The Workers' Role in Management
Traditionally, it has been the workers' role to work and management's role to manage.
Managers have planned and directed the firm's operations with little thought to consulting the labor force. Managers have rarely felt compelled to obtain the workers' opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, companies have provided
which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor --they have a vital stake in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major
company decisions profoundly affect workers and their dependents. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management?
Workers should have a role in management. At the very least, the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions (A common complaint among rank-and-file workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions). Between 1980and 1985about five
million workers were the victims of plant closings and. permanent layoffs, often with no warning. At least 90days' notice ought to be given in such instances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might
be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions that will help keep the plant operating.
It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policy making groups. If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and
management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their morale will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive, they must be given a share in the company's profits. This can be done through employee stockownership plans, bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.
Traditional workers showed no interest in management.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
17、 In reCent years many management specialists have been arguing for the workers' role in management with two major reasons.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
18、 Since policy decisions are business secrets of a firm, workers should not be informed of them.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
19、 Before closing, a plant should put up a notice and keep it for 90days.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
20、 The workers' participation in management might save a plant from closing down.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
21、 One of the advantages of involving workers in making a decision is that the interpersonal relationship between workers and managers can be improved.

Passage 1
Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people
read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.
6. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means A. go to the newspaper stand and buy
B. send their own news stories to
C. agree to buy for a specific period of time
D. become faithful readers of
7. The habit of reading newspapers is .
A. widespread B. found among a few families
C. not popular D. uncommon
8. Before the time of the newspaper, .
A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowly
B. few people cared about events that took place in far away countries
C. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killed

10. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.
B. Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.
C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.
D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.
Passage 2
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
11. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses?
A. Selling home furnishings.
B. Renting furnished apartments.
C. Selling used furniture.

A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new.
B. Because it saves them a lot of money.
C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.
D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.
13. What can you infer from the passage?
A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.
B. Renting furniture is still not popular with the majority of Americans.
C. Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.
D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.
14. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Rent or Buy? B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings
C. Furnished Apartments D. A New Idea
15. Young people like renting home furniture in that_________
A. They have less money.
B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.
C. The new furniture is of good quality.
D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.
Passage 3
Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were
exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.
Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.
Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.
Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.” They wrote.
16. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Cell phone use is dangerous.
B. Cell phone use causes cancer.
C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field.
D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.
17. Doctor Volkow was astonished because ______.
A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phone
B. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brain
C. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activity
D. human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation
18. According to the passage, cell phones were launched _______。
A. in the late 1970s B. between 1980 and 1985
C. in the late 1980s D. in the early 1990s
19. What does the word “that” stand for in the second paragraph?
A. Brain activity。
B. Her research findings。
C. The fact that cell phone use may cause cancer。
D. Her research progress。
20. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

Radiocarbon Dating
Nowadays scientists can answer many questions about the past through a technique called radiocarbon (放射性碳 ), or carbon-14, dating. One key to understanding how and by something happened is to discover when it happened.
Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940s by physicist Willard F. Libby at he University of Chicago. An atom of ordinary carbon, called carbon-12, has six protons(中子 ) and six neutrons (质子 ) in its nucleus. Carbon-14, or C-14, is a radioactive, unstable form of carbon that has two extra neutrons (原子核 ). It returns to a more stable form of carbon through a process called decay (衰减 ). This process involves the loss of he extra neutrons and energy from the nucleus.
In Libby's radiocarbon dating technique, the weak radioactive emissions (放射 ) from his decay process are counted by instruments such as a radiation detector and counter. he decay rate is used to determine the proportion of C-14 atoms in the sample being dated.
Carbon-14 is produced in the Earth's atmosphere when nitrogen (氮 )-14, or N-14,
interacts with cosmic rays (宇宙射线 ). Scientists believe since the Earth was formed, the mount of nitrogen in the atmosphere has remained constant. Consequently, C-14 formation is thought to occur at a constant rate. Now the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms in the atmosphere is
known. Most scientists agree that this ratio is useful for dating items back to at least 50,000 years.
All life on Earth is made of organic molecules (分子 ) that contain carbon atoms coming from the atmosphere. So all living things have about the same ratio of C-14
atoms to other carbon atoms in their tissues (组织 ). Once an organism (有机体 ) dies it tops taking in carbon in any form, and the C-14 already present begins to decay. Over time the amount of C-14 in the material decreases, and the ratio of C-14 to other carbon toms goes down. In terms of radiocarbon dating, the fewer C-14 atoms in a sample, the older that sample is.
16Nowadays many scientists depend on radiocarbon for dating age-old objects

Chimpanzees
1Chimpanzees (黑猩猩 ) will soon be extinct (灭绝 ). If the present rate of hunting and habitat (栖息地 ) destruction continues, then within 20 years, there will be no chimpanzees living in the wild. But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy (悲剧 ). Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications (含意 ) for the survival of their distant relatives - human beings.
2In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes (基因组 ) match by over 98%. Compare this to the mouse, used as model for human disease in lab tests, which shares only 60% of its DNA with us. In fact, chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically, chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools. These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority (优先 ). But there is another, more selfish reason to preserve the chimp.
3The chimpanzees' trump card (王牌 ) comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinarians (兽医 ) often refer to human medical textbooks when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas. In particular, chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases. It is this ability that is so interesting.
4For example, chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Indeed, their use as experimental animals in AIDS research has declined because they are so resistant.
5By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing (找到 ) the place where the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans, scientists hope to be able to discover which part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This, they hope, will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alteration (改变 ) of the human genetic sequence. The recently completed human genome sequencing project has shown that such an effort is now well within our reach.

Water
The second most important constituent (构成成份 ) of the biosphere (生物圈 ) is liquid water. This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezes at 0℃ and boils at 100℃ . Life as we know it would only be possible on the surface of a planet which had temperatures somewhere within this narrow range.
The earth's supply of water probably remains fairly constant in quantity. The total quantity of water is not known very accurately, but it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of about two and three-quarter kilometers. Most of it is in the form of the salt water of the oceans - about 97 per cent. The rest
is fresh, but three-quarters of this is in the form of ice at the Poles and on mountains, and cannot be used by living systems until melted. Of the remaining fractional which is somewhat less than one per cent of the whole, there is 10-20 times as much stored underground water as there is actually on the surface. There is also a tiny, but extremely important fraction of the water supply which is present as water vapor in the atmosphere.
Water vapor in the atmosphere is the channel through which the whole water
circulation (循环 ) of the biosphere has to pass. Water evaporated (蒸发 ) from the surface of the oceans, from lakes and rivers and from moist (潮湿的 ) earth is added to it. From it the water comes out again as rain or snow, falling on either the sea or the land. There is, as might be expected, a more intensive evaporation per unit area over the sea and oceans than over the land, but there is more rainfall over the land than over the oceans, and the balance is restored by the runoff from the land in the form of rivers.

Mind-reading Machine
A team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning (扫描 ) what's happening in their brains.
When you look at something, your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons (神 经元 ) are responsible for this processing.
The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) (功能性磁振造影 ) brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.
Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize (使…显现 ) which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood - and therefore, which parts are working to process information.
An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks, looks at something, or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images, fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.
The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects, like people, animals, and fruits. The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers' brain activity with each photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers' brains to light up on the scan, indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.
In a second test, the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before, their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time, the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example, if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly related to pictures of apples in the first test, their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.
36What is responsible for processing the information sent by your eyes?
A The magnetic system in the brain.
B The central part of the heart.
C Oxygen-rich blood.
D Neurons in the brain.
37The function of an fMRI machine is
A to show how neutrons take in oxygen-rich blood.
B to measure how dense the blood is in the brain.
C to record how much oxygen the brain consumes.
D to identify which parts of the brain are processing information
38The expression
A giving light to the parts of the brain that are processing information.
B marking the parts of the brain that are processing information.
C putting the parts of the brain to work.
D preventing the parts of the brain from working.
39The researchers experimented on
A animals and objects.
B fMRI machines.
C two volunteers.
D thousands of pictures.
40Which of the following can best replace the title of the passage?
A Recent Development in Science and Technology.
B Your Thoughts Can Be Scanned.
C A Technological Dream.
D An Intelligent Robot.

Youth Emancipation in Spain
The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.
Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents' homes, says the latest report from the country's state-run Institute of Youth.
To coax (劝诱 ) young people from their homes, the Institute started a
Emancipation (解放 )
Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious (不稳定的 ) labor market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.
Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists (社会学家 ). Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report
In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews (外侄 /侄子 ) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.
Parents' tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.
sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.
Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores (家务 ) worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend
and a job. But life with mum is good.

Reduce Packaging
Pressure increased recently on British supermarkets and retailers to reduce
packaging as part of an anti-waste campaign.(46) Britain generates 4.6 million tons of household waste every year by packaging.
Dozens of people have expressed anger at the excess of plastic wrapping.
Campaigners have called on Britain to learn from other European countries.(47) When returned bottles are put in a vending machine (自动 售货机 ), the deposit is refunded. Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this.
There were reports of growing unease among consumers over the amount of packaging they have to deal with. Trade standards officers also object to excessive
packaging. (48)
In response to a campaign by Britain's The Independent newspaper, leading
supermarkets have pointed to various initiatives to win the public confidence.(49)
But campaigners said retailers and the government could learn much from anti-waste practices on the Continent. In Sweden, non-recyclable batteries have been
taxed since 1991 to encourage a switch to alternatives.(50) In Germany, plastic bags
are unheard of in supermarkets and deposits are paid for reusable plastic and glass beverage bottles.
A In Belgium, when you buy something in a plastic or glass container, you make a deposit.
B This is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying.
C This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales.
D Tesco said it was saving 112,000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates (装货箱 ) for transporting its fresh produce.
E The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.
F If a product is over-packaged, don't buy it.

Study organizers said the strongest (56)was in working men. They said naps might improve health by mitigating (减低 ) tension(57)by work.
Some European and Latin American businesses have supported the idea of (58) for many years. They urge (催促 ) people to(59)work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest briefly in their offices. They believe this reduces mistakes and accidents, and also(60)the amount of work a person can do.
Sleep experts say it is likely that people(61)more mistakes at work than at other times. They say people should not carry out important duties(62)they feel sleepy. And they say the best thing to do is to take a nap.
About twenty minutes of rest is all you(63). Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your (64)until the end of the day. But experts (65)that a nap should last no more than twenty to thirty minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.
