Michael held on to a two vote lead to become the mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan. By 670 votes to 668,Sessions beat the sitting(现任的) mayor, who is 51, and had all the advantages of incumbency(现任职权). And he won despite the fact that his name was not even on the ballot(选票). Sessions was too young to stand by the spring deadline for registration. So after he turned 18,he entered as a write-in candidatemeaning voters had to remember his name and add it to the ballot by hand in order to support him. Once his victory is certified and hes sworn in the ceremony which is set for Nov. 21he may be the youngest mayor in the USA. The U.S. Conference of Mayors lacks the data to determine whether hell be the youngest mayor ever. At least two other teens have been elected as mayors in recent years but they were slightly older and represented much smaller towns. Americas youngest mayor, Sessions plans to devote after-school hours to the job and use his bedroom as his office because other than a $250 per month salary, he receives no other compensation. The mayor doesnt even have an office at city hall. He says many voters told him they wanted “new energy” but he was still caught off guard by the support he received. “He was a real go-getter(志在必得的人) during his campaign” says Steven Brower, a government and economics teacher at Hillsdale High School. “He acted like he was running for president.” Sessions dad Scott Sessions told us hes very proud of his son and what hes been able to accomplish. “I think hell be a really good mayor,” said Scott while smiling. “I think hell represent the people.

Michael Sessions achievements were more satisfying than what the former mayor of Hillsdale had madeBManners make the businessman, with a global survey finding Americans and Britons to be the most easily insulted by lack of workplace etiquette(礼节), while Australians are among the most offensive.The survey, by Australian-based international office space provider Servcorp, listed the top five most offensive workplace behaviors as not saying hello or good morning, not offering office guests a beverage, speaking loudly across the room, using swear words(粗话) and taking calls on mobile phones. The use of stationery without permission and asking colleagues about their personal lives were also considered insulting.The poll then revealed the United States and Britain to be the most sensitive nations in the world, despite 60 percent of respondents believing Japan has the strictest work etiquette.English and American businessmen were also more easily offended than their colleagues in the Middle East, Japan and China, nations with cultural traditions spanning centuries.Almost 25 percent of Australians, however, thought it was perfectly acceptable to swear - something the majority of Japanese and Middle Easterners found deeply offensive.Nearly all Australians polled also said they would not think twice about addressing their boss by their first name, something Chinese business people found very rude.Australians also regularly talk loudly at work, take personal calls and ask too many personal questions, the survey showed. “Being aware of potentially offensive behavior is a key factor to Australian business success abroad,” Taine Moufarrige, Servcorps executive director, said in a statement.“Australians are very natural in their business style, perhaps more so than any other country in the world,” she said, adding that the survey, which was sent to some 700 businesspeople in 13 countries, was commissioned to help Australians. The survey found that although they are not easily offended, Australians feel more offensive than their international colleagues by business people who dont offer guests beverages.45. Australians think it is very_ to address their boss by name. A. naturalB. impoliteC. importantD. necessary46. The main purpose of the survey by Servcorp is to_. A. prove Australians are the most offensive B. introduce workplace etiquette to the businessmen from different countries C. remind Australian business people of their workplace etiquette while doing business abroad D. tell people workplace etiquette is quite different in different countries47. By saying “Being aware of potentially offensive behavior is a key factor to Australian business success abroad,” Taine Moufarrige wants to express _. A. Australian businesses abroad are not successful B. Australian business people abroad pay little attention to their workplace etiquette C. the workplace etiquette that Australian business people abroad have is offensive D. potentially offensive behavior can help Australian business people succeed abroad48. What can we learn from the passage? A. American and British people care about the work etiquette most. B. Australians are not used to offering office guests a beverage. C. Japanese and Middle Easterners usually swear when they are offended D. the people of a country with a longer history are easier to offend.CAre you a social butterfly(交际花), or do you prefer being at the edge of a group of friends? Either way, your genes and evolution may play a major role, US researchers reported on Monday.While it may come as no surprise that genes may help explain why some people have many friends and others have few, the researchers said, their findings go just a little farther than that.“Some of the things we find are frankly strange,” said Nicholas Christakis of Harvard University in Massachusetts, who helped conduct the study.“We find that how interconnected your friends are depends on your genes. Some people have four friends who know each other and some people have four friends who dont know each other. Whether Dick and Harry know each other depends on Toms genes,” Christakis said in a telephone interview.Christakis and colleague James Fowler of the University of California San Diego are best known for their studies that show obesity, smoking and happiness spread in networks.For this study, they and Christopher Dawes of UCSD used national data that compared more than 1,000 identical(同卵) and fraternal(异卵) twins. Because twins share an environment, these studies are good for showing the impact that genes have on various things, because identical twins share all their genes while fraternal twins share just half.“We found there appears to be a genetic tendency to introduce your friends to each other,” Christakis said.There could be good, evolutionary reasons for this. People in the middle of a social network could spread useful information in secret, such as the location of food or good investment choices. “It may be that natural selection is acting on not just things like whether or not we can resist the common cold, but also who it is that we are going to come into contact with,” Fowler said in a statement.49. The best title for this passage is_. A. How to Be a Social Butterfly B. Genes and Evolution May Play a Major Role in Our Daily Life C. How Many Friends One Has Depends on His or Her Genes D. All Twins Share the Same Genes50. According to the passage Christakis and colleague James Fowler have drawn a further conclusion about genes that_. A. genes play an important role in peoples making friends with each other B. genes may affect how close the relationship among friends is C. genes have a deep influence on peoples obesity and smoking habit as well as the number of peoples friends D. genes can determine whether a person can make friends with others51. Researchers studied identical and fraternal twins because_. A. twins are good at making friends with others B. identical twins behaviors are quite different from those of fraternal twins C. twins always live in the same environment D. the influence on peoples making friends with each other may be uncovered by doing so52. The underlined part “natural selection” here refers to_. A. the genes when a person is born B. the twins genes C. the genes which can help people make friends with others D. the genes that can keep off the common coldDLOCATIONScandinavia Hotel lies right in the centre of Brussels, close to many citys places of cultural interest and well connected by an efficient transport network to every part of the city.
