单选题The article on the importance of organization suggests that people who have a______ structured daily schedule will accomplish the most.
单选题The smuggler in many ways is just another international businessman and his turnover would do credit to many international corporations.His business happens to be illegal and risky,but look at the stakes involved:$5 billion worth of heroin smuggled into the United States each year,and$1.5 billion in gold passing annually along smuggling pipelines to India and Indonesia,to France and Morocco,to Brazil and Turkey.Perhaps half of all the watches made in Switzerland reach their eventual wearers by some back door.Most of this illicit trade is carried on with all the efficiency of any multinational company.Entirely legitimate businesses.such as a travel bureau or an import-export agency,are also often fronts for smuggling organizations.One of the world’s largest gold smugglers also owned and operated the franchise for a leading make of British cars in a small Middle Eastern country.He made a good profit from both activities. A smuggling syndicate operates much like any other business.The boss is really a chief executive.He makes all the plans,establishes international contacts,and thinks up the smuggling routes and method but remains aloof from actual operations.He is aided by a handful of managers looking after such specialties as financing,travel(one reason why many smuggling syndicates find it handy to have their own travel agency),the bribing of airline or customs officials,and recruitment of couriers.or mules as they are called.There may also be someone in charge of local arrangements in the countries to which the smuggled goods is going. Another similarity between legitimate business and its illegal counterpart is price fluctuation.Just as the prices of products traded legally vary with quality and market conditions such as supply and demand,so do the prices of goods go up and down in the smuggling trade.Consider the price of drugs.Heroin and cannabis。in whatever form or by whatever name,cone in several grades,each with a going price.The wholesale price at which big dealers sell to big dealers is less than the street price.When the authorities are successful in reducing the supply buy seizures,the price of all grades rises.

单选题How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate is. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves." Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?
单选题This summer"s World Cup competition will see teams competing to play the world"s best football. But the football they play will not all be of the same kind. The fans expect different styles of play from Brazil, Germany, or Italy.
What makes Brazilian football Brazilian? Our style of playing football contrasts with the Europeans because of a combination of qualities of surprise, accuracy and good judgment. This style has won Brazil five world cups. Yet many Brazilian fans only count four of these Victories. In 1994, the team abandoned this style for modern, scientific training and tactics. The team won the cup, but in a boring way.
The Italians think differently. "To many Italians, the score 0:0 has a glorious quality, suggesting perfection," says the British football writer Simon Kuper. In the Italian culture, the idea of face is very important. This is why Italian teams are traditionally built around strong defenses. The Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff once said that Italian teams never exactly beat you. It"s just that you often lose to them.
In Holland, there is a tradition of decision making through argument and discussion. It is a society where everybody is expected to have a point of view. "Every Dutch player wants to control the game," says Arnold Muhren. "You play football with your brains and not your feet."
"A Dutch player argues," says Simon Kuper. "An English player obeys his superior. He is a soldier." The qualities valued in English football are military-strength, aggression and courage. This can make for exciting football. But it also means that the English find it difficult to use skillful players. David Beckham is usually criticized for his failure to defend—despite the fact that he is an attacker.
If the English like to fight, the Germans like to win. In recent years, Germany has tried to change its image as a country of ruthless efficiency and a desire for victory at all costs. But Germans are quite happy for these qualities to remain in their national football team. "Football is a simple game," Gary Lineker once said. "You kick a ball about for ninety minutes and in the end the Germans win."
It"s difficult to predict who will win this year"s World Cup. There is no strong favorite. But a look at the track record of previous winners shows that it is the nations with the strongest national characteristics in the football that perform best. It seems that you need to know where you come from if you want to get to the top.
