单选题 During the six months to the end of June commodities posted their best performance in 35 years, rising by 29%. In July they had their worst month in 28 years, falling by 10%. The slide continues: an index compiled by Reuters, a news agency, shows that prices are almost a fifth below the pinnacle reached in early July. The Economist's index, which excludes oil, has fallen by over 12%. Breathless headlines have. hailed the bursting of a bubble. But most analysts are more reticent. They cite various reasons for the recent drop in prices, chief among them the darkening economic outlook in rich countries. In recent weeks it has become clear that Europe and Japan are faring even worse than America, and so are likely to consume less oil, steel, cocoa and the like. But that does not necessarily presage a collapse in commodity prices, they argue, thanks to enduringly strong demand from emerging markets such as China. Oil consumption, for example, has been falling in rich countries for over two years. Goldman Sachs expects them to use 500,000 fewer barrels a day (b/d) this year than last. But it reckons that decline will be more than offset by an increase of 1.3m b/d in emerging markets. It predicts China's demand for oil will grow by 5%. A similar story could be told of many commodities. Marius Kloppers, the boss of BHP Billiton, a huge mining firm presenting its results this week, argued that emerging markets were much more important to the firm's fortunes than rich ones were. Developing countries, he said, consume four to five times more raw materials per unit of output than rich ones do. He predicted that China's use of steel, already greater than any other country's, will double by 2015. China's continuing and rapid industrialization, he argued, would outweigh any temporary slowdown in exports owing to the weakening world economy. In terms of supply, however, the picture is more mixed. Farmers, encouraged by high prices, have been planting more grain. Heavy rains in America's farming heartland earlier in the year did less damage to crops than expected. The International Grains Council, an industry group, now expects a record wheat crop this year, 9% bigger than last year's. China and India, meanwhile, have produced record amounts of soyabeans, while Thailand and Vietnam have harvested {{U}}bumper{{/U}} crops of rice. Although stocks of most farm commodities remain alarmingly low, and demand continues to grow, the increasing evidence of a strong supply response has helped to push prices down.

单选题Modifying copy density level for AUTO exposure mode On leaving the factory, the photocopies is set to AUTO NORMAL ("A") and it is unlikely that most users will need to change this setting for most of their work. However, if you do need to change the copy density to suit your individual preference for all your work or for a lot of pages, carry out the following procedures. 1. Press and hold the EXPOSURE key for 10 seconds. The level at which the photocopier has been set will now be indicated by a blinking light at AUTO NORMAL. 2. Next select AUTO NORMAL ("L"), AUTO DARK ("D") or AUTO NORMAL ("A") by pressing down the EXPOSURE key. Note that each time the EXPOSURE key is pressed , the setting changes in the following order: AUTO NORMAL ("A") , AUTO LIGHT ("L"), AUTO DARK ("D"), and then starts over again. 3. Wait approximately 5 seconds after selecting the new level. Then release the EXPOSURE key. When both the selected indicator and the READY indicator light up , the copy density level adjustment is completed. Modifying copy density level for MANUAL exposure mode Use the manual mode if you want to adjust the exposure for only a few copies. You may need to do this certain pages you are copying , which are very light or very dark. For example, if you want to copy a few pages which are extremely dark, you will want to use the MANUAL exposure mode to make them lighter. Press the EXPOSURE key for only a second to change from AUTO NORMAL ("A" ) to MANUAL LIGHT (also "A") and again to change to MANUAL LIGHT ("L"). If you press the key again, you will select AUTO NORMAL ("D"). Finally, if you press it once again, the photocopier will return to the AUTO NORMAL setting.
