3、pact of traffic fumes on the brain. As roadways choke on traffic, researchers suspect that the tailpipe exhausted【 M1】 _ from cars and trucks especially tiny carbon particles already implicated heart disease, cancer and respiratory ailments may【 M2】 _ also injure brain cells the key to learning and
4、memory. New【 M3】 _ public-health studies and laboratory experiments suggest that, at every stage of life, traffic fumes exact a measuring toll on mental【 M4】 _ capacity, intelligence and emotional stability. Children in areas affected by high levels of emissions, on average, scored more poor on inte
5、lligence tests and were more【 M5】 _ prone to depression, anxiety and attention problems than children growing in cleaner air, separate research teams in New York,【 M6】 _ Boston, Beijing, and Krakow, Poland, found. And older men and women long exposing to higher levels of traffic-related particles【 M
6、7】 _ and ozone had memory and reasoning problems effectively added【 M8】 _ five years to her mental age, other university researchers in Boston【 M9】 _ reported this year. The emissions may also height the risk of【 M10】 _ Alzheimers disease and speed the effects of Parkinsons disease. “The evidence is
7、 growing that air pollution can affect the brain,“ says medical epidemiologist Heather Volk at USCs Keck School of Medicine. “We may be starting to realize the effects are broader than we realized.“ 1 【 M1】 2 【 M2】 3 【 M3】 4 【 M4】 5 【 M5】 6 【 M6】 7 【 M7】 8 【 M8】 9 【 M9】 10 【 M10】 10 The reliance on
8、credit reports in hiring is becoming widespread. A survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 60% of employers do credit checks for at least some positions. The use of credit checks is growing at time when the【 M1】 _ economy is making it hard for people to keep their records clea
9、nly.【 M2】 _ Delinquency rates on loans have been arising, according to a report【 M3】 _ issued last week by the American Bankers Association, driven by a weak job market and rising food and gasoline price.【 M4】 _ The biggest flaw with the use of credit checks in employment screening is in that it mak
10、es it difficult for many good people who【 M5】 _ need work to find. Employers who do credit checks operate under【 M6】 _ the assumption that having had trouble paying bills is a character flaw, but there is scant hard evidence to back this down.【 M7】 _ Many credit problems are due to factors outside o
11、f a persons control. Sarah Ford, an attorney with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, told a House committee last year which【 M8】 _ credit reports failed to provide insufficient context. “A credit【 M9】 _ report would not explain that a factory worker lost his job when his employer went
12、 out of business,“ she said. Or that “a mans credit was destroyed so he was the victim of identity theft or a【 M10】 _ predatory lending scam.“ Or that “a woman lost her job and her health coverage before developing breast cancer and incurring astronomical medical bills.“ 11 【 M1】 12 【 M2】 13 【 M3】 1

14、of its manpower output.【 M2】 _ There has to be a complete synchronization and rapport between the two sets: the producers and the users, happens in most of the【 M3】 _ countries, including the developing ones. There is no focus on the quality of education in terms of the depth and dimensions of teach
15、ing and in terms of syllabi, but technical education does have【 M4】 _ some quality control. There are rarely any revisions and up gradation of courses either in the light of the changes occurring in the given discipline, nor in terms of the country s manpower【 M5】 _ requirements. Higher education is
16、 basically financed by the Government and that too without any reference to quality and output. It lacks of【 M6】 _ philanthropic support either from the Non Government Organizations or from the corporate world. In this era of reforms, the time is not far when higher education, funding entirely by th
17、e【 M7】 _ Government, will be tossed into suddenly free and competitive market with sharply increased government funding. It will then be【 M8】 _ termed as Indias higher education open market, the initial impact on which will be largely negative. It is anticipated that many【 M9】 _ institutions at that
18、 time will get disintegrated, strangled by the loss of resources, ovenvhelming demand for resources that they would【 M10】 _ fail to provide, and the receivables they would not be able to recover. 21 【 M1】 22 【 M2】 23 【 M3】 24 【 M4】 25 【 M5】 26 【 M6】 27 【 M7】 28 【 M8】 29 【 M9】 30 【 M10】 30 Management
19、 jargon can alienate staff and leave bosses looking untrustworthy and weak, according to a survey published on Monday. Managers who spoke of “singing from the same hymn sheet“ could find themselves sing solo, the survey said. Workers said such phrases【 M1】 _ as “blue sky thinking“, “the helicopter v
20、iew“ and “heads up“ could lead to alienation and low moral in the office.【 M2】 _ The survey, carried out by YouGov to mark the 15th anniversary of Investors in People, a government-backed training initial, found 37【 M3】 _ percent of the 2,900 questioned believed jargon led to mistrust and encouraged
21、 a feeling of inadequacy. Bosses seemed oblivious to the dangers, with more than half, believing it to be harmful. That could【 M4】 _ explain why workers perceived it to be on rise, with nearly 40 percent【 M5】 _ believing it was increasingly creeping into office banter. Almost two-thirds of employees
22、 would prefer to no jargon at work. Cliches【 M6】 _ such as “getting our ducks in a row“ might just be lining up trouble, though. Nicola Clark, director at Investors in People, said: “ Whilst jargon can be useful shorthand at times, managers need to be more alert to when and how they use them.“【 M7】
