单选题On December 11th, 2001, China formally became one of the members of the WTO after a long period of 15 years' negotiations with the WTO member countries. During these years, China gradually liberalized most of her trade and investment policies, making the official admission largely symbolic, it is quite significant for China to join the WTO. It certainly will facilitate China's international business. And this should reinforce moves towards market liberalization. The WTO membership signals China's commitment to establish clear and enforceable non-discriminatory rules to conduct business within its own country and with other countries. China is becoming relatively powerful in the world's economy. By joining the WTO, China can enjoy many favourable rights in doing international trade, but in the meantime, China has to perform her obligations. There are more advantages than disadvantages for China to join the WTO though China's national industries may meet great impact. After China becomes one of the WTO members, her economic growth will greatly increase and her legal and governmental reforms will be facilitated. According to a WTO report, which was released on October 10, 2002, China has become the fourth largest trade body in the world following the Triad= the United States, the European Union and Japan. The improved trade environment following her entry into the WTO resulted in the rapid growth in China's trade volume. Therefore, it can be seen that China's entry into the WTO has great positive impact on China's international trade. Since China became one of the members of the WTO, foreign investments have been flowing into this country, which is opposite to the prediction that China's foreign investment would decrease after China's entry into the WTO. This is because China has rich, low-cost labor resources and the vast market, both of which provide much scope for profit and make foreign investors more confident in investing in China. Besides, the stable and promising political and economic situations attract foreign investors. China must observe the same "game rules" as the other members of the WTO do, which will speed up her step to integrate its economy into the global economic framework. Besides. China's entry into the WTO will help private businesses to improve their growth. The Chinese government must also grant equal rights to all enterprises no matter whether they are state-owned or private ones according to the WTO equal treatment principle.

单选题The jewellery designerHe was young and completely unknown, but Paul Waterhouse believed in himself. He'd heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. 'I was only 21,' he says, 'and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.' So he went to the bank, borrowed ￡1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. 'The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.'He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. 'As most of them weren't precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great! I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,' he says. 'Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I'd done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.'

单选题Crashed Cars to Text for Help There is no good place to have a car crash—but some places are worse than others. In a foreign country, for instance, (29) to explain via cellphone that you are upside down in a ditch when you cannot speak the local language can fatally delay the arrival of the emergency services. But an answer may be at hand. Researchers funded by the European Commission are beginning tests of a system called E-merge that (30) senses when a car has crashed and sends a text message telling emergency services in the local language that the accident has taken place. The system was (31) by ERTICO, a transport research organization based in Brussels, Belgium. Cars are fitted with a cellphone-sized device attached (32) the underside of the dashboard which is activated by the same sensor that triggers the airbag in a crash. The device (33) a cellphone circuit, a GPS positioning unit, and a microphone and loudspeaker. It registers the severity of the crash by (34) the deceleration data from the airbag's sensor. Using GPS information, it works out which country the car is in, and from this it determines (35) which language to compose an alert message detailing precise location of the accident. The device then automatically makes a call to the local emergency services (36) If the car's occupants are conscious, they can communicate with the operator (37) the speaker and microphone. E-merge also transmits the vehicles make, model, color and license number, and its heading when it crashed, which in turn indicates on which side of a multi-lane highway it ended up. This (38) the emergency services find the vehicle as soon as they arrive on the scene, "we can waste a large (39) time searching for an incident," says Jim Hammond, an expert in vehicle technology at the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK. Tests will begin soon with police car fleets in the UK. Trials have already started in Germany, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands and Italy. In-car systems that summon the emergency services after a crash have (40) been fitted in some premium cars. ERTICO says that if EU states are willing to fund the necessary infrastructure, E-merge could be working by 2008. A study by French car maker Renault concluded that the system could save up to 6,000 fo the 40,000 lives lost each year on Europe's roads, and prevent a similar number of serious injuries. The Renault study estimates that fitting E-merge to every car in Europe would eventually save around 150 billion per year in terms of reduced costs to health services and insurance companies, and fewer lost working days.

单选题If you could give anything in the world to your child, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings don't have as many temper tantrums (发脾). They also learn to control themselves using words. A two-year-old child reaches toward the oven (烤箱) door, then stops, tells herself, "Hot, hot," and turns away. Researchers call this "self-directed speech". It's one of the ways children learn to do what's right and not to do what's wrong. With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the world. Early on, all four-legged anize-brasmals are dogs or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of ideas. By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in school. It even tells us how well she'll be able to understand what she reads, and to ex press her ideas in writing later on. So, how do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when you're feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when you're doing the dishes or walking down the street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even before your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume (设想) that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Re searchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of words he hears, and especially the number of questions he is invited to answer. Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons for reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interesting words. Here's an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud every day: You begin to hear "book words" in your child's speech. You're walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. "Look," you say, "a pretty flower. " "Actually," your child corrects, "it's beautiful. " Actually? Beautiful? That's when you know you've truly given your child a love of words.
