A fresh breeze spread the blaze up the slopes of Potters Hill and, before firemen c
26、ould even reach the area, it had engulfed the hall, home of the Quirk-Browne family for over a hundred years.The present owner, Col. Edward Quirk-Browne narrowly escaped with his life.Taking his customary afternoon nap, he was awoken by the smell of smoke and found himself trapped in his bedroom, th
27、e staircase and most of the ground floor being already well ablaze.Fortunately he was able to get through to the fire brigade before the telephone lines were destroyed and, with help on the way, he scrambled up on to the roof, clutching two Holbein miniatures and his Indian Army medals, which were t
28、he only things saved out of the entire contents of the house.By the time the brigade arrived it was impossible to approach the building and get a ladder up to him, so the Colonel was, in fact, lifted off the roof in the nick of time before it collapsed, by an RAF helicopter from nearby Rampling Airb
29、ase.Col. Quirk-Browne and his wife, who fortunately was visiting friends at the time of the fire, are staying with friends at Chichester while they decide on their plans for the future. He said: “ There is nothing left of the house, only a shell. It will have to be demolished. It would be far too ex
30、pensive to rebuild it as it was, but it may be possible to build a more modest house on the same site. “56 Brownlow Hall was built_.（A）on the River Don（B） 60 years ago near South Dean（C） sometime in the 19th century（D）at the foot of Potters Hill57 Col. Quirk Browne was lucky to be able to telephone

If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the U
34、nited States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications , even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
35、English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal
36、.The employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys principal language has an opportunity to fast -forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly.

Scientists
39、have discovered about 3 , 500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see“ with the hair
40、s on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. O
41、ne egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases.【T1】They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get i
42、t on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of r
43、estaurants and other places where food is prepared.【T2】Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn“ how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn“ how to deal with others.
44、 At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.66 How cockroache

They absorb carbon dioxidea greenhouse gasfrom the at
46、mosphere and store it as carbon while releasing oxygen, a process for which forests have been called “the lungs of the planet“. The roots of trees have been thought to trap sediments and nutrients in the soil. Trees have also been credited with steadying the flow of these rivers, keeping it relative
47、ly constant through wet and dry seasons, thus preventing both drought and flooding. It is all nonsense, concludes a research published this week. A four-year international study led by researchers at the University of Newcastle, in Britain, and the Free University of Amsterdam, identifies several my
48、ths about the link between forests and water. For example, in arid and semiarid areas, trees consume far more water than they trap. And it is not the trees that catch sediments and nutrients, and steady the flow of the rivers, but the fact that the soil has not been compressed.The World Commission o
49、n Water estimates that the demand for water will increase by around 50% in the next 30 years. Moreover, around 4 billion peopleone half of the worlds population will live in conditions of severe water stress, meaning they will not have enough water for drinking and washing to stay healthy, by 2025.The government of South Africa has been
