填空题 Abbey: You can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are! Marlin: I began making some dietary and lifestyle changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly. Maggie: During my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost ail that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It's not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it." Belinda: If you are on a diet, you're always hungry, You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth watering food while you tuck a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.

填空题Mark Lilla: Young clients often have not set up their credit ratings. Many of them do not have steady in-comes. They might have difficulty borrowing money from an agency in business to make loans. Parents or relatives are often their best source of loans. Of course, the parents or relatives would have to have money available and be willing to lend it. You might even get an interest-free loan. Nevertheless, a parent or relative who lends should receive interest the same as any other lender. Chris Roddy: For most consumers the cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank. Banks are such a good source of installment loans that it may run for a year or up to three years. Most banks also make single payment loans to consumers for short periods at 30, 60, or 90 days. A typical interest rate is 3 cents per $ 100 per day. Suppose that you used $ 100 of your credit and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90 cents. Karen Barber: Another possible source of loans is a life insurance strategy. Anyone who owns this type of insurance may borrow up to the amount of its cash value. The amount the insurance company will pay in case of death is reduced by the amount of the loan. For instance, suppose that someone with $ 10,000 of insurance borrows $ 2,000 and dies leaving the loan unpaid. The insurance company would pay only $ 8,000 to the person entitled to receive the money. Louise Richard: Borrowing from pawnbrokers is both simple and expensive. In exchange for a loan the borrower leaves some item of value such as jewelry, a camera, a musical instrument, or clothing. Usually the amount of money received is far less than the actual value of the item left. When a borrower repays the loan plus interest, the pawnbroker gives the item back. If the loan is not paid within a year, the pawnbroker gets his or her money by selling the item. Jodie Morse: When money is urgently needed, people may agree to pay any price for a loan. Too late, they may find themselves in the clutches of loan sharks. A loan shark is an unlicensed lender because their rates are higher than the law allows, sometimes 1,000 percent or more a year. Borrowers are hardly ever capable of repaying their loans. It is all they can do to pay the interest. Borrowers who fail to pay the interest on time have been threatened with injury. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note there are two extra statements. Statements A A person can borrow as much as his life insurance's cash value. B The lender gets huge profits. C The borrowers may not take as long as they want to repay their loans. D If the loan is not paid in a year, the item belongs to the lender. E Borrowing from their parents or relatives is the easiest or the best loan source for the young consumers. F The consumers without good credit can borrow money from their parents or relatives. G The interest rate of the commercial bank is the lowest. For example, the cost would be 360 cents if you borrowed $ 200 and repaid it in 60 days.

填空题Roy: Stand in front of the mirror and say, "Here is our future" five times without stop. A leader"s most important job at any organization is to lay out a road map to the future. If you can"t provide that direction, you"re a manager-not leader. Your vision must be real, practical, and something people can believe in. A good leader should have the guts to make decisions while there"s still risk in them. Fred: Identify five key areas that need improvement in your company or division and keep at them until you get them right. Your list might include such things as cost containment, quality, or customer satisfaction. And then set tough targets for each one, and hold people accountable for results. At last a good leader should measure, monitor, and review progress on a timely basis and reward results. Kevin: The internet lets your customers sound off and tell you exactly what they like or don"t like about your business. Listen to them. Get out into the markets you serve, and ask your customers for feedback. Make the necessary changes to improve service or else you may find yourself with fewer customers (and eventually, out of business). Victor: Your staff is your most important asset-in good times and in bad. Hire ambitious people who are team-builders and good communicators, who can lead the organization in turbulent times without panicking. Nurture and reward the top 20% of your staff who produce 80% of the result, and actively weed out the bottom 10% who give you 80% of the headaches. Herbert Keep your moral compass at all times especially when you need to make a difficult decision. Make sure you also have a management team what you trust and respect.

It was five or six so-called installations made of bits of plastic, wood and paper that 2 just to have been thrown on the floor. It was a mess, basically—just like the floor in my sister"s house when my two-year-old nephew"s left all his toys out, but less 3 . Come to think of it, 4 you had given those bits of plastic, wood and paper to ray nephew, he could probably have 5 something just as good. I guess, sometimes, the cleaners end up throwing art like that in the bins at the end of the day, 6 they must find it hard to work out what"s an exhibit and what"s just 7 I think that if a painting or an installation looks like something I could have done myself in fifteen minutes, it doesn"t 8 to be called art.

填空题Richard: In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I can't help saying inwardly: Hello, cigarette, my old friend, I'm coming to meet you again. Stanton: Many people believe smokers have the right to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldn't have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. We're talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if you're talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, it's 100 times greater. Davis: According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. That's 3,000 lung cancer deaths, 11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000. James: Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's indoor air program's result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. We've seen that again and again wherever we've looked all over the United States. Winston: Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations. Statements A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death. B. Smokers have the right to smoke. C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations. D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancer-inducing air pollutants. E. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse. F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness. G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.

填空题Mr. Fisher I'm an accountant and earn a good enough salary to live comfortably. Basically I'm family man, as long as I have a job which enables me to earn enough money to live, I'm happy. I find a comfortable life compensates for the fact that I have a routine life and three weeks holiday per year. I enjoy my profession up to a point, but it certainly doesn't rule my life. As soon as I get home I forget about the office. I would say basically I work to live. Miss Burnes I'm a school teacher and I like my job very much. Work plays one of the most important roles in my life. It gives me the satisfaction I need and a role in society. As far as I am concerned, I must enjoy whatever I do—even if the salary is low—otherwise I feel it isn't worth doing. Mr. Evans I used to work in industry. At that time I had a good salary and a job which involved a lot of travelling abroad. I always felt I was in the wrong job. I felt tense all the time and I suddenly realized that, in spite of security and what seemed to my friends to be an exciting job, I'd stopping enjoying simple but important things. So five years ago, I gave up the job and became a journalist and photographer. I'm very happy now because I'm doing what I want to do. Mr. Smith I'm satisfied with my job. It's coming to grips with the problems of my subject and with the problems of teaching in the University. Clearly this is the type of satisfaction that most people doing what we call in England "white collar" jobs. This is quite different from the sort of craftsman, who is either working with his hands or with his skills on a machine, or from people perhaps who are using artistic skills which are of different character. They get the sort of physical job satisfaction from their jobs. But what I get is different. Mrs. Kramer I think in our present day society, for most people work has very little value at all. Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do things which are either totally futile and totally useless or have very little justification whatsoever, and for most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive, to pay for somewhere to live, to pay to feed our children. And that's also what I think of the value of my work.StatementsA. I regard work as a means to an end.B. My work gives me mental satisfaction.C. I live to work.D. To work is a human need.E. I changed my job to do what I enjoy.F. I work because I have to.G. Work gives me a sense of independenc
