填空题Canadians like to think that although they are the junior partner in their trade relations with the United States, the 174 billion barrels of proven reserves in the oil sands of Alberta provide a powerful ace up their sleeve in any dealings with their energy-hungry neighbor. That belief has now been shaken by an American law that appears to prohibit American government agencies from buying crude produced in the oil sands of the western province. (41) . But that is the effect of banning federal agencies from buying alternative or synthetic fuel, including that from non-conventional sources, if their production and use result in more greenhouse gases than conventional oil. Transforming Alberta's tarry muck into a barrel of oil is an energy-intensive process that produces about three times the emissions of a barrel of conventional light sweet crude. Having woken belatedly to the danger, the Canadian government is now scrambling to secure an exception. Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador in Washington, has written to America's secretary of defense, Robert Gates (whose department is a big purchaser of Canadian oil), stressing American dependence on Canadian oil, electricity, natural gas and uranium imports, and noting that some of the biggest players in the Alberta oil patch are American companies. Mr. Wilson added plaintively that both George Bush and his energy secretary, Samuel Bodman, have publicly welcomed expanded oil-sands production, given the increased contribution to American energy security. (42) . The fear in Canada is that the American purchasing restriction, which at present applies only to federal agencies, is the start of a wholesale shift to greener as well as more protectionist policies under a Congress and potentially a White House controlled by the Democrats. (43) . Yet environmentalists point out that Canada is now paying for its own foot-dragging at the federal level on green initiatives. Having signed the Kyoto agreement under a previous liberal government, Canada did little to stop its emissions rising. They are now almost 35% above the Kyoto target. And although Mr. Baird likes to describe his plan as tough, it will not bring Canada into line with Kyoto. (44) . The vagueness of the proposed federal rules did not stop the premier of Alberta, Ed Stelmach, from giving a define warning that he will stand up for the interests of Albertans (read oil industry) and will be examining the constitution to ensure that the federal government's proposed plan does not intrude on provincial jurisdiction. His province has one of the weakest environmental regimes in Canada. (45) . But even if a deal is reached with the outgoing Bush administration, any exception for Canada may be short-lived if greening Democrats take the White House in November. A. Since 1999, Canada has been the largest supplier of U. S. crude and refined oil imports. In 2007, Canadian crude oil and petroleum products represented 18% of U. S. crude oil imports, at nearly 2.5 million barrels per clay. From 2005 to 2007, the volume of Canadian crude oil exports to the United States increased by 7.4% per year. B. John Baird, the Canadian environment minister, referred this week to the American move when he unveiled new proposals to reduce industrial emissions in Canada, including the oil sands, by 20% by 2020. Big states like California were making similar pronouncements, he told reporters. The oil sands were an important national resource, but had to be expanded in an environmentally friendly way. C. As Canada's representative in Washington, Mr. Wilson is the point man on Canada's lobbying efforts either to kill the Buy American clause, or to get a special exemption for Canada. D. The Energy Independence and Security Act 2007 did not set out to discriminate against Canada, America's biggest supplier of oil. E. With energy exports, mainly from Alberta, driving the Canadian economy, this is not a happy thought for Canadians. F. Although the Canadian embassy says that there has been no official response to Mr. Wilson's letter, there are reports of talks going on in Washington aimed at addressing Canada's concerns. G. The rules for the oil sands, now the fastest growing source of greenhouse gases, have yet to be finalized and will not come into force until 2010. Furthermore, they rely on carbon capture, a promising but unproven technology.

填空题每当我和朋友在乡间的时候,我知道随时随刻,除非雨真下到头上,某君必会突然说道,“散步去!”其口气之强硬,是其他任何情况下都见不到的。人们总以为,去散步的想法有着与生俱来的尊贵与高尚。有如此念头的人觉得,每当他看到有人舒舒服服坐在椅子上看书,他就有权力将散步的愿望加诸其身。对于一个老朋友,简单地说声“不”倒也省事,但对于一般相识,你就必须找出一个借口。“我很想去,但是——”我能找到的借口不外乎“我要写些信”。这个老套式有三方面不能尽如人意:(1)人家不相信。(2)迫于情势,你不得不从椅子上起来,走向写字台,临时拼凑一封给某人的信,直到那位暴走神磨磨蹭蹭地离开房间,他只是不敢当面发作,骂你是骗子或伪君子而已。(3)星期天早上行不通。“今天晚上信才寄得出去”,一句话就把你堵死了,于是你只好乖乖地跟着走。

[A] Market Data[B] Market Prosperity[C] Secret of Success[D]
Questions to Ask[E] Understanding Your Market[F] Market
Research Successful small business expansions and new job
formation lead the way in creating new markets, innovations and jobs that fuel
economic growth and prosperity. In recognition of the importance
of small business to a strong economy, the U. S. Small Business Administration
(SBA) is pleased to help meet the information needs of existing business owners
and aspiring entrepreneurs.41. ______ Your business will not
succeed just because you want it to succeed. Determining if there is a market
for your products or services is the most critical item of planning. Once you
decide on your product or service, you must analyze your market--a process
involving interviewing competitors, suppliers and new customers.
Before you begin researching your market, however, you should take a
brief, but close, look at your product or service from an objective standpoint.
You should ask yourself the following questions: -- Is this
product or service in constant demand? -- How many competitors
provide the same service or product? -- Can I create a demand
for my product or service? -- Can I compete effectively in
price, quality and delivery? —Can I price my product or service
to assure a profit? Once you are satisfied that these
preliminary questions are answered, move on to performing your research.42.
______. It is extremely beneficial to investigate a market
because the information gathered can increase your profit potential.
Specifically, it: -- Indicates alternative sales approaches to
your market. -- Provides a more accurate base for making profit
assumptions. -- Aids in the organization of marketing
activities. -- Assists in the development of critical
short/mid-term goals. -- Helps establish your market's profit
boundaries. Unfortunately, many entrepreneurs fail to complete
this critical section of their business plan. Collecting research data can be
frustrating unless you have defined your goals and organized the collection and
analysis process. To prevent this from happening, you must plan how you will
collect, sort and analyze the information. Maintain a notebook and file in which
to store, organize and retrieve data as needed.43. ______.
Your research should ask these questions.. -- Who are your
customers? -- Where are they located? -- What
are their needs and resources? -- Is your service or product
essential in their operations pr activities? — Can the customer
afford your service or product? — Where can you create a demand
for your service or product? -- What areas within your market
are declining or growing? -- What is the general economy of your
service or product area?44. ______. Knowing your market
requires an understanding not only of your product, but also of your customers'
socioeconomic characteristics. This information will serve as a map in letting
you know what is ahead. More market information can be found
in, -- Library listings of trade associations and
journals. -- Regional planning organizations' studies on growth
trends. -- Banks, realtors and insurance companies.
—Competitors. -- Customer surveys in your market
area. Once you have obtained and analyzed this information, it
will become the foundation of your business plan. Research information is
important because it supports the basic assumptions in your financial
projection--your reason for going into business.45. ______
To be successful, a small business owner must know the market. Market
research is simply an orderly, objective way of learning about people--the
people who will buy from you.

填空题Though hardly as unwelcome as death or taxes, college entrance exams are just as inevitable and almost as dreaded by high school students. As the testing dates loom for juniors and seniors for the SAT (formerly called the Scholastic Assessment Test) and the American College Test, or ACT, most students are looking for an edge, any edge, in the competition. And as the number of homes with computers continues to rise, test publishers and software developers have been quick to recognize a growing niche. With the market for test preparation materials at all levels estimated at $540 million annually, they have jumped on the tech bandwagon to produce computerized tutorials that promise to boost scores. (41)"We believe that it's important for a student to be prepared to take the tests," notes Don Powers, a research scientist at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N. J. , the organization that administers the SAT for the College Board. "It's important to know how to take the test so that you won't get a score that's lower than you deserve." But, he adds, "none of the rigorous scientific evidence that we have seen supports these promises" to raise test scores. (42) Several points, however, do weigh in favor of software as opposed to traditional test-preparation. Cost is a big one. (43) Convenience is another, as the College Board points out in touting its new sofware.Afew points to remember when evaluating various test-prep software packages: (44) The exams, though they may seem mystical to the test taker, are not magic and certainly not random. There is little variation in the strategies the programs use to boost test scores because there is little variation in how the test are developed. Largely, what differentiates one program from another is the computer interface, which can make the software more—or less—user-friendly, and such features as automated tracking of student progress. (45) A crash course with test prep software is never an alternative to careful, long-term preparation for taking the exams. Some students are better equipped to respond to the self-paced, self-motivated approach software offers than others, Powers notes. Although parents may be in the market for what they consider "serious" study aids, their children, who are the ones taking the tests, may appreciate the programs that offer a little humor. Finally, as programs frequently point out, the SAT and ACT, while important to college admissions officers, are only one element of a successful college application.[A] A test prep course with a live instructor can cost as much as $700. Test-prep software costs $30 to $80.[B] Most of the programs, in fact, emphasize the importance of "guessing strategies" and eliminating unlikely answers to improve scores.[C] Unlike many programs, this one can give you a quick, easy and comfortable way to achieve a high score.[D] "I would rather use the program than take a preparation course, because I could do this on my own time and in my own home," notes one student in the College Board materials.[E] Although at least one of the test programs asks you how long you have to prepare to take the examination in order to customize the learnign curve, all recommend spending a period of weeks, not hours, using the software.[F] But though many programs offer money-back guarantees, professional test writers tend to scoff at those claims.
