Archan Chan recalls her first experience wrking in a Chinese restaurant mre than 14 years ag. Emplyed as an apprentice（学徒）chef, she was ne f just tw wmen in the kitchen—the ther's nly jb was t beat eggs.“She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess fr a wman t survive in a traditinal Chinese kitchen back then, yu had t be the best in smething,”she says. Tday, Chan leads the kitchen f H Lee Fk, ne f Hng Kng's mst ppular restaurants. After spending mre than a decade wrking in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapre, she is ne f a few female chefs wh have risen t the tp f a high-end Chinese restaurant. That's an impressive achievement, given hw unbelievably challenging it has been fr wmen t shw in high-end Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have lng been a minrity in prfessinal kitchens arund the wrld. But the situatin is even severer in Chinese kitchens. There's n denying the wrk is physically demanding —an empty pt weighs abut 2.2 kilgrams. In the past, few chefs wuld risk emplying a female trainee int that tugh envirnment.
Given all f these barriers, nt many wmen wuld even cnsider this male-dminated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs f a shift in mindset —the number f female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it's a kitchen almst full f men, all everyne cares abut is fd—the cking. They dn't care if yu're a male r female. Gender shuldn't matter,”Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be mre f a barrier t the increase f wmen in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds.“It isn't just abut hw much yu want it but hw much hard wrk yu're willing t put int it. There are days when yu feel like yur arms are falling apart and yu can't mve them anymre, but the next day, yu're strnger and may be able t wrk a heavier wrk.”

Nw let us lk at hw we read. When we read a printed text, ur eyes mve acrss a page in shrt, jerky mvement. We recgnize wrds usually when ur eyes are still when they fixate（固定）. Each time we fixate, we see a grup f wrds, this is knwn as the recgnitin span r the visual span. The length f time fr which the eyes stp—the duratin f the fixatin—varies cnsiderably frm persn t persn. It als varies within ne persn accrding t his purpse in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermre, it can be affected by such factrs as lighting
and tiredness.
Unfrtunately, in the past, many reading imprvement curses have cncentrated t much n hw ur eyes mve acrss the printed page. As a result f this misleading emphasis n the purely visual aspects f reading, numerus exercises have been devised t train the eyes t see mre wrds at ne fixatin. Fr instance, in sme exercises, wrds are flashed n t a screen fr, say, a tenth r a twentieth f a secnd. One f the exercises has required students t fix their eyes n sme central pint, taking in the wrds n either side. Such wrd patterns are ften cnstructed in the shape f rather steep pyramids s the reader takes in mre and mre wrds at a successive fixatin. All these exercises are very clever, but it is ne thing t imprve a persn's ability t see wrds and quite anther thing t imprve his ability t read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability t understand the relatinship between wrds. Cnsequently, fr these reasns, many experts have nw begun t questin the usefulness f eye training, especially since any apprach which trains a persn t read islated wrds and phrases wuld seem unlikely t help him in reading a cntinuus text.
63.The time f recgnitin span can be affected by the fllwing facts except .
A. lighting and tiredness B. ne's purpse in reading
C. the length f a grup f wrds D. ne's familiarity with the text
64.The authr may think that reading .
A. demands mre mind than eyes
B. demands a deeply-participating mind
C. requires a reader t see wrds mre quickly
D. requires a reader t take in mre wrds at each fixatin
65.What des the authr mean by saying“but it is ne thing t imprve a persn's ability t see wrds and quite anther thing t imprve his ability t read a text efficiently” in the secnd paragraph?
A. The ability t see wrds is nt needed when an efficient reading is cnducted.
B. The reading exercises mentined can't help t imprve ne's ability f efficient reading.
C. The reading exercises mentined have dne a great jb t imprve a persn's ability t see wrds.
D . The reading exercises mentined can't help t imprve bth ability t see and t cmprehend wrds.
66.Which f the fllwing is NOT true?
A. The emphasis n the purely visual aspects is misleading.
B. Many experts begun t questin the efficiency f eye training.
C. The visual span is a wrd r a grup f wrds we see each time.
D. The eye training will help readers in reading a cntinuus text.
Sectin C（8分）
Directins: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a prper sentence given in the bx. Each sentence can be used nly nce. Nte that there are tw mre sentences than yu need.
Tday, in mst f the theatres in Britain, the stages are situated behind a srt f arch（拱门）, called the prscenium（幕布前的舞台部分）arch. The arch runs acrss the building with the stage n ne side f it and the auditrium, husing the audience, n the ther. The audience is kept t the area frm which it can get a clear view f the stage. 67 The actr can ignre them until the end, when they applaud the perfrmance.
68 Stage furniture r prperties -----“prps”, as they are referred t in the business ----are nw as few as pssible. Elabrate scenery is used nly when it is ging t last thrughut the play, r when it is s cnstructed that it can be changed quickly. Mdern theatres are built with the stage extending far in frnt f the prscenium arch, if indeed they have a prscenium arch at all, electricity, already lng in use, has recently had a revlutinary effect.
The mdern idea f having the stage in frnt f the prscenium arch is nt really mdern, f curse. It makes ur stages much like Shakespeare's. 69 The famus speeches f Hamlet, fr instance, can be delivered mre quietly and naturally than they were in the last century. The actrs n lnger have t wrry much abut nt being heard, r abut turning their backs t the auditrium.
Mrever, nwadays, peple are finding that mdern theatres are built t sit in cmfrtably fr tw r three hurs at a stretch. 70 The result f these imprvements is that, in spite f the high price f seats, perhaps mre peple than ever befre are keen n theatre-ging.
IV.Summary（10分）
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
As the calendar flips t anther year, many emplyees will cnsider starting the new year n the hunt fr a new jb. In tday's changing wrkfrce, it is mre imprtant than ever fr cmpanies t realize that a salary alne is n lnger enugh t recruit r retain strng emplyees.
Accrding t a survey by Aflac, small businesses deserve a rund f applause fr their ability t keep emplyees happy. The reprt fund that 85 per cent f small-business emplyees are happy in their current jb, and mre than half (51 per cent) agree that mst f r all f their happiness in their current jb is a result f wrking fr a small business.
Nearly a quarter f participants (23 per cent) stated that the feeling f imprtance was the best part f wrking fr a small business. Small businesses have the unique ability t make emplyees feel appreciated, respected and valued n a persnal and prfessinal level.
In a small-business envirnment, there are typically fewer layers between emplyees and leadership. This tight-knit structure can cntribute t a family-like atmsphere, which in turn strengthens the emplyees' happiness.
Flexibility is als vital in creating emplyee happiness. Accrding t the reprt, 30 per cent f respndents nted that flexible scheduling was the best part f wrking fr a small business. A wrkplace that prmtes health y wrk-life balance can create happier, less stressed emplyees and can als increase prductivity.
Althugh small businesses excel at keeping emplyees happy, there is always rm fr imprvement. In fact, 65 per cent f small-business emplyees indicate that an imprvement in their benefits fferings wuld make them happier. By ffering a rbust benefits plan that includes vluntary benefits, small businesses can ensure that their emplyees are able t find the right benefits t meet their individual needs.
