24、ts cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher.

The many interviews carried

26、on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can hel

27、p the parent convert his natural paternal interest into productive channels.

28、 activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the same time, enjoying the work.Too often, however, teachers conferences with parents are devoted to petty

29、 accounts of childrens offences, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents minds for the best utilization of the many hours that

30、 the child spends out of the classroom.In this way, the school and the home join forces in stimulating the fullest development of youngsters capacities.（分数：5.00）(1).A method of parent-teacher communication NOT mentioned or referred to by the author is A.home training. B.demonstration lesson. C.paren

31、t-teacher interviews.

B.is satisfied with present relationships between home and school. C.feels that the traditional

32、 program in mathematics is slightly superior to the development program. D.feels that parent-teacher interviews can be made much more constructive than they are at present.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The authors primary purpose in writing this passage is to A.improve the teaching of mathematics. B.tell par

33、ents to pay more attention to the guidance of teachers in the matter. C.help ensure that every childs capacities are fully developed when leaving school. D.urge the use of a much underused resource-the parent.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The phrase “an important role in enlightening parents“ in the third pa

34、ragraph most probably means an important role in A.causing parents to understand. B.persuading parents. C.understanding parents. D.discussing with parents.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The attitude of the author towards the role of parents is A.positive. B.negative. C.doubtful. D.unclear.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、B

35、Passage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but if its not red or yellow, it doesnt sell. According to James Crowe, chief executive of the Worcesterbased research company, Scintilla, the color of a product can dictate the strength of its sales.His company has pioneered a m

36、ethod of testing consumer response to color which he claims can predict, with 90% accuracy, sales of a new product for up to 18 months after the launch. The method, “Chromtest“, has been used to test everything from ladies dresses to sunglasses. Clients include Parsifal Lager, Amir Fashions, Colorol

38、lly guarantee that two of the shades would be most popular with 80% of the people interviewed,“ he said. “Products are associated with lifestyle: most kitchens are now in wood so if you make toasters you dont want a color that is unsuitable.“ Mr. Crowe, a former lecturer at the Institute of Marketin

39、g, formed Scintilla in 1992 with the help of a $ 5,000 second mortgage. First year turnover was $100,000. This year with 30 staff it will be ten times that. Chromtest, which was developed with the help of Crowes artist wife, Susanne, now accounts for around 70% of turnover and provides most of the p

40、rofits.Crowe admits that British companies still have their doubts, though he says a few retailers now insist that products are color screened before they are allowed on their shelves. He contrasts this with European manufacturers who commission over half the companys works.European tests do vary dr

41、amatically, however, and Crowe argues that, as with branding, color and design for pan-European products carry numerous pitfalls. For example, a recent test of a brown dinner service in Britain, Germany and France shows that while consumers in the first two countries like the product, Parisians will

When factored clients submit customer orders for credit approval, the credit department analyzes the financial condition and credit wo

46、rthiness of the customer, and then makes a decision to approve or decline the order. The department must then monitor the condition of approved customers and collect all due receivables.

He must develop the factors credit policies in consultation with senior factoring a
