up to her parents' expectation.
D.She once gave up on her choice.
【3】What message did Oprah give to Harvard graduates?
A.Success comes after failure.
B.Pushing physical limits makes no sense
C.Aiming higher hurts
D.Failure is part of life.
【4】Which of the following best describes Oprah Winfrey?
A.Friendly.
B.Humorous
C.Determined.
D.Patient
27、It has been more than 50 years since Harvard Business School started admitting women, yet the institution (机构) is still trying hard to find out how to best attract and support them. Its latest effort: a program targeting women’s colleges—place that are not traditional feeding grounds for the male-majority business school.
The program is called Peek. It offers juniors, seniors and recent graduates from women’s colleges the opportunity to read and discuss four HBS case studies in class specially taught by top HBS members. About 50 to 70 promising students will pay $500 for their stay there.
Women make up 41 percent of Harvard Business School class of 2016—the most the school has had. In 1985, women made up only one-quarter of the graduating class. Harvard is not alone when it comes to struggling with a gender gap (性别差别). At Wharton, the class of 2016 is 40 percent women; at Standford Business School, it’s 42 percent. No top business school had gotten to 50 percent yet.
Despite the Peek program’s good intention, the $500 fee bothered someone, said John A. Byrne, the editor of business school new site. “The fact that HBS would charge women for the chance of coming to campus rubbed a lot of people the wrong way,” said Byrne. HBS said the $500 fee was a “fair price” for room and daily meals at the business school for a weekend, and didn’t actually cover the full costs of the program.
For years, women students at Harvard Business School failed to keep pace with men. In 2010, Harvard business School got a new manager, Nitin Nohrin, who promised a turnaround. Nohrin designed a program to encourage women students and professors. He promised to change the school’s case studies so that at least 20 percent of the people in the business texts would be women.
【1】What can we learn about the program Peek?
A. It is free for new students.
B. It offers all kinds of business classes.
C. It is helped by the best teachers.
D. It is intended for high school students.
【2】What is the main idea of the Paragraph 3?
A. Women are not good at business management.
B. Women are less interested in business school.
C. Women students are less talented than men students.
D. Women students are becoming fewer and fewer in college.
【3】In the eyes of Byrne, Harvard’s program ________.
A. will be a total failure
B. will waste lots of money
C. doesn’t have many good intention
D. will shut some students out
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. HBS’s new plan to attract more women students.
B. HBS’s new manager Nitin Nohrin.
C. HBS’s effort to attract talented students.
D. HBS, the best business school ever world-wide.
28、Some Strategies for an Effective To-Do List
One of the age-old productivity techniques is an effective to do list. It’s powerful for everyone to get things done. But my argument is that maybe you aren’t making an effective to-do list. 【1】 If you’re not certain, don’t be afraid to experiment several combinations.
● Break the list into two parts. The first strategy is to break a list into two parts. These two parts are called dailies and to-do’s. Dailies are the everyday tasks that you want to develop more, such as a 15-minute workout routine. 【2】 Maybe you need to prepare a report at work. You can put that into your to-do column.
● 【3】 If you find breaking your list into two parts too much, you can set a limit to the number of items. Some people have no more than seven while others go as low as three. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
● Make your list easy to spot. From colorful paper to posting it in an obvious place, you want your list to be spotted easily. Mind you, you don’t need to have this list in front of you all the time as it could create unnecessary stress. 【4】 A glance to the side and you know exactly what needs to get done.
● Add gaming elements to it. If pen and paper isn’t your thing when making to-do lists, several to-do list apps can guide you along as well. 【5】 Besides, some of the developers add games to them, where you’ll feel a sense of achievement as you complete tasks.
So get started with your to-do lists today.
A.Put a limit on items.
B.Create a “done” list.
C.But setting it to one side is a nice idea.
D.Pick from the strategies below to find what suits you.
E.The beauty of them is that there is more room for creativity.
F.This allows you to ensure that you’re getting everything done the proper way. .
G.Your to-do’s are non-daily tasks that you need to be getting done at some point.
29、Arthur Miller (1915-2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, attracted like so many others by the “Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
Miller’s most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as symbol of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sympathy: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Yesterday, another student and I went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year international students. The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, close followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touching her shoulder and kissed her on her cheek! She stepped back was appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defend, I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then as Akira from Japan and George from Canada were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed but his nose touched George’s moved hand. They all apologized---another cultural mistake!
