The radio station has an annual tradition where listeners send in “wish letters,” and the hosts select a handful of wishes to broadcast. They’ve been making Christmas dreams come true for more than 20 years, but they have never received a letter quite like this. Last week, the hosts of Des Moines radio station Star 102.5 invited listener David Schmitz to their annual Christmas show, but the station didn’t tell Schmitz who had sent in the wish for his family. They read this letter to him on the air: “Hello, my name is Brenda Schmitz, when you receive this letter, I will have already lost my battle to cancer.” The letter was dated August 3, 2011. Brenda Schmitz passed away less than two months after she wrote it. But Brenda Schmitz had given this note to a friend, with instructions on when to mail it. The letter said: “I told her once my loving husband David had moved on in his life, and met someone to share his life with again, to mail this letter to all of you at the station.” David Schmitz recently met and fell in love with Jayne Abraham. He asked her to marry him this September. Brenda Schmitz had three wishes for the family she left behind, their four sons, as well as the new family David Schmitz was starting. She wrote, “I was hoping that one small act you all could do for me could change their lives forever, and they know I am with them always.” The first wish was to David Schmitz’s new partner. The letter said: “An impressive weekend. Make her smile, and know her efforts are truly appreciated by me. Thank you, I love you whoever you are.” Her second wish was to David Schmitz and their children. She wrote, “For my family, a wonderful trip. Somewhere where they all can enjoy their companionship as a family and make memories that will be with them forever.” Lastly, Brenda Schmitz wanted to give a night of food and fun to the hospital staff that cared for her during her final days. It was a letter David Schmitz wasn’t expecting to receive, but one that didn’t surprise him either. He said, “She had great foresight(远见). But afterwards, quite touching.” And as a part of her final wishes, Brenda Schmitz left a separate letter to David Schmitz’s new wife. Jayne said, “The biggest thing was that at the end of the letter, she said, ‘I love you.’ And that was the hardest, most pleasant thing that I received.” Brenda Schmitz ended the letter with this: “May God bless and keep all of you safe there, thanks for this. When you wish upon a star, Brenda.” A number of local businesses tried to make her wishes come true. They raised money, and will be sending the family to Disney World. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. David was moved as well as shocked at the letter. B. The hospital staff had a good time for several days. C. Brenda’s children will have a trip to Disney World. D. Brenda had the letter mailed two months after her death. 45. What qualities best describe Brenda? A. Active and optimistic. B. Loving and selfless. C. Enthusiastic and generous. D. Brave and confident. B Every year, Fortune published its list of the Best Companies to Work For, which features the top U.S. companies to work for based on things like benefits, diversity, and pay after surveying employees and managers from thousands of companies around the world. Top Five Best Companies To Work For (2012) No 1: SAS Institute Headquarters: Cary, N.C., USA 2011 revenues: $2.7 billion 2011 rank: 2 Software company SAS climbed to the top of the global list this year, edging up from the No. 2 spot it held last year. So what makes this company so great to work for? Well, for one thing, its leaders are certainly accessible. CEO Jim Goodnight hosts monthly "Conversations Over Coffee," unscripted breakfast meetings that are open to all employees. Any topic is fair game. These conversations are so popular that other division heads have begun to hold similar events for their employees. SAS has an extremely low voluntary turnover rate of 2.6%, in part because of its positive working environment. "I haven't felt so intellectually alive in any other place I have worked," says one employee. No 2: Google Headquarters: Mountain View, Calif., USA 2011 revenues: $37.9 billion 2011 rank: 4 Google moved up by two spots in this year's ranking of global workplaces. The highly desirable tech behemoth receives 61 times as many applicants as they have existing jobs, and for good reason. Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) seems to be all about coaching. The company's "CareerGuru" program makes 43 of its senior leaders available for one-on-one, confidential career coaching sessions with other Googlers. "Gurus" are deployed in 14 offices across the world. Engineering employees at all levels can also get advice from “EngAdvisors," senior engineers at Google who can discuss any number of issues, like work-life balance, conflict resolution, and performance reviews. More than 900 engineers have used the program since it began in 2009. No 3: NetApp Headquarters: Sunnyvale, Calif., USA 2011 revenues: $5.1 billion 2011 rank: 3 All new employees at data storage provider NetApp (NTAP, Fortune 500) participate in the TOAST ("Training On All Special Things") orientation program, which introduces new arrivals to NetApp's senior management. The sessions are held every month and are always led by the executive team. Last year, NetApp held 20 TOAST sessions at five locations with a total of 3,000 employees. No 4: Kimberly-Clark Headquarters: Irving, Texas, USA 2011 revenues: $20.8 billion 2011 rank: 9 Kimberly-Clark Colombia put a major emphasis on making sure new hires feel welcome. All starting employees at the consumer product conglomerate are mailed a box that contains a welcome letter and a symbolic key to the company. A second letter provides all the basic information that the new hire will need for their first day at work. New employees also receive an email from a coworker who will guide them through the orientation process. No 5:Microsoft Headquarters: Redmond, Wash., USA 2011 revenues: $73.7 billion 2011 rank: 1 As part of Microsoft's commitment to promoting women in technology, the company established its DigiGirlz program in 2000. Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) hosts a series of DigiGirlz Day events where female high school students meet Microsoft employees and learn about careers in technology. In 2011, some 36 Microsoft locations across the world hosted more than 2,000 girls. Microsoft also holds DigiGirlz High Tech Camps, multi-day programs where participants get hands-on experience with technology during workshops and meet with tech executives 46.

Who would probably show most interest in reading the passage? A. Professors in a Finance Department. B. College graduates seeking for jobs. C. Political leaders in the government. D. Experts doing research into education. C It has been said that “Happiness is like a butterfly which, when run after, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may dance beside you.” Social scientists have caught the butterfly. After 40 years of research, they find happiness results from three major origins: genes(基因), events and values. Armed with this knowledge and a few simple rules, we can improve our lives and the lives of those around us. We can even construct a system that carries out our founders’ promises and gives Americans the power to seek happiness. Scientists have studied happiness fo
