George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city, about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better. 　　George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked the place and didnt like the idea of moving somewhere else, but if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there. 　　Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then, orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was no money for raises (加工資) for his workers Somehow, he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then the phone rang. 　　His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him Manley rubbed his forehead (前額); his problems seemed endless. 　　1 Henry Manley was already deeply in debt. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　2 The job that had been offered to George in Birmingham paid better. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　3 If George took the job in Birmingham, he would have to leave his family at Wyeford. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　4 Henry Manleys company was in deep trouble. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　5 Henry Manleys company was making enough profits to raise the workers wages. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　6 Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see him. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　7 George Strong was the best engineer in Henry Manleys company. 　　A Right 　　B Wrong 　　C Not mentioned 　　參考答案：1.

By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 　　The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance. 　　Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living. 　　By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, as, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 　　Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send information about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade. 　　練習(xí)： 　　1. Paragraph 2 _________ 　　2. Paragraph 3 _________ 　　3. Paragraph 4 _________ 　　4. Paragraph 5 _________ 　　A. Higher living standard 　　B. Importance of transport in trade 　　C. Various means of transport 　　D. Birth of transport-related industries and trade 　　E. Role of information in trade 　　F. Public transportation 　　5. The development of modern means of transport _________. 　　6. Only when goods can be carried to all parts of the world quickly ___________. 　　7. Transport has made it possible for people to eat whatever food they want _________. 　　8. In the trade of modern society the transmission of information plays as important a role as ________. 　　A. to send goods to various parts of the world 　　B. at any time during the year 　　C. has greatly promoted trade 　　D. is it possible to produce on a large scale 　　E. the transport of goods 　　F. it is possible to produce on a large scale 　　參考答案：BADECDBE 　　閱讀理解 　　Characteristics of Publicity 　　Publicity offers several benefits. There are not costs for message time or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. However, there are costs for news releases, a publicity department, and other items. As with advertising, publicity reaches a mass audience. Within a short time, new products or company policies are widely known. 　　Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they flip through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly. 　　Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news releases and find only portions cited by the media, and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like. 　　For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a substantial publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. A few ministers and other private citizens believed resulted in the firm receiving 15,000 phone calls about the rumor in June alone. To combat this negative publicity, the firm issued news releases featuring prominent clergy that refuted the rumors, threatened to sue those people spreading the stories, and had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America. The media cooperated with the company and the false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, negative publicity became so disruptive that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its-products. 　　A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media ascertain whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it. A company-sponsored fobs program might go unreported or receive three-sentence coverage in a local newspaper. 　　練習(xí)： 　　1. The author mentions all of the following advantages of publicity except 　　A) Having no time costs. 　　B) Having attentiveness. 　　C) Having high credibility. 　　D) Having high profitability. 　　2. the second paragraph indicates that people are more likely to believe stories 　　A) in a newspaper than in a women’s daily. 　　B) In a newspaper than in a magazine. 　　C) In an independent newspaper than in a dependent newspaper. 　　D) In a magazine than in a local newspaper. 　　3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? 　　A) A firm can control and time publicity accurately. 　　B) A firm can neither control nor time publicity accurately. 　　C) A firm can either control or time publicity accurately. 　　D) In most cases a firm can control and time publicity accurately. 　　4. The example in Paragraph 4 is intended to demonstrate 　　A) the power of publicity. 　　B) the victim of publicity. 　　C) the terrible effect of rumors. 　　D) the vulnerability of people to publicity. 　　5. The passage implies that 　　A) the placement of a story is not quite important. 　　B) the report of a crime may not be true. 　　C) local newspapers are not interested in company-sponsored programs. 　　D) publicity is not always necessary. 　　參考答案：DCBAD 　　補(bǔ)全短文 　　Mind Those Manners on the Subway 　　So， there you are， just sitting there in the subway car， enjoying that book you just bought (1) Or， the person sitting next to you takes out a nail clipper (指甲刀) and begins cutting his or her nails. 　　Annoying?
