8. My daughter knew that the letter was not addressed to her, but she opened it ___.A. in advanceB. for freeC. by no meansD. out of curiosity
(I—Interviewer; M—Michael) I: With all your experience of interviewing, Michael, how can you tell if somebody is going to make a good interviewer M: Oh, I say, what a question! I’ve never been asked that before. [1] I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity. I think that’s a natural one, not an assumed one. I think the people who have, um, done my job, and the graveyard of the BBC is littered with them. Their tombstones are there, you know, who failed, have been because basically they’ve not been journalists. Urn, my training was in journalism. I’ve been 26 years a journalist, and to be a journalist argues that you like meeting people-to start with, and also you want to find out about them. So that’s the prerequisite. After that, I think there’s something else comes into it, into play, and I think... most successful journalists have it. It’s a curious kind of affinity with people. It’s an ability to get on with people. It’s a kind of body warmth, if you like. If you knew the secret of it and could bottle it and sell it, you’d make a fortune. I: When you’ve done an interview yourself, how do you feel whether it’s been a good interview or not a good interview M: [2] I can never really, er, tell on air. I have to watch it back, because television depends so much on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction. You can’t. It’s amazing. Sometimes I think "Oh, that’s a boring interview" and just because of the way my director shot it, and shot reaction, he’s composed a picture that’s made it far more interesting than it actually was. I: [3] How do you bring out the best in people, because you always seem to manage to, not only relax them, but somehow get right into the depths of them. M: By research, by knowing, when you go into a television studio, more about the guest in front of you than they’ve forgotten about themselves. And, I mean, that’s pure research. You probably use, in a 20 minute interview, I probably use, a 20th of the research material that I’ve absorbed, but that’s what you’ve got to have to do. I once interviewed Robert Mitchum for 75 minutes and the longest reply I got from him was "yes". And that... that’s the only time I’ve used every ounce of research and every question that I’ve ever thought of, and a few that I hadn’t thought of as well. But that really is the answer—it’s research. When people say to you, you know, "Oh, you go out and wing it", I mean, that’s nonsense. If anybody ever tries to tell you that as an interviewer just starting, that you wing it, there’s no such thing. It’s all preparation. It’s knowing exactly what you’re going to do at any given point and knowing what you want from the person. I: And does that include sticking’ to written questions or do you deviate M: No, I mean what you do is you have an aide memoir. My list of questions aren’t questions as such. They’re areas that I block out. And indeed, I can’t remember... [4] I can’t recall, apart from the aforesaid Mr. Mitchum experience, when I’ve ever stuck to that at all, because, quite often you’ll find that they spin off into areas that you’ve not really thought about and perhaps it’s worth pursuing sometimes. The job is very much like, actually, a traffic cop; you’re like you’re on point duty and you’re directing the flow of traffic. Well, you’re directing the flow of conversation. That’s basically what you’re doing, when you’re doing a talk-show, in my view. I: Have you got a last word of encouragement for any young people setting out on what they’d like to be a career as an interviewer M: I... I envy them. I really do. I mean I’d go back and do it all again. [5] I think it’s the most perfect job for any young person who’s got talent and ambition and energy. And the nice thing about it is that the proportion of talent is indeed only 5 per cent, the other 95 per cent is energy, and there’s no examinations to pass. I’d love to do it over again.What is essential for a good interviewer(). A. Professional knowledge. B. Experience in the area. C. Curiosity about the interviewees. D. Enthusiasm about the job.
What does Professor John Wilding argue about obesity?With obesity now affecting 29% of the population in England, and expected to rise to 35% by 2030, should we now recognise it as a disease? Obesity, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that health may be adversely affected, meets the dictionary definition of disease, argues Professor John Wilding. He points out that more than 200 genes influence weight. “Thus body weight is strongly influenced by biology—it is not an individual’s fault if they develop obesity.”请根据材料选择正确答案。A、Its impact on society is expected to rise.B、It is now too widespread to be neglected.C、It should be regarded as a genetic disease.D、Its dictionary definition should be updated.

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.

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 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.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55()。A. withB. asC. overD. for
