New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It"s now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind". He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company"s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn"t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country"s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.

Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivan"s Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina"s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn"t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo"s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan"s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivan"s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its red wood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern (灯笼)" at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house"s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2. 7 meters off the ground on timber pilings—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house"s ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn"t look like it"s standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.

Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的)， has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox"s smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain. (324 words) What is special about fox hunting in Britain
某城市地下工程，业主与施工单位参照FIDIC合同条件签订了施工合同，不含税的合同总价为8600万元，其中：现场管理费率15%，企业管理费率8%，利润率5%，合同工期730天。为保证施工安全，合同中规定施工单位应安装满足最小排水能力1.5t/min的排水设施，并安装1.5t/min的备用排水设施，两套设施合计15900元。合同中还规定，施工中如遇业主原因造成工程停工或窝工，业主对施工单位自有机械按台班单价的60%给予补偿，对施工单位租赁机械按租赁费给予补偿(不包括运转费用)。 该工程施工过程中发生以下三项事件： 事件一：施工过程中业主通知施工单位某分项工程(非关键工作)需进行设计变更，由此造成施工单位的机械设备窝工12天。 事件二：施工过程中遇到了非季节性大暴雨天气，由于地下断层相互贯通及地下水位不断上升等不利条件，原有排水设施满足不了排水要求，施工区域涌水量逐渐增加，使施工单位被迫停工，并造成施工设备被淹没。为保证施工安全和施工进度，业主指令施工单位增加购买排水设施，尽快恢复施工。施工单位按业主要求购买并安装了三套1.5t/min的排水设施，恢复了施工。 事件三：施工中发现地下文物，处理地下文物工作造成工期拖延40天。 就以上三项事件，施工单位按合同规定的索赔程序向业主提出索赔。 事件一：由于业主修改工程设计造成施工单位机械设备窝工费用索赔见下表。 费用索赔项目机械台班单价(元/台班)时间(天)金额(元)9m3空压机31012372025t履带吊车(租赁)15001218000塔吊10001212000混凝土泵车(租赁)600127200合计 40920 现场管理费：40920×15%=6138(元) 企业管理费：(40920+6138)×8%=3764.64(元) 利润：(40920+6138+3764.64)×5%=2541.13(元) 合计：53363.77(元) 事件二：由于非季节性大暴雨天气费用索赔： ①备用排水设施及额外增加排水设施费：15900/2×3=23850(元)。 ②被地下涌水淹没的机械设备损失费16000元。 ③额外排水工作的劳务费8650元。 合计：48500元。 事件三：由于处理地下文物，延长工期40天。 索赔现场管理费增加额： 现场管理费8600×15%=1290(万元)，每天1290×10000/730=17671.23(元/天)。 40天合计：17671.23×40=706849.20(元)。 问题： 造价工程师审核施工单位机械设备窝工费用索赔时，核定施工单位提供的机械台班单价属实，机械台班单价中运转费用分别为：9m3空压机为93元/台班，25t履带吊车为300元/台班，塔吊为190元/台班，混凝土泵车为140元/台班，造价工程师核定的索赔费用应是多少
某房屋建筑工程项目，建设单位与施工单位按照《建设工程施工合同(示范)文本》签订了施工承包合同。施工合同中规定： (1)设备由建设单位采购，施工单位安装； (2)建设单位原因导致的施工单位人员窝工，按18元/工日补偿，建设单位原因导致的施工单位设备闲置，按下表中所列标准补偿： 设备闲置补偿标准表机械名称台班单价(元/台班)补偿标准大型起重机1060台班单价的60%自卸汽车(5t)318台班单价的40%自卸汽车(8t)458台班单价的50% (3)施工过程中发生的设计变更，其价款按照《建筑安装工程费用项目组成》(建标〔2013〕44号)的规定计价。以人工、材料、机械费用的合价为计算基础，综合费率按25%考虑。 该工程在施工过程中发生以下事件： 事件1：施工单位在土方工程填筑时，发现取土区的土壤含水量过大，必须经过晾晒后才能填筑，增加费用30000元，工期延误3天。 事件2：基坑开挖深度为3m，施工组织设计中考虑的放坡系数为0.3(已经监理工程师批准)。施工单位为避免坑壁塌方，开挖时加大了放坡系数，使土方开挖量增加，导致费用超支10000元，工期延误3天。 事件3：施工单位在主体钢结构吊装安装阶段，发现钢筋混凝土结构上缺少相应的预埋件，经查实是由于土建施工图纸遗漏该预埋件的错误所致。返工处理后，增加费用20000元，工期延误8天。 事件4：建设单位采购的设备没有按计划时间到场，施工受到影响，施工单位一台大型起重机、两台自卸汽车(载重5t、8t各一台)闲置5天，工人窝工86工日，工期延误5天。 事件5：某分项工程由于建设单位提出工程使用功能的调整，须进行设计变更。设计变更后，经确认的人工费增加4000元，材料费增加8000元，机械费增加5000元，措施费增加1000元。 上述事件发生后，施工单位及时向建设单位造价工程师提出索赔要求。 问题： 分析以上各事件中造价工程师是否应该批准施工单位的索赔要求。为什么
