Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives。 However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities。The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities。 They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands。 And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits (益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded。 Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural。 Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun。 Such fires in wild places can be out of control。▲ ? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment。 If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.34。 Visitors to the National Parks in England can _________.A。 give food to wild animalsB. drive cars on the grasslandsC。 enjoy fresh air and peaceful timeD. have fun farming with local people35。 The third paragraph mainly tells us __________。A。 the problems of the National ParksB。 the pollution caused by visitorsC。 the development of the National ParksD. the benefits brought by visitors36. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. What can people getB。 How can people helpC。 What are the National Parks likeD. How are the National Parks set up37。 The passage is probably taken from the part of a magazine.A. transport B。 wildlife C. history D. geographyCHave you ever been in a conflict(冲突)? Do you know how to solve it? Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict. Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it. The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator (调解人).After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict, they discuss ways to solve it。 They try to come up with a “resolution” that both sides agree to. They cannot be angry during the communication. Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking。 If voices get too loud or it ap pears that someone is angry, the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect。 After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict, it is time for discussing the best solution (解决办法)。Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:● Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.● The person who was accused as the “pusher" says it was actually an accident。● The person who was pushed gets the mediator。● The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place , away from others to talk。● The mediator calms them down and lets the m know he understands their feelings。● Each person describes what happened。● The mediator repeats what he heard, so it is clear to everyone。● The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem。● The two persons offer their own solutions.● The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement。● The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution。● The mediator offers praise for solving the problem。Conflict resolution can be used in many environments。 It encourages people to tell what really happened, to share their feelings, and to work together peacefully to solve the problem。 It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator。38。 According to the passage, if two students have had a fight, they had better ________.A。 call the police B. get a mediatorC。 ask parents for ideas D. describe the fight to teachers39。 In conflict resolution, the mediator's job is to __________。A。 describe what really happened to both sidesB。 help both sides reach an agreement in a proper wayC. listen to both sides and then punish the trouble maker[来源:Zxxk。Com]D。 write down what both sides have explained in the communication40.

It was the beginning of World War II and her family had to leave their country as soon as possible。 She quickly filled a bag with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and her treasure-a beautiful silk scarf.Kathy and her best friend, Monica, had asked their parents to buy them matching scarves。 They each would wear the scarves as a symbol of their friendship. Kathy had no idea that she was going to America that night and would not be returning.Kathy kept that special silk scarf for many years。 One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck.

It is going to bring both of us luck today。” And with that, Eliza kissed her grandmother and left for the interview.That afternoon Eliza left the interview, feeling sure that she had got the job。 So she decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she was sitting at her table, she felt someone looking at her。 Sitting next to her was an old woman, who could not take her eyes away from her.“I’m sorry, do I know you?" Eliza asked。“I'm sorry, dear, but you make me think of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied。 “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you’re wearingaround your neck.” Eliza listened carefully, with her eyes and mouth wide open。 She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf. Could this be Monica, her grandmother’s childhood friend?Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman。“My name’s Monica, dear。 I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old.

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.

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.

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.
