If you are in charge of a project , the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you . As a director , I suggest , I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go .
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common , Jackie Gleason’s character , Max Basner , gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman . The scene , shot on a boat , shows Max’s hopelessness about being out of work . I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings .
Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did , and at first I was frightened . What could I possibly tell “ The Great One ” about acting ? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion , and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene . “ So Max is sad , right ? ” I said .
Gleason nodded .
“ And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them --- the ones he used to hand out to his customers , right ? ”
Gleason nodded .
“ So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired ? ”
He was silent for a moment . “ Why don’t I throw them overboard ? ”
I stood up and turned toward the crew . “ Hey , everybody , Jackie has a wonderful idea . Let’s shoot it . ”
After filming the scene , Gleason called me over and said with a smile , “ Garry , what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow ? ”
You and your team can discover the answers to problems together . When there are no prizes or gold stars for those who get the solution first , you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right .

When I opened my e-mail the other day , a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen . She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm . Every now and them she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss . She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother . It was pretty cool .
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail . Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown . The software , which is free , can be downloaded at www.facemail.com . Facemail faces are lifelike , and they simulate（模仿）emotions based on emotions that you put in your text . Type in : --- X , and Rachel blows a kiss .
Life FX , the company that develops the Facemail , is sure there are broad business uses . The reason why e-business is not popular , the company says , is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch . But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name , waited on you and personally closed the sale ? And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge . Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school , she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat .
Facemail could get hot fast . Personally , I’m a fan . Facemail is lively and funny at first , but it you select the clown , put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions , you’ve got a crazy mail .
60. The main advantage of Facemail is that _____ .
A. you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you

For twenty or thirty years Ernest Faber had owned cars of different sorts , and had driven them regularly , not only in England , but also in many countries of Europe and the Middle East . He was glad to think that he was an experienced driver , because he heard frequent complaints about the difficulties of passing the driving tests in these modern days . He was told that people tried unsuccessfully to pass the test five , seven , or even thirteen times . He heard of one man who failed the test , did no driving at all for a month , and then passed the next test without difficulty . One woman said that she failed several times in one part of the country . And so she went to another town and immediately passed . Faber was not sure whether to believe such stories or not . But he began to think that the results of the tests were frequently unreasonable .
Although it did not affect him in the least , Faber grew angry about all this . He decided to take the test himself . He was an excellent driver ; and if he failed , that would prove that his doubts about the examiners were correct . And then he would write to the newspapers to tell everyone what happened .
About two months later the following letter appeared in one of the leading papers of England :
“ Dear sir ,
During the last twenty-seven years I have driven cars thousands of miles in thirteen different countries in all sorts of weather , and have never had an accident . I have never damaged anything belonging to anybody , and I have never seen the inside of a court of justice . I can take a motor-car engine to pieces and put it together again , and I have given driving lessons to men and women who have later passed the test . No policeman has ever said a sharp word to me . I am not a stupid person , and I have two university degrees .
For some time , I have felt doubtful about the driving test held in this country , because their results often seem unreasonable . I therefore decided that the time had come to test the examiners themselves . If anyone can drive a car , I can . I therefore paid the pound and sent my application in . It is unnecessary to tell you that I did not mention my great experience , my unusual ability as a driver , or my wide and exact knowledge of cars .
The day of the test came .
I very much regret to inform you that I passed .
Yours Faithfully ,
Ernest Faber ”
68. Faber’s driving experience made him _____ .
A. surprised B. satisfied C. destroyed D. troubled
69. It was said that driving tests in different parts of the country were _____ .
A. not equally difficult
B. getting more and more difficult
C. intended to discourage women from driving
D. intended to discourage people from owning cars
70. When Faber decided to take the lest , _____ .
A. he knew that he could do it free of charge
B. he expected to get a driver’s license
C. he wondered if he was an excellent driver
D. he thought even he himself might fail the test
71. The letter tells us that the driving test is _____ .
A. difficult B. unfair C. reasonable D. unbelievable

My new home was a long way from the center of London but it was becoming essential to find a job , so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the tube . They were looking for guards , not drivers . This suited me . I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations . The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors . T. S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company . I would be a tube guard . I could see myself being cheerful , useful , a good man in a crisis . Obviously , I would be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges（特权）--- those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city center .
The next day I sat down , with almost a hundred other candidates , for the intelligence test , I must have done all right because after half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test . This time there were only about fifty candidates . The examiner sat behind a desk . You were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed , after a greater or shorter time . Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones . Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes . Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half .
I can remember the questions now : “ Why did you leave your last job ? ” “ Why did you leave your job before that ? ” “ And the one before that ? ” I can’t recall my answers , except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter . His closing statement , I thought , revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist , he had risen no higher than the underground railway . “ You have failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position . ”
Failing to get that job was my low point . Or so I thought , believing that the work was easy . Actually , such jobs --- being a postman is another one I still desire --- demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified go give . But I was still far short of full self-understanding . I was also short of cash .
72. The writer applied for the job because _____ .
A. he could no longer afford to live without one
B. he wanted to work in the center of London
C. he had received suitable training
D. he was not interested in any other available job
73. The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _____ .
A. he had written many poems
B. he often traveled underground
C. he had worked in an insurance company
D. he could deal with difficult situations
74. The length of his interview meant that _____ .
A. he had not done well in the intelligence test
B. he was not going to be offered the job
C. he had little work experience to talk about
D. he didn’t like the examiner
75. What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then ?
A. How difficult it can be to get a job
B. How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be
C. How badly he did in the interview
D. How unsuitable he was for the job
