Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （40 points） Text 1 The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement

4、of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic. One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. G

5、ilberts own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man 2 / 31 who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely expanding the orch

Text 2 As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO

10、turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders. The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and

11、 headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I cant think of a single search Ive done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.” Many recruiters say the old disgra

12、ce is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was its safer to stay where you are, but thats been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people whove been hurt the worst are those whove st

23、s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood arent in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look jus

24、t a little bit like Jennifer Aniston. 36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring Atemporary delight Benjoyment in progress Chappiness in retrospect 7 / 31 Dlasting reward 37.We learn from Paragraph 2 that Acelebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.
