And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed and a “loose cannon”.The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction(消遣）we do not need. All I，m trying to do is help.” *Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princesss views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.41. What did Diana mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?A. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.B. She just couldnt bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.C.

You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunts birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪）between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations.

Ask your parents if there is anything else plained at that time.* When something with your friends interferes (干扰；冲突）with a family event, try to figure out if there is any way you can do bother just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.Some of the time you wont be happy with the outcome (结果） You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends.

CMost people like using short cuts. We all usually want to get from A to B as quickly as possible and when we want to get out message across to people with the same job as us, we often use jargon(行话）. Ifs a kind of short cut that helps us communicate without wasting time. Jargon is simply a kind of language shorthand that lets us say what we mean quickly.In the business world you might expect to hear or use a lot of jargon. However, a report just out in Britain claims that most managers overuse business jargon and that this does not have a good effect on how staff feel.The report says that using terms like “blue-sky thinking” rather than saying more plainly “imagine new or different ways of doing things” puzzles employees and widens the gap between managers and staff. .Most employees in Britain, according to this survey, have a low opinion of colleagues who use management jargon. Over a third of those surveyed think it shows a lack of confidence and almost one in five think people who use it are untrustworthy or trying to cover something up.Some of the most overused business expressions of those surveyed and their more straight for ward explanations were: get our ducks in a row (have everything arranged efficiently), brain dump (tell everything you know about a particular subject) and think outside the box (be creative in how you think about problems).As this survey suggests, an effective boss is one who can communicate in a way that everyone can easily understand* not one who uses a lot of management jargon.48.

Littleton Childrens Home and Childrens HospiceA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy(童话) stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child，is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fair
