Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners,city squares and in suburban supermarkets.In these freeforall libraries,people can grab whatever they want to read,and leave behind anything they want for others.There’s no need to register,no due date,and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read.It is open for everybody,”
Michael
Aubermann,one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.
The western city’s latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm.It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann’s group,the Cologne Citizen’s Foundation,has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well,”
said Aubermann.The public bookshelves,which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups,have appeared independently of each other in many cities,suburbs and villages.Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover,with all the old titles replaced by new ones.
Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition,”
said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere,it helps our business,too.”
So far,the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems.Aubermann said,“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”
At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood,the lower shelves are reserved for children’s literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this ‘reading culture on the street’—from old readers to kids to immigrants,” Aubermann said.
While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods,Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods,where citizens often don’t have as much access to literature.
语篇解读 在德国的城市街角、广场和郊区超市,一排排公共书架出现在人们的视野中。你可以随意取阅或捐赠图书。这项免费换书活动得到了人们的支持。

A.People can take the books and leave their books at will.
B.People can’t borrow books unless they donate books.
C.People can borrow whatever they like after registering.
D.People have to return the books according to the required time.

答案 C
Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.
"In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective responsibility. While in the West, it's more about individual survival," said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).
In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.
Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.
Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals(对手) from abroad.
1. The underlined word "prospect" in the first paragraph most probably means _________.
A. future
B. scene
C. weather
D. place
2. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _________.
A. it's helpful to the economy recovery
B. it can form a team working harder and more loyally
C. it will keep the experienced and skilled workers
D. it costs the company less money to survive
3. According to Michael Benoliel, the Confucian mindset focuses on _________.
A. human rights
B. personal profits
C. sharing responsibility
D. individual survival
4. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with today
B. the different labor solutions of Asian and Western in global recession
C. the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturn
D. the cultural differences between Eastern and Western world at present

四、七选五
【2016南昌市第一次模拟测试卷】
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36
Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37
This h8s now almost entirely disappeared-and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible.
38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
39
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.
40
After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time.
B. Leaving at the Right Time.
C. People leave with various excuses.
D. It enabled people
to get on well、with each other.
E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.
F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.
G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.
参考答案、36. D
37. F
38. E
39. B
