TEXT 1

ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Ecology and environmental protection can be a vital issue in modern business. Ecology—the relationship between people and their environment—is an important managerial consideration from a legal as well as societal viewpoint. Nearly everyone accepts the premise that we should maintain an ecologically sound environment, but achieving this goal requires trade-offs that we are not always willing to make. For example, although we fear the oil-spill danger of supertankers, we insist upon readily available supplies of gasoline at reasonable prices Coal-burning boilers were once converted to oil-using furnaces in order to cut air pollution, but since coal is relatively plentiful in the United States. Some plants have reverted to using it. Ecological goals are important; however, the real issue is whether we can coordinate These goals with other societal and economic objectives On this, no clear concensus has emerged. 66. “…trade-offs” (line 5) means nearly the same as___________. a. new products for sale b. funds for investment c. hugh trade deficit d. things given in exchange 67. The examples given in the second paragraph illustrate__________. a. legal viewpoint concerning ecological protection b. close relationship between people and their environment c. vigorous attempt to maintain sound environment d. paradoxes between people’s ideas and practices

According to what is stated in the text, in practice, decisions against ecological benefits are influenced by__________. a. oil-using furnaces b. availability of raw materials c. oil-spill danger of supertankers d. willingness to promote sound environment 69.

A clear concensus is vital in__________. a. requiring businesses to give up profit-making efforts b. attaining a balance between societal and economic demands and ecological requirements c. converting from one type of energy to another d. the co-ordination between the government sector and the private sector 71. “this” (line II) refers to__________. a. the issus b. the concensus c. the goal d. the objective 72. We can safely assume that__________. a. the supply of coal is not readily available b. oil-burning furnaces are less expensive to operate c. oil contributes more to the problem of pollution d. coal burning contributes to air pollution 73. Managerial consideration on ecology protection, as inferred in the text, should include all of the following aspects except__________. a. legal b. societal c. environmental d. pictorial

TEXT 2 Cold-blooded animals such as reptiles and fish do not dream, but warm-blooded ones, including mammals and birds, do.

Many countries have laws which say that you may not take certain goods into or out of a country, or must pay a tax, called a duty or a tariff, on them. Smuggling is the offence of breaking these laws. Smuggling existed on a small scale in ancient times, but it first became common is modern times in Europe around the mid 1100s. Soon there was so much smuggling in England that a law was passed in 1198 imposing heavy penalties for the illegal export of English wool. The law did little to stop the smuggling. It simply meant that the people who were caught were punished more harshly. During the 1700s and early 1800s the smuggling of spirits, such as brandy, became common. The most famous era of British smuggling occurred during the Napoleonic wars in Europe. The British government was trying to break Napoleon’s strength by prohibiting the export of British goods to continental countries. Napoleon was desperate for

Many of these goods, and the smugglers of Kent and Sussex, in southern England, grew rich supplying his needs. Napoleon was so grateful to them that he created a safe refuge for them at Roscoff, an English Chanel port of France. In all periods of modern history gurunning has been profitable. Smuggling of this sort still goes on today. The other main things smuggled today are gold, diamonds, and watches. These commodities hold their value in all parts of the world. Professional smugglers often wear specially made suits or coats to conceal the goods they are smuggling. Customs men use special electronic equipment to detect these smugglers. The penalty for smuggling in most European countries used to be hanging. Nowadays, the punishments vary from fines to imprisonment, but these punishments can be very heavy.
