M: No. Does it look like I've stopped eating？ I've been spending a lot of time in the library. W: Working on a paper？ M: I wish I was working on a paper! I'm working on three different papers: anthropology, English literature, and history. W: Wow, that is a lot of work. M: Yeah, and what's frustrating is that I'm studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can't just write a single paper for all three. W: Why not？ M: The professors won't let me even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length. W: That's too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic？ M: Hmm. What do you mean？ Do you have something in mind？ W: Well, let's see. Hmm... Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, ohh.., write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and, uh, your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on British foreign policy, and, OK, and your English paper on an analysis of some Romantic poems. M: Hey, that's not a bad idea! I've already started the research for one of the papers, so I can use that. What can I do to repay you？ W: You want to write up my chemistry paper for me？ M: I'd love to, but I've never taken chemistry, so I'm not sure you'd like the results. W: Oh well, no thanks necessary then. I'll do it myself. Have a good weekend, and try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big circles under your eyes. M: OK, I'll try. See you later. (23) A．Writing papers for his classes. B．Preparing for the coming exam in the library. C．Doing extra work in the chemistry lab. D．Working overtime at a library.

W. All right. M: Ah, ah. Would you like a cup of tea？ W. No, no, I'm fine. M. All right. W: Thanks. M. Well, could you describe the two people who robbed the bank for this report we're filling out here？ Now anything at all that you could remember would be extremely helpful to US. W. Well, just, I tell you I remember basically what I said before. M: That's all right. W: The man was tall, about six feet, and he had dark hair. M. Dark hair. W: And he had a mustache. M. Very good. All right. Did he have any other distinguishing marks, I mean, scars for example, anything like that？ W: Scars, no, none of that I can remember. M. Do you remember how old he was by any chance？ W. Eh, well, I, I guess around thirty. M. Around thirty. W. Maybe younger, give a take of a few years. M. All right. Do you remember anything about what he might be wearing？ W: Yes, he, he had on a dark sweater, solid color. You know, the kind of color young people fancy nowadays. M: Anything else that strikes you at the moment？ W: I, I remember he was wearing a light shirt under the sweater, a cotton one with dark, I think, dark stripes. It looks like a good brand. M: Ah, very good. W: Yes, yes. M. Mm, now, all right. Can you tell us anything about the woman robber, Mrs. Harrison？ W: Well, I remember that she did most of the talking. She had a gun pointed at us and she told us to lie down on the floor and not to move if we knew what was good for us. I, I remember I've just thought like she was pointing the gun right at me and my little daughter was sitting right next to me and she, she was just so frightened. M. Um, Mrs. Harrison, could you describe her for us？ W: She was wearing a wool sweater. M: Ah, very good. W: I remember it was a dark color, navy blue or dark gray. M: Dark gray？ W: And I guess she was in her late twenties. Her hair was short, very short and curly. M: Do you remember how tall she was？ W: Ah, about the same as myself, around five four. M: Five four. All right. Do you, uh, remember anything else about this woman？ W: Yes, I remember the woman was wearing a pendant or a locket around her neck. I remember it specifically because I was then near the counter next to the bank manager and my little daughter started to cry. M: Ah. W: And this woman came up and said: "Shut your damn kid up, lady!" So I got a good look at her and she was pulling on the chain and playing with it, a pendant. M: Oh？ W: It was gold, well, anyway, lookes like gold. And it had a strange shape. M: Mm, ah, now, did either of them have any other noticeable characteristics, Mrs. Harrison？ Now, just take a minute. W: Eh, no, I don't. M: Think about this. W: No, no, this is really all I can remember. M: Well, did either of them wear glasses？ W: No, no, I'm sure of that. M: All right, Mrs. Harrison. I really appreciate what you've been through today. I'm just going to ask you to look at some photographs before you leave if you don't mind. It won't take very long. Could you do that for me？ W: Ah, all right. M. Would you like to step this way with me, please？ W. OK, sure. M. Thank you. What strikes the woman most about the male robber is his A．clothes. B．age. C．physique. D．appearance.

Currently there are some 20,000 chemicals in use, but the scientists only have detailed information around 1,000 of them.To see the advantages of GM food you have only to consider the recent press revelation that the average lettuce receives eleven pesticide applications before it reaches the supermarket shelf.I’m sure chemicals and their role in disease will become a big issue in the 21st century as the population of the developed world worries increasingly about its health. The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion.It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either.What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture. The world has 800 million hungry people.Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution.Now we’re on the edge of a new one: a genetic revolution. It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM food.It is true that for the next years or so GM crops may be too expensive. 6. According to the passage, food supplies have been increased by all the following except_____________. A.pesticides B.artificial fertilizers C.improved varieties D.transportation 7.How many chemicals are still less familiar to the scientists？() A.20,000. B.1,000 C.19,000 D.21,000. 8.Why will people prefer GM food in the future？() A.Because it uses less pesticides. B.Because it is much cheaper. C.Because the production is increased. D.Because it is organic food. 9.Which of the following is NOT true？() A.By 2050, the world population will grow to ten or eleven billion. B.In the 21st century, GM food will take the place of conventional food. C.More and more people will reduce the overall land available for farming. D.More and more people will consume more food and occupy more space. 10.The author’s attitude towards GM food is _______. A.negative B.positive C.critical D.uncertain

1. Always Start the Negotiations. You must initiate the process. This is because whoever controls the start of the negotiations tends to control where they end. If you let the other party start negotiations, you will be constantly giving up control, often without even realizing it. For instance, when you ask someone what his project budget is, you are allowing him to start the negotiations. You will then spend your time chasing his number rather than finding the best solution. So, never let the other party control the negotiations. 2. Always Negotiate in Writing. The purpose of negotiations is to arrive at a formal written agreement, not tell a story or spend time talking. From the first moment you begin a proposal, you should create a document and take it to the client. It will include all the points of agreement and become real to the prospective customer. Negotiating first and then having to create a document adds unnecessary time to a transaction. But if you build your written agreement as you negotiate, you are prepared to ask for a signature the moment the decision to buy is made. 3. Always Stay Cool. The negotiation table can be loaded with agendas, egos and emotions. Great negotiators know how to stay cool, providing leadership and solutions, while the rest of the room becomes insanely invested in personal agendas and useless emotions. 27 Crying, getting angry and blowing off steam may make you feel good, but such behavior. will not benefit you while negotiating. When the rest of the room gets emotional, stay cool and use logic to negotiate and close. 1. If you let the other party start negotiations, you will be completely grasp the control, often without even realizing it. 2. So, never let both parties control the negotiations. 3. Negotiating first and then having to create a document doesn’t need necessary time to a transaction. 4. Great negotiators know how to stay cool, providing leadership and solutions, while the rest of the room becomes wild or helpless during the negotiation. 5. When the rest of the room gets out of control, stay cool and use logic to negotiate and close.
