What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise,

8、 they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work. Even in times of business recession, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off. One result of this practice is that the

9、 Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future. It is not surprising that devotion to one s company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firm s in

10、terests before those of his immediate family. The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short perio

11、d of time. They can afford to take a longer perspective than their western counterparts. This marriage between the employee and the company the consequence of lifetime employment may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing

16、)were littering her hometown beach in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. When she learned that it takes five years for the remains of a cigarette to disintegrate(解体 ), she decided to take action. Joying launched a “No Butts on the Beach“ campaign. She raised money and awareness about the need to keep th

17、e beaches clean. With the help of others, Joying also bought or received donations of gallon-size plastic ice-cream buckets. The buckets were filled with sand, and placed at all public-access areas of the beach. The buckets allowed people to dispose of their cigarettes before hitting the beach. Two

18、years later, Joying says the buckets are full and the beach is nearly free of cigarette debris(残片 ). 2 People who live in or visit Steamboat Springs, Colorado, have Carter Dunham to thank for a new state wildlife refuge that preserves 20 acres of marshland and many species of wildlife. Carter and ot

19、her students wrote a management plan for the area around the Yampa River. The plan was part of a class project when Carter was a freshman at Steamboat Springs High School. Working with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, Carter and his classmates mapped the area and species of animals living there. T

20、hey also made decisions about, among other things, where fences and parking areas should be built. 3 Barbara Brown and her friends collect oil. It started as a project for their 4H Club after one of the girls noticed her father using motor oil to kill weeds on their farm in Victoria, Texas. They did

21、 some research and discovered that oil can contaminate ground water a real danger in rural areas, where people live off the water on their land. The girls researched ways to recycle oil and worked with a local oil-recycling company on the issue. Now, the “Don t Be Crude“ program runs oil-collection

22、sites tanks that hold up to 460 gallons where people in the community can dispose of their oil. 4 Five years ago, 11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream for all the people in Africa to have clean drinking water. His dream began in the first grade when he learned that people were

23、dying because they didnt have clean water, and that as little as $70 could build a well. “We really take water for granted, “ says Ryan, of Kemptville, Ontario, in Canada. “In other countries, you have to plan for it. “ Ryan earned the first $70 by doing extra chores(零工 ), but with the help of other

24、s, he has since raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. His efforts led to the start of the Ryan s Well Foundation, which raises money for clean water and health-related services for people in African countries and developing countries. A.

27、ts in the Sky If someone asked you, “What color is the sky?“ I expect that you would answer, “Blue. “ I am afraid that you would be wrong. The sky has no color. When we see blue, we are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air. We know that there is air all

28、 around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. What is the sky? The sky is sp

29、ace. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space. They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal. The moon is about 384, 000 kilometers away fro

30、m the earth. An airplane cann t fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket. I am sure that you are asking, “How does a rocket fly?“ If you want to know, get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big. Do not tie up the neck of the balloon. Le

31、t go! The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly. The air inside the balloon tries to get out. It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air. It does not need wings like an airplane. This is how a rocket works. It is not made of rubber(橡胶 )like

32、a balloon, of course. It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong. There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket, the rocket is pushed up into the air. Rockets can fly far out into space. Rockets with men inside the

33、m have already reached the moon. Several rockets, without men inside them, have been sent to other worlds much farther away. One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space. 31 What color is the sky? （ A） It is blue. （ B） It is white. （ C） It is grey. （ D） It has no color. 32 When an airplan

34、e flies too high, _. （ A） the air will be too thin to support its wings （ B） the air will become thicker （ C） the air will exert pressure on it （ D） the air will disappear in no time 33 A rocket can fly to the moon because_. （ A） it looks like a balloon （ B） it is much lighter than an airplane （ C）

35、it doesn t have wings （ D） it works like an untied balloon 34 Which of the following statements about a rocket is NOT true? （ A） It can fly when there is no air. （ B） It can fly without wings. （ C） It is made of strong metal. （ D） It is propelled by burning gas inside it. 35 A rocket is pushed up in

36、to the air when_. （ A） hot gas rushes out of its head （ B） it is powered by gas （ C） hot gas rushes out of its bottom （ D） hot gas rushes out of its neck 35 Can Buildings Be Designed to Resist Terrorist Attack? In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, structural engineers

37、are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have been completely unthinkable; Can buildings be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts(爆炸 )inflicted by terrorists? Ten days after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Mu

38、ltidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research(MCEER)headquartered(总部在某地 )at UB traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Visiting the site as part of an MCEER reconnaissance(事先考查 )visit, they spent two days beginning the task of formulating

39、ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged but still are standing. “Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center, those buildings that are still standing, but that su

40、stained damage, “ said M. Bruneau, Ph. D. “Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing, while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performanc

41、e of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks, “ he added. Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate in startling(惊人的 )detail the monumental damage inflicted on the World Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity. One building a block away from the towers remains standing, but wa

42、s badly damaged. “This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column there that used to be part of that building, “ explained A. Whittaker, Ph. D. “The column became a missile that shot across the road, through the window and through the floor. “ The visit to the a

43、rea also revealed some surprises, according to the engineers. For example, the floor framing system in one of the adjacent buildings was quite rugged, allowing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris to remain intact. “Highly redundant ductile(有延展性的 )framing systems may provide a simple,

44、but robust strategy for blast resistance, “ he added. Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-bearing column fails. “We also need a better understanding of the mechanism of collapse, “ said A. Whittaker. “We need to find out what causes a bui

45、lding to collapse and how you can predict it. A. Reinhorn, Ph. D. noted that “Earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many buildings in the past. It induces dynamic response and extremely high stresses and deformations in structural components. Solutions developed for earthquake-resistant desi

46、gn may be directly applicable to blast engineering and terrorist-resistant design. Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present. 36 The question raised in the first paragraph is one_. （ A） that was asked by structural engineers a mo

47、nth ago （ B） that is too difficult for structural engineers to answer even now （ C） that was never imagined before the terrorist attack （ D） that terrorists are eager to find a solution to 37 The project funded by the National Science Foundation_. （ A） was first proposed by some engineers at UB （ B）

48、 took about two days to complete （ C） was to investigate the damage caused by the terrorist attack （ D） was to find out why some buildings could survive the blasts 38 The column mentioned by Dr. Whittaker_. （ A） was part of the building close to the World Trade Center （ B） was part of the World Trad

49、e Center （ C） was shot through the window and the floor of the World Trade Center （ D） damaged many buildings in the vicinity of the World Trade Center 39 A surprising discovery made by the investigators during their visit to ground zero is that_. （ A） floors in the adjacent building remain undamaged （ B） some floor framing systems demonstrate resistance to explosion （ C） simple floor framing systems are more blast resistant （ D） floors in one of the adjacent building
