A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a guest would be travelling with her deaf father.This note helped us in preparing for their arrival.As they would be here for a number of days,his daughter wanted to make his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.

Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in,I decided to learn some very basic sign language.I greeted the guest in my usual fashion,asking for the surname on the booking.Once I heard the name,I immediately realized who was standing in front of me.

I had been learning for two weeks how to say:“Welcome to Ireland.My sign language is terrible,but please,if you need anything during your stay,just let me know and we will help you.”

Sadly,I wasn’t working the day they checked out,but they left a gift for me,a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL.Inside was a note saying:“Thank you very much for what you did.My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and

insisted we get you a gift before we left.You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me,and we can’t thank you enough.You've made his trip very special with one simple gesture.”

Valentine's Day is supposed to be about love and romance.But unfortunately,it can be just the opposite.Because of that,Feb.15th starts the busy season for divorce lawyers,as people who were unhappy with their marriages heading into the day often decide that they no longer want to be with the one they used to love.

A study of divorce filings(登记)in New York,Illinois and California by AttorneyFee. com,a legal referral(推荐)site,found that February is the busiest month of the year for

divorce filings,up about18%from the average month.And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site increase38%following the holiday,with the biggest rise on the day after Valentine’s.

Another legal site,https://www.360docs.net/doc/50224970.html,,reports a40%increase in those seeking information and advice about divorce in the period right after Valentine’s Day.

“There's a very large number of people who are considering the divorce all the time, deciding whether or not to file,"said Richard Komaiko,a co-founder of AttorneyFee.“On Valentine’s Day,this thing is carefully considered.”

Komaiko said February has factors other than the holiday that could lead to an increase in divorces.January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy(破产)filings,highlighting the financial problems that often divide couples.In addition,the cold weather of February can keep couples that are having trouble indoors and closer to each other,adding to problems.

But Alton Abramowitz,president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, believes the holiday itself often worsen the relationship for couples who are having trouble. "There’s always the clients who come in a day or two after saying‘I can’t believe it.I made this beautiful dinner for my husband for Valentine’s Day,but he called to say he was stuck in the office and then didn't come home at all.’"Abramowitz said,“the day can create problems that lead to them finally getting caught."

C.Couples having troubles tend to break up after Valentine's Day.

Some bosses may prefer to manage with an iron fist,but a new study suggests that humble bosses are actually more effective.

Researchers at the State University of New York surveyed16CEOs,20mid-level leaders and19front-line leaders to determine whether or not humility played an active role in a manager’s effectiveness.

According to the study’s findings,people at all levels said that admitting mistakes and highlighting employees’strengths led to bosses being more liked and eventually more successful in the workplace.

“Leaders who can overcome their fears and broadcast their feelings as they work will be viewed more favorably by employees,”Bradley Owens,assistant professor of organization and human resources at the university,said in a press release.“They also have better-performing organizations.”

The study did find,however,that not all humble leaders are created equal.Researchers said that while humility was unquestionably beneficial to male employers,female employers had to walk a fine line,because being humble could result in their competence being called into question.“Our results suggest that female leaders often experience a dilemma,”Owen says.“They are expected to be strong leaders and humble females at the same time.”

The study isn’t the first to suggest that the iron-fist management isn’t the way to go.Several interviews with human resource consultants conducted by the AP in October found that taking time to talk with your staff and listen to their concerns will go a long way to helping you keep them.

A follow-up study by the university using data from more than700employees and218 leaders confirmed the original study’s results and was released in Organization Science early in 2019.

32.What can we learn from the study at the State University of New York?

A.Female employers are more humble than male ones.

B.This is the first study to mention iron-fist management.

C.Male employers can certainly benefit from humility.

D.Leaders of all levels know how to admit their mistakes.

33.Which of the following may Bradley Owen believe?

A.hiding their feelings will be helpful to employers’management.

B.humble leaders are more likely to have better-performing teams.

C.employees prefer to work with leaders of great determination.

D.humble leaders are aware of the need to avoid making mistakes.

34.What does the underlined part“walk a fine line”in the Paragraph5mean?

A.Be in a better position.

B.Handle humanity with care.

C.Behave elegantly.

D.Take advantage of humanity.

35.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Approaches to Becoming a Successful Leader

B.The Differences Between Male and Female Leaders

C.Being Humble Makes for Better Management

D.Iron-fist Management Should Be Forbidden

第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有两个选项为多余选项)。

Today’s students are surrounded by information.The ability to figure out exactly why authors write—and not accept every opinion as fact—is a key skill.36.________The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.

Start with why.“Why did the author write this piece?”is the key question asked to identify author’s purpose.To help students expand their understanding of“why,”keep a running Author's Purpose board with a list of the various reasons that authors write.37. _______

Talk about structure.Authors use different structures for different purposes.For example, one author may use time order to explain an event,while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context.

38._______Often when authors write,they’re trying to get readers to feel a certain way. Perhaps the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales.Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation.After students read a text,stop and ask:How do you feel?And how did the author get you to feel this way?

Connect it to students’own writing.Writing and reading go hand in hand.39._______ When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about,to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory,they’ll become more conscious of how authors approach writing.

Observe how purpose changes within a text.Author’s purpose is often studied through the text as a whole,but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well.40._______ Then,they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation.And finally,they may conclude with an appeal.Take a short article and break it apart, identifying the different purposes so that students see how author’s purpose changes as they

read.

A.Get to the heart.

B.Identify the topic.

C.The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.

D.For example,they may include a funny anecdote(轶事)to draw the readers in.

E.In particular,they'll need to figure out author’s purpose and draw their own conclusions.

F.Expand students'awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.

G.Or post various types of nonfiction and have students quickly identify a purpose for each.
