15．A hole at the bottom of a ship will allow water to flood into the hull（船体），causing it to sink．But believe it or not，most large ships sailing over the deep ocean waters actually have one or more good-sized holes at their bottom!These holes have been given a rather fanciful name-moon pool．A moon pool is basically an opening located at the floor or the hull of a sailing ship，which is used for gaining easier and safer access to the water below．
Above Sea Level
This is the first and most basic type of the moon pool．It is located within a sailing ship，inside a chamber（船舱） that is built above sea level．This chamber is constructed such that it is easily accessible via hallways and stairways，inside the sailing shup．This type usually requires ships to have a twin-hull design，and is most commonly found on oil drilling platforms．
At Sea Level
This type is found in ships with a single hull design．In these ships，the hull is well below sea level，which causes the water to rise up inside the opening of the moon pool，making it seem there is a swimming pool．To prevent the rising water from flooding the hull and sinking the ship，the sides of the moon pool are designed such that they rise up higher than water level in the pool，containing an overflow（溢流管）．This type also has doors present inside the hull．The openings to the moon pool can be closed by shutting the doors．
Below Sea Level
This type of moon pool is present below sea level．The chamber housing the moon pool is made completely airtight（不透气的） with a two-door mechanism．The first door opens to the hull while the second one opens to the sea water．When a diver wants to enter the water，he will enter into the middle chamber through the first door，while the second one is kept locked．Once the dive is inside the chamber，the first door is locked．Then the second door is opened and the diver is able to enter the water．To get back in，he will need to get into the chamber through the second door while the first remains locked．Once he is inside the chamber，the second door is closed，and the water in the chamber is pumped out before the first door is opened．                In Submerged Habitats（水下居住舱）
This type is usually found in deep underwater habitats，which are made completely airtight and filled with air up to normal atmospheric pressure．The moon pool provides the only way to enter or exit from these habitats．The entry and exit mechanism is similar to the one used by the below sea level type of moon pools．

59．A moon pool on an oil drilling platformC．
A．has doors present inside the platform
B．looks like a swimming pool in the platform
C．is easy to access through hallways and stairways
D．has higher sides than water level in the pool
60．Moon pools in ships with a single hull design are often builtB．
A．above sea level    B．at sea level   C．below sea level   D．in submerged habitats
61．What is the right procedure for getting back in the hull through the moon pool below sea level？D
a．Open the first door．b．Pump the water put．
c．Close the second door．d．Enter the secong door．
A．d，b，c，a    B．d，a，b，c    C．a，b，d，c     D．d，c，b，a．

2．Thecommercial（商业的） future of the company looks very promising．

12．Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society，and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life．To what extent（程度） do you agree or disagree with the above opinion？
In this fast-paced world，many values are undergoing major changes．While people traditionally prioritize（优先考虑） caring，sharing and generosity in life and work，modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-cocerned．
Modern people act selfishly to survive the fierce competition of life．They say that it is a jungle and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas．In a company，employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position，even at the cost of colleagues'benefits．We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct．It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences．
In spite of common practice，it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness，both of which are not newly invented vocabulary．In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were condemned（责难） then．But we cannot ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with people in the modern society．
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them？There is no fixed answer either．Some people take great pleasure helping and giving much to others while others feel happy doing the opposite．But I personally think that people should not be too selfish．Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial（互利的） relationship．
In conclusion，modern people appear to be more self-centred than those in the past due to heavy outside pressure．However，we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others．

19．When I was about 12，I had an enemy，a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings（缺点）．Week by week her list grew：I was very thin，I wasn't a good student，I talked too much，I was too proud，and so on．I tried to hear all this as long as I could．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．
He listened to me quietly，then he asked．"Are the things she says true or not？Janet，didn't you ever wonder what you're really like？Well，you now have that girl's opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I discovered that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldn't change （like being very thin），but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself．
I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．"That's just for you，"he said．"You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself．But you have to learn to listen，not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt．When something said about you is true，you'll find it will be of help to you．Our world is full of people who think they know your duty．Don't shut your ears．Listen to them all，but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do．"
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments．In my life，I've never had a better piece of advice．

16．The widespread number of food scandals （丑闻） in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth．They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean，healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease？
Most of the food we eat today is processed food（加工食品）．That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets，especially packaged foods，are prepared in factories．Chemicals are
added to the foods in these factories to make them look better，taste better and last longer on the shelf．The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used．Unfortunately，some producers do not obey the laws．
A producer of steamed buns （馒头） in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law．He was adding yellow dye （染色） and other banned （被禁止的） chemicals to the buns．He was also taking old buns and using th em to make new buns．Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students…like you！
Why did he do it？Why did he break the law and endanger people's health？The answer is simple：he wanted to make more money．It was a moral failing，and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China．Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others．

1．Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable．Every society also has its taboos，or types of behavior that are considered a violation （违反） of good manners．
The word"taboo"comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided．（36）C They tend to be specific to a culture or country，and usually form around a group's values and beliefs．What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another．
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly，or relate to one's manner of speaking．In many cultures，for example，it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public．In some countries，the volume （音量） of one's voice may annoy people．（37）F
（38）A For example，one of the biggest differences among many Western，Asian，and African cultures is the use of eye contact．In the US，people make eye contact when they talk to others．（39）G In many Asian and African cultures，however，children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders，or those of higher rank，as a way to show respect．
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in．Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries．（40）B Also，in some Asian countries，moving your hands a lot while talking，or‘talking with your hands'，is considered unsuitable．
