Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT com??pany fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in Chi??na. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Mo??tors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood—our jobs, the Industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face more changes and cha??llenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved?
whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely, Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign com??panies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.

Everyone knows how a fishing calendar(日历) works: it tells you when you have the best chance of catching the most fish. This year, though, Kelson Poepoe, a conservationist on Hawaii’s
Many of the
The new calendar is based on the ancient fishing practices that have helped keep those populations strong. Hawaiians have long known that carefully tended resources will renew themselves. To make this process easier, fishermen traditionally worked hard to understand and adapt to fish behavior. For example, they closely monitored where and when key species gathered to reproduce, and they prevented fishing during those times. By contrast, most of today’s fishermen see spawning(产卵) periods as a chance to get large numbers of fish, which can cause population break down.
While these traditional methods have largely died out, they are still practiced by Poepoe and his fellow men at Mo’omomi Bay. “We have a rule of conduct that basically says, take only what you can eat fresh, don’t stock your fridge, and don’t take the fish when they spawn,” Poepoe said.
In 1993, Poepoe helped found the conservation group Hui Malama Mo’omomi to teach those practices to new generations, and publishing the calendar is a key part of this move. It follows the lunar cycle, declaring when certain species are not available or “taboo.” It also includes helpful hints about fish lifecycles, detailing exactly where in the bay certain kinds of fish like to gather, how to tell males from females, and which fishing methods are least likely to harm fish populations long-term.
So far, these methods have helped keep Mo’omomi Bay’s fish number totals far higher than elsewhere in the surrounding islands.
With hopes of copying this success, a number of local groups are interested in creating similar calendars for other coastal areas. But that’s a difficult project, partly because fish habits are highly local, meaning that the information in the calendar applies mainly to Mo’omomi Bay. Still, these groups believe the basic methods are transferable.
51. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. New lunar calendar tells Hawaiians when not to fish.
B. Traditional methods prevent fishermen from fishing.
C. A conservation group was founded in
D. Less fish will be caught in Hawaii Mo’omomi Bay in future.
52. According to the passage, Poepoe’s new calendar ________.
A. decides the best time for fishing
B. makes Mo’omomi Bay’s fishery booming
C. is based on the regular fishing calendar
D. helps to take care of fishing resources
53. The underlined words “those practices” in Paragraph 5 refer to ________.
A. the foundation of the conservation group
B. understanding of fish behaviours
C. Hawaiian traditional methods of fishing
D. modern fishermen’s fishing behaviours
54. To use a similar new calendar for other coastal areas, people have to ________.
A. fish only when key species gather to reproduce
B. understand and adapt to fish behavior there
C. learn how to tell males from females
D. keep fish number totals high
55. It seems that most modern fishermen ________.
A. may use the new fishing calendar soon
B. are likely to catch fish during spawning periods
C. fish much more than what they can eat fresh
D. try their best not to harm fish populations long-term

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have yon been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found men than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two fights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health．Britain’s largest health charity. The results were astonishing．
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it'8 no wonder that one in six children m the UK are classified as obese （very fat） before they start school．
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake．but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.
“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks.”
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the mo．t inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, follow．d closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%．
The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady crease for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．
1．What causes children in the UK to be, obese?
A．Eating ready meal B．Watching TV
C．Doing Internet shopping D．Being lazy
2．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．British people are too lazy to do anything．
B．internet shopping will do harm to your health．
C．Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain．
D．People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit．
3．Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
A．One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV．
B．People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit．
C．Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer．
D．More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago．
4．What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?
A．basic B．serious C．vital D．hard
5．All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except _____．
A．Glasgow B．Birmingham C．Nuffield D．Southampton
