Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a student in the university and a loyal reader of this library. I’m writing to tell some of my ideas, which I hope to be helpful for you.
I notice that many magazines in our library are out of date. It would be beneficial to us students if they could be updated in time. And I suggest introducing some new journals so as to bring new fresh air to the library. Furthermore, since we have a huge number of books, it is not easy to find the right one easily. However, if we can introduce some new searching means, such as implementing new information management system that would be useful.
Thank you for taking time reading this letter and I’m looking forward to seeing some new changes soon.
Sincerely Yours,
Li Ming

(40 points)Passage 1 A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap, but, if properlyhandled, it may become a driving force. When the United States entered just such a glowingperiod after the end of the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than anycompetitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. Its scientists were the world全国硕士研究生入学考试英语（二）真题第 1 页，共 44 页2s best; its workers the most skilled. (11)America and Americans were prosperous beyond thedreams of the Europeans andAsians whose economies the war had destroyed.It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the mid-1980s Americanshad found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. Some hugeAmerican industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreigncompetition. By 1987 there was only one American television maker left, Zenith. (Nowthere is none: Zenith was bought by South Koreas LG Electronics in July.) （12）Foreign-madecars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industrywas on the ropes. For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, whichAmerica had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be thenext casualty. All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity forgranted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that theirincomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry afteranother into the causes of Americas industrial decline. Their sometimes sensational findingswere filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.How things have changed! In 1995 the United States can look back on five years ofsolid growth while Japan has been struggling. （14）Few Americans attribute this solely to suchobvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Self-doubt has yieldedto blind pride. “American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, has learnt to bemore quick-witted,” according to Richard Cavanaugh, executive dean of Harvards KennedySchool of Government. “It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businessesare improving their productivity,”says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank inWashington, DC. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that peoplewill look back on this period as“a golden age of business management in the United Stat、es.”429words11.
