from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises
around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a
step toward a better are for the people who word there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she
realizes that "it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market," where the price of a
shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.
Rivoli"s book is full of me able people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell
(泥土香味) of the cotton." She says, "Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallo water Texas." Rivoli is
her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections, She even finds one between the free traders and
those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets

but low-paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage-earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-
in the Philippines" case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on
the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting
(劳务输出) countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars. As for
those Asian countries that import (输入) labour, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need
more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed an agreement to
help migrant (流动的) workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing
problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked
outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers.
So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export
labour, Singapore and Brunei import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sziraczki of the UN"s International
Labour Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labour force of the worker exporting
countries should grow by about a third. It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs. Most Thais said their
government should admit (准入) no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore,
just over ball of people are against admitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the increase in foreign
workers has worsened crime rates (犯罪率).
B. labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C. the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D. the country both exports and imports labour force
B. more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C. some countries suffer from low birth rates
D. the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
B. lower crime rates
C. greater money inflows
D. stronger job competition
B. report fairly on the question of labour flow
C. express his worries over the ASEAN"s decision
D. regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem
according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.
Now, it"s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they
are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way
at supermarkets (超市), for example, is to interview (采访) customers while they" re doing their shopping.
They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides
information on which to base future marketing strategies. It"s also quite normal for top managers from
department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if
they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.
Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food
restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for
nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it
also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract. Another
strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in
their work, touting the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a
perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.
B. salesmen
C. researchers
D. customers
B. Giving customers free food on the street.
C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.
D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets.
B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse.
D. Dressing up and walking around.
B. how to develop marketing strategies
C. how to find out customers" social needs
D. how to encourage customers to spend more money
presidential historians took part in it and they judged the past forty-two American leaders based on ten qualities
of leadership, which include public persuasion, crisis (危机) leadership, the management of economy, moral
leadership and international relations. The historians also looked at administrative (行政的) ability, relations
with Congress, goal setting and pursuit (追求) of equal justice for all. Finally, the experts considered
performance based on the historical period in which the president lived.
The historians chose Abraham Lincoln as America"s greatest president. He had also been named best
president in a similar study in 2000. Abraham Lincoln was the only president in American history to lead the
nation during the Civil War in the 1860s. He united the nation at last. And he took the first steps that detroyed
the institution of slavery in America.
Edna Medford is a professor of history at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She was an adviser on
this study and the ealier one. She says Abraham Lincoln is seen to represent the values that the nation most
honors like truthfulness, moderation (温和) and respect for human rights.
The historians named America"s first president, George Washington, as second on the list of greatest
presidents. Franklin D. Roosevelt, theodore Roosevelt and Harry Truman are next in that order. John F.
Kennedy, the coutry"s first Roman Catholic president, is sixth on the list. Like Abraham Lincoln, John F.
Kennedy was murdered while in office. Among recent presidents, Ronald Reagan was named the tenth best
president. Bill Clinton was rated fifteenth. And the historians rated former president George W. Bush as number
thirty-six. His fathter, George H.W. Bush, did much better. He was rated as number eighteen.
B. he caused the Civil War and fought against slavery
C. he was the only president to join in a civil war
D. he owned the ten qualities of leadership
B. take measures to deal with an economic crisis
C. start a war between countries
D. run after equal justice for the people

The 47-year-old politician rose to the highest post because of his stand against the war in Iraq and his plans
to fix a weak economy. But what will the first 47-year-old African-American president do for race relations?
Obama"s victory appears to have given blacks and other minorities a true national role model. For years,
many looked to athletes and musicians for inspiration. As Darius Turner, an African-American high school
student in Los Angeles, told the Los Angeles Times, "Kobe doesn"t have to be everybody"s role model
anymore."
Recent polls (民意测验) also suggest that Obama"s victory has given Americans new optimism about race
relations. For example, a USA Today poll found that two-thirds of Americans believe relations between blacks
and whites "will finally be worked out". This is the most hopeful response since the question was first asked
during the civil rights revolution in 1963.
However, it"s still too early to tell whether Obama"s presidency will begin to solve many of the social problems facing low-income black communities.
Although blacks make up only 13 percent of the US population, 55 percent of all prisoners are
African-American. Such numbers can be blamed on any number of factors on America"s racist past, a failure
of government policy and the collapse (瓦解) of the family unit in black communities.
It is unlikely that Obama will be able to reverse (扭转) such trends overnight. However, Bill Bank, an expert
of African-American Studies, says that eventually young blacks need to find role models in their own
communities."That"s not Martin Luther King, and not Barack Obama," he told the Los Angeles Times."It"s
actually the people closest to them. Barack only has so much influence."
In the opinion of black British politician Trevor Phillips, Obama"s rise will contribute more to
multiculturalism than to race relations in the US.
"When the G8 meets, the four most important people in the room will be the president of China, the prime
minister of India, the prime minister of Japan and Barak Obama," he told London"s The Times newspaper."It
will be the first time we"ve seen that on our television screens. That will be a huge psychological shift (心理转变) for both the white people and the colored ones in the world."
B. blacks could only find role models on the basketball court
C. minorities in America couldn"t find role models in their real life
D. American blacks had no role model who was successful in political area
B. young blacks should not be so much influenced by Obama
C. blacks should find other role models because Obama is far from their reality
D. Obama is not the proper role model for African-Americans
B. America"s New Role Model
C. Obama- A Successful Black.
D. Choosing a Right Role Model
B. Obama is an African-American president.
C. None of the four leaders is white.
D. The other three leaders except Obama are from Asian countries.
Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world"s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these
paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be left. Recently, a possible
way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp (麻).
Hemp has been grown for a long time. It produces fiber which can be made into paper, fuel, oil, food and
rope. For centuries, it was very important to the economies of many countries because it was used to make
big ropes used on sailing ships. The worldwide trading network would not have been possible without hemp.
Nowadays, ships" ropes are usually made from wire or fibers, but scientists are now suggesting growing hemp.
In fact, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many
environmentalists believe that the large-scale growing of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada"s forests.
However, there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, which is related to
the plant from which a drug called marijuana (大麻毒品) is produced, is very useful for fiber, rope, oil and
fuel. In the late 1930s,a movement to ban the drug marijuana began, resulting in the banning of the growing
not only of the plant used to produce the drug, but also of the commercial fiber producing hemp plant. In fact,
the drug marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant, since it doesn"t contain the active ingredient (成
分)in the drug. In recent years, many people try to make it legal to grow the plant and sell the fiber for
production.
B. Canada publishes a lot of newspapers and books.
C. Pulp and paper export is a major source of earning money for Canada.
D. Hemp is a traditional plant of Canada.
B. a very rewarding export
C. fuel for ships
D. food for sailors
B. it can be used to produce marijuana
C. it was no longer a useful crop
D. it was harmful to the land
B. Hemp plant.
C. Marijuana plant.
D. Both trees and hemp plant.
