The Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn is notoriously toxic. Since 1869, the mile-long waterway has been a dumping ground for garbage, industrial waste, guns and body parts—its waters once too dirty to search. Today you can still stand on a bridge over the canal and see underwear floating on the water. The odor, once almost unbearable, has softened into an occasional summerstink, thanks to a flushing tunnel installed 10 years ago.A growing number of artists and young people have moved into the industrial lofts and row houses nearby. Some of the most oblivious have been spotted on the canal in canoes, their paddles stirring 140 years worth of detritus (small pieces of rubbish) from leather factories, chemical plants and more. Now, these Gowanus pioneers want somebody to finally detoxify their hazardous neighborhood. They imagine it as Brooklyn"s little Venice, although a bit cleaner. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering naming the Gowanus an official Superfund site. That would bring in a slow but steady federal cleanup with money and the legal influence to force polluters to help pay. The present Mayor of the New York City also wants a cleaner Gowanus, but he wants to do it his way. At a community board meeting Tuesday night, about 200 people listened as the mayor"s experts argued against a Superfund listing. It was a hard crowd to move. Many wore a button that said it all: "Gowanus Canal: Superfund Me." The mayor and his team are particularly worried about how a Superfund site would affect the real estate market, especially a few possibilities for larger developments in the area. Instead of being "stigmatized" by the Superfund label, as they put it, they favor the "Superfund Alternative" plan. Although there are few details at this point, that effort would be run by the city and overseen by the EPA Every year, the city would rush to collect funds from the Corps of Engineers and other agencies to help clean up the area to the EPA"s satisfaction. The city could only plead with polluters to help pay. With so many pollutants and so many polluters, this looks like a job for Superfund. Brooklyn can handle the label. Residents already enjoy boasting about their survival or joking about living near the canal"s dark humors. Why else have a popular bar called the Gowanus Yacht Club They just want the cleanup done and done right. The bar-name "Gowanus Yacht Club" expresses

How stupid does one need to be to get a job reading the television news Is it actually beneficial for TV newsreaders to have, instead of a brain, a plate of lemon jelly Last week the debate was raging once again about the controversial and important point as to whether the newsreaders write their own copy, read someone else"s or simply make it up as they go along. Angela Rippon reckonedthat she had never heard of a newsreader writing stuff, but her modern counterpart, the beautiful Sophie Raworth, claims that they do the writing and adds that she has a postgraduate degree in journalism. This is the core of the issue: what on earth is there to learn about journalism at postgraduate level The point and purpose of our lowly, occasionally useful, trade could be scribbled on the back of a postage stamp and would easily be comprehended by a 14-year-old boy with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Who has decided that it must be dignified with a doctoral thesis Nor is reading the news even what one might call "journalism". It is an even simpler business called "reading". All that the BBC demands of its female newsreaders is an ability to read in an impartial way words like "Israel has murdered more Lebanese children again today" from the teleprompter without belching or lisping. It helps if they have the eminently presentable manner of a girl guide leader from Esher. They are forbidden to express an opinion. They are not required to go undercover, analyze the news or add witty asides. They are required to be that which they are known as in the trade—"a gob on a stick".A penetrating intelligence is not merely unnecessary, it is counterproductive. Newsreaders who are too intelligent soon stop being newsreaders, much as John Humphrys did, stifled by the commonplace of their duties. Or they give the game away by doing what that German newsreader did and end the programme, shaking their heads sadly, muttering, "it"s all lies, all lies". Which is not to say BBC newsreaders are bad at their jobs: quite the reverse. But we should not confuse competence with intelligence. Newsreaders believe that because they are reading out serious stuff and everybody is listening to them, they must therefore be creatures possessed of a high IQ. They are confusing the message with the medium. The author cites the example of BBC in Paragraph 3 to show that _____.
按照波特的价值链理论，企业的下列各项活动中，属于辅助活动的有______。
甲公司是从事石油化工及投资的大型企业。甲公司下属子公司乙公司于2007年在中国香港地区成功发行股票并上市。2010年9月乙公司购入总部位于英国的丙公司4.2%的股份。 经过与丙公司的接触，乙公司认为，全面收购丙公司符合其长远发展目标。丙公司在尼日利亚的全资子公司是其营业收入和净利润的主要来源，经营石油开采、管道运输、加工、销售等石油化工相关的业务，拥有的油气储量占尼日利亚已探明油气储量的1/5。丙公司于2009年年初在伊拉克以15亿英镑的价格购买了新的油田，目前正在进行深入勘探。对于丙公司购买的伊拉克油田，很多股东对该油田储量的预测并不乐观，导致丙公司的股票价格自2009年开始一直低于每股15英镑。 2011年4月7日，乙公司认为收购丙公司的时机已经成熟，因而向丙公司的股东发出收购要约，拟以每股18英镑的价格收购丙公司其他股东持有的全部股份，该收购价格比报价前20个交易日丙公司股票的平均收盘价格高出25%。在乙公司发布要约收购丙公司消息的当天，丙公司股票价格大幅上涨，报收于每股19英镑。并且，英国政府相关监管部门表示，将密切关注乙公司收购丙公司事宜。 要求： 简要分析乙公司做出收购丙公司的决策时应当特别考虑的政治环境因素。
