Pioneers sales representatives in the field used Norand hand-held terminals to upload daily sales information and do
26、wnload new price and sales incentive information. Pioneer bought so many of these hand-held-terminals, the economies made the purchase of Norand look interesting.

27、technology made the hand-held units obsolete (已废弃的 ). Pioneer sold Norand at a loss.

Additionally, my Pioneer stock was l
28、ower than it had been before the purchase of Norand. I was not pleased. The CEO of Pioneer, Tom Urban, made annual formal visits to each of the Pioneer divisions to talk about the state of the business and to listen to employees concerns. When he walked into the meeting room for his first visit afte
29、r the sale of Norand, he acknowledged the group, remove his jacket, and neatly folded it across the back of the chair.

I will continue to take risks, but I am a bit smarter now, and I will work harder for you. A great man and leader stood before us that day. As I sat listening to him,
31、 I knew I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him and to Pioneer. I also knew I could take risks in my own job.

36、小题 4】 C It is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond. Plutos recent departure from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters. Astronomers voted on August 24 to create the first scientific definition of the word planet, and Pluto obviously didnt make the cut. It
37、turned out to be only a dwarf planet (矮行星 ). After weeks of heated debate, over 2,500 astronomers from 73 countries voted on the definition of a planet at a conference of the international Astronomical Union (IAU). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighborhood around its orbit
38、. Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately, it has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptunes. It is all because, compared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptunes gravity when the two planets get closer. According to IAU, a dwarf p
39、lanet should have an orbit around the Sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood around its orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that the science textbooks will have to be updated. The solar system is now made up of the eight classical planets, together with a number of d
40、warf planets. The classical planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The debate over Plutos status started in 1992. After an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started find a belt of objects, which lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1
41、,000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the solar system. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto. It seems that even if the IAU had kept Plutos status as a planet, the classical theo
42、ry of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed, but the other way around. More dwarf, planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, Pluto is . A a planet which has a cl
43、ear neighborhood around its orbit B a satellite of Neptune which was discovered in 1930 C the smallest planet in the solar system D a planet which has an orbit around the sun 【小题 2】 The sentence It is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond quoted in the beginning of the passage is used t
44、o . A tell us a small fish can hardly survive in the big pond B tell us the size of an object really matters C mean that a small planet can hardly exist in the solar system D explain the disappearanee of Pluto in the solar system 【小题 3】 From the last paragraph we can infer that if IAU kept Plutos st
45、atus as a planet, the number of planets in the solar system would be . A eight B nine C less than nine D more than nine 【小题 4】 Which of the following statements is NOT true aceording to the passage A According to definition of a planet, if Pluto were bigger it would not have left the classic planet
46、family. B Its quite possible for dwarfs to lose if they compete with big men C Pluto has a special orbit which overlap with Neptunes, because it is so small as to be attraeted by Neptunes gravity when the two planets get closer D A dwarf planet, which can not be a satellite without a clear neighborh
47、ood around its orbit, should have an orbit around the Sun. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 B The Winter Olympics proved no match for televisions gold-medal winner, American Idol. Foxs unbelievable successful contest crashed the Olympics in head-to-head competition on Tuesday night, 27 million
48、viewers to 16.1 million, according to Nielsen Media Research. The Olympics recovered a bit after Idol went off the air, but its overall audience of 18.6 million was the least-watched winter Olympics telecast since Naganos closing ceremonies in 1998, Nielsen said. Since its opening on Friday, the Turin games have been running well below the 2002 Salt Lake City games in viewership interest. Much of that was expected, but Tuesdays
