CountriesLaws
VietnamIf you're in Vietnam without a Vietnamese driver's license,you risk a prison sentence(判決) of up to three years.

Russia
In Moscow,if your car is dirty enough to draw dust art,you will be fined(罰款) about 2,000rubles (about US 55dollars).Worse yet,it's illegal to wash your car by hand in public places-forcing you to take it to one of the few car wash facilities.
ThailandDrivers-male or female-can't drive shirtless whether it's a car,bus,or a tuk-tuk cab.

France
France requires its drivers to carry a portable breathalyzer(便攜式酒精測量儀) at all times when driving a car.The one-time breathalyzer cost around US 5dollars,and if you don't have one,you will be fined US 15dollars.

Cyprus
Raising your hands in the car can get you fined of US 35dollars.The law states a driver can be fined if the person"is in an irregular position inside the car or raises his hand from the steering wheel unnecessarily."


Japan
Politeness isn't just the culture in Japan; it is part of driving laws.Splashing(飛濺) a person by driving through a puddle(水坑) with your car will cost you over US 60dollars.The country is also strict with its DUI (酒駕) laws-riding with or lending your car to a driver who gets caught drinking and driving can lead to a fine costing thousands of dollars.

4.They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配飾).Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.
Professor Julia Twigg,a social policy expert,said,"Women over 75are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s.In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter.It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years-now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to.Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly."
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same-at 5or 6 percent of spending-the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.
The professor said,"Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from,but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them."
Fashion designer Angela Barnard,who runs her own fashion business in London,said older women were much more affected by the celebrity(名流) style than in previous years.
She said,"When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties,they want to follow them.Older women are much more aware of celebrities.There's also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look,and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties.When I started my business a few years ago,my older customers tended to be very rich,but now they are what I would call ordinary women.My own mother is 61and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago."

28.Professor Twigg found that,compared with the 1960s,B.
A.the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
B.the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%
C.people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D.the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
29.What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?B
A.They are often ignored by fashion designers.
B.They are now more easily influenced by stars.
C.They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.
D.They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.
30.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly becauseA.
A.clothes are much cheaper than before
B.TV shows teach them how to change their look
C.they are in much better shape now
D.they get tired of things more quickly
31.Which is the best possible title of the passage?C
A.Unexpected Changes in Fashion
B.The More Fashionable,the Less Expensive
C.Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans
D.Boom of the British Fashion Industry.

11.When it comes to human resources,hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully.Besides the knowledge in their particular fields,employees must always have additional skills-----those of co-operation.In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people,accepting common decisions,solving problems,sharing information and helping one another,teamwork skills are important.
While some jobs may require talent,the ability to work as a team is learned.There are no complicated formulas(規(guī)則); you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities.Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication.Many companies,clubs and organizations use team building activities.Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements.They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team.
Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共識) is encouraged.Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills,talents,knowledge,and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize (利用) those skills where appropriate(合適的).Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.
25.In the author's opinion,which of the following is important for a company to be successful?D
A.Specialized knowledge.
B.Highly-skilled staff.
C.Exceptional talent.
D.Teamwork skills.
