单选题Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives. Aleem Walji works for Google.org -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company"s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats. Google.org"s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth. Google.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars. The creators of Google have promised to give Google.org about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.

单选题Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answers to the questions. The telephone is the most used piece of equipment (设备) in your office. So it's important that you polish up on your telephone techniques: how to make a call, how to take messages and telephone etiquette. ETIQUETTE There are 4 things you need to address in your greeting: 1) Welcome your caller; 2) Announce the name of your firm; 3) Introduce yourself; 4) Let them know you're here to help them. Your company will be judged on your telephone manner, so it is very important that the first contact the caller makes is with someone who is courteous (有礼貌的), happy, and ever so willing to help. For example: "Good afternoon. Welcome to Secretarial Site Dot Co. This is Mary. May I help you?" The caller will then usually tell you his name and the person he wishes to speak to or even some detail about what he calls for. Now that you have the caller's name, it's always more friendly to repeat the name back to them. It makes them feel important. For example: "Yes, Mrs. Smith, if you could hold the line one moment, I'll put you through to Mr. Brown." Or "Yes, Mrs. Smith, I'll just check and see if Mr. Brown is available to take your call right now." When announcing Mrs. Smith's call, you would tell Mr. Brown: 1) Who the caller is; 2) Which line the caller is on; 3) What it is the caller wishes to discuss. "Mr. Brown, Mrs. Smith is on line 1, regarding the sales of our new product. She has a few questions to ask. Would you be able to speak with her? Thanks." Or if he's not available, say something similar to this: "Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry but Mr. Brown is out of the office for half an hour. If you'd like to leave your number, I'll have Mr. Brown call you as soon as he returns to the office." Now because Mr. Brown is out of the office, you'll need to take a message. MESSAGES It's most important that you get the following details from the caller: 1) Name; 2) Phone Numbers—mobile, office or home; 3) What the call is about. Your written message should also contain: 1) Date; 2) Time; 3) Your name—so he knows who answered the call.

单选题In the last few years our communications network has been growing at a very fast pace. The old fixed-line telephone has been replaced by mobile phones, Short Message Service (SMS), e-mail and instant messaging (IM). And there are other new ways of communicating related to the Internet, such as blogs. A recent study in Switzerland shows the different roles that communication methods can play. Stefana Broadbent is a scientist at Swisscom, Switzerland's largest telecoms company. She studied several hundred consumers and their reactions to telecommunications. She found people were very good at choosing the best technology for each situation. "IM is used to tell you I miss you; e-mail is to organize our dinner; voice mail is to say, I'm late; and SMS to continue our talk on the way, "says Broadbent, joking a little. Landline phones are an open channel. That means people use them to talk about nonprivate things. That's because other family members or colleagues have access to the phone.
