In America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WIN. 1
However, as time goes by, I have gradually comprehended the meaning of WIN-WIN principle- it is
the attitude of seeking mutual benefit.
When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers(跳棋)which include two basic tactics(战术)
: 2 The other is to block the passages of your rival. Players may apply these two totally different
approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even
if his opponent may take advantage of it. 3 Meanwhile, some player may take another approach to
prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costs. By this he may get a short-term benefit, but
couldn’t fix attention on the final goal, thus he would never truly develop further.
4 Its core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some benefits, so there is no real
loser. One example of applying the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in the US. 5
It is quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take other people’s interests into
consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called
"foolish" or "stupid". Actually helping other people can be of great delight to the helper, for he can also
learn something crucial for his life such as sympathy, care, devotion, etc. So only if you take other
people’s interests into earnest consideration can you assure your own gain.
A. Playing Chinese checkers really needs skill.
B. In the 1990s, a strategy called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world.
C. It was important for me after I knew its meaning.
D. One is to create paths for yourself.
E. Most Americans advocate the spirit of social service and voluntary contribution.
F. It sounded strange to me at first.
G. Finally he can always reach the destination a few steps ahead of the other player.

by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined(破坏), and many dialects
and traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects
that globalization is bringing. Read on and you are sure to feel comforted, ready to face the global future.
Consider the Internet, that good example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the worries about
political extremism, even the most narrowminded must admit that the net offers a lot of benefits, not
just in terms of education, the sector(部分)for which it was originally designed, but more importantly
on a global level, the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to
misinform the public, as the oppressed(被压迫的)will not only find support and comfort, but also be
able to organise themselves more effectively.
MTV is another global provider that is often criticized for imposing(强加)popular culture on the
unsuspecting millions around the world. Yet the viewers" judgment on MTV is undoubtedly positive;
it is regarded as necessary by most of the global teenage generation who watch it, a vital part of
growing up. And in the final analysis, what harm can a few songs and videos cause?
Is the world dominance(绝对优势)of brands like Nike and Cocacola so bad for us, when all is
said and done? Sportswear and soft drinks are harmless products when compared to the many other
things that have been globally available for a longer period of time-heroin and cocaine, for example. In
any case, just because Nike shoes and Coke cans are for sale, it doesn"t mean you have to buy them
even globalization cannot take away people"s free will.
Critics of globalization can stop presenting their doom and gloom statements. Life goes on, and has
more to offer for many citizens of the world than it did for their parents" generation.
B.bring threat to the world peace
C.change their present difficult lifestyle
D.increase the size of people speaking dialects
B.to get support and comfort
C.to organise the oppressed more effectively
D.to promote education
B.Nike and Cocacola shouldn"t have caused so much worry.
C. All of the global teenage generation think that MTV is a necessary and important part for their growing up.
D. Sportswear and soft drinks cannot be compared with drug.
B.Globalization: don"t worry, be happy
C.Globalization: like it or change it
D.Globalization brings equality
staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain(TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign
(发起运动)for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.Beds that are too
small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any legroom all make life
difficult for those of above average height, it says.
But it is not just the extratall whose needs are not being met.The average height of the population has
been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.
"The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a
kingsize bed at 6"66" (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6"3" bed
caters for(满足需要)less than half of the male(男性)population, " said TPCGB president Phil
Heinricy, "Sevenfoot beds would work fine."
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the longlegged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses" Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6"6" beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly
Americans.
B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D. To attract more people to become its members.
B. 7".
C. 6"6".
D. 6"3".
B. They may start businesses elsewhere.
C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D. They have to provide enough space for the longlegged.
B. 6"6" beds have taken the place of 6"3" beds.
C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D. Guest rooms are standardized.
something more than a hobby(业余爱好):She planted vegetables in her yard.For her first
garden,Ms.Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,and five rows of a variety of vegetables.The
family"s old farm house has become a chicken house,its residents arriving next month.Last
year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden.This year she has made it much larger because,she
said,"The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds,too;so it"s
a winwin situation all around."
They are among the growing number of Americans who,driven by higher living costs and a
falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.Others have
increased the size of their existing gardens.Seed companies and garden shops say that not
since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home.Now
many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months.In Austin,Tex.,some
of the gardens have a threeyear waiting list.
George C.Ball Jr.,owner of a company,said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by
40%over last year,double the average growth of the last five years.Mr.Ball argues that some
of the reasons have been building for the last few years.The big one is the striking rise in the cost
of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables.Food
prices have increased because of higher oil prices.People are now driving less,taking fewer
vacations,so there is more time to garden.

Plan International. Baby Nargis was born at 07:25 local time(01:55GMT)in Mall village in India"s
Uttar Pradesh state. Plan International says Nargis has been chosen symbolically as it is not possible
to know where exactly the seven billionth baby is born. In addition to baby Nargis in India,Bangladesh,
the Philippines and Cambodia have all identified seven billionth babies. The United Nations estimated
that on Monday 31 October. the world"s population would reach seven billion.
Populations are growing faster than economies in many poor countries in Africa and some in Asia.
At the same time,low birth rates in Japan and many European nations have raised concerns about labor
shortages.
Population experts at the United Nations estimated that the world reached six billion in October
1999. They predict nine billion by 2050 and ten billion by the end of the century. China"s population
of one and a third billion is currently the world"s largest. India is second at 1. 2 billion. But India is
expected to pass China and reach one and a half billion people around 2025.
India will also have one of the world"s youngest populations. Economists say this is a chance for a
so-called. demographic dividend. India could gain from the skills of young people in a growing economy
at a time when other countries have aging populations. But economists say current rates of growth,
although high,may not create enough jobs. Also,the public education system is failing to meet demand
and schooling is often of poor quality. Another concern is health care. Nearly half of India"s children
under the age of five are malnourished(营养不良).
Michal Rutkowski,the director of human development in South Asia at the World Bank, says reaching
seven billion people in the world is a good time for a call to action. He says,"I think the bottom line of
the story is that the public policy needs to become really,really serious about sex equality and about
access to services-to fight against malnutrition,and to provide for access to health services,water and
schooling. "
B. Baby Nargis has been chosen carefully so it is exactly the seven billionth baby.
C. Three countries have all declared Baby Nargis as the seven billi011th baby.
D. The United Nations declared Baby Nargis as the world"s seven billionth person.
B. Poor health care.
C. Not enough jobs.
D. Schooling of poor quality.
billion?
B. About 40 years.
C. About 50 years.
D. About 110 years.
B. Benefit gained by working young people.
C. Chances for more employment.
D. Disadvantages caused by aging population.
B. To reduce world"s population.
C. To gain economic equality.
D. To improve health and education.
of concentrating and clearing the mind to bring the body into a state of peace, at least a semi-regular
basis. For some, particularly among practitioners of Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism,
this is part and parcel of their religious practice.
For others, particularly in Western cultures, meditation tends to be a response to stress. With the
world economy approaching meltdown and people worried about their job or their ability to keep their
home, it’s a way for people to attain a state of peace of mind and well-being.
For those interested in taking up the practice, instruction in meditation for beginners can be found in
literally thousands of sources.
One of the most popular styles of mediation in the West, with classes offered in most major cities, is
called Transcendental Meditation. TM, as it is known among its practitioners, first came to worldwide
attention when the Beatles began practicing it in 1967. For direct, guided, personal instruction in
meditation for the beginner, TM may be the hallmark.
Part of the confusion about how to practice meditation effectively is due to the fact that there are
literally hundreds of techniques championed by various groups and individuals. As a general principle,
it might be said that all meditation techniques seek to have the practitioner attain a state of consciousness
that is different to our ordinary state of awareness. They attempt to train people to clear their minds and
achieve a sense of inner peace. It sounds simple enough, but of the huge number of people experiment
with meditation, very few are able to maintain its practice over the long haul. In most cases, this is due
to frustration over the inability to experience any dramatic, instantly recognizable effects.
This is quite a sad state of affairs, that so few these days are willing or equipped to persist in
something that doesn’t provide immediate life-changing results. It reflects a culture in which demands
for discipline and sustained effort are considered unnecessary or even unfair. It is no surprise therefore
that many people abandon their efforts at meditation before they have a chance to bear fruit.
But for anyone who does decide to take up this worthwhile practice, please remember. You must
clear your mind, relax and “take it as it comes”. Maintain the practice with a sense of discipline and
devotion, and eventually benefits of inner peace and calm will be yours.
B. very different to
C. usually sent from
D. an important element of
B. to practice a religion
C. to develop a technique
D. to carry out an experiment
B. It is practiced by many famous artists.
C. Its benefits are not immediately obvious.
D. Most people find it a very good way to relax.
years?
B. The need to fill in their growing free time.
C. Increasing employment instability.
D. Migration from countries in which meditation is traditional.
B. People interested in starting to learn meditation.
C. Buddhists and Hindus.
D. People who are very religious.
