People of a city are often proud (自豪的) of living in it. People of Manchester believes that there is no better city than Manchester; people of Liverpool feel the same way about Liverpool. Outsiders and passing travelers may be interested in what the difference is between one city and another. Maybe they remember Newcastle because of its bridge over the River Tyne, or Liverpool because of its docks (码头). There is one difference which most people can hear; that is the different ways of speaking and also some words which are used only in one place. In Newcastle, for example, "hoy" is used instead of "throw", and "marra" instead of "friend", as is shown in the sentence "Hoy the ball to me", and "He's my marra at work in the factory."

Scientists have found that there are three distinct stages in a mosquito's assault. Stage one is at fifty feet away, when the insect first smells a man or animal to bite. Stage two is thought to come into operation about twenty-five feet from the target, when the insect becomes guided by the carbon dioxide breathed out by the intended victim. Stage three is when the mosquito is only a matter of inches from its prey: the warmth and moisture given off by the victim is the final clue. The researchers then examined how repellents (驱虫剂) interfere with its three-stage attack. They found repellents act more subtly than by just giving off a nasty smell. A Canadian researcher says that repellents appear to confuse mosquitoes first when it is following the carbon dioxide and second during the find approach, where the warmth and moisture aren't the insect's guide.
Air pervaded by one of the many chemical repellents stops the mosquito reacting to the victim's carbon dioxide, anti the repellent seems to affect the tiny hairs with which the insect senses moisture in the air. The sensors are blocked so that the insect does not know when it is flying through a moist current, or the sensors are made to send the wrong signals.
One positive suggestion from the researchers followed the discovery that mosquitoes on the hunt tend to fly very close to the ground. A dense screen of trees around a village may keep mosquitoes at bay.
The experts also agree that mosquitoes seem to prefer some people to others, but they don't know why.
The phrase "homes in on its target" (Sentence 1, Para. 1) in the context means ______.
A．find its way to the intended victim
B．move towards the prey
C．set off for the target
D．aim at the victim

？Read the article below about the shortage of talent in Asia.
？Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.
？For each gap 8-12, mark one letter (A-G).
？Do not use any letter more than once.
？There is one extra letter which you do not need to use.
Asia's Skills Shortage
It seems odd. In the world's most populous region the biggest problem facing employers is a shortage of people.
Asia has more than half the planet's inhabitants and is home to many of the world's fastest-growing economies. But some businesses are being forced to reconsider just how quickly they will be able to grow, because they cannot find enough people with the skills they need.
In a recent survey, 600 Chief executives of multinational companies with businesses across Asia were interviewed. (8) It was their second-biggest headache in Japan (after cultural differences) and the fourth-biggest in India (after problems with infrastructure,bureaucracy and wage inflation) . Across almost every industry and sector it was the same.
Old Asia-hands may find it easy to understand why there is such concern. The region's rapid economic growth has fished out the pool of available talent, they would say. (9) Recent growth in many parts of Asia has been so great that it has rapidly transformed the type of skills needed by businesses. Schools and universities have been unable to keep up.
This is especially true for professional staff. Airlines are one example. Many new carriers are setting up and airlines are offering more services to meet demand. (10) According to Alteon Training, the commercial-pilot training arm of Boeing, India has fewer than 3000 pilots today but will need more than 12000 by 2025. China will need to find an average of 2200 new pilots a year just to keep up with the growth in air travel,which means it will need more than 40000 pilots by 2025. In the meantime, with big international airlines training only a few hundred pilots a year, Asian airlines have taken to poaching them, often from each other.
(11) China has been trying to lure pilots from Brazil, among other places.
With such a mismatch between supply and demand in Asia's labour markets, companies will have to become better at hiring good staff and keeping them. The first priority is to realize that retention is more important than recruitment. But as some companies will always be better at this than others, the job-hopping and poaching are set to continue for many years, until education and training catch up. (12) Without talented recruiting policies, some firms may end up scaling back their bold Asian growth-plans.
A．However, there is also a failure of education.
B．Philippine Airlines, for instance, lost 75 pilots to overseas airlines during the past three years.
C．As it turned out, they ranked a shortage of qualified staff as their biggest concern in China and South-east Asia.
D．There is also a severe shortage of good managers.
E．The consequences of that are depressing and will limit the growth.
F．But, in the meantime, there is a dreadful shortage of pilots.
G．Asia has more than half the planet's inhabitants and is home to many of the world's fastest-growing economies.

Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others while they are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. In some ways, the way we fail to listen is symbolic of the way we live. We often treat communication as if it were a race. It's almost like our goal is to have no gaps between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafeteria having lunch, overhearing the conversation around us. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another; instead they were taking turns not listening to one another. I asked my wife if I still did the same thing. With a smile on her face she said, "only sometimes".
Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person. It takes pressure from you. If you think about it, you'll notice that it takes an enormous amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you (or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your responses. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish, as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said, you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You will immediately feel more relaxed, and so will the people you are talking to. They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for "air time"! Not only will becoming a better listener make you a more patient person, it will also enhance the quality of your relationships. Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.
According to the passage, an effective listener should ______.
A．accept the speaker's thought critically
B．respond to the speaker's words slowly
C．wait for the chance to respond patiently
D．reply the speaker's questions patiently

A
Regular European business travellers view travelling on commercial airlines as inefficient and inconvenient~ Mostly it is not the airlines' fault but the infrastructure they have to work with. Private aircraft are being bought primarily not to save money on tickets but to save time. Scheduled flights in Europe cover only 10 per cent of the destinations available. Delays, more likely than not in European travel these days, waste precious time. The number of hours top executives with huge salaries waste has a direct impact on cost-effectiveness.
B
The gradual completion of Europe's single market means that more and more executives are crisscrossing Europe looking for business. With European domestic air fares extremely high, a corporate jet looks more attractive for executives flying three or four times a month. Even some of Europe's smaller companies are investigating it. However, the larger European airports operate priority regulations which govern slot allocation for take-off and create delays; airlines have first priority, chartered flights come second, air taxis third and business jets are fourth on the list. Smaller airports pose problems of access and a risk of inadequate ground handling.
C
Most businesses will not discuss their corporate aircraft or even reveal whether the already high-earning chief executive has an aircraft, for fear of shareholder reaction. There is still some stigma attached to ownership of a business jet. With new planes costing anything from $5 million upwards plus extra comforts in the interior, many companies feel they can't justify the expense to shareholders and employees. For some European managers a private jet is seen as an unacceptable perk indicating serious problems in a company's management.
D
The market for private aircraft divides into two sectors: the no-expense-spared rich man's plaything - the popular image - and the serious business tool owned by corporations. Manufacturers deliver the former as what is called a 'green' aircraft - a plane that is unfinished except for a green corrosive-resistant paint which covers the bare metal. Owners personalise the plane with telephones, dining areas and even cinemas. The latter sector is very different and planes are normally bought with straightforward seating.
E
Fractional ownership of aircraft has opened up the market, as the low acquisition costs and predictable monthly fees are more palatable to shareholders, and to first-time buyers. Some of the biggest names in the business jet industry have launched their own fractional ownership schemes. Several smaller companies are also getting in on the act and are trying to beat the larger companies down the runway by offering cheaper prices. Yet critics claim that fractional ownership is untested and faces the customer with a wide range of liabilities.
The expense of plane ownership is seen as unacceptable by large numbers of people.
