Dad had a green comb. He bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would hand me

his

26

and say, “Good girl, help Daddy clean it, OK?”

I was

27

to do it. At age five, this dull task brought me such

28

. I would excitedly

turn

the

tap

29

and

brush

the

comb

carefully.

Satisfied

that

I’d

done

a

good

job,

I

would

happily return the comb to Dad. He would

30

affectionately at me and place the comb on his

wallet.

Two years later, Dad started his own

31

, which wasn’t doing so well. That was when

things started to

32

. Dad didn’t come home as early and as much as he used to. Mum and I

became

33

with

him

for

placing

our

family

in

trouble.

With

34

,

an

uncomfortable

silence grew between us.

After my graduation, Dad’s business was getting back on track. On my 28th birthday, Dad

came home

35

. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave,

he said, “Hey, would you

help me

36

my comb?” I looked at him a while, then

37

the

comb and headed to the sink.

It hit me then: why, as a child,

38

Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. That routine

(

习惯

) meant Dad was home early to

39

the evening with Mum and me. It

40

a happy

and loving family.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He smiled at me and

41

placed his comb on his

wallet. But this time, I noticed something

42

. Dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes

when he smiled,

43

his smile was still as

44

as before, the smile of a father who just

wanted a good

45

for his family.

The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It

can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.

the

influences

of

salary

growth

and

promotion

Journal

of

Armchair Psychology, vol.113, no.1, pp.56-64.

·

In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job

performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through

organizational

surveys

of

blue-chip

companies

in

Vancouver,

Canada

to

try

to

identify

the

main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research

focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational

reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for

employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance.

The

main

limitation

of

the

article

is

that

the

survey

sample

was

restricted

to

mid-level

management,

thus

the

authors

indicate

that

further,

more

extensive

research

needs

to

be

undertaken

to

develop

a

more

in-depth

understanding

of

employee

turnover

and

job

performance.

As

this

article

was

published

in

a

professional

journal,

the

findings

can

be

considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.

56. The research paper published is primarily concerned with

.

A. the way of preventing employee turnover

B. methods of improving employee performance

C. factors affecting employee turnover and performance

D. pay structures based on employee performance

57. As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that

.

A. the data analysis is hardly reliable

B. the research sample is not wide enough

C. the findings are of no practical value

D. the research method is out-of-date

58. Who might be most interested in this piece of information?

A. Job hunters.

B. Employees in blue-chip companies.

C. Mid-level managers.

D. Researchers on employee turnover.

—

a

After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of

sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.

Now scientists believe that

this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw

billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the

telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London.
