12、gly the answer seems to be no. Chris Ward, author of the book Out of Office explains how President Barack Obamas first inauguration (就職) speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks (星巴克); how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michae

13、l Acton Smith invented the childrens virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caff Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a caf is the best place to write. It is a convincing view, and for basic start-ups it makes much more sense to work from home and public spaces suc

14、h as cafs than renting an expensive office. Offices are hard to find, costly to decorate and involve much tiring administration. Moreover, by staying independent you avoid the misery（痛苦） of a daily commute(往返上下班), which for many is the worst part of a job. Thanks to mobile communications, WiFi and c

15、loud storage, together with the increasing heavy-duty equipment such as photocopiers, fax machines and desktop PCs, the traditional office is becoming redundant(多余的) for many sorts of organizations and workers. Of course, factory managers, surgeons, chefs and industrial chemists are still tied to sp

16、ecial locations. But many of us from software engineers and copywriters to architects and fashion designers can operate almost anywhere. That freedom, and a willingness to adapt, can make ones career more enjoyable and, sometimes, more efficient. 21. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us_. A.

17、 Obama didnt write his inauguration speech by himselfB. People dont have to work in an officeC. A caf is the best place to writeD. Many writers like to write in a coffee shop22.

19、 longer exist.C. Working in public places will reduce efficiency.D. Chefs can work anywhere. BThe ruins of Moore, Oklahoma, a town destructed for the fourth time in 14 years by a major tornado（龍卷風）, are a reminder that current building codes(規(guī)范) cant do much to prevent property destruction and loss

20、of life, especially when a powerful tornado cuts through town. But the total death number can be reduced when people take shelter in underground storm bunkers（碉堡）and hardened safe rooms.The tornado that carved a path of destruction through Moore took 24 lives. Its winds were clocked at 400 kilometer

21、s per hour. With only 15 minutes warning, residents fled town or took refuge（避難）in the firmest corners of their homes. The luckiest were able to climb into shelters or move to safe rooms. In Moore those rooms saved lives. But at two schools destroyed by Mondays tornado, no such shelter was available

22、. Leslie Chapman Henderson is CEO of a non-profit group called the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes. Shes an advocate for tornado safe rooms. “The safe room is an interior（內部）room of the home that has been reinforced（加固）and tested to withstand high wind. In fact, weve already heard of stories of surv

23、ival of people who were in safe rooms, either above or below ground,” she said. Better storm forecasts give people more time to react. But they need someplace safe to go. Buildings can be built to resist strong winds, but not like those in the F-5 tornado that touched down in Moore. Chapman Henderso

24、n says even the building codes that do exist are not widely adopted or enforced. As its residents prepare to rebuild, Moores mayor is pushing for an order to make safe rooms compulsory in all new construction. Similar proposals were made following each of the previous tornado strikes, but none were

25、adopted.25. According to Chapman Henderson, which of the following does she probably agree with? A. Building codes make a difference in preventing property destruction.B.

The Moores proposal might not be approved.27. The underlined word “withstand ” in paragraph 4 probably means_.A

27、. oppose B. resist C. prevent D. defeat CBlind tasting is a very strange activity. Contrary to what many imagine, it has nothing to do with blindfolds. It involves tasting a wine without seeing the label and it can deliver shocking surprises. I tasted seven champagnes(香檳) blind with a group of profe

28、ssionals recently. There was a shock when they discovered the wine most of them preferred carried a label they regarded as their least favorite. That sort of result is especially common with champagne, the most image-driven rather than quality-driven wine of all. But it happens all the time when win

29、e is tasted blind. Because Im interested in how wines really taste instead of how I think they should, I taste wine blind as often as I can, especially when assessing similar young wines. But blind tasting when you know absolutely nothing about the wine in front of you is something completely differ

30、ent. The most difficult Master of Wine exams include three sessions during which you have a dozen glasses in front of you and nothing more helpful than a printed exam paper asking you to identify (鑒定) each wine as closely as possible, and assess its quality. Now that the MW is behind me, I taste win

31、e completely blind only very rarely, and never in public. So my blind tastings these days are round the dinner table with good friends and once a year when I act as a judge, with Hugh Johnson, in the Oxford v Cambridge wine-tasting competition. This is the most extraordinary match, always held befor

32、e the Boat Race but taken just as seriously nowadays. This years taste-off took place at the end of last month, as usual in the Oxford and Cambridge Club on Pall Mall in London. 28.

Remember the time, when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank- you._37_ So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That wa
