[简答题]Can Tony Blair Save the World of Books
At the beginning of A Journey, Tony Blair boasts that he has "the soul of a rebel". Last week, he made good on that boast by conducting a gravity-defying act of literary presumption--pubhshing a hardback of some 720 pages, priced at ~25, tricked out with index, acknowledgments and 32 pages of photographic plates.
According to Cathy Rentzenbrink, manager of the Richmond Waterstone’s: "These sales are brilliant and really exciting. You don’t often have customers almost breaking down the door to buy a book, but Blair is totally outselling Mandelson. I’ve not seen anything this big since Harry Potter or Dan Brown. This looks like the Christmas book of the year." She adds: "It’s very rare for a hardback to outsell a future paperback, but this might be one of those exceptions." Rentzenbrink says she does not know its Amazon discount, or if there’s a significant ebook and audiobook sale. What

[填空题]We tend to think of memory as unique to animals. But it isn’t. Plants also have a form of memory. Yes: they, too, are shaped by what happens to them, and alter their responses to future events based on their experiences in the past.
For example, like all plants, wild tobacco, (also called Nicotiana sylvestris) can’t move to escape from its enenfies--the caterpillars (毛虫) and other animals that enjoy eating its leaves. It can, however, act to stop them. It can detect damaged leaves; in response, it produces nicotine. The nicotine travels from the roots, through the sap (树液) and into the leaves~ Nicotine apparently doesn’t taste good: caterpillars fed on leaves from plants that recently experienced damage--and so are high in nicotine--eat much less than caterpillars fed on leaves from previously undamaged plants.
But here’s the interesting part. Tobacco plants attacked for the first time take longer to mount their defense than tobacco plants that have previously experien

[单项选择]No one word demonstrated the shift in corporations’ attention in the mid-1990s from processes to people more vividly than the single word "talent". (62) the word lies the idea that more and more corporate (63) .is going to be created by knowledge and by so-called "knowledge workers". (64) labour is worth less; knowledge is worth more.

[单项选择]Let’s face it--there are lots of reasons to hate McDonald’s: calories, cholesterol and, for me at least, that sickening feeling after munching (大口咀嚼) on McNuggets. Then there’s always that kid at the drive-through who forgets the ketchup (番茄酱).
Well, add one more reason to spite McDonald’s: as the global economy spirals downward, McDonald’s is minting money. "In the worst of times for the restaurant industry, it’s the best of times for McDonald’s," says Butt Flickinger Ig, managing director of the Strategic Resources Group, a retail-consulting company. In fact, the company’s sales have increased for 55 straight months. Profits grew 11% to $1.2 billion.
The pricing of McDonald’s, highlighted by dollar-menu items like apple pies, side salads and yogurt, plus cheap combo meals is a key strength during the recession. In particular, consumers are fleeing casual, family chain restaurants for the convenience and savings of fast food.
The economy is not the only reason people ar

[单项选择]Several years ago I was teaching a course on the philosophical assumptions and cultural impact of massive multi-user online games at Williams College. The students in the course were very intelligent and obviously interested in the topic.
But as the semester progressed, I began to detect a problem with the class. The students were working hard and performing well but there was no energy in our discussions and no passion in the students. They were hesitant to express their ideas and often seemed to be going through the motions. I tried to encourage them to be more venturesome with tactics I had used successfully in the past but nothing worked.
One day I asked them what was or, perhaps better, was not going on. Why were they so cautions and where was their enthnsiasm for learning They seemed relieved to talk about it and their response surprised me. Since pre-kindergarten, they explained, they had been programmed to perform well so they could get to the next level. They had bee
