businesses today use conferences as a means of discussing new plans of the company. as people are paying more attention to the environment and green problems, more businesses are looking for ways to reduce their negative effect on the environment. many businesses do this by using web conferencing. web conferencing is a technology that allows people to communicate more effectively over the internet. its an easy way of hosting and attending conferences without having to leave the office. each of the people involved in a web conference will be posted an invitation to the conference with the time and date of the web conference on it. when the conference is ready to begin, all participants (参与者) must sit at their computers and they will be connected over the internet. with web conferencing all participants attend conference from the comfort of their own desks. obviously, in doing this no fuel is used in traveling to and from a conference, and less work is taken up in attending a conference.any material to be used during web conference is simply e-mailed to all the participants before the conference. participants can then either choose to print material or read it on screen. this not only saves paper but also greatly reduces mailing costs for the business.as a conference hall or business center isnt being used, it means that the only power that is used is the power that is used by the participants personal computers. similarly, conference organizers dont have to arrange for food or overnight accommodation. all this means that less energy is used.often in business some companies actively choose to do business with other companies that do many things to reduce their negative impact on the environment. and web conferencing helps you show other businesses that you are willing to work hard for the green cause.31. what is the passage mainly about? a. ways of protecting the environment b. green benefits of web conferencing c. ways of hosting a web conference d. impact of web conferencing on costs32. according to paragraph 1, many companies use web conferencing because they _.a. are interested in using any new technology.b. believe that web

world, millions play the sport and many more like to watch it. some would say that the simplicity of the game is the main reason for its popularity, but that cant be true as, this way, marathons or races would be the most popular sports in the world. in fact, the most popular sport in the world is football.the main reason for the popularity of any sport is the room for creativity inside the sport. football has plenty of room for creativity as it enables players to use their bodies in unique ways to get hold of the ball and score while at the same time keeping the other team from scoring. in addition to this, the rules ensure that the game is clean and fair, thus encouraging new players to play it.another reason is that this game doesnt require expensive equipment. all the kids in poor developing countries like playing it as all they need to play it is a ball and an empty playground, and that would ensure a quality time for a group of kids who want to enjoy their time. the federation international de football association (ftfa) knows this fact and is always trying to keep the rules and regulations applicable for poorer countries.for fans of the sport, it is very entertaining to watch the skills and talents of the players in professional matches. the outcome of a match can easily change in the dying moments of a game. some matches are even better than watching a thriller, because you really have no idea what the result of the match will be.35. from the first paragraph, we know that marathons and races _. a. are sports that are as simple as football b. are
