Paris 1 Paris, the capital and the largest city of the country, is in north central France. The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nation’s population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French governments have historically favored the city as the site for all decision making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities. 2 Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World War II more and more immigrants arrived. 3 The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly been one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louver, opened as a museum in 1793 ,is one of the largest museums in the world. 4 In the late 1980s about 4. l million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world. 5 Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumer goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population, and modern, high - technology industries also have become numerous since World War II. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.A. History of the cityB. Industries of the cityC. Population grownD. EducationE. Cultural centerF.

Too Dangerous for College On Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that beer maker Anheuser - Busch has scaled back a promotion called" Fan Cans" in which the company targeted college students by painting cans of Bud Light in school colors. (46) In response, the company agreed to stop selling the special - edition cans where colleges objected. A number of colleges had complained about the campaign, on the grounds that, among other things, it sends the wrong message about drinking. "We think it’s an ill - conceived and inappropriate campaign that runs counter to our collective efforts to combat underage drinking. "a spokesman for Boston College told the Associated Press. On its face, restricting the ability of beer makers to target college students directly seems like a fine idea. After all, the logic seems to go, these people are old enough to be away from home, but not quite old enough to make responsible decisions. (47) If we’re going to treat college kids like kids, then beer isn’t the only product that ought to have its marketing wings clipped by those who know what’s best. Actually there is a list of products that get marketed to college students every day all across the country, such as cigarettes. Last year, the American Lung Association reported that after 1998, when the tobacco industry signed an agreement with 46 states that restricted tobacco advertising, the industry began targeting college students by spending more money on promotions in bars and nightclubs where those students spendtime. (48) Moreover, those promotions seem to work. (49) Should society be concerned about Big Tobacco targeting college kids You bet: according to the AIA, fully half of occasional college smokers were still smoking four years later. Smoking is arguably as dangerous to students’ well - being as alcohol. (50) If we’re going to be paternalistic(家长式作风的) ,let’s at least be consistent.A. But if college students aren’t quick -witted(机敏的) enough to see past colored beer cans, call we really trust them to navigate the slick(狡猾的)marketing campaigns of other dangerous productsB. Yet all of them are marketed at college students.C. Anheuser- Busch got a push from the Federal Trade Commission, which was "concerned that cans will be marketed to fans under the legal age of 21. "D. It is more dangerous for college students nowadays than previous years.E. According to a 2004 paper by researchers at Harvard, students who were exposed to those promotions were more likely to smoke than those who didn’t.F. In a 2000-2001 survey, students at 115 of the 119 schools studied said they saw tobacco promotions at a bar or nightclu

A presentation has two important components: what you say and (51) you deliver it. The term delivery covers a wide (52) of featares of speaking and eye contact is one of them. The appropriate use of eye contact (53) from one culture to another. In some cultures, women are (54) to lower their eyes in most communication (55) ; in others, younger people must keep their eyes lowered when addressing older people. (56) in the United States, (57) you are addressing an individual, a small group of people, or a larger audience, you are expected to look at them. You do not have to stare (58) and continuously; (59) , it is appropriate when speaking to one person to (60) occasionally. In a small group you should look around at the different members of the group. (61) When addressing a larger audience, you should try to make eye contact with different people around the room. It is important to look at the (62) . Audience, not just the people in the center of the room, (63) you will probably have to turn your head and/or your body in order to make proper eye contact with people (64) at the sides of the room. If you look at the ceiling, you will give the impression that you are not interested in your audience. A speaker establishes friendly relationship with the audience mainly (65) eye contact, and good relationship is essential to the success of any speech.
1. Male and Female Pilots Cause Accidents Differently Male pilots flying general aviating(private) aircraft in the United States are more likely to crash due to inattention or flawed decision - making, while female pilots are more likely to crash from mishandling the aircraft. These are the results of a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. The study identifies the differences between male and female pilots in terms of circumstances of the crash and the type of pilots error involved. "Crashes of general aviation aircraft account for 85 percent of all aviation deaths in the United States. The crash rate for male pilots, as for motor vehicle drivers, exceeds that of crashes of female pilots," explains Susan P. Baker. MPH, professor of health policy and management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Because pilot youth and inexperience are established contributors to aviation crashes, we focused on only mature pilots, to determine the gender differences in the reasons for the crash. " The researchers extracted data for this study from a large research project on pilot aging and flight safety. The data were gathered from general aviation crashes of airplanes and helicopters between 1983 and 1997, involving 144 female pilots and 267 reale pilots aged 40 -63. Female pilots were matched with male pilots in a 1 : 2 ratio, by age, classes of medical and pilot certificates, state or area of crash, and year of crash. Then the circumstances of the crashes and the pilot error involved were categorized and coded without knowledge of pilot gender. The researchers found that loss of control on landing or takeoff was the most common circumstance for both sexes, leading to 59 percent of female pilots’ crashes and 36 percent of males. Experiencing mechanical failure, running out of fuel, and landing the plane with the landing gear up were among the factors more likely with males ,while stalling(失速) was more likely with females. The majority of the crashes - 95 percent for females and 88 percent for males - involved at least one type of pilot error. Mishandling aircraft kinetics was the most common error for both sexes, but was more common among females( accounting for 81 percent of the crashes)than males (accounting for 48 percent). Males, however, appeared more likely to be guilty of poor decision - making, risk - taking, and inattentiveness, examples of which include misjudging weather and visibility or flying an aircraft with a known defect. Females, though more likely to mishandle or lose control of the aircraft, were generally more careful than their male counterparts. Loss of control on landing or takeoff and stalling is the most common error of crash with female pilots.
