In a 2009 interview with Campbell for the new Statesman, Ferguson said that the three most important qualities for leadership were control, managing changes and _3_. _4_ to explain in detail the last quality, he said, “ __5_ everything around you, analyzing what is important. Seeing dangers and opportunities that other don’t see. That comes from experience and knowledge.”He has tons of both, though he sometimes hides them. All the people I interviewed about Ferguson for this article, whether they wanted to be __6_ or not, said that even though at first _7__ he looks like a typical old-school football type, he is __8_ innovating. Whether United wins or loses, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to _9_ what an extraordinary job the club has done in building a global __10__ that values important things like talent and work ethic, and to recognize that over the past 50 years Alex Ferguson has been the finest manager that team sports have seen---in any sport, anywhere in the world.CThey look more like the brightly-lit shelves of a chemist’s than the __1__ of a vegetable garden. But, according to their creators, these perfect-looking vegetables could be the future of food.In a __2__ controlled environment---unpolluted by dirt, insects or fresh air---Japanese scientistsare developing a new way of growing vegetables.Called plant factories, these greenhouses have __3_ up across the country and can produce perfect-looking lettuces and green leaves 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Every part of the plants’ environment is controlled---from the lighting and temperature to the humidity湿度and water. Even the levels of carbon dioxide can be __4__ altered.Rather than the conventional untidy clothes and dirty fingernails of vegetable growers, the producers wear gloves, masks and __5__ protective suits.The vegetables from plant factories are sold at a price above the normal price of vegetables to Japanese shoppers. No chemical _6__ are used so there is no risk of food poisoning.Because the plants are grown in a clean room, they can be eaten safely without washing. Lettuce grown in the factories can be __7__ up to 20 times a year. Some factories are vast and can produce three million vegetables a year.The spread of plant factories has been __8_ by the Japanese government among concerns about the use of chemicals in vegetables.A spokesman for the Ozu Corpo ration factory in Tokyo said, “Vegetables are produced in the factory without being exposed to the air outside. Stable production is _9__ throughout the year by controlling lighting, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and water. They can also meet the d emands of _10__ who want safe food.”BIf you were to begin a new job tomorrow, you would bring with you some basic strengths and weaknesses.Successes or _1_ in your work would depend to a great degree on your ability to use your strengths and weaknesses to the best advantage. _2_ the greatest importance is your attitude.A person who begins a job convinced that he isn’t going to like it or is _3_ to suffer is exhibiting a weakness which can only _4_ his success.On the other hand, a person who is secure in his belief that he is probably as __5_ of doing the work as anyone else and who is _6_ to make a cheerful attempt at it possesses a certain strength of purpose.The chances are that he will do well. _7_ the essential skills for a particular job is strength.Lacking those skills is _8_ a weakness.A bookkeeper who can’t add or a carpenter who can’t _9_ a straight line with a saw is hopeless cases.This book has been designed to help you take advantage of the strengths and _10_ the weaknesses that you bring to the job of learning.But in groups to measure your development, you must first __11_ somewhere you stand now. _12_ we get further along in t he book, we’ll be dealing in some detail with specific processes for developing and strengthening _13_ skills.However, to begin with, you should _14_ to examine your present strengths and weaknesses in three areas that are critical to your success or failure in school: your _15_, your reading and communication skills, and your study habits.1.

A. intelligence B. work C. attitude D. weaknessDTo better understand the negotiation practices of other cultures, it is important for us to be aware of the standard negotiation practices in the United States. Americans grow up believing in the saying “He who hesitates is lost.” __1_, most Americans conduct business at lightning speed. It is not _2__ for contracts to be signed during the first business meeting. These rapid contracts are easy to sign due to the fact that middle managers have the _3__ to make quick decisions without consulting the boss or __4_ with the group. Brief small talk is often conducted __5_ the business conversation, but theshort-term rewards, and financial arrangements quickly become the focus. Contacts before are helpful but not necessary because a person’s last successes are thought more important. Communication is usually indirect, informal, competitive and at times argumentative.__6_ in western Europe is different from that in the United States. For the French, business is a very formal issue, and business will be __7_ influenced by any appearance of a casual attitude. Their eye contact tends to be so intense that even North Americans may feel __8_. In Germany, business is also conducted very formally with great attention to order planning, and schedules. Because of this slow process, it is, in fact, impossible to __9_ a business negotiation. Humor, compliments, and personal questions are not a part of German negotiation. Instead, business may begin immediately after an introduction. Although the Dutch are also straightforward and efficient in negotiations, business is __10_ at a slower pace than in the United States.Swedes are also very serious about business. They show little __11_ during negotiation and expect the same from you. How to reach an agreement is important to Swedish negotiations, and they tend to avoid __12_. They may cut off a discussion immediately if they think it will lead to an argument over a _13_ topic. In conversation, Swedes do not __14__ dishonesty and pride.

Scientists have found a new world orbiting the sun 2 billion miles beyond Pluto, which had been the most distant known planet. The existence of the new object--- named Sedna after a goddess of the sea--- will be announced by NASA tomorrow. It is about 6 billion miles from Earth and the space shuttle would need to travel for more than 40 years to reach it.Professor Michael Brown from California Institute of Technology (Caltech), whose team made the discovery, said the find was the most significant for years.“Sedna is very big, and much further out than previous discoveries,” he said. It extended significantly the known boundaries of the solar system.Sedan has a diameter直径of more than 1,200 miles, making it the biggest find in the solar system since Pluto was discovered 74 years ago.It is slightly smaller than Pluto--- a finding that is likely to reopen the debate over what a planet is actually made up of. Some scientists claim that even Pluto is too small to be regarded as a planet while others say that any sizeable object orbiting the sun fits the definition.In 2002 Brown’s team reported the discovery of Quaoar, a planetoid小行星about 800 miles in diameter and 1 billion miles beyo nd Pluto. Pluto’s average distance from the sun is 3.6 billion miles.Last month they reported finding a new body, code-named 2004DW, which is 10% larger and slightly further away. Both those objects lie within the Kuiper belt---some rocks and very small planetoids orbiting the sun beyond Neptune that are probably the remains that formed the solar system about 5 billion years ago. There are about 800 known Kuiper belt objects, most of them about 60 miles in diameter.“Sedna is much further out than 2004DW and is well beyond Kuiper belt,” Brown said. “We have been looking for 21/2 years and I am pretty sure there are other large bodies up there too.”Cambridge Prof. Sir Martin Rees said objects like Sedan could provide valuable clues on how the solar system formed.1. Which of the following Cannot be true about Sedna?A. It is named after a goddess of the seaB. It has a diameter of more than 1200 miles.C. It is a satellite of Pluto.D. It has been observed for some time.2. Which of the following might be the focus in the debate over the definition of a planet?A. Its size and orbitingB. Its size and structureC. Its distance from the sunD. Its position in the solar system3. Which of the following tells the correct order of the discovery in the order of time?A. Sedna-Quaoar-2004 DWB. Quaoar-2004 DW-SednaC. 2004 DW-Sedna-QuaoarD. Quaoar-Sedna-2004DW4. What is implied about the Kuiper belt in the passage?A. It consists of rocks and small planetoids moving around the sun.B. Its structure is the same as most of the planets of the solar system.C. Its objects are of the same size in diameter with Sedna or Quaoar.D. It has shown how the solar system formed.FParents who would like to buy toy computers and other electronic games marketed as improving learning for children could save their money and help their children to learn themselves, according to new research.A study examining the role of technology in the lives of three-and four-year-old children and their families found that the hi-tech toys are no more useful than traditional ways of introducing basic literacy识字and number skills.Toy laptops and mobile phones were of greater value to young children as an aid to imaginative play such as pretending to make phone calls than in teaching specific skills, researchers at the University of Stirling concluded after tracking families for 15 months.Youngsters also gained an understanding of the social role of technology simply by watching their parents use computer, digital cameras and mobile phones in daily life.The study, which examined 24 families of varying social backgrounds in detail and analyzed written responses from 346 families in total, found parents were almost all interested in preparing their children not only for school but also for the world of work, but they felt unsure whether to buy them electronic toys.Lydia Plowman, professor of education at Stirling University, said parents interviewed experienced “a lot of worries” about the role of new technology, and felt under pressure from producers to buy education electric toys.Professor Plowman, announcing her research at a conference, said such toys were neither harmful no r “particularly useful”.She said: “I don’t think there is any problem about children having these toys at home, but in terms of basic literacy and number skills I don’t think they are more useful than the more traditional methods.” Parents who bought such toys often failed to replace the battery when it ran out afterchildren lost interest, she added.Almost all the families reported that their children listed going to the park as a favourite activity, while some did not list technology as a favourite at all.1.Parents bought toy computers and other electronic games so as to ______.2.What’s the benefit of the youngsters’ watching their parents use electric appliance?3.Why did parents feel under pressure from producers to buy education electric toys?4.Almost all the families reported that their children preferred ________.1. 如果上海持续这样快速发展，你能想象五年后会变成什么样呢？(keep)2．毫无疑问，在这个战争，经济灾难还有自然灾害频发的过去10年间，中国的崛起是头号新闻。
