leaders
don’t
work
alone.

leader who has respect for other people at all levels of an organization, for the work they do, and for their abilities, desires
and needs, will find that respect is ___40___. And all concerned will be motivated to work together.
III. Reading Comprehension





Section A
A Study of Point of View and Argument
Everyday life is an interaction of view. Sometimes these interactions pass by virtually___41___ , like when you find
yourself forced to by the newest cell phone but suddenly stop and ask yourself, “

o I even need this thing?”
and then
realize
that
the
latest
ad
campaign
has
____42____you
of
something
without
you
really
knowing
it.
Sometimes
these
interactions with others are obvious and deeply felt, like when an emotional argument____43____over why your father
won’t quit smoking even though his health is____
44____ ---you only see your desire for him to be OK, he only sees his
independence.

there
are
those
times

those
sorts

texts and in their lives o help them be strong and ____49___consumers of ideas and reflective, caring members of society.
One large, multi-year study suggested that many students graduated without being able to distinguish____50____ from
the
influence
of
carefully
designed
opinions
and
public
relations.
We
believe
educators
can
help
____51____
this.

want our students to be able to recognize the points of view and arguments in texts and in life----to see when they are
happening and to ____52____engage them. We want our students to listen to those points of view and argument with an
open mind ---to truly listen to what other people believe and respectfully ____53____or question what they are saying. we
also want our students to live with the confidence of ____54____themselves to make sound____55____, to make sense of

that
after-work
cigarette

enjoy
smoking at-least if you intend to have a job and health rule of the workplace are changing and personal
behavior and lifestyle habits -those unrelated to what you do at work are -now fair game for employers determined to cut
health-care costs.



If
you
smoke
,you
may
not
get
hired
and
you
could
get
fired,If
you
cholesterol

number of companies are encroaching on privacy and raising questions about who will qualify for health insurance ,as
well as employment.



The Cleveland Clinic on Sept.I started nicotine testing in pre-employment physicals .If nicotine is found ,applicants
will not be hired.
We -yco Inc,a company based in Lansing,Michigan,drew national attention in 2005 when it fired four employees who
used tobacco .We-yco performs random testing every 3 months ,usually of about 30 employees .Workers are required to
blow into a Breathalyzer-link device that measures carbon monoxide levels .If the reading is high ,employees are required
to take a urine they fail the urinalysis twice ,they will be dismissed.
Although thousands of employees have put in place inspiration for their workers to live healthier lifestyles,the vast
majority
of
employers
have
not
yet
adopted
the
approach
of
punishing
employees
who
do
not
satisfy
medical
or
behavioral punitive measures are gaining a foothold in the workplace,according to lawyer and groups
that follow insurance and employment trends, because health-care costs are double-digit rates annually.
Gray Climes ,vice president of Meritain Health Michigan ,which now owns We-yco, noted that firings did not violate
Michigan law and that 150 employees at the Okemos-based company have ,over time ,accepted the rules . It really comes
down

to
a
personal
choice
as
far
as
you
want
to
be
employed
here.”Climes
said .Climes
said
that
since
2005,when
we-yco made the wellness policy that includes that the smoking ban ,health insurance costs have increased by 2 percent a
year,well below the national average.

( B )
Portuguese
and
Spanish
explorers
made
the
first
European
voyage
into
unknown
waters.
Curiosity,
religion
and
economic
goals
drove
these
courageous
men
forward.
Their
voyages
resulted
in
great
advances
for
the
sponsoring
governments and served as the foundation for future empires.




One
man
largely
responsible
for
Portugal’s
interest
in
exploration
was
a
member
of
the
Portuguese
royal
family
named Prince Henry. Also kn
own as “The Navigator”, Prince Henry’s primary goal was to find gold for Portugal. The
Portuguese also hoped to find a way to the rich spice trade of the Indies and to spread the Christian faith.




Henry gathered many Europe’s best geographers and naviga
tors to plan expeditions. By about 1420 or earlier, his
navigators were exploring
westward into the Atlantic , and by the 1430s, they were moving southward along the west
coast of Africa . Henry’s explorers claimed the Azores for Portugal . In Africa, they
began to trade for slaves , gold and
ivory .
