In Guangzhou, capital of South China"s Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday. And the airport"s flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 percent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian nations and regions because of the outbreak of SARS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport"s international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August. Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.

You two have got a lot ______.

Besides active foreign enterprises and a【31】number of private employers, a consequential new development was the development of employment in state-owned enterprises (guanying or guanshang ). Started by some【32】Qing officials, the yangwupai, in the late nineteenth century, sizable state-owned enterprises developed primarily【33】enhancing China"s national defense. Famous industrial giants of today"s China such as the shipyards in Shanghai and heavy industries in cities like Wuhan, Nanjing, and Chongqing were built by the Qing or the Republic governments. Some of them later began to【34】considerable private investment. After World War Ⅱ, this type of stateowned employment became very important. Labor in those enterprises consisted basically【35】two tiers: a largely market-oriented allocation of blue-collar and some white-collar workers, and a mostly state allocation of most of the white-collar workers including managerial and technical personnel. The latter was a distorted labor market that featured strong【36】considerations in allocating and managing labor. Personal and kinship connections, the so-called "petticoat influence," and political【37】were the norm for this type of labor allocation pattern. In a way, it was midway between a rather crude market-oriented labor allocation pattern and the centuries-old, warm, family-based traditional labor allocation pattern. It covered a very small but important portion of the Chinese labor force, and thus【38】our attention. Later, it apparently provided the historical precedent【39】state-owned enterprises to allocate their administrative and technical cadres, even its entire industrial labor force,【40】state employees.

Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox acmes the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的),has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox"s smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they fire almost as mach a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious source of discomfort for their fellows. Medical authorities express their【B1】about the effect of smoking on the health not only【B2】those who smoke but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who must involuntarily inhale the air polluted by the tobacco smoke may【B3】more than the smokers themselves. As you are doubtless aware, a considerable number of our students have【B4】an effort to【B5】the university to ban smoking in the classrooms. I believe they are entirely right in their aim.【B6】, I would hope that it is possible to achieve this by【B7】on the smokers to use good judgment and show concern for others rather than【B8】regulation. Smoking is prohibited by city laws in theaters and in halls used for showing films as well as in laboratories【B9】there may be a fire hazard. Elsewhere, it is up to your good sense. I am therefore asking you to maintain "No Smoking" in the auditoriums and classrooms. This will prove that you have to keep nonsmokers" health and well-being【B10】, which is very important to a large number of our students.

A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply—all these were important factors, in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.【B1】they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men—【B2】individuals who could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society. The men who【B3】the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were【B4】inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research【B5】. He is not necessarily working so that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is【B6】trying to make something that has a concrete idea. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories【B7】science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of【B8】other objectives. Most of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had【B9】or no training in science might not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years【B10】.

In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called "classical conditioning". This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother"s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called "operant(动作的) conditioning". This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.

Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They.【31】at in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the【32】man. But they insisted that its【33】results during the period from 1740 to 1840 were widespread poverty and misery for the【34】of the English population.【35】contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1640 to 1740, when England was still a【36】.agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity. This view,【37】is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists【38】history and economics, have【39】two things: that the period from 1640 to 1740 was【40】by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.

Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Cant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site"s "personal search agent". It"s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. "I struck gold", says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company. With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: "Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility". says one expert. For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do—then broaden it. "None of these programs do that", says another expert. "There"s no career counseling implicit in all of this". Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. "I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me", says the author of a job-searching guide. Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When Career Site"s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them and they do. "On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic", says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for Career Site. Even those who aren"t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at Career Builder. "You always keep your eyes open", he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.
