问答题Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Companies wishing to perform better and cut their risk of bankruptcy should have more female directors on their board of directors. Women’s abilities to make fair decisions when competing interests are at stake make them better corporate leaders, researchers have found. A survey of more than 600 board directors showed that women are more likely to consider the rights of others and take a cooperative approach to decision-making. This approach translates into better performance for their companies. The study, published this week in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, also found that male directors prefer to make decisions using rules, regulations and traditional ways of doing business. Female directors, on the other hand, are less constrained by these parameters and more prepared to use initiative than male colleagues. In addition, female directors—who, globally, make up around nine percent of corporate boards—are significantly more inclined to make decisions by taking the interests of multiple stakeholders into account in order to arrive at a fair decision. They also tend to use cooperation, collaboration and consensus-building more often—and more effectively—in order to make sound decisions. The findings show that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. Companies with few female directors may actually be shortchanging their investors. 

问答题Directions: Translate the following Chinese text into English.一项研究发现，晚婚在财政上对女性有利，但对男性却不利。美国弗吉尼亚大学发布了一篇研究报告称，受过大学教育的女性如果在三十多岁时结婚，收入平均比那些在二十多岁时就结婚的女性高出56%。与此相反，二十多岁就结婚的男性比那些到三十岁后才结婚的男性收入更高，无论受教育程度如何。研究指出，美国人平均结婚年龄达到了史上最高——女性27岁，男性29岁。相比之下，1990年的平均结婚年龄为女性23岁，男性26岁。尽管女性确实能从晚婚中得到经济利益，但早婚的男性通常日后会更成功。

It seems that trees can talk to each other. Two American biologists at the University of Washington carried out an interesting 51 in the early 1980s. They placed 52 of harmful insects on the branches of some trees in order to discover 53 trees defend themselves from attack. They found that the chemical 54 of leaves on the tree 55 the insects were soon began to change. The leaves changed so much 56 it was soon impossible for the insects to eat such 57 . The insects began to die 58 starvations. 59 , the scientists' most surprising 60 was that the chemical composition of leaves changed on neighboring trees as well as on those already 61 by insects.

The trees were so 65 apart that there was no 66 contact between their branches. 67 were they close enough for their roots to touch. A similar American experiment was 68 out on a different kind of tree. 69 the same results were obtained. No one knows for certain how the trees pass information to their neighbors but some scientists think that they may 70 chemicals into the air to warn their fellows of danger.
