The story is told about the sergeant who stopped at the jewelry store every morning at nine o’clock and compared and reset his watch with the chronometer in the window. Finally, one day the sergeant went into the store and complimented the owner on the accuracy of the chronometer. “Is it according to time signals from Arlington？” Asked the sergeant. “No,” said the owner, “I set it by the five o’clock cannon fired from the fort each afternoon. Tell me, Sergeant, why do you stop every day and check your watch？” The sergeant replied, “I’m the gunner at the fort!” Is the feedback prevalent in this case positive or negative？ The jeweler’s chronometer loses 3 minutes each 24-hor period and the sergeant’s watch loses 2 minutes during each eight hours. If the time of the chronometer is correct at 9 o’clock this Monday morning, what is the net time error when the cannon is firing at the fort of the next Monday？
听力原文： The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled their homes in North America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless plain like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska, they needed large quantities of wood for building houses, making fires and doing many other things. Therefore they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872, a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees. So Arbor Day was born on April 10th, 1872. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been full of trees and it's green all the year around.

A company can export its product in two ways. It can hire independent international 【C4】______ middlemen (indirect exporting) or handle its own exporting (direct exporting).
Indirect exporting is more common in companies just 【C5】______ to export. First, it involves less investment. The firm does not have to have an overseas sales force or a set of contacts. Second, it involves less risk. International marketing middlemen—domestic-based export merchants or agents, or 【C6】______ organizations--bring know-how and services to the relationship, and the seller normally makes fewer mistakes.
Sellers approached by foreign buyers are likely to use direct exporting. So will sellers whose exporters 【C7】______ large enough to do their own exporting. The investment and risk are somewhat greater, but so is the potential return.
The company can carry on direct exporting in several ways. First, it can set up a domestic 【C8】______ department that 【C9】______ export activities. Or it can set up an overseas sales branch that handles sales, distribution, and perhaps promotion. The sales branch gives the seller more presence and program control in the foreign market. It often 【C10】______ a display center and customer service center. Or the company can send home-based sales representatives abroad at certain times to find business. Finally, the company can do its exporting through foreign-based distributors who buy and own the goods, or through foreign-based agents who sell the goods on behalf of the company.
【C1】______
A．enter into
B．enter on
C．enter up
D．enter
Number one is to have clear goals. Decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs will be in the future.
Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. You'll want a diversified portfolio: one with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. It's a jungle out them. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before you buy, so there won't be any big surprises later.
Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. As our Mend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500: "He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year."
Over the past several years, New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, but don't count on this continuing. While it's true that since the year 1900, stocks have averaged an 11% annual return. It's a roller-coaster ride with many minus years as well, so you have to stay in for the long term--you have to weather the storm--and not be too greedy.

听力原文： In 1858, a British scientist named William Farr set out to study the "marital condition" of the people of France. He divided the adults into three categories: the "married", consisting of husbands and wives; the "unmarried", defined as the bachelors and spinsters who had never married; and finally the "widowed", those who had experienced the death of a spouse. (29)Using birth, death and marriage records, Farr analyzed the death rates of the three groups at various ages. The work, a groundbreaking study that helped establish the field of medical statistics, showed that much more unmarried people died from disease than the married. And the widowed, Farr found, lived worst of all.
Farr was among the first scholars suggesting that there is a health advantage to marriage. Married people, the data seemed to show, lived longer, healthier lives. "Marriage is a healthy estate," Farr concluded. "The single individual is more likely to be wrecked on his voyage than the lives joined together in marriage."
(30) While Farr's own study is no longer relevant to the social realities of today's world because his three categories don't include couples living together, gay couples and the divorced, for instance, his finding about the health benefits of marriage seems to have stood the test of time. (31)Although better health among the married some times simply reflects the fact that healthy people are more likely to get married in the first place, scientists have continued to prove the "marriage advantage": the fact that married people, on average, appear to be healthier and live longer than unmarried people.
(30)
A．The birth rates.
B．The death rates.
C．The divorce rates.
D．The widow rates.

【简答题】Re-Entry Students Re-Entry students have a positive effect on college students, instructors, and the community. They are called “re-entry” students because they have been out of school for a period of time and have come back. Often students take college courses and then leave school for a variety of reasons: jobs, military training, family obligations, indecision about careers. No longer are college classes primarily made up of 18- to 20-year-old recent high school graduates. In many colleges, the average age of all students is approaching 30 years. Occasionally a student graduates from college for the first time at the age of 70 years or older. For younger students, re-entry students are often models of dedication and hard work. Returning men and women help set a mature tone in the classroom, and their life experiences add to the enjoyment of class discussions. Instructors often notice improved student interaction in a class with a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. Students who have had careers in the workplace, the military, or as homemakers add a wealth of information and perspective to a class. Finally, the community benefits from better-educated citizens of all ages. Private businesses and government agencies get workers with better skills and the community gets better-informed citizens and voters. When students re-enter college to improve their lives, they also improve the lives of countless others.
