Subject: the 7th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day
Each year, on System Administrator Appreciation Day, we pause to recognize many contributions that have made by our system administrators during the year. This year's System Administrator Appreciation Day will be held on December 10 and not December 5 as announced earlier. The Event Planning Committee is looking for your help to make this year's celebration the best yet.
We are looking for ways to increase employee involvement in the event. For instance, would you like to help schedule the event program or bring food？ Would you have time to set up decorations？ Or perhaps you'd be willing to help by wiping off the tables, disposing of garbage, storing leftover food and removing decorations after the event.
An informational session will be held on Thursday, November 24 in room 208. If you would like to volunteer to help out at the 7th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day, please contact Ms. Becky Walls at 504-2961.
If you are unable to attend the meeting but, have ideas you would like to share, please e-mail me at stella@cisco.com.

The Net Cost of Making a Name for Yourself
Companies are paying up to $10,000 to register a domain name on the Internet even though there is no guarantee that they will get the name they want.
The task of registering domains ending in. com, org, .edu and. net is at present contracted out by the US government to the Virginia-based company Network Solutions. The contract runs out this year, and the government wants to bring in a different scheme.
But last year, an ad hoc committee of the Internet's great and good revealed its own plan. This involved setting up seven new domains, each indicating the kind of business or organisation using that name. The committee recruited 88 companies around the world to act as registrars for its firm, . shop, . web, . arts, . rec, . info and. nom domains. The US government has still to give the system its blessing, and may yet push ahead with its original scheme. Despite this, the 88 registrars have been taking applications for several months. They are due to start registering names this month with the Internet Council of Registrars, which grew out of the ad hoc committee.
To prevent conflicting names from being registered, the council will take one name from each registrar in mm before going back for the second name in their queues, and so on. This has led to a flourishing trade, with companies trying to buy a place near the head of the queue. Global Names of Singapore is charging $10,000 to make sure a request for a name is the first one it sends off to the central database. Other registrars are charging nonrefundable deposits for places at the top of the queue. David Maher, chairman of the Policy Oversight Committee that is helping to set up and oversee the system, says that all registrars are subject to local laws regarding consumer protection and competition. But he says that the committee "will not act as an enforcement body in this area."
The domain .name ". edu" is operated by
A．the US government.
B．the company Network Solutions.
C．Internet Council of Registrars.
D．both A and B

第8题
The issue has received little attention in Congress this year, but the Senate Finance Committee is holding hearings on tax simplification for individuals.
Tax specialists from various political and economic viewpoints said the task would be difficult.
"We need tax simplification," said Nina Olson, the taxpayer advocate at the Internal Revenue Service. "But simplification will not be simple."
Those questioned about it emphasized many of the same solutions: ease the rules defining family status or tax individuals instead of families, revise the alternative minhnum tax so it again applies to the rich instead of the middle class, eliminate all but one of the rules made, phase out tax breaks as income rises and replace the complicated form. used to report capital gains with a single line on tax returns.
The issue is complex because a complicated tax system is not without its benefits, said William Gale, a tax scholar at the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit research organization in Washington.
"In an ideal world we would have no pollution," he said, "but to do what we want to do, like drive cars, we have to tolerate some pollution. Tax complexity is like that; sometimes it lets you do things you want, but some of it is just a pure waste, and we should focus on getting rid of complexity with no value".
Questions:
16. Which of the following statements can best indicate the main idea of the talk？
17.Which organization has paid attention to the country's tax system？
18.From what viewpoints did tax specialists remark that the task would be difficult？
19.What is the Brookings Institution？
20.What was tax complexity figuratively regarded as by William Gale？
(36)
A．Revising the alternative minimum tax.
B．Under President Bush's tax plan, the rise would be even steeper.
C．Raising taxes: the current tax law is out of date.
D．Simplifying U. S. taxes: it's complex.

Initially the judges in the pairs figure—skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair，even though they had a fall during their routine.But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for failing to reveal that she had been put under pressure to Vote for the Russians.The International Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up(亚军).
The ISU，skating’s governing body, now says it intends to change the rules.In future 14 judges will judge each event，but only 7 of their scores--selected at random--will count,
The ISU won’t finally approve the new system until it meets in June but already UK Sport.the British Government’s sports body.has expressed reservations.“I remain to be convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone concerned with ethical sport is looking for”，says Jerry Bingham，UK Sport’s head of ethics(伦理).
A random system can still be manipulated，says Mark Dixon，a specialist on sports statistics from the Royal Statistical Society in London.“The score of one or two judges who have been nobbled(受到贿赂)may still be in the seven selected.”
Many other sports that have judges，including diving，gymnastics，and synchronized swimming.have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores.If a judge was under pressure to favour a particular team，they would tend to give it very high scores and mark down the opposition team，so their scores wouldn’t count.It works for diving，says Jeff Cook，a member of the international government body’s technical committee.“If you remove those at the top and bottom you’re left with those in the middle，SO you’re getting a reasonable average.”
Since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, diving has tightened up in its system still further.Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions.Neither panel knows the scores given by the other.“We have done this to head off any suggestion of bias.”says Cook.
Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options.“Tms should involve examining the way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating(裁定)on matter of style. and presentation，”he says.
