Cameron thought of himself as merely organized.He certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything ,he did just enough to get it right.Exactly right, of course as he was fond of telling his staff, “if it’s not exactly right, it’s wrong”.Occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which Cameron had patiently pointed out.And doing the corrections exactly right of course.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents, the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use annoying 2-or 3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps” will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation(通货膨胀), competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and the savings from not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. “It’s not your grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp.”
Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.
Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich—the volume printed will be too large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he says, laughing.
The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been announced yet for the design of the stamps.
1. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is .
A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or 3-cent stamps
B. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailing
C. to respond to the complaints about rising postal rates
D. to compete with online bill paying
2. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr Saunders means that forever stamps .
A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildren
B. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s hands
C. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers
D. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.
B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.
C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.
D. 2-or 3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.
4. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.
B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.
C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.
D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Leaders of the World Health Organization say they are concerned about the air quality and
health efiects on citizens during a recent outbreak of heavy pollution in Beijing.Still,they said they
were unsure of the exact amount the air pollution takes on any person’s body,casting doubts on
local reports tying the area’s dirty air to particular cases of illness.
Speaking at a briefing(情况介绍会)on Tuesday,the WHO’s Western Pacific regional director,
Shin Young—Soo,cited(列举)reports about poor air quality causing lung cancer in recent weeks.
“The WHO is skeptical of the information,”she said.“We’re cautious of whether the illness is related
to air po11ution. We know it has an impact on health,but we don’t know how much.”
The officials didn’t cite particular reports.The comments follow a number of articles since late
last year connecting some cases of diseases like lung cancer with pollution,.including one in
November regarding an 8-year-old girl.
The health impact of Beijing’s gray skies has been on the minds of many over the past week。Local
authorities on Tuesday preserved an orange alert(警报)一the city’s second highest pollution-warning
level—and again warned people to stay indoors.Experts widely agree that small particulates(颗粒)
known as PM2.5 carry significant short-and long-term health risks,particularly with children.Other
studies find a certain link between pollution and shorter life spans。
Chinese state media have noted a rise in cancer levels in Beijing,without specifying(具体说明)
whether the new cases are the main result of pollution,smoking,other sources or some combination.
Bernhard Schwartlander,the organization’s China chief,said he is concerned and has been in
contact with national authorities.“There is no easy solution,”Dr. Schwartlainder said,adding that
solving the problem requires managing industry and the economy.WHO leaders advised citizens.to
stay indoors and limit exposure to the harmful particulates.When asked if wearing a face mask has
any proven efficacy in preventing health effects of air pollution,Dr. Schwartlainder said,“Whatever
you do,it’s better than nothing.”
