行业精英 industry elites n．（pl）
Micro-blogs，a new format of communication，are becoming more and more popular．Many industry elites or public figures post news or express ideas through micro-blogs，which has produced different impacts on society．Generally speaking，most of them use micro-blogs to convey positive messages to the public．For example，they encourage people to help those who badly need help．However，some of them behave differently．Sometimes their micro-blogs are full of dirty words，gossip or rumors，which has a bad effect on the people around them．Therefore，any improper message posted there should be deleted by the website operators and that's their duty，I think，for micro-blogs are just like a real world，where everybody should obey the laws and the moral codes，and no absolute freedom should exist there at all．Only in this way can people tell right from wrong without misled．

10．Last spring，employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies．A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike．Here is part of the report．
●Hartville's overtime pay is well below the national level，and overtime is obliged at least once a week．
●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rate of repetitive （重复的） stress injury．The equipment they are working with is extremely old and dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards．The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately．
●Sick and personal day policies are unclear．Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days，which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action．

B．they are unaware of the degree of dissatisfaction among their employees
C．the company authority restricts its management function
D．they have not been trained in the latest management techniques
67．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the findings？A
A．A suggestion to raise employees'pay and reduce work time．

（注意：短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数．）
These years in China，there have been lots of senior high students whoThese years in China，there have been lots of senior high students who pay little attention to Chinese learning．In fact，they would rather spend much time on other subjects，such as English，maths and physics than learn and go over Chinese．描述现象
I suppose there are at least two reasons．Firstly，they think they are all native Chinese，and have been able to speak Chinese very well．They regard Chinese as only a tool for basic communication，so they don't have to make themselves an expert of the Chinese language．On the other hand，they always find even they have studied hard on Chinese for a period，they still cann't get good marks in all exams．As a result，they give up Chinese．分析原因
I used to learn Chinese very hard but the result is not satisfactory．I believe Chinese is important and I must learn it better．自身的经历和看法．
