We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. O

22、nly a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere. How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs

23、you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction.

28、xplain. B Cancer is feared by everyone. And there is more and more fear about cancer. Not the disease itself there is no such thing as a high incidence rates(发病率) of cancer. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are not on the rise. However, some kinds of ca

29、ncer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety. The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less, scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the env

30、ironment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning. The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world for example, the high incidence of l

31、iver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America.

44、r service is preached(宣扬)by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done. Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店), but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the las

45、t to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.” The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的)shelves, overloaded r

46、acks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people. During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesig

47、ning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers. “Retailers whore enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth

48、over issues than those who arent so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help.” Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are har

49、d-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong. 53. Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints? A. Most shoppers wont complain even if they have had unhappy experiences. B. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them. C. Few customers believe t

50、he service will be improved after their complaints. D. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store mangers. 54. What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A. New customers are sure to replace old ones. B. It is not likely the shopper can find the

51、same products in other stores. C. The same products can be bought in other retail stores. D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too. 55. What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers? A. Manners of the salespeople. B. Hiring of efficient employees. C. Huge

52、 supply of goods for sale. D. Design of the store display. 56. To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to _. A. put pressure on stores to improve their service B. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly way C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly

53、D. shop around and make comparisons between stores E American beekeeping operations have been hit hard by what scientists call colony collapse disorder(C.C.D.). Almost half of their worker bees have disappeared during the past season. C.C.D. has also been reported in Israel, Europe and South America

54、. Bees fly away from the hive and never return. Sometimes they are found dead; other times they are never found. Many crops and trees depend on pollination (授粉) by bees to help them grow. A new report says virus may be at least partly responsible for the disorder in honey bee colonies in the United

55、States. This virus is called Israeli acute paralysis virus. It was first identified in Israel in 2004. Ian Lipkin at Columbia University in New York and a team reported the new findings in Science magazine. Doctor Lipkin says the virus may not be the only cause. He says it may work with other causes

56、 to produce the collapse disorder. The team found the virus in colonies with the help of a map of honey bee genes that was published last year. They examined thirty colonies affected by the disorder. They found evidence of the virus in twentyfive of them, and in one healthy colony. The next step is further testing of healthy hives. The researchers suggested that the United States may have imported the disorder in bees from Australia. They say the bees may carry the virus but not be affected. The idea is that unlike many American bees, the ability of Australian bees to fight di
