下面文章中有5处(第61～65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。A. Control of RespirationB. Basic tips for preserving cut flowersC. Role of RespirationD. Most Important Aspect of Flower CareE. Need for Clean WaterF. Ways of Stopping Respiration1. __________????????????? While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. The key to keeping fresh cut flowers for a week or more without floral preservatives (which contain biocides that kill bacteria and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water.2.__________????????????? An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.3.__________????????????? Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination (授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide, called respiration (呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies.4. __________????????????? How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.5. __________????????????? Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach (at 4% solution) be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day.

Every people（民族）uses its own special（特殊的）words to show its ideas and
feelings. Some expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular
for just a short time. One such American expression is“Where’s the beef?”It is
used when something is not as good as it is said to be In the early 1980s
“Where’s the beef?”was one of the most popular expressions in the United
States. It seemed as if everyone was using it at the time.
Beef, of course,is the meat form a cow, and
no food is more popular in America than a hamburger（汉堡包）made from beef. In the

hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurants“McDonald’ s”.Ray Kroc

Other business people watched his success.
Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company（公司）called“Wendy’s”said its
hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else’s .The
Wendy’s Company began to use the expression“Where’s the beef?”to make people
know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television
advertisement（广告）showed
three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very
big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would
not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Where’s the beef?”she
shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was
a success .As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression“Where’s
the beef?”

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the
interviewer, you’re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job
well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can’t be found on
a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee,
you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.
Still, interviewers need to be told something: “What is your biggest weakness?”
is not a good question. It just isn’t.
Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way
to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that
are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively.
Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?
Honesty, with a twist(新手法)
“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?’ is a classic, but
not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski,
founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.
“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is
to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements.’”
“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit
the employer.”
“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an
interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong,
that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”
This answer leads with a strength that employers want —initiative —and
still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.
Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works
because it proves you’re being honest.
Honesty, with progress
When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have
attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a
perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without
damaging the applicant’s image.” Davenport explains.
“A better response might be, ‘I’ve had some challenges with work-life balance
in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn’t good for me, my
family or my employer. I’ve taken the time to learn better time and project
management, and I’m also committed to my overall wellness.’”
The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you’ve thought
beyond the answer. You’ve actually changed your behavior to address the
situation, even if you haven’t completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes
However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job
Security Resource Guide,” recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on
the other side of the desk.
“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be
your motivation for asking certain questions? Who would you be trying to weed
out? If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what
they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for
the position you seek.”
Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your
honest answer is, you’ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky
question.

Throughout history, people have been
interested in knowing how languages first began, but no one knows exactly where
or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the languages
of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about
3,000 languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most
speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of
people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one
hundred speakers.
There are
several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the
languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original
(最初的) language of
this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages
of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 yeas ago.
Languages are
always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500
years ago. In time some even died out completely. About 1,000 years ago,
English was a little-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of
Europe.
If a language has a large number of speakers or if
it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different
areas. That is, the language may have several dialects.
Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has
been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The
differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of
Chinese from some parts of China can’t understand speakers from other parts.

&&&&& A. most people in the world speak
Chinese

Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network.
We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people
who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare
arena(福利院) in
Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So
Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
Who do we help?
The welfare agencies we help do
not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet
it. They can’t get the job done without
back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is
full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery(文具) to medical provision,
cupboards to dinning sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to
match it with the resource we have in stock.
How do we operate?
Crossroads itself also operates
on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated. Similarly,
rather than raising funds for freight(货运)，we ask transport
companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a
salary. Even our full-time staff works on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and
services:
·Factories ·Manufacturers
·Hospitals ·Hotels&
·Householders
·Offices& ·Other Charities ·Transport Companies ·Educational
Institutions
One resource that we are always
in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is
never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to
help sort and prepare them for shipping.
What can I do?
We are always in need of people. We
have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in
some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number
your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate them.
·Clothing categorization ·Sewing ·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling
·Driving ·Book categorization ·Household goods

What are the differences between Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional.
By . Submitted on Monday, January 21, 2008
About the author: Wallace Gu, a Chinese freelance translator, with over 10 years intensive experience in this industry.
This article is basically a Comparison between Simplified Chinese and the Traditional Chinese in the context of English to Chinese translation, and it’s only intended to provide some very basic information to people who are looking for Chinese translators but do not quite know much about the differences of the two variations. For better understanding of this subject, it's recommended to also read my personal writting "".
Simplified Chinese (or Chinese Simplified):
The WRITTEN text (of Chinese) that is used in mainland China and among people of Chinese origin
in Singapore nowadays. This written form mainly evolved and was adopted after the end of civil war and the establishment of today's P.R.China in 1949, so you may also call it as a relatively “modern form” of Chinese text. The reason and purpose for the Chinese government to develop this simplified writing system is believed to be “simplifying the writing method, easing the effort in writing, and encouraging more people to become literate.”
Traditional Chinese (or Chinese Traditional):
The WRITTEN text (of Chinese) that is used in Hong Kong and Taiwan nowadays. As its name tells, this is a traditional version that had been written by Chinese people for thousands of years. Although people in Mainland China and Singapore began to adopt the Simplified text after 1949, people in HK and Taiwan continued to use the “old” traditional text due to the political separation.
Mandarin and Cantonese:
They are two SPOKEN styles/dialects of Chinese language. As an official spoken “dialect”, Mandarin is widely used in Mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore. In translation industry, Cantonese is specifically targeted to HK audience only. (This article is mainly about a Comparison between Simplified Chinese and the Traditional Chinese. For better understanding of this subject, it's recommended to also read our article "".)
The Difference:
Theoretically and at the beginning, they had NO DIFFERENCE except for the writing method of the Chinese characters!
Simplified Chinese (SC) characters have fewer strokes and are easier to write than Traditional Chinese (TC), that is why it’s called “Simplified” and is the ONLY difference when the SC writing system was first developed. However, the rapidly changing world have brought out more and more new words (such as the “Internet”, “Software”) into our daily life, and naturally, these new words may have different local versions in Mainland China, HK and Taiwan respectively. To use proper terms is the first concern when a specific version (either SC or TC) is specified as the target
Secondly, the political isolation between P.R.China and HK, Taiwan for several decades also created some slight variation in the style and wording of language, which are naturally reflected in their written forms (to understand the second situation, you may associate it with the difference between the written styles of US English and British English).
For Simplified Chinese translators who wish to translate into Chinese Traditional, or for Traditional Chinese translators who wish to translate into Chinese Simplified, they need to get familiar with style and wording of the target language, and make sure to use proper version for those specific terms. Doubt whether they can perform perfectly in this aspect? You may compare by asking whether a well-educated American guy can write good British English.
To conclude:
The above information may sound a little bit complicated to non-Chinese speaking people. To make things simple, let’s put it this way:
For mainland readers, translate into Simplified Chinese text, mandarin style
For HK readers, translate into Traditional Chinese text, Cantonese style
For Taiwanese readers, translate into Traditional Chinese text, mandarin style
For Singapore readers, same as for mainland readers.
Keywords: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, English-Chinese Translation, English to Chinese translation, translate English into Chinese.
