4、ference room or take it outside.“ Approaching the offender How you deal with someone who overshares depends on your personality and your relationship, according to New York-based career adviser and author Vicky Oliver. “If you get along with her well, you can just pass by her office one day when she

5、 s on the phone gabbing, knock on the wall, and when you catch her eye, put your index finger up to your mouth to indicate that you can hear her.“ If this option feels too rude, you may do better off mentioning it discreetly to your supervisor, suggested Oliver.

6、 think it would be OK if I mentioned to Cindy that I can often hear her personal conversations? If I can, chances are others can, too.“ See what your supervisor suggests. “Tread lightly here and try to be constructive when you do talk to her,“ Oliver advised. Benefit of the doubt Be sensitive. Lack

7、of manners isnt always the reason behind the volume. Sometimes, a loud voice can be a sign of a hearing problem, according to Klaus. “They may not be able to hear themselves and have never been told before that there is a problem.“ Even if there is a medical basis for the condition, a conversation t

8、hat isnt appropriate for the office needs to be taken outside or into a conference room, Klaus said.

13、s in her local park, she logs on to Twitter and complains directly to the citys mayor. In an age of incessant digital chat and in a city of 22 million this might seem futile. But the mayor, who has more than 600,000 Twitter followers, replies to her complaint within hours. He orders the citys public

14、 works department to take action. Several weeks later, he posts photos of new lights being installed in the park and thanks the woman for bringing the problem to his attention. In fact, the mayor s Twitter feed reads like a chronicle of life in a metropolis. There are complaints and announcements ab

15、out garbage collection, crime, traffic lights, construction delays etc. At first glance, it looks like a strange mix of unedited rants by aggravated citizens and upbeat public relations by an ambitious mayor. But a sustained look shows that a surprising number of these virtual conversations follow a

16、 cycle citizen complains, mayor listens, city solves the problem that until recently would have seemed impossible for an overpopulated and underfinanced metropolis in the developing world. In Latin America, Mexico City is not unique. Use of social media is growing at a breathtaking pace across the r

17、egion. When Facebook passed the 1 billion user mark in October, few people noticed that 19 percent of those users live in Latin America(which only accounts for 8 percent of the worlds population). The governments of virtually all large Latin American cities now use social media to engage with citize

18、ns, and smaller cities are quickly following suit. The Inter-American Development Bank recently found that social media is used by governments in 70 percent of the regions 140 “emerging cities“(those having 100,000 to 2 million residents and above-average economic growth rates). Although the press h

19、as focused on Latin American presidents who have embraced social media as a potent new channel for old-fashioned political communications, something very different is happening at the municipal level. Mayors seem to be betting that by micromanaging urban issues via Twitter or Facebook, they will giv

20、e voters concrete evidence of their effectiveness in office. This is a risky tactic, of course. Many local governments that find it easy to virtually “engage“ with constituents may not have the budgets, the organization, or the staff to actually solve the problems that generate complaints. The resul

21、t, in that case, could be a voter backlash enlarged, ironically, over the same social media channels. I predict that social media will have a highly disruptive but largely positive effect in this context. These technologies will give new vitality to the ancient ideals of participation and accountabi

22、lity. 6 Why the author thinks the housewife s complaints on Twitter is futile? ( A) Because the social media is not a formal channel to raise problems. ( B) Because the problem is of no big deal. ( C) Because no one would notice it in a city of 22 million people. With incessant digital chatter. ( D)

23、 Because the authorities will not check the complaints on Twitter. 7 Which of the following cannot be inferred from paragraph 3? ( A) Social media is the only way through which people can send their complaints to the mayor. ( B) The mayor have solved a lot of problems posted on the Twitter. ( C) Thi

24、s phenomenon is usually very rare in a big developing city. ( D) Twitter is very popular in this city. 8 How many emerging cities governments have used social media? ( A) 96 ( B) 97 ( C) 98 ( D) 99 9 Why managing urban issues via social media is a risky tactic? ( A) Because it does not help to solve

25、 problems. ( B) Because if the complaints are not solved it will be enlarged. ( C) Because the mayor cannot solve so many problems on the social media. ( D) Because it may promote people make more and more complaints. 10 Whats the authors attitude towards social media? ( A) Totally support it. ( B)

26、Strongly oppose it. ( C) Not clear. ( D) Mostly support it. 10 Huawei has made its first equity investment in a British technology company as the Chinese networking and telecommunications group looks to grow its operations in the UK while facing hostility in other markets around the world. The Chine

27、se company is among a group of corporate investors that includes Bosch, the German industrial supplier, and Xilinx, an American technology maker, which has taken a “strategic“ stake in XMOS, a Bristol-based semiconductor company. The trio has joined in a $26m funding round in the chip designer. Peop

28、le familiar with the deal said the investment values XMOS at over $100m. The company declined to comment. One person familiar with the Chinese group said it has created a team dedicated to seeking similar investment opportunities with the aim of making two such deals a year in Europe. Huawei s expan

29、sion plans have often been met with suspicion around the world. In October 2012, a US congressional report branded Huawei and ZTE, its smaller Chinese peer, a threat to national security. Huawei has struggled to gain a greater foothold in some countries because of concerns over the military backgrou

30、nd of its founder, Ren Zhengfei, a former People s Liberation Army officer. Authorities in India have voiced concerns while it has been blocked from bidding on some contracts in Germany and Australia.

31、warmer welcome. In 2012, David Cameron, prime minister, said that Huaweis commitment to invest 1.3bn into its operations in the country proved that the UK is “open for business“. Huawei has previously bought two European companies CIP Technologies in the UK in 2012 and Belgiums Caliopa in 2013 thoug

32、h financial terms for those deals were not released. This year, the company said it will invest 10m in UK university research and has plans to open a research and development centre in Bristol. XMOS, a semiconductor designer founded in 2005, has particular expertise in high-performance chips used fo

33、r products in the “internet of things“, such as personal electronics and home appliances which are embedded with sensors able to connect to the internet. Nigel Toon, XMOS chief executive, said that the new investment would allow it to establish strong ties with companies like Huawei and Bosch, group

34、s that are also likely to be large customers in the future. “This is a massive opportunity to have close contact with these companies and build a big business,“ said Mr Toon. Steven Chu, chief strategy officer and vice-president at Huawei s silicon division, said: “We have a very high regard for the

35、 team at XMOS and will be working closely with diem on a number of exciting new projects.“ 11 What does the first paragraph imply? ( A) The market of Huawei is not wide.

38、nnect to the internet. ( C) The air-conditioner with sensors is able to connect to the internet.

39、g business with large companies. ( B) It can have close contact with Chinese government. ( C) It may be good for stabilizing British national defense. ( D) It means an addition of powerful force to confront with Britain. 15 The best title of the passage may be_. ( A) Huawei Cooperates with XMOS ( B)

40、 Huawei Backs British tech company XMOS ( C) Huawei is to Expand its Market ( D) Huawei Invests in Britain 15 LG Display, the world s second-biggest flat-panel display maker, is betting big on large-scale OLED television panels, brushing aside industry scepticism about the chances of the technology

41、displacing mainstream liquid crystal display. OLED, or organic light-emitting diode, panels use ultra-thin, lighter technology to produce higher picture quality and lower power consumption than LCD screens. They feature on Samsung Electronics Galaxy smartphones and tablets. LG aims to steal a march

42、in the potentially lucrative market on crosstown South Korean rival and world leader Samsung Display, which is instead focusing on improving LCD panels for ultra high-definition TVs. The diverging strategies reflect the mixed views about the future of OLED technology, long touted by industry watcher

43、s as a potential game-changer for the $94bn global TV industry but which remains clouded by doubts about its commercial value because of high production costs and technological challenges. Behind LG s aggressive investment to expand OLED production capacity lies the belief that demand for OLED TVs w

44、ill take off once they are more affordable. “LCD has no future. The Chinese can make even ultra high-definition TVs at lower costs,“ says Oh Chang-ho, senior vice-president of LGs OLED TV development division. “We cannot win this price war. For survival, we have to make products that they cannot mak

45、e.“ Sony launched the world s first commercial OLED TV in 2007 but the Japanese company was surpassed by Korean rivals. However, mass producing large OLED TVs is difficult and more costly. Samsung and LG rolled out 5 5-inch full-HD(high definition)curved OLED TVs last year but the hefty price tag ro

46、ughly $15,000deterred consumers. LG reckons it is finally in a position to cut costs, thanks to breakthroughs to boost production efficiency and resolve colour distortions. It plans to introduce curved ultra high-definition OLED TVs as large as 77 inches this year. The company is convinced OLED can

47、breathe new life into consumer demand because the technology, best suited for flexible display, allows TVs to be made in all sorts of shapes. OLED panels are easier to bend than LCDs because they work without a backlight. LG has recently developed an 18-inch Tollable OLED panel as well as the same-s

48、ize transparent OLED panel and is confident that it can develop an Ultra HD flexible and transparent OLED panel of more than 60 inches by 2017. But LG is in the minority with its confidence in the budding technology. Its rivals remain sidelined by concerns that OLED may go the way of plasma once pro

49、mising technology that has been expensive to develop and ultimately not widely adopted. Samsung Display has opted to push the technological boundaries of LCD panels with high-margin ultra high-definition TVs capable of displaying four times the resolution of existing HD TVs. 16 Compared with LCD screens, OLED has following advantages except_. ( A) Panels of OLED use ultra-thin and lighter technology ( B) Panels of OLED produce higher picture quality ( C) The production of OLED costs more than LCD ( D) OLED has lower power co
