27、duri ng the war with Mexico.San Fran cisco spra ng into a city overni ght because of the n earby discovery of gold in 1848. A great rush to California took place. Wago n trai ns plodded their dan gerous way across 2000 miles of prairie and mountains, while hundreds of sailing vessels made the equall

28、y hazardous trip around the Horn. The vessels disgorged thousa nds of passe ngers - the n the crews deserted their ship and hun dreds of vessels were left to rot in the bay. With in two years, Califor nia had eno ugh populatio n to become a state and San Fran cisco was for many years the hub of that

29、 n ewly-arrived populatio n.The citys present popularity is due to an excellent climate, an easy style of living, good food, and nu merous tourist attract ions.

33、oposal to the IOC. After all proposals have been submitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated, the voting con ti nu es, un til a majority winner is determ in ed. Typically the Games are awarded several years in adva nee, allow ing the winning city time to prepare for the

34、Games.In selecti ng the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC con siders a nu mber of factors, and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instanee, Tokyo, the h

35、ost of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importanee television worldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host citys time zone. When ever the Games take place in the U

36、SA or Can ada, for example, America n television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best view ing hours.Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committeenot the IOC or the N

37、OC of the host citys country to provide them with mon ey.This is often done with a part of the Olympic televisi on reve nu es, and corporate spon sorships, tickets sales, and other smaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support.Although many cities have achieved amoun

38、ts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympics can be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, the city was left with large debts.1.

42、In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid off during recessions （ 经济萧条 ） or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Oth

43、ers see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the

44、 first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only regular employees. Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid

45、 off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These irregular workers make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors （ 分包单位 ）. This practice is m

46、uch more common in Japan than in the United States.The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system. During recess

47、ions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The difference then is probably less than the term lifetime employment suggests, but there still is a difference.

48、 And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not

49、jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.1. Accor

50、ding to the passage, a woman in Japan.A. cannot get a lifetime jobB. is impossible to get a part time jobC. will be employed for lifeD. is among the regular workers2. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?A. they dont want to lose their retireme nt ben efit

51、s.B. they are not adaptable people.C. any cha nge of jobs will make them less paid.D. they get used to the teamwork.3. It can be in ferred from the passage that.A. those who want to cha nge jobs freque ntly in Japa n should thi nk twiceB. those who are first laid off by America n corporati ons are t

52、emporary workersC. the use of subc on tractors makes Japa nese firms less flexibleD. the Japa nese system is totally differe nt from the America n system4 What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.B. The exte nsive use of subc on tractors in Japa n.C. The

53、 characteristics of corporations in the United States.D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.5. According to the passage, if you move to a new firm,A. you will lose all the retireme nt ben efits.B. you will be less effective.C. you will be paid less.D. you will have to get accustomed to a n

54、ew team.DSunshine might be healthier than most people think, outweighing the risk of skin cancer.British doctors suggested last week and ran straight into a storm. The four researchers at Bristol University in western England were accused of weakening years of campaigning to warn people of the dan g

55、ers of too much sun. Experts agree exposure to the sun s ultraviolet rays （紫外线）in creases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates the sig ns of agi ng. But in theBritish Medi cal Jour nal, the Bristol team led by An drew Ness wrote,“ There is evide nee thatthe pote ntial ben efits of exposure to sun

56、 light may outweigh the widely publicized n egative effects on the in cide nee of skin can cer.”Vitamin D, made in the body in reactio n to sun light, preve nted rickets （软骨病）inchildre n and was associated with a protective effect aga inst heart disease.Sunshine was also useful for treating certain

57、skin conditions and there was evidencethat it reduced the incidence of multiple sclerosis （ 硬化症）.There was also the“ feel goodeffect of lying or sitting in the sun.” The researchers said it was too early to advise people tospe nd more time in the sun, but suggested the basis of the curre nt advice to cover up should be rev
