Passage 3 The advent of computers has brought with it a new set of opportunities for mischief (危害) and crime. Today, computers are easy to come by and many people know how computer technology works. More importantly, the growing use of computer networks can multiply a breach (破坏) of security, making larger numbers of people more vulnerable(脆弱的) than would be the case if they were using single, stand-alone computers. What’s more, computer experts agree that despite recent widespread publicity-computer viruses(病毒) are only one of many computer security problems facing the nation. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency has requested that the Research Council’s(委员会) Computer Science and Technology Board assess(评定) the security problems posed by computer technology, see what solutions may already exist, review research efforts aimed at avoiding security problem in the future, and evaluate existing policies relevant to computer security. The study committee will examine the issue of security for a broad spectrum of users, including the business, national security, and academic communities, as well as the general public. David D.Clark, senior research scientist, Laboratory for Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will chair the committee of experts in electronic security, net work security, computer law, software engineering, cryptography(密码编制), and operating systems. The committee will also include computer users from the defense and banking industries.Which of the following is most likely to be agreed by computer experts A.Computers are easily available.B.There are many kinds of computer security problems.C.Computer viruses are the only problem facing the computer network.D.The growing use of computer networks can multiply a breach of security.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently unveiled a “Better Health” campaign to combat obesity. His proposed interventions include banning junk food advertising before 9 P.M. to reduce the likelihood that children would be exposed to such ads, preventing stores from selling unhealthy snacks at entrances and checkouts, barring “buy one get one free” promotions on unhealthy foods. Critics of Johnson’s anti-obesity measures rightly charge that they are incomplete because they focus on personal responsibility rather than attacking the root causes of obesity—poverty and inequality. Weight is a delicate issue, and mishandling “wars” on fat or obesity could impair, rather than improve, the physical and mental health of people with obesity. Public health initiatives must learn from the mistakes of previous campaigns that regarded people with obesity as lazy, weak-willed and gluttons for junk food. In a controversial ad campaign, one Georgia poster featured four overweight children, with captions such as, “Big bones didn’t make me this way. Big meals did.” This type of misguided ads and anti-obesity campaigns will stress the notion that people with obesity are social and medical burden. Overweight children may be subjected to more bullying by peers if there are internet ads, posters and billboards stigmatizing people with obesity and their alleged diet and exercise habits. To those who insist that blunt messaging is necessary to underscore the gravity of obesity just as sensationalistic anti-tobacco ads were needed to drive home the dangers of smoking, public health research has shown that not only is stigmatization ineffective, it can induce people with obesity to gain rather than shed, pounds. Studies have found that both children and adults subjected to weight-based bullying or discrimination are more likely to seek comfort in binge-eating, to develop eating disorders and to be discouraged from exercise due to anxieties about their bodies being on display. To avoid these consequences, campaigns to reduce obesity should focus on the positive aspects of maintaining healthy diet and exercise habits. And because lower-income Americans are more likely to live in neighborhoods with comparatively fewer supermarkets and green spaces, public policy interventions should also ensure access to affordable healthy foods and spaces that facilitate exercise and recreation. Such interventions align with the consensus among obesity experts that weight is the function of the interaction between genes and the environment. Finally, it is imperative that anti-obesity initiatives also include an educational component in which the public and even health care providers are informed about the effects of weight bias.According to the first paragraph, Boris Johnson campaigns to .A. decease the production of junk foodB. crack down on deceptive advertisingC. make English children go to bed earlyD. help British people fight overweight

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.

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.

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
