某网站上组织了一次讨论,其中David, Joe, Sophie, Michael与Bauer的观点颇具代表性。以下是他们各自的观点。阅读下面发表在该网站上的6段留言(A、B、C、D、E和F),选择与其观点一致的表述,并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多途选项。

1.David believes people shouldn't smoke in public places as it harms others.

2.Joe insists that smokers should put the cigarette ends where they should go.

3.Sophie holds that this question should call for a further argument.

4.Michael thinks cigarette taxes should be raised for free healthcare for nonsmokers.

5.Bauer thinks that victims of second - hand smoking should leave smoking areas to avoid harm.

A

The stupid thing is, I often see people smoking and then they throw the cigarette ends away from them when they have finished, not even stopping them but it just seems like once they have finished, they don't want it near them, perhaps they ought to have to carry their own ash trays in their pockets.

B

In many places, there are no non - smoking bars or restaurants.Unless people refuse to go out with friends who smoke, they cannot avoid passive smoking.Society accepts that adults can decide to harm themselves.so long as they do not harm others.This is why the suggestion is not arguing that people should be banned from smoking in private.Passive smokers do choose to breathe in other people's smoke.If they do not want to smoke passively, they do not need to go to places where smoking is allowed.There is therefore no reason to prevent smoking in public.

C

I'm only for smoking because not only do nice people and many friends and family of mine smoke, but this debate needs someone to take the side of the smoker.Otherwise we're just picking on a set of people.The only comment so far for smoking has been that clever one about how they pay for it.Smoking has its good points, whether it is giving job opportunities to millions of people, or getting extra breaks at work.Anyway, I do have a lot to say against smoking too, but again, debate.

D

What I care about is whether people can get free healthcare.Some people deliberately take dangerous toxins into their bodies because they're "addicted" while there are other people like my uncle who died of lung cancer and he never smoked in his life.It makes you wonder why cigarettes are so cheap.Surely all the taxes from cigarettes ought to go to help people who don't smoke.Perhaps we ought to sort things out.

E

Completely against it.I work in a bar and 1 get so sick of coming home smelling like a bonfire. And if that isn't enough, I'm probably going to get lung cancer from those idiots that decide to excite themselves.However,! do understand that for some older smokers it is a habit because they may have been smoking long before they knew it was bad for them.I do think there's no excuse for my generation to do it though and if they want to die, then go to do it in your own home.

F

Phil and I had a good argument today in the pub.He made the comment, "If he wants to smoke and kill himself, he can!", about which I said "You want to get on your motorbike and risk death, fine", which are basically the same thing.He made the point that he's a good driver and it's not his fault if he gets hurt, but at the end of the day, his fault or not, he knows he could get killed, and he's still taking the risk of being on a bike.I think it's a sick thing to say, being honest! If people want to put something in their mouth and blow on it, they should be allowed without having things like that being said ! It's a free country!

Doubt usually comes along when companies talk very proudly how socially responsible they are, but Nike’s decision to publish its entire list of contract suppliers on the Internet is harder to ignore. Nike’s move opens a new front in companies’ efforts to face their critics.

As Nike states in its latest corporate responsibility report, it is often hard to confirm exactly what is happening at about 800 factories that make its footwear and clothing under contract, many of which are remote.

Nike is hoping other companies will publish their factory lists, too. Hannah Jones, Nike’s vice president for corporate responsibility, says Nike would like to see the best run contract factories using their social position as suppliers to the big brands to try to get more work.

Nike’s approach moves corporate responsibility into its third age. The first age was corporate philanthropy companies donating money to various community projects. The $170,   000,000 that Wal Mart gave in charitable donations last year is a good example. Of course, some critics oppose even this form of corporate generosity(慷慨), arguing that companies should concentrate on making profits, leaving it to shareholders to decide what charitable donations to make.

Corporate responsibility’s second age was reputation management and risk avoidance. Second age corporate responsibility supporters believe agreement with the wider community can warn a company of future risks in advance.

Nike is now trying to go a stage further. The company says it sees corporate responsibility as a way of improving its performance rather than just protecting its reputation. Factories which ensure that workers are registered(已注册的) for social security benefits often become more productive as a result. Attention to one aspect of staff management often leads to improvement in others.

If other companies publish supplier lists, they can together work out common standards, Nike says. At present, different companies have different standards, which make life difficult for the many factories that produce for more than one brand. If other companies published suppliers’ locations, they could work out common standards and save money by relying on one another’s checks.

 

51.Why is it difficult to keep an eye on contract suppliers?

       A.The factories are often distant from companies.

       B.Many suppliers produce for more than one brand.

       C.There are no common standards for their checks.

       D.Some of the contract suppliers lack social responsibility.

52.What effect could Nike’s action have on its contract suppliers?

       A.Their managers will win promotion they desire.

       B.They will get donations from big brands easily.

       C.There’s no need for their factories to be checked.

       D.They may have more opportunities to make money.

53.Which of the following can be described as “the first age of corporate responsibility”?

       A.Communicating with the public to avoid criticism.

       B.Avoiding danger and developing their brands.

       C.Publishing its entire list of contract suppliers.

       D.Offering money to community groups.

54.Which of the following does Nike hope to achieve from its action?

       a. A good reputation as a socially responsible company.

       b. Competition among big brands.

       c. Common standards for companies to follow.

       d. Better living conditions of their staff.

       e. Lower costs and improved performance.

       A.b, c, d                 B.b, d, e                 C.a, b, d                 D.a, c, e

55.What is the best title of the passage?

       A.A New Age of Corporate Responsibility.

       B.Nike’s Staff Management.

       C.Big Brands Working out Common Standards.

D.Lists of Contract Suppliers.
