New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.
One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.
Currently in China it is assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others. This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000 receive a new organ each year. In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.
The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful. In America, the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60%. Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.
However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas. Some have argued that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken.
No one can deny the greater need for organ donation across the world and especially in China. However, a project that is forced on people, no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good. Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all.

In 1970, 18 percent of the city’s population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had __41__ to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born children of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a(n) __42__ of the city’s population.
Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? (OK, time to drop the “they”. I’m one of them.) The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 __43__ nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America,
three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants got here we __44__ up our sleeves. “If you’re not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine, “you’d better hit the road.”
The mayor of New York once said, “Immigration has __45__ the unique character and driven the economic engine of New York City, and will continue like that.” He believes that immigrants are at the __46__ of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of “unity” that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century since 1970, the United States __47__ about 12.5 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations.

According to the latest research in the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to 41 . Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy’s and girl’s conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’ conversation is less 42 than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to 43 status with their listeners.
These differences continue into adult life, she says. In 44 conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in 45 amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲切感). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power 46 of a relationship.
Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing 47 and to encourage her student to join in.
But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they 48 power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.
Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual tendency in its 49 , otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all. 41—45 GHCAJ 46—49 FBEI

A month ago on September 17, a group of college students gathered in Zuccotti Park, a private plaza near Wall Street in New York, to show their anger to the US government. Now this anger has become a 41 movement. People in New York City and across the US are 42 their solidarity (团结) by organizing similar protests.
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement started as a way of showing frustration (沮丧) about high __43 , corporate greed, social inequality and other issues. “The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99 % that will no longer stand the greed and corruption (腐败) of 1 %,” 44__ excitedly the website of the Seattle demonstrators.
Most protests have been peaceful, though a few have led to arrests. On October 1, for example, the New York group 45 the Brooklyn Bridge road, and more than 700 people were arrested.
The protesters spent most of their time in the plaza, sleeping on airbeds and 46 assemblies to discuss plans. They ate food that people gave them for free and ran their laptops from small generators (发电机).
The movement has gained the support of many unions, including the United Federation of Teachers and the Transport Workers Union Local 100. At a press 47 on October 6, American President Barack Obama 48 his support for the movement, saying that “it expresses the frustrations the American people feel.” “The American people understand that not everybody has been 49 the rules, and Wall Street is an example of that,” he said.

It is more often the 41 of buying skill. Nevertheless, even the smartest consumers are sometimes fooled into thinking they are getting their money’s worth when they are not. At one time or another, almost everyone experiences deception (欺骗)in the market place. The deception may not be 42 . But, whether or not, any kind of deception hurts consumers’ feelings as well as their pocket books. Some kinds of deception even endanger their health and safety as well. Obviously, consumers need protection against the marketing of unsafe goods and false or misleading advertising. Fortunately, there are both public and 43 agencies working to meet the need. Government’s job in free enterprise system is to protect the public 44 . The public is composed entirely of consumers. When it comes to protecting consumers, therefore, government has the most influence. Because most consumer products are sold 45 , the major responsibility for consumer protection is 46 by federal government. That responsibility, however, is shared by many agencies. For example, the US Postal Service works to uncover and stop dishonest schemes operated by mail. The National Highway Safety Bureau is 47 with all aspects of automobile safety. Certain federal agencies, however, have consumer protection as one of their chief 48 . Most federal agencies are known by their initials. FDA stands for the Food and Drug Administration, which probably does more to protect consumers than any other agency.

Reading can be fun, but it can also be time-consuming if your speed is not as fast as you’d like it to be. The 41 reading speed can range from 200 to 350 words per minute, but that speed can vary depending on your reading experience and the 42 you are reading. It’s also important to understand what you are reading—even when you improve your
speed. Here are a few tips to help you become a 43 reader.
Adjust your reading speed as you read different materials. Slow down when the material is new to you or you need to understand the material fully. Speed up if you are already 44 with the material or you don’t have to understand it completely.
Another way to improve your reading speed is to focus on the key words in the sentences. A large amount of reading time is 45 on conjunctions, prepositions, or articles (i.e. a, an, the, but, and, etc.).
Talk about what you’ve read. Some readers find that by talking about their reading with friends or fellow students, they are able to understand the material more 46 . Determine a reading schedule that works for you. You may find that you can’t concentrate on the material for more than an hour (or a half hour). Also 47 a time of the day when you are ready to read.
Don’t re-read right away; it will slow down your reading speed. If you absolutely don’t understand part of the reading selection, go back and 48 the material later.
Find a proper reading place, where interruptions or distractions will not disturb your reading. Practice. Practice. Practice. The best way to improve your reading speed is to practice reading.
Try out some of the above 49 , and then perfect the strategies that work best for you.

NEW YORK (Reuters)-U.S. factories shrugged off weakness in the global economy in November as manufacturing activity rose to its highest level in five months, a fresh sign the 41 economy was accelerating.
Recent data on consumer spending and private-sector job creation has also boosted optimism on the pace of growth.
“The economy seems finally to be 42 real momentum,\" said Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York.
Also pointing to growth, automakers reported U.S. sales rose 13.9 percent in November from a year earlier, Autodata Corp said.
The Institute for Supply Management said on Thursday its index of national factory activity rose to 52.7 from 50.8 the month before, beating analysts' expectations and showing the sector continues to 43 . The added momentum, also apparent in the report's details, reduces the chances the U.S. economy will 44 into a new recession, even with an expected contraction in the euro zone. Compared to a dismal first half of the year, the pace of U.S. growth more than 45 in the third quarter to a 2 percent 46 rate. While that remains subpar, economists believe activity will 47 even stronger in the final three months of the year.
The ISM 48 of new orders rose to its highest level since April, and the export index also improved, although modestly.
\"That should keep some momentum going,\" said Sean Incremona, an economist at 4Cast in New York. \"It is good to see things are not getting worse now.\"
Much of the 49 of the world, however, is getting worse, especially in Europe where policy-makers are fighting a raging sovereign debt crisis.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be.

Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.

None of the other 42 influences, such as temperature, rainfall, food supply, are as unchanging as the 43 increasing length of night during fall. As days grow shorter, and nights grow longer and cooler, biochemical 44 in leaves begin to paint the landscape with an explosion of colors. And Nature puts on one of its most splendid 45 of beauty.
