News Report 2

Big fast-food chains in New York City have started to obey a

first-of-its-kind rule requiring them to post calorie counts right the menu.

纽约市的大型快餐连锁店迎来了一项史无前例的新规定，这一规定要求他们在菜单上附上卡路里含量表。

Cathy Nonas is with the New York City Department of Health.

纽约市健康部的凯西·诺娜说：

"We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchase the food and make a decision, an informed decision,

“我们希望让消费者能够在知情的情况下做出购物决定。

that if they want to make the healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories, they can.

如果他们希望买更健康的食物，想摄入更少的热量，这是可以实现的。

And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity.

我们认为这项规定会对肥胖问题带来很大改善。

And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes, and heart disease, and high blood pressure."

当然，如果它能改善肥胖问题，那么它也就会降低糖尿病、心脏病和高血压的患病率。

The new rules were introduced as part of an anti-obesity campaign that also includes a recent citywide ban on artificial trans-fats in restaurant food.

这项规定是该城市最近发起的反肥胖症运动的一部分。此次反肥胖症运动还颁布了一条禁止全城餐馆使用人工反式脂肪的禁令。

The menu rule only applies to restaurants that serve standardized portion sizes and have 15 or more locations nationwide.

菜单新规只适用于提供标准化饮食份量、并在全国有15家或以上连锁店的餐馆。

Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties of up to 2000 dollars for not showing calorie

information in a prominent spot on their menus, preferably next to the price.

News Report 3

Almost all companies recognize the importance of innovation today.如今，几乎所有的公司都知道创新的重要性，

But not many are able to integrate innovation into their business.但是真正能够将创新融入到其业务当中的却不多。

A commentary in the Shanghai Daily points out that innovation doesn't mean piles of documents.

《上海日报》的一篇评论文章指出，发明并不简单的是一摞摞的文件。

It is something more practical.

而是实际的东西。

The article says many people tend to assume that innovation just means creating something new,but actually it's more than that.

文章中说到，很多人认为发明就是创造出新的东西，但事实上不止如此。

It's an attitude of doing things.

它还代表了一种做事的方式。

A company should find ways to innovate not just in products but also in functions, business models and processes.

一个公司要寻求的不仅仅是产品创新，还应寻求运营、商业模式和流程方面的创新。

The article cites the global giant Procter & Gamble as an example, saying a real innovative company should develop an innovation culture and use it as a primary tool for success.

文章还引用了宝洁公司为例，称真正有创新精神的公司应该发展创新文化，并以其作为成功的主要工具。

Procter & Gamble has a "Corporate Innovation Fund" which offers big rewards for high-risk ideas that succeed.

宝洁公司有一个“企业创新基金”，该基金用于奖励获得成功的大胆创意。It also has a special innovation facility for its employees.

该公司还有专门的员工创新基地。

Sometimes its employees are released from their daily jobs for weeks and spend their time interacting in the innovation facility instead.有时候员工几个星期不去公司上班，而是在创新基地一起互动交流。

In conclusion, the article says innovative ideas alone do not ensure success.

归结起来，这篇文章表达的意思是创新的想法未必意味着成功。

It's pointless unless there is repeatable process in place to turn inspiration into financial performance.

如果不能将灵感通过某个过程转化为财务收益，所有的想法都是徒劳。Questions 5 and 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.请根据你刚刚听到的新闻报道回答第5-7题。

5. What is the problem with many companies according to the news report?新闻报道中指出很多公司的问题是什么？

6. What do many people tend to think of innovation?

Conversation One

M: So, Lyndsay, do you like to text message on your cell phone?

男士：林赛，你喜欢用手机发短信吗？

W: Yeah, I text message a lot.

女士：喜欢啊，我经常发。

M: I don't do it so much. I prefer to make a call if I'm in a hurry.男士：我不是很喜欢。如果有急事我更喜欢打电话。

W: Yeah, I go both ways. Sometimes I don't really want to talk to the person. I just want to ask them one question, so it's much easier for me just to text message. If I call them, I'll have to have a long conversation.

女士：嗯，我两个都用。有时候我真的很不想和人说话。如果我只是想问一个问题，那发短信就简单多了。但是如果打电话，就得进行一次很长的对话。M:Yeah, I can see what you mean. But I get off the phone pretty quickly when I call. I'm not a big talker.

男士：是的，我明白你的意思。但是我和别人打电话用的时间很短。我不是爱聊天的人。

W: Yeah, that's true. You don't talk a lot.

女士：你的确不太爱说话。

M: So are you fast at writing the messages with your thumb?

男士：那你发短信时打字快吗？

W:Well, when I first got a cell phone, I was so slow. I thought I would never text message. But then people kept text messaging me, so I felt obliged to learn how to text message. So now I'm pretty fast. What about you?

女士：啊，我刚用手机时，打字很慢。我想我永远都不会发短信。但是人们不断地给我发短信，弄得我不得不学。因此现在我打字很快了。你呢？

M:Actually I have the opposite problem. When I first got my cell phone, I thought it was so cool to text message all my friends who have one, and I was pretty fast with my thumb then. But it seems like now I don't use it so much, I've got slower actually.

男士：其实我刚好和你相反。我刚买手机的时候，给所有有手机的朋友都发短信，当时觉得那是一件很酷的事，所以那时候我的手很麻利。但是现在我不太发短信了，所以似乎也生疏了许多。

W: Yeah, I think text messaging actually sort of has to do with your age. For example, people in high school, they text message a lot. But I ask my father if he text messages, and guess what he said?

女士：是的，我觉得是否喜欢发短信和年龄也有一定的关系。比如，高中生很爱发短信。但是我问我的父亲他是否发短信，你猜他怎么说？

M: What?

男士：怎么说？

W: He said he never text messaged. He thinks it's very childish and unprofessional to text message.

女士：他说他从来没有发过。他说发短信很幼稚，而且很不专业。

M: Yeah, I can see what he means. It's considered pretty informal to text message someone.

男士：嗯，我能理解他。给别人发短信的确感觉很不正式。

does the man say about himself?

关于自己男士说了什么？

9. What does the woman tend to do while she is on the phone?

10. Why did the man text message all his friends when he first got his cell phone?

does the Woman's father think of text messaging?

Conversation Two

W: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. How can I help you?

女士：约翰逊先生早上好。有什么需要我帮您的吗？

M:Well, I'd like to talk to you about Tim Bond, the department manager.男士：嗯，我想就我们的部门经理蒂姆·邦德跟你谈一下。

W: What seems to be the problem?

女士：是什么事？

M:Well, ever since Sandra left the department, I feel like I’ve been targeted to do all her work as well as mine. I'm expected to attend too many meetings and I seem to be spending a lot of my time doing unnecessary paperwork.

男士：啊，自从桑德拉离开我们部门之后，我感觉我就承包了她的工作，一直干两个人的活儿。我需要参加很多会议，而且浪费很多时间在做一些不重要的文书工作上。

W: I'm sorry to hear that.

女士：听你这么说我很遗憾。

M: And, on top of that, I'd specifically asked if I could leave early last Friday as I'd done a lot of overtime during the week. But that afternoon, even though I'd finished my assigned work, I was told to help other colleagues finish their work, too.

男士：而且还有，上周五我明确提出希望早点下班，因为那一周我已经加班很多了。但是我下午完成分配给我的任务之后，他又让我帮助其他同事。W: But surely that's a positive sign showing that Mr. Bond has a lot of trust in you.

女士：但是这明显表明邦德先生很信任你啊。

M: Yes, but other colleagues get to leave early, and they don't have such a lot of work to do.

男士：是的，但是其他同事都可以早点下班，他们也没有很多工作要做。W: So you feel he's been making unrealistic demands on you?

女士：那么你是觉得他对你的要求过于高了对吗？

M: Yes, absolutely.

男士：对，是的。

W: Have you approached Mr. Bond about this particular problem?

女士：你就这个问题找过邦德先生吗？

M: I've tried, but it seems like he just has no time for me.

男士：我试过，但是他似乎没有时间理我。

W: Well, at this stage, it would be better if you approached him directly. If nothing else showing that you've tried to solve the problem yourself, before you take it farther, makes it clear that you're not just a complainer. Why don't you send an email requesting a meeting with him in private?

女士：那么，现阶段，还是你直接找他比较好。在采取进一步措施之前，最起码你表现出愿意自己解决问题，这能证明你不是一个只会抱怨的人。你何不给他发一封邮件要求和他私下谈一谈呢？

M:Hmm, I’ve been a bit worried about his reaction. But anyway I'll send him an email to request a meeting, and I'll see what happens from there. Thanks for your advice.

男士：嗯，我一直担心他会是什么反应。无论如何，我会给他发邮件，然后看事态会如何发展。谢谢你的建议。

W: Good luck and let us know the outcome.

女士：祝你好运。有了结果之后请告知我们。

12 What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

根据对话我们对男士有哪些了解？

13 What is the man's chief complaint?

男士抱怨的主要问题是什么？

14 How does the woman interpret the fact that the man was asked to help his colleagues with their work?

女士是如何解读该男士被要求帮助同事完成工作这件事的？

15 What did the woman advise the man to do?

女士建议男士怎么做？

Passage One

The massive decline in sleep happened so slowly and quietly that few seemed to notice the trend.

人们的睡眠时间在逐渐减少，然而这一发展趋势是如此缓慢、悄然，以至于很少有人察觉。

Was it because of the growing attraction of the Internet, video games and endless TV channels? Never disconnecting from work?

是因为网络、视频游戏和无间断播放的电视节目吸引力太大了吗？还是因为处于工作需要要时刻保持联络方式畅通？

No matter how it happened, millions of Americans are putting their health, quality of life and even length of life in danger.

无论是什么原因，美国人都已经让自己的健康、生活品质甚至寿命面临风险。New evidence shows why getting enough sleep is a top priority.

有新证据证明了充足睡眠的头等重要地位。

Some 40 percent of Americans get less than seven hours of shut-eye on weeknights.

40%的美国人在工作日每天睡眠时间少于7个小时。

"The link between sleep and health, and bad sleep and disease, is becoming clearer and clearer," says Lawrence Epstein, a sleep expert at Harvard University.

哈佛大学睡眠研究专家，劳伦斯·艾普斯坦说，“睡眠与健康之间，以及缺乏睡眠与疾病之间的联系已经日益明显”。

For example, sleep duration has declined from some eight hours in the 1950s to seven in recent years.

比如：近年来人们的睡眠时长已经从20世纪50年代的八小时缩短到七小时。At the same time, high blood pressure has become an increasing problem.同时，高血压的发病率在不断升高。

Blood pressure and heart rate are typically at their lowest levels during sleep;

通常，人睡着时血压和心率处于最低水平。

people who sleep less tend to have higher blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, weight gain and other problems.

睡眠少的人可能患上高血压、心脏病、糖尿病；或者出现肥胖等其他问题。Sleeping better may help fight off illness.

好的睡眠能够抵御疾病。

"When people are sleep-deprived, there are higher levels of stress hormones in their bodies, which can decrease immune function,"

“人们缺乏睡眠时，体内的压力荷尔蒙水平较高，导致免疫功能降低，”says Dr. Phyllis Zee of Northwestern University in Chicago.

芝加哥西北大学菲利斯·徐说道。

A University of Chicago study shows people who sleep well live longer.芝加哥大学一项研究表明睡眠质量好的人寿命更长。

So say good night sooner, and it may help you stay active and vital to a ripe old age.

所以，早点睡觉，这样你才能有一个充满活力的晚年。

Question 2：Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission?
