A
A young man went to the boss of a logging crew (伐木队) and asked for a job.
“That depends,” replied the boss. “Let’s see you fell this tree.”
The young man stepped forward and skillfully felled a big tree.
The boss was amazed and said, “You can start the job on Monday.”
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday went by, and Thursday afternoon the boss went to the young man and said,
“You can get the pay on your way out today.”
The young man was very surprised. He replied, “I thought you would pay on Friday. ”
“Usually we do,” the boss said. “But we’re letting you go today because you’ve fallen behind. Our daily
felling reports show that you’ve dropped from first place on Monday to last place today.”
,
“But I’m quite hardworking ” the young man argued, “I am the first to arrive, and the last to leave, and even
work during my coffee breaks!”
The boss thought for a minute and then asked, “Have you sharpened your axe (斧子)?” The young man
replied, “No, sir, I’ve been working too hard to take time for that!”
Our lives are like this. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to “sharpen the axe”.
There’s nothing wrong with working hard. But we all need time to relax, to think, to learn and grow. If we
don’t take time to relax, we will feel bored and lose our effectiveness.

A. He answered the boss’ questions. B. He showed his ability to fell a tree.
C. He gave the boss a sharp axe. D. He made a promise to work hard.
27. The young man got paid a day early because ________.

Men won the Nobel Prizes in science most of the time in the past. But this year, women became the main
characters!
Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Chapentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
It’s the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man. At the same time,
US astronomer Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics, which she shared with two
other scientists. Its first female winner was Marie Curie in 1903.
Doudna and Charpentier got the prize because they developed CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors, a technology
that can rewrite DNA in the cells of plants, animals and micro-organisms. It has had a “great effect on the life
sciences,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For example, it can help us develop crops that can
fight against some natural disasters. It could also help treat some serious diseases in the future.
On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women to win the Chemistry Prize, Charpentier said that she
hopes girls and young female scientists will understand that “nothing is impossible and women can find great
discoveries just as men do.”
Ghez, who was awarded for her research on black hole, had the same feeling. “I’m happy to be part of the
change where more women succeed. I think that’s an important way in which we encourage the other girls and
women scientists,” Ghez said. In addition to her research, she was also one of the authors of the 2006 children’s
book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.
29. A pair of women won this year’s Nobel Prize in ________.
A. Chemistry B. Astronomy C. Physics D. Medicine
30. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. How they did their research.
B. Why they were given the prize.
C. What they found in their research.
D. How winning the prize has made a difference in their lives.
31. What does Ghez think about winning a Nobel Prize?
A. It will change her life in a big way.
B. It proves that nothing is impossible.
C. It shows that women are more successful than men.
D. It can encourage the other girls and women scientists.
32. What do we know from the story?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司需要更多资料，请加【微信1】 ：educat51 【微信2】 ：studying100
A. There were seven female Nobel Prize winners in total.
B. Ghez shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with at least one man.
C. More women are working as chemists than astronomers.
D. Ghez will write a children’s book about winning the prize.
C
The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the
products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone’s mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand names are protected by law. This is so that other companies
cannot make a product that looks like another. People might think that they are buying one product and, in fact,
more than 1, 000 products and company names are registered（注册）ever hour. Many companies spend a lot of
money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful
names for cars have powerful associations（联系）. The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of
choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U.S. company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product’s
name translates properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted
a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first
brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word which sounds similar and translates as
“happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung
and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign
markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that specialize
in inventing product names. These companies can charge up to 100,000 a word for their creations. But it’s worth it.
Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their growth.
.
33 Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?
A. To make companies pay for naming service.
B. To help people choose the best products.
C. To present good images of the products.
D. To prevent good images from being copied.
34. What was NOT considered when Coca-Cola tried to find a name in Chinese for its product?
A. The name should sound powerful.
B. The name should have similar pronunciation to “Coke”.
C. The name should be able to pass on the image of the product.
D. The name took lots of efforts to find.
