It’s a natural phenomenon. The minute you think you want to buy something new, you go online to read reviews about it. Not only is this done with shopping, it’s also done for movies to see , restaurants to go to and almost everything that is worth having an opinion on. The concept of writing down a review for all to see is something that has caused the birth of reviews sites. These are sites where people post reviews on other people, services, businesses, products and more.

In some cases you have professionals do the review and in some other cases you will have the average person write it up. Review sites have a number of ways in which they can gain revenue for themselves in the form of advertising. In some cases, a business can pay his way through to a better listing spot. This does not mean that a positive review will be promoted where it is not warranted (担保).

Review sites are largely a public forum and it is not necessary for people to reveal their identity. Since people are anonymous (匿名的) and sign up access is open to all, there are chances that reviews will be planted or will be negatively written simply to discredit a particular product or service.

There is a lot of criticism towards these websites since they do nothing to control the kind of entries made or the source of these entries. On the other hand, there are professional review sites. These people are accountable for each of their reviews. Any doubts you have will be addressed personally by the one writing the review. Such sites work on much better principles allowing for a fair opinion.

Considering they have a better reputation, they are aware of some the latest products that are released worldwide. This gives you a better chance of finding reviews of the latest product. While a review site will help you narrow down your choice, it by no means should influence your final decision. That is based entirely on the way you see fit.

1.Nowadays, before buying something, people usually ________.

A．ask the opinion of others                 B．surf famous review sites.

C．ignore topics of review sites.               D．read reviews on the Internet.

2.The underlined word “revenue” in Paragraph 2 probably means”______”.

A．the announcement posted by sites

B．the income earned from sales or services

C．the freedom of writing reviews

D．the program made by advertisement companies

3.What do we know about the professional reviews sites?

A．The reviews on the sites are written mainly by professors.

B．Those who write the reviews on the sites are serious sometimes.

C．The reviewer addresses your doubt personally for you.

D．The reviewers on the sites are ready to write to you if you like.

4.This passage was written mainly to tell us________.

A．to make good use of review sites

Think twice the next time you decide to copy your boss in an email. That simple little “CC” box (抄送框) could send a message that ruins your relationship with the other receivers.

A study in Harvard Business Review asked working adults to imagine that their coworker always, sometimes, or rarely CC’ed their boss in emails. The study results show that employees felt less trusted when their coworker “always’’ copied the boss than when they ‘‘sometimes” or “almost never” did. The results of the survey aren’t surprising, says career expert Bruce Tulgan. Sometimes the boss really does need to stay in the loop (在圈内) with an email chain. But most times, employees are purposely sending the message that they don’t think the receiver follow through with what they’re asking unless the boss gets involved, says Tulgan. “That is an expression of lack of trust,’’ he says.

Breaking down that trust level in your office can have serious consequences. Like in any relationship, coworkers need trust to keep things running smoothly. “When people have trust, there is a much higher level of wanting to deliver for each other,” says Tulgan. “When people have enthusiasm, they try harder.” That means more willingness to take risks and make decisions, he says. Even if you don’t trust your coworker to follow through for you, copying the boss in an email is not the best strategy, says career expert Todd Dewett, PhD. “CC’ing is the adult version of being a tattletale (告密者),” he says. “It tells your colleague you didn’t agree without telling it to their face, and you want your boss to know without talking about it.”

As a rule of thumb, only about 20 percent of what you do in the office is truly urgent, and those are the only times you should consider getting your boss involved in, says Tulgan. “The most important people, the most important project, key relationship,” she says. “That’s when you might consider the occasional use of CC.”

1.Why could CC’ing ruin your relationship with your coworkers?

A. It makes the boss join the loop.

B. Your coworkers would try harder.

C. It makes the boss satisfied with you.

D. Your coworkers would feel less trusted.

2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. When we can copy the boss in an email.

B. How lack of trust can lead to bad results.

C. Why trust keeps people working smoothly.

D. What can be done to avoid CC’ing the boss.

3.What does the underlined phrase “As a rule of thumb” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Needless to say.　　 B. Generally speaking.

C. In conclusion.　　 D. In turn.

4.What is Bruce Tulgan’s advice on the use of CC?

A. Consider the use of CC accordingly.

B. CC after negotiating with coworkers.

C. It is wise for you to always copy the boss.

D. You’d better never copy your boss in an email.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).

Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have(showcased)nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.

Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.

Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.

The fur trade kept nutria check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.

Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.

Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.

1.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?

A.To promote guilt-free fur.

B.To expand the fashion market.

C.To introduce a new brand.

D.To celebrate a winter holiday.

2.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?

A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.

B.Nutria are an endangered species.

C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.

D.Nutria are illegally hunted.

3.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Boomed. B.Became mature. C.Remained stable. D.Crashed.

4.What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?

A.It’s formal. B.It’s risky. C.It’s harmful. D.It’s traditional.
