Recently, I was told that managing is mostly common sense．Though I agree with this    1    in general，it leads me to a few very    2    conclusions．
In the IT field，entry level jobs are technical．As an engineer's career    3   , they become much more technical，with more responsibilities，and hopefully higher pay．   4    ，some of these engineers are promoted to    5   ，which is very non-technical．As mentioned above, these management jobs are more common sense by mostly    6    and evaluating daily tasks．
The surprising reality is that most managers didn't go into the IT field to do management work. These managers were never properly    7    and maybe not even interested in playing such a role.   8  ，engineers have a tendency to be more unsociable, which perhaps will have a negative influence on the relationship between other staff and them．While this may be good for a(n)     9    , it can be very bad for a manager with staff   10     to them．As a result，engineers    11    to managers are more likely to be bad managers．
Therefore，from my point of view, young people who    12    want to become engineers really need to   13    if you'd like to be in management．The only  14   of being a manager over an engineer is the higher salary while the disadvantage is that managers will lose their   15   edge(优势)．

Seeing    20   buoy floating in the water，he decided to play a trick．Soon his crew broke the chain that held the buoy, let the bell go into the water and then sailed away．In the following weeks，they robbed many    21    ships around the seas and filled the ship with a great   22    （vary) of treasures．Unfortunately, when returning，they themselves had no idea how to get away from the terrible rock   23   the ring．The ship was moving swiftly in the dark    24    there was a great crash．  25   was the very rock and the ship began to sink．

阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、c和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。


A
It was Thanksgiving morning．1 was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang．I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step．
 “Any old papers，lady?”asked one of them．
I was busy．1 wanted to say“no”until I looked down at their feet．They were wearing thin little sandals (凉鞋)，wet with heavy snow．
 “Come in and I … I make you a cup of hot cocoa．”
They walked over and sat down at the table．Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor．I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside．Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking．
The silence in the front room struck me．I looked in．The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it．The boy asked in a flat voice．“Lady, are you rich? ”
“Am I rich? Pity, not!”
I looked at my worn—out slipcovers (椅套)．The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟) carefully and said，“Your cups match your saucers．”They left after that，holding their papers against the wind．They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful．
