Oil prices dropped more than 7% after Western nations released the biggest amount of oil from their emergency strategic stocks since 1991，in a warning shot aimed at OPEC, the oil producers' cartel．

The International Energy Agency （IEA） agreed to release 60 million barrels of oil in the coming month to offset the daily production loss of 1．5 million barrels of high quality oil from Libya （利比亞）．

The US led the release, providing 50% of the oil, with Japan, Germany, France, Spain and Italy providing most of the rest．The IEA said that it was in consultations（磋商）with China, the world's second-largest oil consumer but declined to say whether Beijing would join the effort．

Brent oil prices dropped 7．4% to＄105. 72 after the news was released, before settling at $106．12 in late afternoon trade in London on June 23.

The move is only the third time in the history of the IEA, established in 1974 as a counterbalance to OPEC after the Arab oil crisis: Western governments are concerned about the impact of high oil prices on the economic recovery．

"Greater tightness in the oil market threatens the fragile global economic recovery," the IEA warned．

Steven Chu, US a energy secretary, said "we are taking this action in response to the ongoing loss of oil due to supply decrease in Libya and other countries and their impact on the global economic recovery．"

"As we move forward, we will continue to monitor the situation and stand ready to take additional steps if necessary．" The US special oil reserve is currently at a record high level of 727million barrels．

Earlier this month, OPEC members failed to agree an official increase in production quotas despite a concerted effort by Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest producer and traditionally seen as the OPEC leader, to boost output．Iran opposed the increase．Iran's OPEC governor argued that there was no evidence of a supply shortage．

The IEA said in May that it would use all tools at its disposal to increase supply unless the cartel raised production．

72．The underlined word "offset” in the 2nd paragraph probably means "_____”·

    A．come up               B．knock off            C．make up for        D．set off

73．How many barrels of oil did the USA agree to provide from its emergency strategic stocks in the coming month?

    A．60, 000,000          B．45, 000,000          C．30, 000, 000         D．15, 000,000

74．Which of the following countries is against raising oil production?

       A．China．               B．Iran．           C．Libya．             D．Saudi Arabia．

75．What is the main purpose of the IEA's plan of releasing 60 million barrels of oil in the coming month?

    A．To refresh the stock's                                B．To put pressure on Libya government．

    C．To support OPEC．                               D．To ensure global economic recovery．

It takes less than six seconds to leave a first impression．It is said that we ought not to judge a book by its cover, but come on, isn't it the color, the design, the layout, and the title that draws us to pick up a book we've never heard of before? Notice what your assumptions are about a person when you are first introduced to her or him．

Something that most of us don't take notice is how we stand or walk．Let's say you are going for a job interview．Within seconds you have already said a lot about yourself by the way you walk．The majority of us walk around every day without paying any attention to what we are saying even though we are from the clothes you wear not saying a word．There is a lot that can be said about body language to the gestures you make.

I took notice of this topic recently as I recalled something about changing my posture to improve my level of confidence. I was about to venture，on a new project, which would take me out of my comfort zone．My inside gremlins（愛(ài)搗亂的小精靈）were having a field day with me uttering all kinds of reasons why I couldn't do a good job with this new opportunity. I put my shoulders back, held my head high, and took a walk．Soon thereafter, I felt so much better. I approached the project with new possibility．Wow, what a difference！Try it!

The ability to capture your audience when you walk into a room is sure to start you off on the right foot when going on an interview．Non-verbal （非語(yǔ)言的）signals have five times the impact of verbal signals．So you can count on losing your audience when you walk in with head down, dragging your feet regardless how much you try to change it．

    B．non-verbal signals are not so easy to catch

    C．we mainly rely on verbal signals during an interview

    D．We shouldn't judge a person by his non-verbal signals

father was Alfred Lee Loomis, a wealthy New York City businessman.

In 1940, Henry Loomis  dropped out of Harvard University

to join the United States Navy. He was able to put to good use his

knowledge of radar technology that he had learned about because

of his father’s work. After graduating at the top in his naval training

class, Henry Loomis became a teacher at the Navy's radar training

school in Hawaii．By the end of World War Two, Henry Loomis had received many honors for his service, including a Bronze Star and an Air Medal．He left the Navy in 1946 to begin graduate studies．

The result of this effort was Special English. The first Voice of America broadcast in Special English took place on October 19th, 1959．Critics at the time said the Special English method of broadcasting at a slower rate with a limited vocabulary would never work．American embassies demanded that the program be cancelled．But Mr．Loomis supported the program．

Soon, VOA began to receive hundreds of letters from listeners praising the program．Special English programs became some of the most popular on VOA．We are pleased to say that our programs still are．
