18、on sense,“ says Alfred Boza, a Miami Beach police detective. Know, for instance, that thieves could be watching for you to leave your bags unattended briefly at airport security checkpoints. If youre driving in unfamiliar places, keep as little as possible in your cars passenger area, where “smash a
19、nd grab“ thieves can get it. That means hiding luggage in the trunk and leaving nothing of value inside the passenger area when the car is parked. Also never leave maps-the mark of a tourist-visible. “Know where youre going before you get there,“ Boza says. “When shopping, leave your most expensive
20、purchase for last.“ Ask at your hotel what parts of the city are dangerous, and avoid them. Before leaving his hotel room, Robin Myers, a computer researcher in Cupertino, Calif. , puts cameras and other articles too large for the hotel safe into luggage with combination locks. Wherever you are - in

25、 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 33 Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it
26、has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all know
27、n languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Ind
28、ians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, bu
29、t they are no more primitive than. English and Greek. A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and norm
30、al for language to changes the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occu
31、r very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language. 34 In the second paragraph the author thinks that . （ A） some backward race doesnt have a language of its own （ B） some race in history didnt possess a language of its own （ C） any human race, whether backward or not, has a languag
32、e （ D） some races on earth can communicate without language 35 According to the author, people of undeveloped cultures can have languages. （ A） complicated （ B） uncivilized （ C） primitive （ D） well known 36 The author has used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are . （ A） just
33、 as old as some well-known languages （ B） just as sophisticated as some well-known languages （ C） more developed than some well known languages （ D） more complex than some well-known languages 37 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） A language is a means of expressing a particular cul
34、ture. （ B） All languages can well express their respective cultures. （ C） American Indian languages are as sophisticated as English. （ D） Some languages are better than other languages. 38 According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in . （ A） grammar （ B） pronunciation （ C） vo

36、should bear in mind some important factors. First of all, although there is usually overlap between the different types of business reports, there are also important differences. For example, do they want: a business proposal, a strategic plan, or what? Knowing exactly what type of final report is e
37、xpected from the outset. Secondly, once you know exactly what the client wants, and the specific type of report they are looking for, you are ready to conduct your initial pre-report research. This stage may be as simple as collecting and reading a few background documents supplied by the client, or
38、 it could involve developing questionnaires and conducting detailed interviews with the appropriate people. A trick I always use when working with MS-Word is to create a skeleton document first. That is, before you actually write any of the text, enter the entire Table of Contents that you have alre
39、ady developed into MS-Word, heading by heading, including sub-headings, Finally, once the skeleton framework is in-place, writing the actual report becomes almost like filling in the blanks.
