If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives, we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the thick woolen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in a tropical country. the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves the newest model, or even the guest room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom. Those underutilized(未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others. With the occurrence of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property, Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-hand goods it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take place. And this is known as the sharing economy. These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children’s old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets. Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation. Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time. This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud. Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment. 【小题1】Why can people now sell things more easily? A．People nowadays buy more things. B．Businesses want to buy the things they don t use. C．There are now more market stalls. D．There are now online platforms to do business. A．Thick coat in a cold country. B．Clothes our babies don' t or can't wear any more. C．The latest smartphone. D．The storeroom in our house. A．what they sell might be of a lower quality. B．they have to follow certain regulations. C．they don't have a business license. D．they like to criticize their buyers. A．The consumerist society B．Parents who need money C．The rise of the sharing economy D．Why we buy things we don't need 【小题2】Which of these is something that we might underutilize? A．Thick coat in a cold country. B．Clothes our babies don' t or can't wear any more. C．The latest smartphone. D．The storeroom in our house. 【小题3】It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because _____. A．what they sell might be of a lower quality. B．they have to follow certain regulations. C．they don't have a business license. D．they like to criticize their buyers. 【小题4】What might be a good title for this article? A．The consumerist society B．Parents who need money C．The rise of the sharing economy D．Why we buy things we don't need

Some plan novels, hiding away in their rooms. Others tutor teenagers, in need ofhelp with their maths homework. The life of a twenty-something living at home is notalways glamorous. A difficult job market since the financial crisis has stalled youthfulefforts to move on up the pay-scale and, crucially, to move on out of the parental domain. Analysis released by Britain#39;s Office for National Statistics suggests that more than26% of people aged between 20 and 34 live with their parents.3.3m young Brits of thequot;millennial generation ( 千禧一代 ) ,, are currently enjoying the delights of home-cookedfood and tidy bedrooms--669,000 more than in 1996. Circumstances are perhaps worseacross the pond: 36% Americans of a similar age group, those aged 18-31, also dwell withmom and pop (but this estimate, it should be noted, includes students). Times are tough for millennials: many earn less than their peers did before thefinancial crisis, while those paying rent are also paying more. Cassandra delights in LenaDunham#39;s series quot;Girlsquot;, which, while funny, has drawn interesting attention to the plightof youngsters trying to make it in big cities such as New York. 2014 may be a welcome year of change, at least for those with a degree. A recentsurvey of Britain#39;s top I00 graduate employers, for example, suggests that around 1,400more people this year will be hired fresh from university than were last year. The 8.7% rise in jobs on offer (the largest in four years) has been driven both byfirms (such as Deloitte, Google and British Airways) and by the public sector. TeachFirst#39;s charitable scheme to get graduates teaching in tough schools is proving popular: itis now the single largest recruiter of young talent and has 1,550 vacancies. While the ethics of internships are hotly debated, the rise in the number of jobs alsocomes at a time when employers are offering more such placements to students. A systemthat encourages trying before buying, as it were, may finally be starting to pay off foryoung people. Better news for the global economy in recent days may also herald better jobprospects for youth around the world. The IMF (International Monetary Fund,encouraged by news from America, Japan and the euro zone, raised its global growthforecast for 2014 by 0.1 percentage point, to 3.7%. That fractional increase may meanmore childhood bedrooms, with ancient teddies and decrepit ( 破旧的 ) posters, are vacated by millennials with new employment elsewhere.1.[单选题]Which recruiter provides the most vacancies for young talent?A.Deloitte.B.Google.C.British Airways.D.Teach First.2.[单选题]What do we learn about the twenty-something from the passage?A.Living at home, they always have an exciting life.B.Financial crisis has stopped them from leaving home.C.Fewer of them now enjoy the home-cooked foods.D.More of them live with their parents in the UK than in the US.3.[单选题]What does Lena Dunham#39;s series quot;Girlsquot; show according to the passage?A.Youngsters earn less and pay more in big cities.B.Youngsters#39; life in big cities is always funny.C.Youngsters#39; life in big cities is really tough.D.Youngsters make little efforts in big cities.4.[单选题]What problem happens when more placements are offered to students?A.The number of jobs falls.B.The ethics of internships are questioned.C.A new system is finally starting.D.Young people have to pay off.5.[单选题]What does the increase of 0.1% in the IMF#39;s global growth forecast for 2014 mean?A.Millennials may soon find new jobs.B.Millennials may be eager to leave home.C.Millennials may throw their old teddies and posters.D.Millennials may move out of the parental domain.

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.

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
