de effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.

A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.

Under the supervision of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and to patients' needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses attend us to work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight hours in length. The nurses on the ward orate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts.

A nurse must always be careful. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically iii, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding job in the hospital.

Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.

The nursing staff ______.

A．are central to the medical staff

B．play an important role in caring for patients

D．are always in close contact with the patients

？Read the following article about CTO(Chief Technology Officer)and the questions．

？For each question(15-20)，mark one letter(A，B，C or D)on your Answer Sheet．

Of the many things a CTO(Chief Technology Officer)must do to be successful，the one that can never be neglected is simple：maintaining focus on helping your company produce revenue and profits．On a purely superficial level，this sounds like the job of the CEO or vice president of sales，but successful CTOs know that being closely involved in the revenue game is the key ingredient to the growth of your company and your career．

For some technology staff aspiring to the CTO position，there is a sense that getting too close to the money sullies the purity of the greater technology mission Of building elegant products and systems．This may be true in an academic environment，but in the corporate world，those elegant products and systems need to help produce a profit．The CTO works at the strategic intersection of technology and business，and the unique talents of the CTO mean that he or she can leverage technology for the good of the business like no one else on the executive team．

To drive revenue in a company，the CTO must work as 3 partner with the CEO and vice president of sales．Quite often，the tech leaders in an organization sit back and wait for executive managers to tell them what to do and then deliver requirements．A successful CTO realizes that the process of working through ideas for new products and services demands his or her participation from idea origination to final implementation．

While working as a partner with key executives at a company，the CTO should also keep in close contact with the sales staff members who are out talking to customers on a regular basis．Asking three simple questions of sales staff on a regular basis helps keep the CTO in the loop on the realities of external market conditions：1)What are our customers asking for today？2)What are customers looking for in the next 90 days？And 3)How do customers envision their needs developing in the next year to 18 months？These answers help the CTO with budgeting，strategic planning，and product development，and most importantly，helping to drive revenue and profitability over the short and long term．

Finally，as an externally facing executive，the CTO must always have time for existing and potential customers．This means accompanying your sales staff on sales calls and understanding the challenges that your customers face．The CTO can then use the feedback to help the company serve customers more effectively and drive revenue．That's what it's a11 about．

y the words they use. Thus, how often they make eye contact and how long they sustain that contact can indicate their degree of intimacy, interest in or understanding of what they are communicating verbally. Their posture- the way they sit or stand- can reveal attention ,interest, disagreement or boredom. The distance they sit or stand from one another and the angle at which they do also can suggest friendship, hostility or respect. These and other forms of nonverbal communication are so pervasive that we usually scarcely notice them. Their importance quickly becomes apparent, however, when for some reason they are lacking or unclear.

One occasion when most people notice the importance of nonverbal communication is when they are talking on the telephone. There is an unwritten rule of telephone conversations that the listener must supply frequent and regular confirmation that he or she is listening. This is done by saying Aha, Mmhm, Yes, I see, and so on. Failure to do this often enough may result in the speaker interrupting him or herself to ask if the other person is" still there". In face to face conversation, this is unnecessary, as attention and understanding are conveyed silently, chiefly by eye contact and posture.

Another situation where the importance of nonverbal communication becomes clear is during cross cultural communication. It is an instructive experience to travel in a foreign country whose culture is very different from one's own. Does one shake hands, bow, touch, point, wink, and se on, or are some or all of these behaviors considered rude？ How long can eye contact be maintained without indicating something more than polite interest？ How close does one stand before being disrespectful or too intimate, how far away before being thought cold or hostile？ Features like these can sometimes be more important in a second language than grammatical accuracy or a good accent.

You can use several ways to communicate with others except ______.

A．using language

B．making eye contact

C．by the posture

D．using ear contact

听力原文： Many African mothers carry babies on their back. In this way, a working mother knows that her baby is safe on her back while her hands are free for her work. On the other hand, the baby stays in close contact with his mother and feels safe and warm. However, back-nesting is not suitable in summer. Besides, (29) back-nesting does not give babies freedom and chance to use their hands and legs. Children need to observe and explore the environment. What's more, this sense of security given by back-nesting may be suddenly broken when the child can no longer be carried. He may be put down and expected to behave like a grown-up child. (30) But he has been over protected for so long that now he feels very insecure and many behave like a baby. Once I visited a friend's home, where the mother was carrying her eleven-month-old son on her back. I found the mother had nothing special to do with her hands and the baby was restless. I asked her to put the baby down. At first, (31 ) she didn't want to because she firmly believed that if she carried the baby on her back, he could sleep longer, keep quieter and make less mess. I tried my best to persuade her and finally she gave in. Immediately the child began examining the toy drum before him. He looked much live her and happier.

(30)

A．It is not safe for the children.

B．The children can not communicate with mothers face to face.

C．The mothers may feel very tired.

D．The children have no chance to use hands and legs.

o note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientist, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.

Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying. “Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才) “ (which was never true-we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come close to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus had doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media-not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
