Since 1980, the United States International Trade Commission(ITC) has received about 280 complaints alleging damage f

13、rom imports that benefit from subsidies(补贴) by foreign governments. Another 340 charge that foreign companies “dumped” their products in the United States at “less than fair value”. Even when no unfair practices are claimed, the simple claim that an industry has been injured by imports is sufficient

14、 grounds to seek relief(救济).Contrary to the general impression, this request for import relief has hurt more companies than it has helped. As corporations begin to function globally, they develop a complicated web of marketing, production, and research relationships. The complexity of these relation

15、ships makes it unlikely that a system of import relief laws will meet the strategic needs of all the units under the same parent company. Internationalization increases the danger that foreign companies will use import relief laws against the very companies the laws were designed to protect. Suppose

16、 a United States-owned company establishes an overseas plant to manufacture a product while its competitor makes the same product in the United States. If the competitor can prove injury from the importsand that the United States company received a subsidy from a foreign government to build its plan

17、t abroadthe United States companys products will be uncompetitive in the United States, since they would be subject to duties.Perhaps the most shameful case occurred when the ITC investigated allegations(控诉) that Canadian companies were injuring the United States salt industry by dumping rock salt,

18、used to deice roads. The bizarre aspect of the complaint was that a foreign conglomerate(联合企业) with United States operations was crying for help against a United States company with foreign operations. The “United States” company claiming injury was a unit of a Dutch conglomerate, while the “Canadia

19、n” companies included a unit of a Chicago firm that was the second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.25.

20、C. warning that the application of laws affecting trade frequently has unintended consequencesD. advocating the use of trade restrictions for “dumped” products but not for other imports26.

21、ucts in the US at less than fair market value.B. A foreign competitor has greatly increased the volume of products shipped to the US.C. The company requesting import relief has been banned from exporting products.D. The company requesting import relief has been injured by the sale of imports in the

23、ns.D. Those helping one unit within a parent company wont necessarily help other units.CMaru is a popular international star. Every day, millions of people watch his videos on the Internet. But there is something about Maru that may surprise you. He is a cat.There are many famous Internet cats. Some

24、 cats are famous for their videos like Maru. The woman who owns Maru puts new videos on Youtube often. People love to see what Maru is doing. Another famous cat is called “Grumpy Cat”. Grumpy Cat looks as if she is angry all the time and she usually appears in pictures.Pictures are a popular way cat

25、s exist (存在) on the Internet. Some are memes (an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture), like 3Grumpy Cat. These cat picture memes often include funny words. They use wrong words as if the cat is speaking in a strange form of English.One of the most famous cat

26、memes is called “I can has cheezburger”. The picture was the first on a website about cat memes. This website is even called “I can has cheezburger”. Ben Huh bought the small website in 2007. And today, it is part of a group of sites. He earns millions of dollars every year managing them.But why do

27、people on the Internet like cats so much? How can websites like these be successful? Some experts believe that cats amaze us. Often, it is very difficult to train a cat. So, when people see a cat do something amazing, they know it did the trick without training.Or maybe people just love seeing cats

28、on the Internet because cats are cute. We may never know the answer. But we do know one thing. Cats will be on the Internet for a long time. Matt Smith, who produces videos and pictures for the Internet, explains, “There will always be more cats on the Internet because so many people have cats. That

Unclear.DEveryone looks forward to progress, whether in ones personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a persons ability to change the way he is living at the moment. P

32、rogress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”

33、, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communicat

34、ion gadgets, such as mobile phones and ipads, people often do not take the effect to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the persons presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the othe

35、r person off.With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could eve

36、r have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, t

37、he demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only wit

38、h progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. Ther

39、e is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on peoples attitude.

44、ue to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the suns rays. 37 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better heart health.

45、duced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modem society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground.
