America is changing its eating habits. As medical evidence mounts that we are indeed what we eat, consuming a healthier diet has become almost a national passion in the United States. The food-for-fitness phenomenon began in the late ´70s when a U.S. Senate Committee on nutrition reached grim conclusion that six out of the ten leading causes of death — such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke — might be linked to diet. The government issued dietary guidelines advising Americans to eat a variety of foods, maintain proper weight, and limit intake of fat, salt, sugar, and alcohol.For most Americans, what to eat is a matter of personal choice, rather than one of supply. An excellent nationwide food distribution system assures that fresh produce is readily available in all parts of the country, regardless of the season. Taking advantage of this abundance(充足), many people are forsaking traditional meat-and-potatoes fare(饮食)in favor of lighter meals of salads, fruits, and vegetables.The single most dramatic change in the American diet has been a reduction in consumption of animal fat, which is thought to increase the risk of heart disease and may contribute to the high U.S. incidence of breast and colon cancer. Margarine(a fatty solid butter substitute)and vegetable oils have replaced butter and lard(i.e. white fat from pigs that is used in cooking)in many homes, and half of all milk now drunk in the United States is low-fat. Fish and poultry(i.e. birds such as chickens and ducks kept on farms in order to produce meat)are increasingly popular sources of protein as consumption of red meat declines. The food industry has responded to concern about fat by producing leaner cuts of meat and cholesterol-free(不含胆固醇的)substitutes for eggs.One of the most significant trends in the American way of eating is the healthful change in restaurant food. "One of every two meals in the United States is eaten outside the home," says Donna Watson, President of the American Dietetic Association. "Restaurants are making special efforts to provide low-fat, low-salt, and low-calorie items." Salad bars, loaded with fresh greens and raw fruits and vegetables, are found everywhere, even alongside the burgers and French fries in fast-food restaurants.Most important, the focus on prudent diet has led to an unprecedented national quest for a healthier life style. Americans are smoking less, exercising more, and experimenting with new ways to conquer stress. Eating sensibly, they have discovered, is only one important route to good health.1What is suggested in the guidelines by the U.S. government?A.The whole nation should be on diet for health.B.Foods rich in fat should be limited in people´s diet.C.Eating is obviously a matter of life and death.D.Having a variety of food helps people lose weight.2What does the author say about the choice of food in the U.S.?E.People have more choices when fruits and vegetables are in season.F.People prefer traditional foods to food which are very low in fat.G.People tend to choose salads because vegetables are more readily available.H.People can choose what they want thanks to the sufficient supply of food.3What do people do to cut the consumption of animal fat?I.They use vegetable oils instead of lard.J.They give up the use of butter in food preparation.K.The food industry produces low-fat milk only.L.They abandon the diet that contains meat.4How do restaurants respond to people´s pursuit of a healthier diet?M.They are negative toward the trend.N.They take positive action accordingly.O.They are indifferent to people´s needs.P.They oversupply food made of vegetables.5According to the passage, "prudent"(Line 1, Para 5)most probably means______.Q.low-fat and protein-richR.risklessS.sensibleT.economical

The concept of sharing goods and services with your community as a means of economic transaction is ancient. But thanks to the Internet， the concept now has global scale at the click of a button. It's called the sharing economy. As its most basic， the sharing economy， also known as the collaborative or peer-to-peer economy，is about connecting individuals with resources to others that want them. It often works through lending or borrowing but can also involve the financial transaction of goods of services. While the concept of sharing economy has been round for some time，the coming of apps and smart phone technology means that it's easier for individuals to participate in peer-to-peer sharing transactions in real time. There are many reasons why people participate in the sharing economy，but here are some of the biggest ones： Finding temporary accommodation while traveling can be stressful- especially if you're looking for something on short notice. Thanks to the sharing economy，there are a few popular services that connect people looking to rent out their apartment or home with travelers for a day or two. Everyone，who's ever driven in a major city knows that finding parking can be a real pain.Limited parking spaces and higher fees have contributed to tech-based services that can help you find，and even reserve an available parking space. Whether you're pressed for time or need to find somewhere to leave the car for a day or two while visiting an unfamiliar city，parking is one more headache. The sharing economy is helping alleviate it. For pet owners，leaving town on vacation can be a stressful experience. Finding a dog sitter on short notice can be a problem， and leaving your pet at a kennel（犬舍）might leave you worried about their well-being when you should be relaxed. Luckily，a little tech-inspired collaboration can offer an elegant solution. Partnering pet owners with willing hosts can give your dog a vacation of their own，with plenty of TLC - "tender loving care" and space to roam（漫步） in the home of a fellow pet lover. Now it is true that apps empower（授权）you to exchange a variety of items with people from all over. Whether it's a bike，some tools you need for a project，or anything in between，collaborative economies make it easier to access the things you need without cash.（1）What do we know about the sharing economy from the first two paragraphs？ ____ A.

Relieve.（4）What is probably the author's attitude towards the sharing economy？ ____ A. Neutral.B. Positive.C. Negative.D.

O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64. In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor suggests that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted(限制) to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures. The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic. 1.The research paper published is primarily concerned with______. C. the way of preventing employee turnover D. methods of improving employee performance E. factors affecting employee turnover and performance F. pay structures based on employee performance 2.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that_______. G. the data analysis is hardly reliable H. the research sample is not wide enough I. the findings are of no practical value J. the research method is out-of-date 3.Who might be most interested in this piece of information? K. Job hunters. L. Employees in blue-chip companies. M. Mid-level managers. N. Researchers on employee turnover.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
