Passage Three
Questions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of south Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the west.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has been holy in another way.
It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers 14 years to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believe it possible: carving and blasting the six-story faces of Washington.Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia: Washington’ eyes are each 11 feet wide,and his nose is 26 feet long.Mr.Lincoln, sports a mole that measures 16 inches across.
Just 17 miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite,this memorial,when completed somewhere around 2050,after a century’s labor,this depict Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at 563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.
From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful 14-mile Needles Highway,past billion-year-old Granite hills,so Sylvan lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Altematively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in 1972.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of buffalo roam.

Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning form their female counterparts, a report claims today.
The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.
A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate.By way of contrast, a similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.
Management today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.
The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. a five-year study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.
In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.
16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ?
A.A magazine B.A newspaper
C.A government white paper D.A university Journal
17.According to the passage,male manager tend to ________. A.be more selfless in teamwork
B.ask more questions when surveyed C.be considerate leaders in company D.claim the contribution
18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?
