(制造业) cried out, “the chinese are coming,” some years ago, they expressed a restless concern and warning about a possible loss of job opportunities. now americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on june 17 but this time, it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of chinese tourists to the united states. u.s. tourism officials have high expectations that well-off chinese visitors, who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan, will give a big help to their industry.“were very excited,” said helen n. marano, director of the office of travel and tourism industries under the u.s. department of commerce. before she talked to beijing review on june 17, marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at washington dulles international airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of chinese tourists to visit the united states.the first group consisted of 250 tourists, who left from beijing, shanghai and guangdong on june 17, the day when newly appointed chinese vice premier wang qishan and u.s. treasury secretary henry paulson started the fourth round of the china-u.s. strategic economic dialogue (sed) in annapolis, maryland. each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials.coincidence (巧合) could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day. as a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by chinese president hu jintao and u.s. president george w. bush in 2006, the first chinese tourist groups arrival in the united states was widely reported by the chinese media.at the previous sed meeting last december, chairman of the chinese national tourism administration shao qiwei and u.s. commerce secretary carlos gutierrez signed an agreement between china and the united states to advance tourist group travel from china to the united states. under this agreement, china agreed to give an “approved destination status” to the united states, allowing chinese travel agencies to market tourism to american destinations and permitting u.s. destinations to advertise directly to the chinese public.the agreement “is estimated to bring up to 100 million chinese travelers to the united states over the next 15 years,” paulson said.but what people in the u.s. tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie.“im getting calls already from people saying things like, how do we get to do this? and how do we attract chinese tourists to our area?” marano told beijing review. marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen.1. when, a few years ago, some americans shouted “the chinese are coming”, they _.a. were worried that the chinese language would take the place of englishb. were concerned that the number of the chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals c. wanted to warn that the u.s. economy would suffer heavy lossesd. feared that large numbers of chinese moving into the u.s. would make many americans jobless2. helen n. marano was excited because _.a. large numbers of chinese touring the u.s. would tip her and her colleaguesb. the chinese touring in the u.s. would help improve its industryc. the chinese are usually well organized when travellingd. wang qishan and henry paulson started the fourth round of the china-u.s. sed3. we can infer from the passage that _.a. chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of chinese to go to the u.s. without the agreement b. marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the chinese werec. many americans take a positive attitude toward chinese touristsd. about 100 million americans will travel to china in the next 15 years4. which of the following is the best title for this passage?a. the chinese are comingb. the fourth-round china-u.s. sedc. more chinese, more job opportunitiesd. how can we attract more chinese to our area【参考答案】14、dbcaayou dont need millions to be happyin fact, at the happiness institute in australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enoughthe institute opened its doors last year, and since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $140 an hour for lessons on how to feel great“you can actually increase your happiness levelsthats what we teach,” said timothy sharp, founder of the instituteexperts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income and other financial factorsas much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitudes, life control and relationshipsmost of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels havent changed to reflect thatstudies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happinessmany years ago, the “sage of baltimore, maryland”, editor hl menchen, defined wealth as earning $100 more than your “wifes sisters husband”behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off materially“the argument is that if you want to be happy theres a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well-off than you - poorer, smaller house, car,” said sharpthe happiness institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account”“if i compare my self to bill gates then im always going to be down,” said sharpa better thing to compare with, he said, might be kerry packer, australias richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years1which of the following statements in true according to the passage?ayou can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at the happiness institutebmost of us are happier than our parents or grandparents since we

have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.now, truss and i disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. she thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while i just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, ifixit or dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. if job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.of course, we write for a living. if is the worlds largest online repair manual (指南), and dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. so, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.but grammar is relevant for all companies. yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesnt make grammar unimportant. good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. and, for better or worse, people judge you if you cant tell the difference between “their” “there” and “theyre”.good grammar makes good business sense and not just when it comes to hiring writers. writing isnt in the official job description of most people in our office. still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.grammar signifies more than just a persons ability to remember high school english. ive found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something compl
