companies have begun to sponsor sports events. They give money to football,
motor racing, tennis and a{{U}} (52) {{/U}}of other sports on

is now causing concern, because it does exactly{{U}} (54) {{/U}}many ads
tried to do—suggest that{{U}} (55) {{/U}}has some relation with being

smokers would stop{{U}} (57) {{/U}}the air. I wish I could eat in a

填空题Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized (51) trust. The "honor system," imposed by the teacher and the university, demands that the student (52) honest in all areas of school work. Thus, (53) on tests, plagiarizing in written work, presenting others' ideas as original, and (54) in homework completed by someone are all prohibited. Violation of the honor system can result in a student's failing a course, having a permanent record of the violation placed in the student's school files, or even being (55) from the university. Many students are also aware that they can jeopardize their rapport with fellow students if they are (56) . Students who (57) may lose the respect of other students, particularly those who study for exams and work independently. When leaving the classroom while students are (58) an exam, an instructor may or may not say, "I expect you all to abide (59) the honor system." Even if the words are not stated, the student is expected to work (60) and not to share answers. Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is (61) . There are courses, (62) , where grades are (63) in relation to other students' scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading "curve" is used, students may be (64) to share lecture notes or information for fear (65) their own grades will suffer. There are other reasons for the presence of (66) among students. A high grade point average is needed for (67) to superior graduate schools. Students feel pressure to achieve high grades when there are relatively few openings in graduate programs. (68) addition, when facing a competitive job market, graduates may be judged on the (69) of their grade point average and faculty recommendations. Ultimately, it is the student who is responsible for succeeding in this (70) system.

填空题To understand better the forces that control human aging and longevity, we have tried to determine whether the longer lifespan of females might be part of some grand Darwinian scheme. Gender differences in longevity have been (51) in other members of the animal kingdom: in fact, in almost all species that have been observed in the wild, females (52) to live longer than males. Female macaques live an (53) of eight years longer than males, for example, and female sperm whales outlive their male (54) by an average of 30 years. It seems that a species' lifespan is roughly correlated (55) the length of time that its young remain (56) on adults. We have come to believe that (57) a significant, long-term investment of energy is required to ensure the survival of offspring, evolution favors longevity—in (58) , female longevity. Indeed, we believe that the necessity for female (59) in the human reproductive cycle has (60) the length of the human lifespan. We start with the assumption (61) the longer a woman lives and the more slowly she ages, the (62) offspring she can produce and rear to adulthood. Long-lived women (63) have a selective advantage over women who die young. Long-lived men would (64) have an evolutionary advantage over their shorter-lived (65) .But primary studies suggest that men's (66) capacity is actually limited more by their access (67) females than by lifespan. Hence, the advantage of longevity for men would (68) be nearly as significant as it is for women. And because males historically are not as (69) in child care as females, in the not so distant evolutionary past the survival of a man's offspring depended not so (70) on how long he lived as on how long the children's mother lived.

填空题An office is the "brain" of a business. In an office, figures, lists and information are compiled which tell the managers or heads of the business what is happening in their shops or factories. These figures guide the managers (51) telling them what has happened and what is happening. Information comes into an office in all sorts of (52) but the main items of information come in regularly. It is part of the job of the clerks to collect and classify that information and to put it into a form that is easily interpreted and understood. Offices collect information, then they (53) it. This work of collection is common in an office from the sorting of mail every morning to the accountant's work in finding (54) the final figure for year's profit. (55) always requires the arrangement of the same kind of information, often into lists or columns. For this work, correctness, accuracy and speed, as in all office work, are essential. There is no value, (56) , in collecting the figures (57) mean nothing. (58) are guides which should help us (59) decisions. The interpretation of information and of tables should tell us where success or (60) lies, where profit can be had and where (61) occur. On this kind of information and from the known figures, a choice is (62) and a series of such choices may make a policy. A firm which has three factories may find, (63) . instance, from its figures, that one factory is losing money and a choice may lie between either a change of manager, a cut in production, an increase in production (64) closure of the factory. Whichever one of these decisions is taken becomes the policy. It is clear (65) a decision leading to a policy can only be as good (66) the information (67) which it is based. Consequently there is a constant search (68) more and more exact information. Managers will want to have all the necessary facts (69) they can make the best decision and it is normal for (70) to seek for more and more information.
