Organized volunteering and work experience has long been a vital companion to university degree courses. Usually it is left to 1 to judge the potential from a list of extracurricular adventures on a graduate's resume, but now the university of Bristol has set up an award to formalize the achievements of students who 2 time to activities outside their courses. Bristol PLuS aims to boost students in an increasingly competitive job market by helping them acquire work and life skills alongside 3 qualifications."Our students are a pretty active bunch, but we found that they didn't 4 appreciate the value of what they did outside the lecture hall." says Jeff Goodman, director of careers and employability at the university. "Employers are much more 5 than they used to be. They used to look for 6 employees and saw it as part of their job to extract the value of an applicant's skills. Now they want students to be able to explain why those skills are 7 to the job."Students who 8 the award will be expected to complete 50 hours of work experience or voluntary work, attend four workshops on employ-ability skills, take part in an intensive skills﹣related activity and, crucially, write a summary of the skills they have gained. 9 efforts will gain an Outstanding Achievement Award.

"We're not just interested in easily identifiable skills." says Goodman. "12, one student took the lead in dealing with a difficult landlord and so 13 negotiation skills.

Organic food is now a huge market segment, driven by consumer demand for food that’s healthier.The biggest misconception held by many organic lovers is that organic produce is not grown with fertilizers (肥料) or pesticides (杀虫剂). That’s simply wrong. Organic fertilizers and pesticides are manufactured by all the major producers. Pests attack crops whether they’re certified organic or not; and all plants take nutrients (营养物) out of the soil that have to be replaced.Many think organic farms handle that through soil management. And so they do, but so do all farms. Every farm rotates crops as much as possible to keep the soil healthy and reduce the spread of pest; by no means is this unique to organics. It’s been a farming fundamental for centuries.Chemicals are one of a farm’s biggest expenses, and both organic and conventional farms strive to reduce that expense. Modern agriculture depends on efficient fertilizers that deliver the needed nutrient load with a minimum of waste, and on newly developed seed strains that thrive with less fertilizer and that are naturally resistant to pests.Organic practices, however, prohibit both of these innovations, restricting farmers to less efficient fertilizers made from post-consumer and animal waste, and banning the use of the newest crop strains. Why? Because that’s what organic is. It was never about farming in the best way we know how; it’s about farming in a particular way, that rejects modern developments.At the end of the day, there’s no real difference. The Internet is full of videos where volunteers can’t tell organic from conventional produce in blinded tests. Daily variations in produce quality are much larger than any inherent difference between organic and conventional. And yes, you can find studies that show organic food is healthier, but to find them, you have to dig past a much larger number of studies that find no difference at all.If organic is what you want, great, buy and enjoy whichever you prefer, but just don’t be fooled by bad science and marketing efforts.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?A) To compare organic food with conventional produce.B) To correct people’s wrong beliefs about organic food. C) To explain why organic food is so popular with people.D) To convince that conventional produce is better for health.2. What is a traditional method used to keep the soil healthy?A) Avoiding too much use of chemicals.B) Replacing soil nutrients with fertilizers.C) Using the soil for organic produce only.D) Rotating crops as much as possible. 3. What is one characteristic of organic practices?A) They use no fertilizers or pesticides.B) They use more efficient fertilizers.C) They ban the use of new seed strains. D) They adopt the latest farming techniques.4. From Paragraph 6 (the paragraph beginning with “at the end of the day, …”), we can infer that ______________.A) organic food is no different from conventional produceB) the quality of organic produce can be highly unstable C) the results of the tests in the videos are not fair enoughD) volunteers participating in these tests are not qualified5. At the end of the passage, the writer tends to suggest that _____________.A) the benefits of organic food are overstated by marketing B) organic practice involves no scientific knowledge at allC) people should be practical and consume less organic foodD) it is easy for people to be fooled by bad science today
Having a part-time job is an important part of growing up for American teenagers. It can teach them important skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. And many teenagers find that making their own money gives them a sense of pride and freedom. American teenagers are allowed to do part-time jobs at the age of 14. During the school year, teenagers may go to work a few times a week after school, and work for longer at weekends. In summer, top part-time jobs for teenagers include at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These jobs are great for those who want to be active and have fun while making money.

As long as they stay in the house and make sure the kids are okay, babysitters can do their homework, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends. After the kids go to bed and before the parents come home, babysitters have lots of freedom. It can be stressful to balance school, homework, and a part-time job.

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.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

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.
