　　Passage 1

　　Topic  Koalas

　　内容方面

　　A. Koalas are just too nice for their own good. And except for the occasional baby taken by

　　birds of prey, koalas have no natural enemies. In an ideal world, the life of an arboreal couch

　　potato would be perfectly safe and acceptable.

　　B. Just two hundred years ago, koalas flourished across Australia. Now they seem to be in

　　decline, but exact numbers are not available as the species would not seem to be 'under

　　threat'. Their problem, however, has been nan, more specifically, the white man. Koala and

　　aborigine had co-existed peacefully for centuries.

　　C. Today koalas are found only in scatered pockets of southeast Australia where they

　　seem to be at the risk on several fronts. The koala's only food source, the eucalyptus tree，

　　has declined. In the past 200 years, a third of Australia's eucalyptus forests have

　　disappeared. Koalas have been killed by parasites, chlamydia epidemics and a

　　tumour-causing retro-virus. And every year 11000 are killed by cars, ironically most of them

　　in wildlife sanctuaries, and thousands are klled by poachers. Some are also taken ilally

　　as pets. The animals usually soon die, but they are easily replaced.

　　D. Bush fires pose another threat. The horrific ones that raged in New South Wales recently

　　Killed between 100 and 1000 Koalas. Many that were taken into sanctuaries and shelters

　　were found to have burnt their paws on the glowing embers .But zoologists say that the

　　species should recover. The Koalas will be aided by the eucalyptus, which grows quickly

　　and is already burgeoning forth after the fires. So the main problem to their survival is their

　　slow reproductive rate - they produce only one baby a year over a reproductive lifespan of

　　about nine years.

　　E. The latest problem for the species is perhaps more insidious. With plush, grey fur, dark

　　amber eyes and button nose, koalas are cuddliness incamate Australian zo0s and wildlife

　　parks have taken advantage of their uncomplaining atitudes, and charge visitors to be

　　photogr aphed hugging the furry bundles. But people may not realise how cruel this is, but

　　because of the koala's delicate disposition, constant handling can push an already

　　precariously balanced physiology over the edge.

　　F. Koalas only eat the foliage of certain species of eucalyptus trees, between 600 and 1250

　　grams a day. The tough leaves are packed with cellulose ，tannins, aromatic oils and

　　precursors of toxic cyanides. To handle this cocktail, koalas have a specialised digestive

　　system. Cellulose-digesting bacteria in the caecum

　　break down fibre, while a specially

　　adapted gut and liver process the toxins. To digest their food property, koalas must sit still for

　　21 hours every day.

　　G. Koalas are the epitome of innocence and inoffensiveness. Although they are capable of

　　ripping open a man's arm with their needle-sharp claws, or giving a nasty nip, they simply

　　wouldn't. If you upset a koala, it may blink or swallow, or hiccup. But attack? No way! Koalas

　　are just not aggressive. "They use their claws to grip the hard smooth bark of eucalyptus

　　trees.

　　H. They are also very sensitive,. and the slightest upset can prevent them from breeding,

　　cause them to go off their food, and succumb to gut infections. Koalas are stoic creatures

　　and put on a brave face until they are at death's door. One day they may appear healthy, the

　　next they could be dead. Captive koalas have to be weighed daily to check that they are

　　feeding properly. A sudden loss of weight is usually the only warning keepers have that their

　　charge is il. Only two keepers plus a vet were allowed to handle London Zoo's koalas, as

　　these creatures are only comfortable with people they know. A request for the koala to be

　　taken to Beet the Queen was refused because of the distress this would have caused the

　　marsupial. Sadly. London's Zoo no longer has a koala. Two years ago the female koala died

　　of a cancer caused by a retrovirus. When they come into heat, female koalas become more

　　active, and start losing weight, but after about sixteen days, heat ends and the weight piles

　　back on. London' s koala did not. Surgery revealed hundreds of pea-sized tumours.

　　I. Almost every z00 in ; Australia has koalas-the marsupial has become the Animal

　　Ambass ador of the nation, but nowhere outside Australia would handling by the public be

　　allowed. Koala cuddling screams in the face of every rule of good care. First, some zoos

　　allow koalas to be passed from stranger to stranger, many children who love to squeeze.

　　Secondly, most people have no idea of how to handle the animals: they like to cling on to

　　their handler, all in their own good fime and use his or her arm as a tree. For such reasons,

　　the Association of Fauna and Marine parks, an Australian conservation society is

　　campaigning to ban koala cuddling. Policy on koala handling is determined by state

　　goverment authorities. "And the largest of the numbers in the Australian nature

　　Conservation Agengy, with the aim of instituting national guidelines. Following a wave of

　　publicity, some z00S and wildlife parks have stopped tuming their koalas into photo.

　　Passage2

　　Topic   All about chocolate

　　All about chocolate

　　Chocolate is the best-known food that nobody knows anything about it. This article reveals

　　the mystery of the bittersweet food.

　　A. When most of us hear the word chocolate, we picture a bar, a box of bonbons, or a

　　bunny. The verb that comes to mind is probably "eat," not "drink," and the most apt adjective

　　would seem to be "sweet." But for about 90 percent of chocolate's long history, it was strictly

　　a beverage, and sugar didn't have anything to do with it.

　　B. The terminology can be a lttle confusing, but most experts these days use the term

　　"cacao" to refer to the plant or its beans before processing,"I often call chocolate the

　　best- known food that nobody knows anything about," said Alexandra Leaf, a self described

　　"chocolate educator" who runs a business called Chocolate Tours of New York City. The

　　term“chocolate" refers to anything made from the beans, she explained. "Cocoa" generally

　　refers to chocolate in a powdered form, although it can also be a British form of "cacao.'

　　Etymologists trace the origin of the word "chocolate" to the Aztec word' xocoatl," which

　　referred to a bitter drink brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree,

　　Theobeomacacao , means "food of the gods."

　　C. Many modem historians have estimated that chocolate has been around for about 2000

　　years, but recent research suggests that it may be even older. In the book The True History

　　of Chocolate, authors Sophie and Michael Coe make a case that the earliest linguistic

　　evidence of chocolate consumption stretches back to three or even four millennia, to

　　pre-Columbian cultures of Mesoamerica such as the Olmec.

　　D. Last November, anthropologists from the University of PennsyIvania announced the

　　discovery of cacao residue on pottery excavated in Honduras that could date back as far as

　　1400 B.C. It appears that the sweet pulp of the cacao fruit, which surrounds the beans, was

　　fermented into an alcoholic beverage of the time.

　　E. It's hard to pin down exactly when chocolate was born, but it's dlear that it was cherished

　　from the start. For several centuries in pre-modern Latin America, cacao beans were

　　considered valuable enough to use as currency. One bean could be traded for a tamale,

　　while 100 beans could purchase a good turkey hen, according to a 1 6th-century Aztec

　　document.Both the Mayans and Aztecs believed the cacao bean had magical, or even

　　divine, properties, suitable for use in the most sacred rituals of birth, marriage and death.

　　According to the book The Chocolate Connoisseur, Aztec sacrifce victims who felt too

　　melancholy to join in ritual dancing before their death were often given a gourd of chocolate

　　(tinged with the blood of previous victims) to cheer them up.

　　F. Sweetened chocolate didn't appear until Europeans discovered the Americas and

　　sampled the native cuisine. Legend has it that the Aztec king Montezuma welcomed the

　　Spanish explorer Hemando Cortes with a banquet that indluded drinking chocolate, having

　　tragically mistaken him for a reincamated deity instead of a conquering invader. Chocolate

　　didn't suit the foreigners' taste buds at first- one described it in his writings as“a bitter drink

　　for pigs"- -but once mixed with cane sugar, or if it is available, honey, it quickly became

　　popular throughout Spain. By the 1 7th century, chocolate was a fashionable drink throughout

　　Europe, believed to have nutritious, medicinal and even aphrodisiac properties. But it

　　remained largely a privilege of the rich until the invention of the steam engine made mass

　　production possible in the late 1700s.

　　G. In 1828, a Dutch chemist found a way to make powdered chocolate by removing about

　　half the natural fat (cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, pulverizing what remained and

　　treating the mixture with alkaline salts to cut the bitter taste. His product became known as

　　"Dutch cocoa," and it soon led to the creation of solid chocolate. The creation of the first

　　modern chocolate bar is credited to Joseph Fry, who in 1847 discovered that he could make

　　a moldable chocolate paste by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa. By 1868,

　　a lttle company called Cadbury was marketing boxes of chocolate candies in England. Milk

　　chocolate hit the market a few years later, pioneered by another name that may ring a

　　bell- -Nestle.

　　H. In modem society,additives and sugars were added to cacao, more like candies than

　　chocolates.

　　I. The United States accounts for 20% of the world's chocolate consumption. Women [91%]

　　prefer to eat chocolate more than men [87%]. The average person consumes 11 kilograms

　　every day.

　　Passage 3

　　Topic

　　Case study of fle xible working: Frank Russell Company

　　CASE STUDY IN FLEXIBLE WORKING: FRANK RUSSELL COMPANY

　　A. Two phrases that Frank Russell Company uses to identify itself also suggest why flexible

　　work options are a perfect fit for this American financial services firm. The sun never sets in

　　Russell' means this 24-hour, multi-country organizations' flexible work hours are essential to

　　conducting its business. "Employees first, dlients second' expresses the bottom line worth

　　that management sees in employee satisfaction and creating an excellent work environment

　　that indludes opportunities to work from home. Telework, (ie. working away from the

　　traditional office) compressed workweeks and flextime serve Rusell both as strategic

　　business tools and valued employee benefits. 'Of we have happy staff frst, we will have

　　happy dlient,' says Mike Phillips, the company's chief executive .

　　B. Flexible work options are offered in all departments, but the level and type of use vary

　　widely among the 970 employees based at the company's headquaters in Tacoma,

　　Washington State. In. the early 1990s, several work groups pioneered various forms of

　　flexible working, induding telework. As the programs spread, management discovered one

　　size does not ft all. Rather than attempt to cover every possibity, Russell now provides

　　general guidelines under which departments customize plans to accommodate individuals'

　　personal circumstances.

　　C. Implementing telework becomes less of a leap when a company's staf and clients are

　　already scattered around the world. Pam Johnson, Manager of Intemational Assignments,

　　works in Tacoma but reports to a supervisor based in London. She is responsible for

　　transfers of staff from. one country to another, including negotiating the terms, shipping

　　belongings and obtaining work permits. She works from home several times a month.

　　answer emails.' Johnson says she is a more loyal employee because of the combination of

　　benefits, flexibility and trust her employer offers. 'I've been here 11 years. Once in a while

　　wonder if I should look elsewhere, but the opportunity to flex my hours and work at home are

　　part of the formula that always ends up on the Russell side.

　　D. Email and technology such as remote network access not only transformed the office

　　environment and the communication abilities between branch offices, they supported the

　　growth of telework. Mike Phillips is as reliant on email and remote access as anyone,

　　regardless of whether he is working in Singapore, Tacoma or from home. 'Email is our

　　primary means of communication,' Pilips says. 1 can get up two hours early Singapore and

　　respond to 20 emails from associates around the world or send a company-wide memo from

　　home.'

　　E. The ability to vary start times or work the longer days of a compressed workweek are a

　　way of doing business at Russell. An earlier start or a longer day increases telephone

　　communication with international staff. In addition, since the New York Exchange opens at 9

　　a.m, traders on the West Coast need to start by 6 a.m local time. Another group, which

　　provides desktop computer support, finds four 10-hour days make it easier to accomplish

　　some tasks before or after employees need to use their computers.

　　F. The larger consulting department offers compressed workweeks to administrative staff.

　　Administrative Assistant Jean Boelk works different proportions of altermate weeks in order

　　to receive one extra day off every other week. She is part of team of four administrative staff

　　who jointy support a work group of four executives. People are more willing to help each

　　other because we're dependent on each other on our days off, Boelk says. Increasing the

　　hours of coverage, plus the idea of cross-training and shared work, results in less overtime.

　　So long as coverage is adequate, staff can change days off from one pay period to the next.

　　G. What motivates teleworkers is usually a combination of work and personal needs. Senior

　　Technical Analyst Scott Boyd, who is in the Computer Operation section, works at home

　　twice a month. Boyd's job involves responding to telephone requests, and in the ffice it's

　　hard to work longer than 10 minutes without getting interrupted by the phone. lt's an

　　incredible relief to be so productive for one day at home,'he says.

　　H. Anumber of managers also find that working at home improves their overall

　　performance. Sales and Marketing Services Manager Tricia O'Connell works at home

　　approximately two days a month. She gives staff her home telephone number and advance

　　notice of her plans, then checks voice mail every half hour and email every hour from home.

　　In addition, she schedules weekly meetings in her office with each of eight members of her

　　team to discuss challenges and encourage top performance. 'This means I am more able to

　　focus on staff when it counts,' she says.I

　　In the end, management asks two questions

　　when making decisions about work option requests: 1) Will it improve overall employee

　　satisfaction or job performance? and 2) Will it hurt performance of duties in some way that it

　　not acceptable or is not offset by other improvements? For Frank Russell Company, the

　　answers these questions show that flexible working is highly satisfactory for business.
