A long time ago, on neighboring farms lived two brothers. But disagreement arose between

them. It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart.

One morning, a man with a carpenter’s toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer(推土机) to dig the creek last week to upset me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence so I won’t see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I’ll try to do a wonderful job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother left and went downtown.

At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s jaw dropped open when he saw what the carpenter had done. To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! What a piece of work! He saw his younger brother ing up to him with the hands outstretching. “You are quite a man to build this bridge after all I have said and done to you! ” The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. When they turned to see the carpenter, he was lifting his toolbox on his shoulder, ready to leave. “No, wait! Stay a few days.

The English expect each other to observe the rules of queuing, feel highly offended(冒犯) when these rules are broken, but lack the confidence or social skills to express their annoyance in a straightforward manner. In other countries, this is not a problem: in America, where a queue-jumper has mitted a kind of rudeness rather than a sin(罪过), the response is a loud warning: the offender is simply told “Hey, you, get back in line!” or words to that effect. On the European continent, the reaction tends to be loud and argumentative; in some other parts of the world, queue-jumpers are likely to get away with the offense. Only rarely do the English actually speak up and tell the jumper to go to the back of the queue.

Queuing is almost a national pastime for the English, who automatically arrange themselves into orderly lines at bus stops, shop counters, ice-cream vans, entrances, exits and lifts.

In 1946, a Hungarian humorist described queuing as English “national passion”. “On the continent,” he said, “if people are waiting at a bus stop they walk around in a seemingly relaxed fashion. When the bus arrives they run towards it quickly… An Englishman, even if he is alone, forms an orderly queue of one.” In an update over thirty years later in 1977 he confirmed that this was still the case. After nearly another thirty years nothing much seems to have changed.

In many cases in Britain, queue-jumping is effectively prevented by non-verbal signals alone. When someone is considering jumping a queue, the queuers will start looking at him sideways, through narrowed, suspicious eyes. Then they move a bit closer to the person in front of them, just in case the jumper might try to insert himself in the gap. Frowns, glares and raised eyebrows—acpanied by heavy sighs, pointed coughs—are usually the worst that the person will suffer if he jumps a queue. Faced with all this the jumper will think better of it and retreat to the back of the queue.

28. According to paragraph 1, in England, queue-jumping is .

A. a mon practice in many public places

B. a serious social problem in modern times

C. warned and prevented by shouting and pushing.

D. tolerated though it is considered highly offensive.

29. By quoting the description of a Hungarian humorist, the author intends to show .

A. queuing is a kind of automatic behavior for Englishmen B. Englishmen are stubborn and too strict with themselves C. other Europeans are more open-minded than Englishman D. queuing is essential in keeping the public in order

30. According to the author, queue-jumping can usually be stopped .

A. by shouting and loud warning

B. with a confident and aggressive attitude C. by using body language that shows annoyance D. with signs of public rules

31. What is the author’s tone in writing this passage?

A. Indifferent. B. Humorous. C. Subjective. D. Objective.

As we all know, doctors are terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but being a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management(机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.

I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot — and my boss — so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, \to put the landing gear down now!%used it in the operating room ever since.

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”. 32. What does the author say about doctors in general?

A. They pretend to be good pilots. B. They are quick learners of CRM. C. They like flying by themselves. D. They are unwilling to take advice.

33. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when .

A. his boss landed the plane too late C. he saved the plane by speaking up

B. his boss operated on a patient D. he was in charge of a flying task

34. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means .

A. listening to what fellow doctors say

B. making a mistake that may cost lives C. following flying requirements

D. overreacting to different opinions

35. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this passage? A. The Making of a Good Pilot

B. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe C. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor
