Passage Three

As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase. (83) Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.

Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. (84) The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties ’ desires and preferences.

Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve 20 obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.If one had to save products instead of money, __________.

Passage FourSometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government' s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied, strict teacher evaluations, and threats of school closures and job losses. They frighten the school employees, not to mention the students. Instead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas--which is what fear does to us--research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach. In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools, Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one's mind,to discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn' t working,to make collective decisions.Yet this kind of safety doesn' t come easily to schools. According to Bryk and Schneider, the adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity （正直). The challeage is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds.At one school where I taught, each teacher had different expectations about how much effort teachers should put into their work--a big difference between the teachers who left af~the last bell and those who worked into the evening. And when expectations are uncoasci or unspoken, it becomes impossible for others to live up to them.We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person' s behavior. As we all Imam,assumptions are often wrong. For example, parents and teachers my think the principal taml particular decision based on his career advancement rather than hat" s best for the studeata. don't feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and e~aecmtiatm, trust itiea am the window and our relationships suffer.50. What is meant by trust in school?

11.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find themgoing above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in theprocess.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditionalHerding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, GermanShepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescueduty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and areoften able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many differentfields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, thedog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" timeis also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is notfor the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to fourhours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) andthen follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsedbuildings and snow slide.What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??

13.Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见).Dr.Robert Alberti，author of Stand Up,Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence.“Our structure oforganization tends to make people distrust themselves.”says Alberti.“There’s alwaysa‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss-who‘knows better’.These‘superiors’often gain whenthey keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer“assertiveness training”courses-AT for short.In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves.They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.They learn to beaggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear.But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share.The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image.If someone you face is more“important”than you，you may feel less of a person.You start to doubt your own good sense.You go by the other person’ s label.But，why should you?AT says you can get to feel good about yourself.And once you do，you can learn to speak out.One of the objectives of AT courses is to____.
