Is There a Way to Keep the Britain's Economy Growing?
1 .In today's knowledge economy,nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques.The French serve the best food and Americans make computers.
2 .Britain specializes in the gift of talking.The nation doesn't manufacture much of any-thing.But it has lawyers,stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talktalk and more talk.The World Foundation think tank says the UK's four iconic job、todayare not scientists,engineers,teachers and nurses.Instead,they're hairdressers,celebrities,management consultants and managers.But can all this talking keep the British economy going?The British government thinks it can.
3 .Although the country's trade deficit was more than￡60 billion in 2006,UK's largest in thepostwar period,officials say the country has nothing to worry about.In fact,Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical industry and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.It also trades services一accountancy,insurance,banking and advertising.The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy.After all,the country of Shakespeare and Words-worth has a literary tradition of which to be proud.Rock'n'roll is an English language medium,and there are billions to be made by their cutting-edge bands.In other words,the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy.
4 .However,creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK's exports of goods and services.The industries are finding it hard to make a profit,according to a report of the National Endowment for Science,Technology and the Arts.The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in“innovation activities”,3 percentage points be-low the EU average and well below Germany(61 percent)and Sweden(47 percent).
5 .In fact,it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy一there are at least 4 million people“in service”.The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook,clean,and take care of their children.Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree.Most employment growth has been, and will continue to be,at the low-skill end of the service sector一in shops,bars,hotels,domestic service and in nursing and care homes.

Adult Education
1.Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling,get new skills or job training,find out about new technological developments,seek better self-understanding,or develop new talents and skills.
2.This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries,correspondence courses,or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges,study groups,workshops,clubs and professional associations.
3.Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities;new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.
4.The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s,with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics' institution in Glasgow. Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U.S.in Philadelphia in 1727.
5.People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example,parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.
There are various forms of adult education,including________.
A:by social and economic changes
B:guided self-study and correspondence courses
C:by studying together with children
D:what they did not manage to learn earlier
E:dates back to the eighteenth century
F: mass production

You Need Courage!
Shortly after I began a career in business,I learned that Carl Weatherup,president of
PepsiCo（百事可乐公司）,was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the
person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.________(1)
So there I was sifting outside the university's auditorium,waiting for the president of
PepsiCo.I could hear him talking to the students...and talking,and talking.________(2)
He was now five minutes over,which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes.
Decision time.
I wrote a note on the back of my business card,reminding him that he had a
meeting."You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 p.m."I took a deep breath,
pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle（过道）
toward him as he talked.Mr. Weatherup stopped.________(3)Just before I
reached the door,I heard him tell the group that he was running late.He thanked them
for their attention,wished them luck and walked out to where I was now sitting,holding
my breath.
He looked at the card and then at me."Let me guess,"he said."You're Jeff."He
smiled._________(4)
He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time,some wonderful stories that I still
use,and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York.But what he gave me that I
value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done.__________(5)
When things need to happen,you either have the nerve to act or you don't.
________（2）
A:I began breathing again and we grabbed（霸占）an office right there at school and closed the door.
B:As I sat listening to him,I knew that I could trust him,and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
C:I became alarmed:his talk wasn't ending when it should have.
D:He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him,and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
E:I was told,however,that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
F:I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.

The Industrial Age and Employment
The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people's
work has taken the form of jobs.The industrial age may now be coming to an end,and
some of the changes in work patterns which it brought about may have to be reversed.This
seems a daunting（大胆的）thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better
future for work.Universal employment,as its history shows,has not meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries
made many people dependent on paid work by depriving（剥夺）them of the use of the
land,and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves.Then the factory system
destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people's homes.Later,as
transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted（乘车往返）longer
distances to their places of employment until,eventually,many people's work lost all
connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.
Meanwhile,employment put women at a disadvantage.In pre-industrial times,men
and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community.Now it
became customary(惯例的）for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the
unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.Tax and benefit regulations still assume this
norm today,and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes.
It was not only women whose work status suffered.As employment became the
dominant form of work,young people and old people were excluded-a problem now,as
more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change.The time has certainly come to switch some efforts
and resources away from the utopian（乌托邦的）goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent
practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
Employed women of equal qualifications are paid less than men.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health.Scientific research shows that it
causes many kinds of diseases.In fact,many people who smoke get lung cancer. However,Edward Gilson
has lung cancer,and he has never smoked cigarettes.He lives with his wife Evelyn,who has smoked about
a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage.________(46)
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless,doctors believe that secondhand
smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke
from other people's cigarettes.________(47)The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about
53,000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals.In the past,
scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health._________(48)They
discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies.As a matter
of fact,almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times,whether we realize it or not. For example,we can
not avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants,hotels and other public places.Even though many public places
have nonsmoking areas,smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.
It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke._________(49)Research shows that chil-
dren who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one
smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are
adults as are children of nonsmokers.The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both
parents smoke.
People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke._________（50)

A:Recently,though,scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.

Electronic Mail
During the past few years,scientists all over the world have suddenly found themselves pro-ductively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding-writing,any kind of writing,but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail's surprisingly high speed,convenience and economy,people who never before touched the stuff are regularly,skillfully,even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.
Electronic networks,woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days,are the route to colleagues in distant countries,shared data,bulletin boards and electronic journals.Any-one with a personal computer,a modern and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on.An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day,most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known col- lectively as the Internet,or net.
E-mail is starting to edge out the fax,the telephone,overnight mail,and of course,land mail.It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators, in part because it is conven- iently asynchronous（异步的）( Writers can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting.).If it is not yet speeding discoveries,it is certainly accelerating communication.
Jeremy Bernstein,the physicist and science writer,once called E-mail the physicist's umbilical cord（脐带）.Later other people , too , have been discovering its connective virtues. Physi-cists are using it;college students are using it;everybody is using it;and as a sign that it has come of age,the New Yorker has celebrated its liberating presence with a cartoon-an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard,saying happily,“On the Internet,nobody knows you're a dog.”
What will happen to fax,land mail,overnight mail,etc.according to the writer?
A: Their functions cannot be replaced by E-mail.
B: They will co-exist with E-mail for a long time.
C:Less and less people will use them.
D: They will play a supplementary function to E-mail.

How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate
nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss's secretary,there
are keys to timing don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he
is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 Ifyou're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don't let a particular
concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively
about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem
the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee
has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate
solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solu-
tions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put
yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with
you to achieve your goals.
Paragraph 3__________
A:Keep Your Voice Low All the Time
B:Put Yourself in the Boss's Position
C:Propose Your Solution
D:Don't Go in When You Are Angry

The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives
Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their
houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose（蔗糖）and
was chewed on for its sweet taste.Over time,sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant,grown
throughout the world.___________(46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery（糖果点心）to medicine,
and,as the demand for sugar grew,the industry became larger and more profitable._________(47)Many
crops withered（枯萎）and died,despite growers'attempts to save them,and there were fears that the health
of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the 1960s,scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger
and more able to resist disease.They experimented with breeding programmes,mixing genes from the wild
species of sugar cane,which tends to be tougher,with genes from the more delicate,commercial type.
_________(48)This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially,but when this happens,it is

__________(50)
A:The majority of the world's sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.
B:Unfortunately,however,the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.
C:Eventually,a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before,but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.
D:Since the 1960s,scientists have been analysing the mysteries of the sugar cane's genetic code.
E:One major gene has been identified by Dr Angelique D'Hont and her team in Montpelier,France.
F: Sugar cane is now much more vigorous and the supply of sugar is therefore more guaranteed.
The Tough Grass that Sweetens Our Lives
Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their
houses and fencing their gardens. Gradually a different variety evolved which contained sucrose（蔗糖）and
was chewed on for its sweet taste.Over time,sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant,grown
throughout the world.___________(46)
Sugar became a vital ingredient in all kinds of things, from confectionery（糖果点心）to medicine,
and,as the demand for sugar grew,the industry became larger and more profitable._________(47)Many
crops withered（枯萎）and died,despite growers'attempts to save them,and there were fears that the health
of the plant would continue to deteriorate.
In the 1960s,scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger
and more able to resist disease.They experimented with breeding programmes,mixing genes from the wild
species of sugar cane,which tends to be tougher,with genes from the more delicate,commercial type.
_________(48)This sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially,but when this happens,it is
expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.
