3. Employees are not allowed (make) ______ personal phone calls in the office.
to make
[解析] 考查动词allow的用法。allow后面通常接sb. to do sth. 表示“同意某人做某事”。本句中allow为被动语态，前面接not表示否定，后面依然接动词不定式，故应填写to make。
4. His promotion to manager came as a complete surprise. Nobody expected him to (give) ______ a higher job within the company.
be given
[解析] 本题考查不定式的用法。词组expect sb. to do sth.的意思是“预料/估计某人做某事”。句中him和give之间是逻辑上的被动关系，因此需要用表示被动的结构来表达“他被授予更高的职位”的意思，所以本题用be given。 判断出用动词不定式后，还须考虑是否用动词不定式的被动形式。
5. Hospitals and universities are (typical) ______ large professional organizations.
Task 1 Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there aren't that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs. Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You'll also need a home office with a high speed Internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment. To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you're looking for full-time work, you should be spending full-time hours seeking a job. Networking (人际联系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.

Task 2 Scientists find that hard-working people live much longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that people without a steady job are in poorer health than jobholders. Why is work good for people's health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people may feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are often those who are busy with their work. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between men and the world around them. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful and beneficial to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects one in spirit and emotion and is inclined to make him ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words and they may have a feeling of endless satisfaction. From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life.
1. Why are housewives not as healthy as career women?
A.Because they are poorer than career women.
B.Because they have more children than career women.
C.Because they feel lonely more easily than career women.
3. What will happen to those who have lost their work?
A.They are likely to be in poor health.
B.They will lose everything at home.
C.They can live as long as those who work.
D.They will have more time to make new friends.
A B C D

[解析] 第二段最后两句提到，失去工作就意味着失去了一切，这会影响人的精神和情绪，往往会导致疾病的发生。简而言之，没有工作可能导致人生病，使身体健康状况变差。题干中的who have lost their work是对原文中The loss of work的同义转述，A中的are likely to be in poor health是对原文中is inclined to make him ill的同义转述。由此确定A为本题的答案。
