20、reys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world Its even got a bar, folding

21、chairs and an orange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge billion building pro-ject beside the new American Embassy in south-west London.

27、reet in Embassy GardensDbuilding the pool is not a complex job23（8分） Learning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill, especially when working across cultures.In international negotiations, experienced negotiator (谈判者) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make oth

28、ers feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially cant stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations.So, whats the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Dont offer

29、 a compromise just because they are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “Whats your initial reaction to that offer?” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “Lets come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation.”In

30、 presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion (热情). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “Im in control. I know what Im doing. Im confident.”A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He i

31、ntroduced with many pauses so that you didnt miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that wed better pay attention, theres something going on here.Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep ta

32、lking youre spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing.Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world ar

33、ound you.

37、 best defense.BSilence in negotiations is of great help.CLearning the skills about silence is important.DSilence has different meanings in difficult culture.24（8分） Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us

38、 Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an

39、egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNASuccess came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new typ

40、e of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadnt been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 t

41、ested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the teams results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to

42、 attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for produc

43、ing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.1、What do we know about the tec

47、ept. The idea is simple, but revolutionary(革命性的): combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents(住户)eat lunch together and share activities such as music, painting and gardening. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading s

48、tories to the children and, if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a hug.Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care

49、for ageing relations, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same: increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. Its a major problem in many societies.Thats why inter-generational(代际的) programs are growing in pop

50、ularity all over the world. There are examples of successful actions all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another. One successful scheme in London pairs young volunteers with old peopl

51、e who are losing their sight. The young people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping with shopping, and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their young visitors. For example, a retired judge may be paired with a teenager wh

52、o wants to study law.But it isnt only the individuals concerned who gain from inter-generational activities. The advantages to society are huge too. If older people can understand and accept the youth of today, there will be less conflict in a community. And we can use the strengths of one generatio
