2、hildren C. the name of a music album D. a movie about Italian-American83. The three artists mentioned in the passage are all _. A. talented actors B. famous musiciansC. remarkable performers D. Academy Award Winners(B) “Business is war.” The traditional language of business certainly makes it sound

3、that way: winning the competition, getting market share, beating up suppliers, locking up customers. There are the victors and the losers. But today in doing business, you have to listen to stomers, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. That doesnt sound like war. Besides,

4、there are few victors when business is looked upon as war. Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. Business is competition and cooperation as well. In other words, business is war and peace. To bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory. Game theory provides that

5、 whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. It is particularly effective when there are many interdependentfactors and no decision can be made in isolationfrom other decisions. Game theory breaks down the game into key elements:players, added values, rules, tactics, and scope(

6、PARTS).Every element affects the result of the game. This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into entirely new one. Change one of the PARTS, and you change the whole. Why change the game? An old Chinese saying explains: If you continue on the course youre

7、 heading, thats where youll end up. Sometimes thats good, sometimes not. You can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. Thats because youre playing the wrong game: you need to change it. Even a good game can be made into a better one. Real success comes from actively shaping the game

11、 good or not () What is an insect? Insects of all kinds have existed on earth for millions of years. Sometimeswe think of all insects as pests. Human life, however, would have a difficult time continuingwithout insects, because they pollinate plants and are a food source for many animals. Besides, i

12、nsects, especially the social ones, are fascinating. One very interesting and useful social insect is the honey bee. Bees are considered socialinsects because they live and work together. They cooperate and communicate in order to survive. The bee lives in a beehive () with other worker bees, and wi

13、th the queen, who can laythousands of eggs a day. The worker bees make wax used to create new cells inside the hive. Humans use this valuable beeswax in candles, cosmetics, expensive furniture polish, and otherproducts. They also produce honey, a valuable food for humans (as well as for bees). Anoth

14、er fascinating social insect is the ant. Many types of ants live in colonies underground. There thousands of them build and maintain their city. They keep it clean and free of enemies. They also cooperate to provide food, sometimes in a manner that looks human. For example, some ants actually raise

15、their own food. One type of ant farmer keeps and cares for tiny insects that suck sweet sap from plants. Ant farmers milk them for this sap(), just like actual farmers milk cows. The sap is then given as food to young ants and to the queen, whose main duty is to lay eggs. Another type of ant that pr

16、oduces its own food does so by gardening. These farmer ants take piecesof leaves into the colony and chew them up. The soft, chewed up leaves then sprout afungus() that the worker ants use to feed the queen and young ants. There are many other ways that antscooperate to maintain and protect their co

17、lonies. There are also many other kinds of social insects. What makes them all so fascinating is theirorganization.

21、adio service since admission. One of the main reasons given for not listening was that although 50% of the patients knew about the service, only 9% knew the name of the station and how to receive it. Of these, only 3% were aware that their friends and relatives could send a get-well message or recor

22、d dedication through the radio service. Another main cause of the low utilization of the service was the unserviceability of the bedside radio headsets. Of the 22 patients who had listened to the hospital station, ten said the reception was bad, five fair, and only seven said it was good. When asked

23、 if they would listen if the reception was better, 75% of the patients who never listened said they would do so. The most popular programs were found to be based on hospital-ward information and news, and health education; record requests came third. From this survey it was concluded that hospital r

24、adio stations needed higher financial support to extend their services, and, most importantly, a better maintenance, of the bedside radio headsets should be provided to improve reception of the broadcasts. There are over 250 independent hospital radio stations in the United Kingdom and they serve ab

25、out three-quarters of the UK hospitals. Recently a survey was carried out on a random sample of these stations concerning their staffing, broadcasts and finance. Three hospitals also contributed information about the listening habits of almost 200 patients. The findings have been of great assistance

26、 to the people involved in patient services and have stimulated them to think critically about the radio facilities provided by the hospitals. To obtain information about the hospital radio stations, 30 hospital broadcasting organizations were randomly selected and questionnaires were sent out. Twen

27、ty-four (80%) were returned completed. From the replies it was found that an “average” station serves three hospitals and involves 33 people in the preparation and broadcasting of programs. Broadcasts are put out for about 28 hours a week, mainly in the evenings and at weekends. Only 17% and 21 % be

28、ing broadcast in the mornings and afternoons respectively. All the stations used ward visiting to obtain record requests and many publicized their services by other means as well, for example, posters, inserts in patients guides and through local newspapers. Only 13% of the radio stations got a fina

29、ncial grant from the hospitals, although additional funding from voluntary organizations such as the hospitals league of friends goes to another 21%. The cost of a radio station to the hospital is therefore difficult to estimate, but various hospital administrators gave it as varying between 25-2,00

30、0 per annum.92.
