22、Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch’s daughter, Elisabeth, spoke of the “disturbing lack of integrity across so many of our institutions”. Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism” in society should be profit and the market. But “it’s us, human beings who create the society we want, not profit”.

Driving her point home, she continued: “It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous drivers for capitalism and freedom.” This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International, she thought, making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.

As the hacking trial concludes – finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones, and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge –the wider issue of lack of integrity still stands. Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people. This is hacking on an industrial scale, as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This long story still unfolds.

In many respects, the lack of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place. One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.

In today’s world, title has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run, and perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine(主义) has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business–friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.

The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instructions—nor received traceable, recorded answers.

【1】According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by ________.

A．the consequences of the current sorting mechanism

B．companies’ financial loss due to immoral practices

C．governmental ineffectiveness on moral issues

D．the wide misuse of integrity among institutions

【2】It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.

A．Glem Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime

B．more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking

C．Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge

D．phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions

【3】The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows _________.

A．generally distorted values

B．unfair wealth distribution

C．an unpopular lifestyle

D．a strict moral code

【4】Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?

A．The quality of writing is of primary importance.

B．Common humanity is central to news reporting.

C．Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.

D．Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.

23、Taking pressure off sports competitions

Sports are a great way to have fun and stay active. Competitions can make sports more exciting. But because somebody wins and somebody loses competitions can also make kids be under pressure. A little pressure can be OK. But too much pressure is bad news. 【1】

What is a competition?

There are different kinds of competition in sports. 【2】 For example, a swimmer might compete individually, but the person's score may also contribute to a teams score. What all sports competitions have in common is that all of the competitors want to win. 【3】

Why do I feel under pressure?

Do you ever have “butterflies” in your stomach? It's that nervous feeling some people get when starting to attend a new school or preparing for a big soccer match. Believe it or not, the best player on your team gets nervous before a big game. 【4】 Feeling a little excited or nervous is OK, though. This helps your body and mind get ready to compete. But if you're getting so nervous that you aren't having much fun, it's time to figure out why.

How can I deal with pressure?

When you're competing in sports, you need a lot of energy. 【5】 Be sure to go to bed on time. And don't forget to eat well on game day. Try to attend all of your team's practices. By practicing, you'll improve your playing skills. The more prepared you are, the better you'll feel and the more fun you'll have.

A．Read on to learn more about sport pressure.

B．What if you want to give up?

C．But usually only one person or team does.

D．It takes a lot of work to become skilled at a sport.

E．Even professional players feel nervous sometimes!

F．One secret to having lots of energy is to get plenty of sleep.

G．You may compete by yourself, as part of a team, or both.

24、   Today the idea of “simple and seasonal" seems to be everywhere. But Alice Waters was saying it about 50 years ago, when Chez Panisse first opened on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley. Neither a trained cook nor a businesswoman, she has changed the face of American dining.

Waters never intended to have the power she now has. Growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s, she went to the University of California, Berkeley, only because her closest friends were going, and for a while she didn't have a dear aim.

But living in France for a year changed everything. Waters fell in love with good food and the care people took over its sourcing and cooking. “I took my Slow Food values— everyone should have access to good food, and growers are properly valued—from 1960s France,” she says. “By the time I came home they were part of me.”

Back in California, all Waters wanted to do was cook and open a restaurant. When Chez Panisse finally opened, with dinner cooked and served by a team with no training, it was a disaster. Guests waited ages for their food. But Waters was not discouraged. “I've always said that if someone makes delicious food, others will find it.”

Since 1971, Chez Panisse's only expansion has been a cafe upstairs. Waters has always refused to make it bigger since that might weaken the Chez Panisse brand. Her Edible Schoolyard Project, on the other hand, has been intentionally spread out. It started when Waters created a garden space at a Berkeley school for teaching about food. Today, over 2,000 schools worldwide arc following Waters' original model.

The Schoolyard represents everything Alice Waters stands for and acts as a cornerstone, promoting both educational and personal growth. The food is grown slowly and naturally by hand. Students learn about the benefits of healthy eating, careers in food industry, nutrition, food safety, and the restaurant business.

【1】What can we know about Waters' Slow Food values?

A．Her closest friends impressed them on hen

B．She came up with them when she was in France.

C．They have made a difference to American dining.

D．They were popular in America about 50 years ago.

【2】What happened to Chez Panisse when it just opened?

A．It disappointed Waters.

B．It didn't come out well.

C．It failed to serve good food.

D．It achieved immediate success.

【3】What is the purpose of Waters, Edible Schoolyard Project?

A．To spread knowledge about food.

B．To enrich campus life.

C．To help students experience farming.

D．To reduce students' pressure.
