　　Since its founding in 1948, McDonald\'s has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.



　　With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald\'s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies\' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald\'s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That\'s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald\'s in India doesn\'t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.



　　Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald\'s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald\'s under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald\'s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.

But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald\'s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.



　　1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? 1



　　A. McDonald\'s was founded in 1948.

　　B. McDonald\'s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.

　　C. McDonald\'s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.



　　2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean 2 .



　　A. very crowded

　　B. very clean

　　C. existing everywhere



　　3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that 3 .



　　A. McDonald\'s designs its menu to suit the local people

　　B. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald\'s

　　C. the McDonald\'s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac



　　4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald\'s? 4



　　A. They destroyed a McDonald\'s under construction.

　　B. They protested outside a McDonald\'s.

　　C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald\'s.



　　5. In 5 , an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald\'s restaurant in France.



　　A. 1998

　　B. 1999

　　C. 2000

Liu Hui interviews Dr. Smith about the issue of educational inequality.



Liu Hui: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for agreeing to be interviewed by our Campus News Weekly. First, what do you mean by educational inequality?



Dr. Smith: Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students experience in their education as compared to other students. But the meaning of it varies in different social contexts.



Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society??

B. Chinese students and academics



C. the crisis on economic growth



D. A strong research system



E. in part because of this



　　Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, 1 , quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.



　　Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of? 2 and prepare for economic recovery.



　　As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “ 3 at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.”



　　This is precisely why? 4 should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickle-down effect on society. And it offers additional benefits 5 , though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.

　　Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman\'s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie\'s mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.



　　After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.



　　Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.



　　The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.

　　Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写才能的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?



　　Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(潜移默化)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child\'s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).



　　I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It\'s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.



　　Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!" we draw out from them the required virtue: "When you\'re walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?"



　　1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? 1



　　A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years.

　　B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

　　C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.



　　2. We can infer from the first paragraph that 2 .



　　A. there tends to be disagreement about what character education is

　　B. most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools

　　C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills



　　3. The word "philosophy" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to 3 .



　　A. study

　　B. subject

　　C. viewpoint?



　　4. The author is a 4 .



　　A. teacher

　　B. librarian

　　C. reporter?



　　5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children? 5



　　A. Story readings and discussions.

　　B. Osmosis.

　　C. Taking every opportunity to teach character.

Alternative Legal Billing – Win Strategies



　　Hourly billing is the best way to be charged for legal services. About 95 percent of lawyers still perform their legal work on an hourly basis. If you want something better than the old “bill by the hour” deal, try presenting one of these billing structures.



Project billing for routine issues



　　If your legal needs include large but repetitive tasks, consider a flat-fee approach. Once you get a project billing estimate, don\'t hesitate to shop around to compare prices and services with other law firms. A firm may provide a better deal if it expects future work from your company.



Results-oriented options



　　“Pay-according-to-success” is one choice. It considers fees based on the outcome of the case and the performance of your counsel. Contingency fees turn the matter into a shared risk or shared encouragement, making the law firm your business partner, not just representation.



Multi-layered tasks



　　If you\'re shopping for a firm for actual legal work involving a number of legal specialties, consider using blended hourly fees. The firm calculates in advance an “average” rate based on the anticipated time each lawyer spends on the matter.



　　This arrangement helps the client to avoid paying a senior partner\'s hourly rate for research that should be conducted by a junior associate.



　　Legal “Insurance”



　　The contract fee allows the client to pick up the phone and talk to the lawyer without needing to eye the clock. This approach works like a legal insurance policy. It encourages companies to contact their counsel on non-litigation, non-crisis matters, and to save money in the long run by engaging in more preventive legal action.



?



　　1. 1 is the best way to be charged for legal services.



　　A. Results-oriented billing

　　B. Hourly billing

　　C. Flat-fee billing



　　2. A flat-fee approach 2 .



　　A. is suitable for repetitive tasks

　　4. Legal work involving a number of legal specialties should consider using 4 .



　　A. blended hourly fees

　　B. insurance fees

　　C. hourly fees



　　5. You have to eye the clock when you talk to the lawyer when you choose 5 .

　　B. the old “bill by the hour” deal
