The UCP provides no guidance where the words“from”and “after” are used to determine
maturity dates of drafts. Reference to “from” and “after” in the UCP refers solely to dateterminology for periods of shipment. Where the word “from” is used to establish the maturity date,intemational standard banking practice would be exclude the date mentioned, unless the credit specifically provides that“from” is considered to include the date mentioned. Therefore, for the purpose of determining the maturity date of a time draft,the words “from” and “after” have the same effect.Calculation of the maturity commences the day following the date of the document, shipment, or other event, i.e.10 days after or from March 1 to March 11.

听力原文: In a scientific context, the word "chaos" bas a slightly different meaning than it docs in its general usage as a state of confusion, lacking any order. Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that nevertheless obeys particular laws or rules. The two main components of chaos theory are the ideas that systems—no matter how complex they may be—rely upon an underlying order, and that very simple or small systems and events can cause very complex behaviors or events.
The Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system with regularly occurring weather phenomena like wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms and less common events(natural disasters) like tornadoes, hurricanes and ice storms, so small changes to one part can have large effects elsewhere. This makes it very difficult to accurately predict weather changes more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, Meteorology.
Chaos theory says that the slightest variation in the motion of the air will grow with time. This idea is sometimes called the butterfly effect, from the idea that the motions caused by the flapping wings of a butterfly eventually could produce marked changes in the state of the atmosphere. Because of this sensitivity to small changes it will never be possible to forecast perfectly, although there still is potential for vast improvement.

An Egyptian king named Psammetichos wished to find out which was the world's oldest language. To gain this information he decided to isolate two newborn babies until they began to speak. Because they were kept from adults, they would have no patterns to imitate. The king made the assumption that the children would speak what was a natural language--which would be the oldest. After some months the children were heard to make a sound which was recorded as "bekos". This was found to be very similar to the Phrygian word for "bread". Therefore Phrygian (a language once spoken in Asia Minor) was considered to be the first language of mankind. At least by King Psammetichos, and, we may assume, by his court.
The two babies were deliberately kept from adults ______ .
A.to see whether they could learn to speak without the help of adults
B.to prove that Phrygian was the first language of mankind
C.to see whether they would speak the Egyptian language
D.to discover which language would come most naturally

The method for making beer has changed over time. Hops (啤酒花), for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a- 26 recent addition to the beverage. This was mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a--- 27 ingredient in residue (残留物) from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from pots and ve__ . The different shapes of the containers 28they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. They --may be ancient “beer-making tools,” and the earliest 29evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To 30that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried 31 inside the vessels. The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麦), and about 10% were bits of roots, 32 lily, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn’t become a 33food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have 34in the region not as food, but as35material for beer brewing.

REFERENCES CANNOT ALWAYS BE TRUSTED BY
POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS
Dull, but reliable, will make a good parent' - so said a head teacher's reference which I was once sent for a school-leaver. (0) H
Most references are unreliable, although recruiters usually ask for them. Few ask for character references today, as these have proved useless. (9) However, these cannot always be trusted. A few may be biased. (10) This can also occur if there has been friction between boss and subordinate over personal or business matters.
On the other hand, there can also be positive bias. An employer who wants to get rid of someone may fail to mention any relevant failings or even give a glowing report to help the individual go quickly. (11) But if they do, the law in Britain says they owe a duty of care to both the employer to whom it is supplied and to the individual to whom it refers.
Most written references are unreliable because they are not specific enough. So how do you, and a potential employer, ensure that any reference given on your behalf is genuinely helpful? (12) Employers normally expect two: one, your immediate superior in your current or most recent job; the other, your boss in the post before, so long as it was in the last five years or so. For a senior post, more may be required.
For their part, no prospective employer should approach your current employer until you have an offer 'subject to references' and you have given permission. (13)
Once you get the offer, and before giving permission to make contact, tell your boss and explain that the prospective employer will be asking for a reference. Do this face-to-face and during the meeting describe the job for which you have applied. If you can provide a job description or the relevant job advertisements, even better. (14)
Even if your referee does express some doubts about your fitness for the post, don't worry, employers often prefer to back their own judgement.
A. It would also be wrong for anyone to contact your penultimate firm before then because word may reach your current employer on the grapevine.
B. In fact, employers do not have to give references at all.
C. These might include your boss's immediate senior and someone at the same level as your boss who is familiar with your work.
D. Your boss can then match the reference needs to the needs of the job.
E. What they seek are references from previous employers.
F. Some managers think it an act of disloyalty if an employee applies for a job elsewhere and will give poor references or only weak praise.
G. Firstly, as an employee, make sure you choose the right referees.
H. It amused me at the time, but said more about the referee than the candidate.
