Major companies are already in pursuit of commercial applications of the new biology. They dream of placing enzymes（酶） in the automobile to monitor exhausts and send data on pollution to a microprocessor（微处理机） that will then adjust the engine. They speak of what the New York Times calls "metal-hungry microbes（渴望吃金属的微生物）that might be used to mine valuable trace metals from ocean water". They have already demanded and won the right to patent newlifeforms.

But the fastest-growing area for Internet spying is the home. SpectorSoft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers. Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners. "In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my boyfriend's true personality," a message on the company's website declares.
What can you expect if someone puts SpectorSoft's Spector 2.2 on your computer？ It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on you can review them later. A new product, SpectorSoft's eBlaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities frequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware.
SpectorSoft has sold 35,000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing market. WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the "discontented family member" market has been finding WinWhatWhere. Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude "key-loggers," software that records every keystroke typed on a computer.
Isn't all this spying on loved ones a little creepy？ Not to SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler. "If you're in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as I'm concerned you deserve to be caught," he says. Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that in a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer. But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden. "Our customers demanded it," he says.
From the text we learn that most companies in the U. S.______.
A．forbid their employees to get online at work
B．respect the online privacy of their employees
C．reveal the privacy of their employees publicly
D．monitor the online activities of their employees

Group as a non-executive director, but is uncertain as to the level and nature of her contribution to the strategic
thinking of the Group.
The Marlow Fashion Group had been set up by a husband and wife team in the 1970s in an economically depressed
part of the UK. They produced a comprehensive range of women’s clothing built round the theme of traditional English
style. and elegance. The Group had the necessary skills to design, manufacture and retail its product range. The
Marlow brand was quickly established and the company built up a loyal network of suppliers, workers in the company
factory and franchised retailers spread around the world. Marlow Fashion Group’s products were able to command
premium prices in the world of fashion. Rodney and Betty Marlow ensured that their commitment to traditional values
created a strong family atmosphere in its network of partners and were reluctant to change this.
Unfortunately, changes in the market for women’s wear presented a major threat to Marlow Fashion. Firstly, women
had become a much more active part of the workforce and demanded smarter, more functional outfits to wear at work.
Marlow Fashion’s emphasis on soft, feminine styles became increasingly dated. Secondly, the tight control exercised
by Betty and Rodney Marlow and their commitment to control of design, manufacturing and retailing left them
vulnerable to competitors who focused on just one of these core activities. Thirdly, there was a reluctance by the
Marlows and their management team to acknowledge that a significant fall in sales and profits were as a result of a
fundamental shift in demand for women’s clothing. Finally, the share price of the company fell dramatically. Betty and
Rodney Marlow retained a significant minority ownership stake, but the company had had a new Chief Executive
Officer every year since 2000.
Required:
(a) Write a short report to Susan Grant identifying and explaining the strategic strengths and weaknesses in the
Marlow Fashion Group. (12 marks)

At this moment, that point of view may seem too optimistic. Last Friday, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives had hoped to produce a finished bill. But they failed, because the party' s fiscal conservatives demanded further savings. House Democrats are also divided on revenue-raising measures.
The Senate is dealing with the same problems: how to contain the cost of expanded insurance coverage, and how to pay for what remains, so that the reform. adds nothing to the budget deficit over the course of 10 years.
Where does the money come from remains the crucial problem. Apparently, the answer is straightforward: tax employer-provided health benefits. At present, an employer in the U. S. is free from paying tax if he pays the health insurance while an individual purchaser has to buy it with after-tax dollars. This anomaly costs nearly $ 250bn a year in revenue—enough to pay for universal coverage, and then some. Yet many Democrats in both the House and the Senate oppose to ending it. Will there be a breakthrough in terms of that aspect？
However, to get employers out of health insurance should be an aim, not something to be feared. Many US workers have complained that if they lose their job, their health insurance will go with it and tying insurance to employment will undoubtedly worsen the insecurity.
What about high-risk workers who are thrown on to the individual market？ If the tax break were abolished as part of a larger reform. which obliges insurers to offer affordable coverage to all people regardless of pre-existing conditions, it will not be a problem. It' s true this change needs to increase tax, and many people in Congress are reluctant to contemplate in any form. But some kind of increase is inescapable. This one makes more sense than most.
The president should say so. His Republican opponent John McCain called for this change during the election campaign and Mr Obama and other Democrats assailed the idea. So what？ Mr. Obama has changed his ideas on other aspects of health reform. For example, it seems that he now prefer an individual mandate to buy insurance. Let us see a similar flexibility on taxing employer-provided insurance.
According to the author, ________.
A．the politics of U. S. health reform. is a total failure
B．there is no possibility of passing a bill
C．it' s difficult to pass a bill
D．U. S. will achieve universal health insurance
