3.D

　　词义猜测题。画线词处表示，在海平面每平方英寸上面就有大约15英磅的气压，再结合or后面的“pushes” hard可知，画线词的意思和D项最接近。

　　4.A

　　推理判断题。最后一段解释在使劲敲打尺子悬空的那头时它会断裂的原因——报纸表面的气压非常大。

　　B

　　Open Letter to an Editor

　　I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently—one who works for you.In fact, he’s one of your best reporters.He wants to leave.

　　Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume（简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you.The headlines showed you played them proudly.With great enthusiasm,he talked about how he finds issues（问题），approaches them,and writes about them,which tells me he is one of your best.I’m sure you would hate to lose him.

　　Surprisingly,your reporter is not unhappy.In fact,he told me he really likes his job.He has a great assignment（分工），and said you run a great paper.It would be easy for you to keep him,he said.He knows that the paper values him.He appreciates the responsibility you抳e given him,takes ownership of his profession,and enjoys his freedom.h

　　So why is he looking for a way out?

　　He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him.He wants to be pushed,challenged,coached to new heights.
