Mr. Gong was angry when he found out that his 12-year-old child had spent 13, 272 yuan from March 17 to 21 when playing video games on his mobile phone. Gong made a complaint and required the video game company to return all the money. But "it's up in the air so far, " Gong told Workers' Daily.This is not a single case in which children have paid a great deal of money to play online games. The Guangdong Consumer Council (消费者委员会) has received more than 10, 000 simiar complaints from local parents in the first three months of this year.Because of the increasing number of similar cases, the council talked with many online game companies in the province, strongly suggesting that they should introduce useful methods to protect the consumer rights of children.ln fact, many online companies and mobile apps have provided a youth mode (模式), announcing that parents can control the content and limit the time their children spend in using the apps.However, according to a consumer survey report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council, some of the protection modes of companies such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili and Team Talk are far from useful.For example, users of all of the above companies can extend watching time by entering a password (密码). Team Talk's youth mode is no different from the usual mode, which means that children can watch all content. Wang Yihan, 16, from Fuzhou No. 1 High School, shared her experience. She said, "Some apps would only send a notice to check whether the user is 18 years old. The user can simply choose 'Yes' and start playing the game. It's no good."According to Guangdong Consumer Council, game companies are being advised to introduce different methods to check who the players are, including fingerprint, password or facial recognition (人脸识别) when children pay to play online games.(1)From the underlined sentence "it's up in the air so far", we can guess .A.the company ran out of money thenB.Mr. Gong hasn't got the money backC.the company threw the money into the airD.Mr. Gong thanked Workers' Daily for helping him(2)The council talked to many companies because .A.they provided a youth mode for childrenB.they refused to do what they were told toC.the number of complaint cases was risingD.Mr. Gong wanted to get all the money back(3)What's the meaning of the word "extend" in Paragraph 6?

Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth—they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤). In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes—then filtering it after it cools—could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types—polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene—and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure—a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are—but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer at the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?A. By quoting an expert.B. By defining a concept.C. By giving examples.D. By providing statistics.33. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?A. The hardness of water.B. The length of cooling time.C. The frequency of filtering.D. The type of plastic in water.34. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?A. The importance of plastic recycling.B. The severity of the microplastic problem.C. The danger in overusing pure water.D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.35. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?A. Choice of new research methods.B. Possible direction for further study.C. Need to involve more researchers.D. Potential application of the findings.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
