W: So you were in the hospital for 4 days?
M: Yes, from Saturday until today.
W: Generally for this kind of case, we can postpone the exam or the due day of a paper by the number of days the student has been iii, in your case, by 4 days.
M: That means I'll be able to hand in my paper next Tuesday instead of this Friday.

Einstein could not afford to pay for the advanced education he needed, because his family business had declined. Later, he and his family were forced to leave Munich to live in Milan, Italy, where they had relatives. As for him, the family did manage to send him to a technical school in Switzerland, and later to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. In 1901, when Einstein was 22 years old, he began teaching, and in 1902, be went to work as a patent office examiner in Bern. Now able to pay his own expenses, he continued his schooling at the University of Zurich, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. This was the period when he first began the research, which led to his famous theory of relativity.
Toward the end of his life, when Einstein was asked to explain his law of relativity to a group of young students, he said, "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it's only a minute. But when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity."
What is Einstein's greatest contribution to human beings?
A.His teaching.
B.His theory of relativity.
C.His theory on advanced mathematics.
D.His research.

A granted patent is the result of a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates.
Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the life span of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.
The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the patent's normal life there was no color TV to re-ceive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.
Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even rem-patented. Indeed, patent experts often advise any other inventor's right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form. permanently invalidates further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.
Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most "new" ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity or dedication, or through the availability of new technology that makes news and money. The basic patent for the theory of magnetic recording dates back to 1886. Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century. Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent for a cart with the horse at the rear.
The passage is mainly about ______.
A.an approach to patents
B.the application for patents
C.the use of patents
D.the access to patents

听力原文: Born in 1879, in Ulm, Germany, Einstein was two years old when his parents moved to Munich. There his father opened a business in electrical supplies. As a boy, Einstein did not learn to talk until later than others of his age, and in his early childhood he was not considered especially bright. But by the time he was 14 years old, he had taught himself advanced mathematics from textbooks. By them he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be a physicist and &vote himself to research.

?Read the text below, about qualification of a business person.
?In most of the lines 34-45,there is one extra word. it is either grammatically incorrect or not fit in with
?the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.
?If a line is correct, write CORRECT on you Answer Sheet.
?If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word on your Answer Sheet.
Education or experience?
0 Recently there has been much debate done about what should qualify a person
00 for promotion in the business world. In the past, a new employee would
34 start by delivering the office mail. He would then work his way up the ladder,
35 gaining higher and more responsive positions, eventually leading to the management.
36 But with the rapid growth of getting business courses and qualifications there is
37 now another way many of people who aim for top management can miss out on the
38 'mail delivery' stages by studying for a period and gaining in one of the numerous
39 business qualifications now available.. There is some criticism of this accelerated
40 promotion. It is felt that it results in knowledge without also experience, and such
41 knowledge type is inevitably incomplete. On the other hand the growth in business
42 courses has led to much more highly skilled business practices. The answer seems
43 to be that both experience and qualifications have their value, but as it should not be forgotten
44 that experience is
45 a qualification in itself

There is one great difficulty which hinders all the higher types of human effort. In modern times this difficulty has even increased in its possibilities for evil. In any large organization the younger men, who are novices. must be set to jobs which consist in carrying out fixed duties in obedience to orders. No president of a large corporation meets his youngest employee at his office door with the offer of the most responsible job which the work of that corporation includes. The young men are set to work at a fixed routine, and only occasionally even see the president as he passes in and out of the building. Such work is a great discipline. It imparts knowledge, and it produces reliability of character; also it is the only work for which the young men, In that novice stage, are fit, and it is the work for which they are hired. There can be no criticism of the custom. but there may be an unfortunate effect: prolonged routine work dulls the imagination.
The way in which a university should function in the preparation for an intellectual career, is by promoting the imaginative consideration of the various general principles underlying that career. Its students thus pass tutu their period of technical apprenticeship with their imaginations already practiced in connecting details with general principles.
Thus the proper function of a university is the imaginative acquisition of knowledge. Apart from this importance of the imagination, there is no reason why businessmen, and other professional men, should not pick up their facts bit by hit as they want them for particular occasions. A university is imaginative or it is nothing—at least nothing useful.
What is a basic requirement for work in all professions according to the passage?
A.Imagination.
B.Reliability of character.
C.Discipline.
D.Obedience to orders,
