If you want to check where the nearest coffee shop to your home is,if you want to know how to get
to a scenic spot(景点) in your city,or if you want to see where in the world your foreign pen friend lives,
there"s now a new free online map you can use.
Last month,China started its official online mapping service,Map World. "The free online service will
allow users to fly over mountains and plains around the world and search restaurants and traffic information across the country,free of charge," said Xu Deming,director of the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping(SBSM). The bureau,which does China"s surveying and mapping work,is in charge of the Map World
project.
Users can enter Map World through www. tianditu. cn or www. chinaonmap. cn and search for
two-and three-dimensional(维) images(图像) from across the world. The home page shows a view of
the Great Wall.
"It took about two years to prepare the service with all the satellite images taken from 2006 to 2010,
" said Jiang Jie,director of the database(数据库) department under SBSM.
The technology and website are still at an early stage. The images from inside China are detailed.
Users can see close pictures of roadsides. But the views of places outside China are less clear.
Service providers have more than 80 machines,with the ability to handle(处理) 10 million requests
daily,while Google Earth,Google"s mapping service,has thousands of machines,Jiang said.
"Our map service can update data about twice a year,but Coogle Earth can update its information
every couple of minutes,through satellites," Jiang said.
The bureau said it would continue developing Map World. Meanwhile,you can have a try for
yourself. Some users have given positive feedback(反馈) after trying the service. One student in Beijing
told teens that Map World even showed the small bookstore near her school.
B. To introduce the new online photo-map of China.
C. To show the importance of the new online photo-map.
D. To tell how popular the new online photo-map is.in China.
B. large
C. complete
D. valuable
B. will need another two years to complete
C. needs further development
D. begins with the Great Wall
B. It provides less clear images of places in China.
C. Its machines are less high tech.
D. It only has black and white images.

expects them to have. Although it is true that there is a difference in the generations,I do not believe that
it is fair"to say that today"syouths have bad manners.
In the first place,the fact that young people do not always shake hands only reflects a move away from
the formali-ties( 礼节) of the past. It does not show lack of respect,but simply the present trend towards more relaxed social com-
munication. Similarly,the way that we speak to each other is surely a manner of personal choice. Even
though we maynot greet each other formally,this has nothing to do with manners. Youngsters have simply
developed their own greet-ings.
Furthermore , I strongly oppose the opinion that young people are impolite and show lack of
consideration of others._____,most young people have perfect manners. Naturally,there are always
exceptions( 例外). Even older mem-bers of society can be ill-mannered at times.
As far as I am concemed,the complaints about young people today are entirely without foundation.
Although thereare different attitudes towards manners in the generations,that shouldn"t be considered as
rudeness. I suppose that any-one who says such things has not really tried to speak to the young
generation. If he or she did,I am sure they wouldfind that we are just like everyone else.
To conclude,I think people wrongly regard the lack of formality as bad manners. After all,
youngsters follow exam-ples set by others,so maybe the world around us has become less formal.

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so
job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身)nose
rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can"t judge a book by its cover, yet people do "cover"
themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are.
Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances? so do companies. Dress
standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what
customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about
whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their
employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our
customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might
disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can"t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred
employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
B. Customers" choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter
D. Hiring Managers Matter
4. The author"s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .
A.enthusiastic
B. negative
C. positive
D. sympathetic
another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and
poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who
think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea
created by companies and advertisers hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people"s lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is
not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in
many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item (商品 )
that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in
almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trussed
into the hands of the professionals , lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of
products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products
also need to have a short life span so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short
time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed
makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy
one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
B. The practice of choice is difficult.
C. The right of choice is given but at a price.
D. Choice and right exist at the same time.
B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion.
C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items.
D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the range of choice.
B. products of the latest design flood the market
C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry
D. everyday goods need to be replaced often
have only themselves to blame,because they tremble at the thought
of being seen in pubhc in clothes that are out of fashion. They are
always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.
Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside
because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only
a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed with
clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashion is nothing more than the intentional creation
of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to re-
place clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford
to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering
the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened;necklines
are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything
really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned
with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用).
They"re only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage
of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,
as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who
hasn"t sometime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in
a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through
deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the
conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Does the constantly changing
fashion of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of
instability(不稳定) ? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated
by fashion designers. Do their unchanged styles of dress reflect
basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
B. because they are capable of predicting the new fashion
C. by constantly changing the fashion in women"s clothing
D. because, they always improve the quality of women"s clothing
B. a waste of time and money
C. an expression of taste
D. an expression of creativity
B. appearance
C. comfort
D. suitability
B. The constant changes in women"s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D. Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
doctor? How about an ice cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice
cream. Just ask John Harrison, an " Official Taste Tester" for the
past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product"s
quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for appro-
ving large quantities of sweet ice cream--as well as for developing
over 75 flavors(味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job;after all,
you just have to like ice cream,right? No-there"s more to the job
than that,says Harrison,who has a degree in chemistry. He points out
that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone
wanting a career in this "cool"field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses
60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about
12°F. Harrison explains, " You get more flavor from warmer ice
cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream
soup. "
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples
and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with
the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive
and asks himself, "Does the product have the colour expected
from that flavor?" Next it"s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors and test
samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison
busy but happy-working at one cool job.
B. An ice cream taster.
C. A chemist.
D. An ice cream manufacturer.
B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day
D. find out new flavors each day
B. He examines the colour of the ice cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
B. Flavors of Ice Cream.
C. John Harrison"s.
D. One Cool Job.
