However, nearly all require some break in one's career in order to attend school full time. Part time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one' s career and family time.Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in today's world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student's convenience with due regard to all life' s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.41 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part time education?（A）It requires some break in one' s career.（B）It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.（C）It affects one's career.（D）It gives the student less time to share with the family.42 Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?（A）The student may choose his or her own pace.（B）The student may study at any time to his or her convenience.（C）They can pursue their chosen career while studying.（D）Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc.43 What benefit will distance learning program bring to a business?（A）Recruitment of more talented people.（B）Good image of the business.（C）Better cooperation with universities.（D）Further training of employees and business growth.44 Good distance learning program have the following characteristic EXCEPT______.（A）distance learning course is the same as students taking courses in campus（B）the result diploma or degree should be same as on campus study（C）professor-student relationship is strictly one to one all through the course（D）includes subject evaluation tool45 What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?（A）Professional growth.（B）Good relationship with the employer.（C）Good impression on the employer.（D）Higher salary.45 More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company' s executives, accountants, and security staff. And soanother computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.46 It can be concluded from the passage that______.（A）it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today（B）computer crimes are one of the most serious problems in the operation of financial institutions（C）computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detected（D）people commit computer crimes at the request of their company47 It is implied in the third paragraph that______.（A）many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered（B）the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem（C）most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes（D）most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck48 Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?（A）A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.（B）Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.（C）Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.（D）Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.49 The underlying reason for the computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that______.（A）they have skills formidably difficult for others to master（B）the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punished（C）the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals' words in open court（D）those who commit crimes do not mean bad50 What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?（A）With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.（B）They will be denied access to confidential records.（C）They may walk away and easily find another job.（D）They must leave the country or go to jail.50 Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture — one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald's. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging. The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but ratherbuilt their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.51 According to the passage, which of the following is true?（A）All international managers can learn culture.（B）Business diversity is not necessary.（C）Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.（D）Most people do not know foreign culture well.52 According to the author, the model of Pepsi ______.（A）is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around（B）is different from the model of McDonald' s（C）shows the reverse of globalization（D）has converged cultural differences53 The two schools of thought______.（A）both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures（B）both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries（C）admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world（D）Both A and B54 This article is supposed to be most useful for those______.（A）who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity（B）who have connections to more than one type of culture（C）who want to travel abroad（D）who want to run business on International Scale55 According to Fortune, successful international companies ______.（A）earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas（B）all have the quality of patience（C）will follow the overseas local cultures（D）adopt the policy of internationalization55 Aldous Huxley was a most unfortunate man.When he died in 1963 he must have expired in the confident belief that the event would be given wide coverage in the press the next day. After all, his career had not been without distinction. Where he made his big mistake was in dying on the same day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated. As a result Huxley got about three column inches at the bottom of page 27.In the same way the death of Victor Farris has gone widely unnoticed because he foolishly shuffled off this mortal coil at the same time as Mr.Konstantin Chernenko. Now, as you all know, Victor Farris was the chap who invented the paper clip. The paper milk carton too. And paper clips and milk cartons will be in use long after everyone has forgotten the name of the comrade who came between Andropov and whatever this new bloke is called.The same goes for the inventor of the supermarket trolley who died in Switzerland a few months ago. Fell off his trolley, so to speak. For all I know, he may be a household name in his own canton and they are putting up a statue of home wheeling his trolley, and are going to commemorate him on one of those ever-so-tasteful Swiss postage stamps we used to collect when we were younger and wiser, but I doubt if his name will be remembered outside the borders of his small country. Personally I forgot it within minutes of reading of his decease.Not that it matters.Somehow it is hard to imagine things like paper clips and supermarket trolleys having had a named inventor. It' s like discovering that at a particular moment of history a particular person invented the spoon,or the chair, orsocks.One assumes that these everyday objects just happened, or e-volved through natural selection.It isn't necessarily so. I read only the other day that Richard II invented the handkerchief. Almost everything else was invented either by Leonardo da Vinci(scissors, bicycles, helicopters, and probably spoons, socks and the Rubik cube as well)or by Benjamin Franklin(lightning-conductor, rocking-chair, bifocals)or else by JosephStalin(television).It's quite possible that Leonardo or Benjamin Franklin or Stalin also invented the supermarket trolley. Certainly it has been invented more than once. Hardly was Herr Edelweiss(or whatever the Swiss chap was called)in his grave, than news came of the death of Sylvan N. Goodman at the age of 86. Sylvan also invented the supermarket trolley or, as the Los Angeles Times report calls it, the shopping cart.Be that as it may, Herr Edelweiss or Sylvan Goodman, or both, did a grand job and made supermarket shopping far less hellish than it would otherwise be. The next step will be to get the trolleys out of the shops and into the streets. You could put an engine in the front and call it a car. Or give it big wheels and a canopy and call it a pram.The possibilities are endless.56 It can be inferred from the passage that Herr Edelweiss______.（A）was remembered by the people all over world（B）made a lot of money from his invention（C）was not very famous（D）was a business partner of Sylvan Goodman57 The author writes this article in order to illustrate that ______.（A）the names of the people who invented the most useful things are usually forgotten （B）everyday objects are invented and evolve through natural selection（C）many everyday objects are invented more than once（D）many famous people have passed away without being noticed58 Who probably invented spoons?（A）Leonardo da Vinci.（B）Benjamin Franklin.（C）Victor Farris.（D）A person unknown.59 By stating that Leonardo da Vinci invented helicopters, the author means______. （A）he really did it（B）he is a military scientist（C）he painted in one of his masterpieces a helicopters（D）people turn to ascribe inventions to him but they are wrong60 What can be inferred about Aldous Huxley?（A）His death was not reported by the press.（B）He was a famous inventor.（C）He made a very big mistake in his late years.（D）He died on the same day as John F.Kenneddy.60 The Food and Drag Administration said on Wednesday that it is trying to track down as many as 386 piglets that may have been genetically engineered and wrongfully sold into the U.S. food supply.The focus of the FDA investigation is on pigs raised by researchers at the University of Illinois in Ur-bana Champaign. They engineered the animals with two genes: one is a cow gene that increases milk production in the sow; the other, a synthetic gene, makes the milk easier for piglets to digest. The goal was to raise bigger pigs faster.There has been no evidence that either genetically altered plants or animals actually trigger human illness, but critics warn that potential side effects remain unknown. University officials say their tests showed the piglets were not born with the altered genes, but FDA roles require even the offspring of genetically engineered animals to be destroyed so they won' t get into the food supply.The FDA, in a quickly arranged news conference on Wednesday prompted by inquiries by USA TODAY, said the University of Illinois would face possible sanctions and fines for selling the piglets to a livestock broker, who in turn sold them to processing plants.Both the FDA and the university say the pigs that entered the market do not pose a risk to consumers. But the investigation follows action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in December to fine a Texas company that contaminated 500,000 bushels of soybeans with corn that had been genetically altered to produce a vaccine for pigs.Critics see such cases as evidence of the need for more government oversight of a burgeoning(新兴的)area of scientific research. "This is a small incident, but it' s incidents like this that could destroy consumer confidence and export confidence," says Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America. "We already have Europe shaky on biotech. The countries to which we export are going to look at this."The University of Illinois says it tested the DNA of every piglet eight times to make sure that the animal hadn't inherited the genetic engineering of its mother. Those piglets that did were put back into the study. Those that didn't were sold to the pig broker. "Any pig that was tested negative for the genes since 1999 has been sent off to market," says Charles Zukoski, vice chancellor for research.But FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford says that under the terms of the university' s agreement with the FDA, the researchers were forbidden to remove the piglets without FDA approval. "The University of Illinois failed to check with FDA to see whether or not the animals could be sold on the open market. And they were not to be used under any circumstance for food."The FDA is responsible for regulating and overseeing transgenic animals because such genetic manipulation is considered an unapproved animal drug.61 The 386 piglets wrongfully sold into food supply are from______.（A）Europe（B）an American research organization（C）a meat processing plant（D）an animal farm62 The purpose of the transgenic engineering research is to______. （A）get pigs of larger size in a shorter time（B）make sows produce more milk（C）make cows produce more milk（D）make pigs grow more lean meat63 The 4th paragraph shows that the University of Illinois ______. （A）was criticized by the FDA（B）is in great trouble（C）is required by the FDA to call back the sold piglets（D）may have to pay the penalty64 The FDA declares that the wrongfully sold piglets______. （A）may have side effects on consumers（B）may be harmful to consumers（C）are safe to consumers（D）may cause human illness65 It can be inferred from this passage that______.（A）all the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering （B）part of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering（C）none of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering（D）half of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering65 A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. What she says he didn't tell her is that it isn't approved for use in Canada. "I didn't know what liquid silicone was and he just called it 'liquid gold'", Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities."My upper lip is always numb and it bums." Barbiero says. Barbiero is spearheading(带头)a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. "The fact, a physician of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing." says lawyer Douglas Elliott.Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved for sale in Canada, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero's case, "...at the time of her first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved for sale in Canada by tile Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country (I)would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero's chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications."Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. "There's a larger message and that is: buyer beware," says Nancy Neilsen of Cosmetic Surgery Canada, "It's incumbent(负有义务的)on consumers to do their research."。
