An embarrassing experience

It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport．I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happeningbefore I reached my flat．In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by theBritish customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty．Itwas, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed mydiplomacy．I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question,"have you read this？" I replied with extreme foolishness,"Yes, hundreds of times．"

"And you have nothing to declare？"

"Nothing．"

"How long have you been out of this country？"

"About three months．"

"And during that time you have acquired nothing？"

"Nothing but what is on the list I have given you．"

He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked．The attack, when it came, was utterlyunexpected．

"Where did you get that watch？"

I could have kicked myself．Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in thebath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped．I hadgone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made astrange noise．It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey．

I explained, but I had already lost face．I produced my own watch from a pocket, and addedthat I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement．

"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiablegoods．And now may I please examine that Rolex？"

It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then hebegan to search my luggage．

When did the writer arrive at London airport？ 查看材料

A.In the early morning．

B.Late at night．

C.At noon．

D.Late in the morning．

听力原文： As my train was not due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect my suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting. I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found.

When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. He then handed me a form. and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. Only when they were correct could I take the case away. I racked my brain trying to remember all the articles I had packed in a hurry. After I had filled out the form, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases and for one dreadful moment I began to worry that someone might have already claimed my case. To my great relief, the case was lying on its side high up in a corner. After I had examined the items inside, the assistant told me to take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the "lost" receipt flipped out with it. Blushing, I looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen.

A．A Trip by Train.

B．The "Lost" Receipt.

C．An Embarrassing Moment.

D．At the Luggage Office.

2 The risk committee at Southern Continents Company (SCC) met to discuss a report by its risk manager, Stephanie

Field. The report focused on a number of risks that applied to a chemicals factory recently acquired by SCC in another

country, Southland. She explained that the new risks related to the security of the factory in Southland in respect of

burglary, to the supply of one of the key raw materials that experienced fluctuations in world supply and also an

environmental risk. The environmental risk, Stephanie explained, was to do with the possibility of poisonous

emissions from the Southland factory.

The SCC chief executive, Choo Wang, who chaired the risk committee, said that the Southland factory was important

to him for two reasons. First, he said it was strategically important to the company. Second, it was important because

his own bonuses depended upon it. He said that because he had personally negotiated the purchase of the Southland

factory, the remunerations committee had included a performance bonus on his salary based on the success of the

Southland investment. He told Stephanie that a performance-related bonus was payable when and if the factory

achieved a certain level of output that Choo considered to be ambitious. ‘I don’t get any bonus at all until we reach

a high level of output from the factory,’ he said. ‘So I don’t care what the risks are, we will have to manage them.’

Stephanie explained that one of her main concerns arose because the employees at the factory in Southland were not

aware of the importance of risk management to SCC. She said that the former owner of the factory paid less attention

to risk issues and so the staff were not as aware of risk as Stephanie would like them to be. ‘I would like to get risk

awareness embedded in the culture at the Southland factory,’ she said.

Choo Wang said that he knew from Stephanie’s report what the risks were, but that he wanted somebody to explain

to him what strategies SCC could use to manage the risks.

Required:

(a) Describe four strategies that can be used to manage risk and identify, with reasons, an appropriate strategy

for each of the three risks mentioned in the case. (12 marks)

A. since

B. when

C. lest

D. as if

It's very interesting to study names of different countries. Chinese names are different from foreign names. Once an English lady came to {look at; watch; visit} me. When I was introduced to her she said, “Glad to meet you, Miss Ping.” Then she gave me her name card with three words on itA、“Betty J. Black”. So I said, “Thank you, Miss Betty.” We looked at each other and laughed heartily. Later I found that the English people {put; brought; took} their family names last and the given names first, while their middles are not used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name {came; comes; put} first, the given name last, so she {would; could; should} never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didn't. But people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first, the other words after it {is; was; are} a two-word given name. It is quite usual in China. My sister is Li Xiaofang. She has two words in her given name instead of just one like mine.

Passage 1

Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. economy _1_ during the’90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the high-technology route. But how？ The answer seemed obvious: Indians. The German government decided that it would _2_ Indians to Germany just as America does: by offering green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and announced that they would issue 20,000 in the first year. Naturally, the Germans expected that tens of thousands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the _3_ would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later barely half of the 20,000 cards had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was _4_. I told the German official at the time that I was sure the _5_ would fail. Because the German Green Card never, under any circumstances, translated into German citizenship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost _6_ path to becoming American (after five years and a clean record). The official _7_ my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. “All we need are young tech workers，”he said. So Germany was asking bright young _8_ to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, learn a new language and work in a strange land一but without any _9_ of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was _10_ received in India and other countries, and also by Germany’s own immigrant community.
