Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind（磨碎）wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s, when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

A. were invented by European armies

C. The worldwide movement to save energy.
D. The global trend towards producing power from wind.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据末段句子Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind可知，接下来作者应该谈论利用风能发电的情况，因此选择D项。

There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36 a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself 39 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to 41 to get the window repaired, so did Neil． 42 he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44 improved afterwards．
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so 46 ．Willie Russell, the 47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a（n） 49 experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell． 51 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52 by flying stones．
Unfortunately he had failed to take into account the difference between his 53 and the one which Neil had faced, namely that he and the boy were not alone．It was at this point in his career that Russell decided that perhaps he was not quite cut out to be a teacher． Deciding after this that he was not suited to teaching he left to 54 playwriting．Most of his plays are very imaginative and 55 ．A bit like this story, in fact．

Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables(变量): language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To deal with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.
The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment lie in the fact that one cannot learn culture—one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural differences. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from disappearing.
The other school suggests that companies must adjust business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia(近视) or even blindness.
Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your rivals, know your audience, and know your customer.
According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Business diversity is not necessary.
B. All international managers can learn culture.
C. Most people do not know foreign culture well.
D. Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.
According to the author, the model of Pepsi .
A. is different from the model of McDonald’s .
B. reflect the idea that business is business.
C. has converged cultural differences .
D. shows the reverse of globalization .
The two schools of thought .
A. both think dealing with cultural environment is the most complicated problem in business
B. both admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world.
C. both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries.
D.both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures.
This article is supposed to be most useful for those .
A. who have connections to more than one type of culture
B. who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity
C. who want to run business in other countries
D. who want to travel abroad

Bob was a clever college student, but his family was poor, so he had to work after class and during his holidays to get enough money for his studies.
One summer he got a job in a butcher’s shop during the day time, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learned to cut and sell meat. He did so well that the butcher went into a room behind the shop to do all the accounts. In the hospital, of course, Bob was told to do only the easiest jobs. He helped to lift people and carry them from one part of the hospital to another. Both in the butcher’s shop and in the hospital, Bob had to wear white clothes.
One evening in the hospital, Bob had to help to carry a woman from her bed to the operating - room. The woman already felt frightened when she thought about the operation. When she saw Bob coming to get her, she felt even more frightened.
"No! No!" she cried. "Not a butcher! I won’t let a butcher operate on me!" with these words ,she fainted away.
