Doctors" moonlighting is becoming popular in hospitals around China. It has not only raised a lot of heated
discussions in the media, but also caught the attention of the central government in Beijing.
On December 26, a spokesman of the Ministry of Health stressed that the ministry was firmly against
doctors" moonlighting, while strict regulations should be applied to doctors taking part-time jobs, the Xinhua
News Agency reported.
Last year, the Ministry sent out a notice to a variety of health organizations to speed up the reform of their
personnel (人事) system. According to the notice, medical organizations can hire medical experts as part-time
doctors but such activities should take place under the hospital"s management and regulations (规定).
As for moonlighting-meaning that the doctor provides medical service without the permission of the original
hospital-such activity goes against China"s Practicing Doctor Law, Xinhua reported.
In China, doctors used to be controlled by hospitals and they could work for only one hospital. However,
as China"s medical personnel system reform developed, it has been recognized that medical human resources,
just like human resources in other areas, should be shared by the whole society. But on the other hand, doctors"
taking part-time jobs should follow the relative regulations applied in the medical field.
First of all, they should follow relative government laws and regulations. They should also follow the rules
and regulations set by the medical organizations they work for. In addition, they should pay taxes for their
income from the part-time jobs. What matters most is that they should first finish their regular jobs as required
and be responsible for patients to ensure qualified and safe medical treatment. |

The cost of rice is expected to go up in the coming months, as an improving global economy raises
demand, and drought (旱灾) cuts production in countries such as India. Some economists say prices for
rice, the Precision Castingstaple food for much of the world"s population, could be returning to levels that
sparked inflation (通货膨胀) fears in much of Asia last year.
Charuk Singhapreecha is dean of the faculty (系)of economics at Thailand"s Kasetsart University. He
says prices-especially for Thai rice-are being pushed higher by new customers coming into the market
after the economic slowdown of the past year."They expect that the world demand will increase andCast
steel we expect that the price of rice will increase next year, " Charuk said."There are many new markets
for the Thai rice and also we still have for our old customer-China, some Arab countries-they will increase
the demand."
Prices on the global market could again near the record above $1,000 a ton set in the middle of 2008.
This month, export prices for Southeast Asian rice have jumped from about $550 a ton or less to more
than $650.
Vichai Sriprasert, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, says further weakness in the US
dollar and concerns over drought add to pressure on prices. Market experts say next year India is likely
to try to import three million tons of rice - entering the world market for the first time in 21 years-because
of a drought.
Vichai also warns that increasing demand for bio-fuels (生物燃料) from grain could reduce food crops,
forcing the price of food grains higher. "This is very serious. That"s why the price of rice will not go back
to the level that we used to see," Vichai said. "It will have to be elevated at a higher level, but I don"t know
where."
The Philippines this week said it is cutting rice imports because of high prices, even though the country
lost more than a million tons of grain to typhoons this year. Officials from Vietnam, a leading export
competitor with Thailand, predict prices will reach about $800 a ton by the middle of 2010. This week
the Philippines" National Food Authority offered almost $665 a ton for 600,000 tons of Vietnamese rice.
Economists say higher food prices will only increase the problems faced by the region"s poor, who are
highly dependent on rice as a staple food. |

An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale
of bottled water form Japan. The water is angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles "before
it reaches Western customers." transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid
use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the OK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying
praums( 对虾) from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).
Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation
of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container
ships that are extremely energy efficient (高能效的). It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25
miles in a truck product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides,the idea of "of miles" ignores the
amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown
in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British one will have been raised in heated
greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What the idea of "food miles "does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from
First World food markers. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign
of the success of the global (全球的) trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment. |

| 1. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ____. |
A. OK wastes a lot of money importing food products

A. that a food product travels to a market
B. that a food product travels from one market to another
C. between UK and other food producing countries
D. between a Third World country and a First World food market |
| 3. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the another tries to explain that _____. |
A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than British ones
C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money |
| 4. From the passage we know that the author is most probably _____. |
A. a supporter of free global trade

"Who made your T-shirt?" A Geo letown University student raised that question. Pietra Rivoli, a professor
of business, wanted to find the answer. A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path
from Texas cotton. rim to Chinese factory to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book.
The trat " s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy (经济).
Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli
from the usual arguments over global trade. She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises
around every corner. In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a
step toward a better are for the people who word there. In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she
realizes that "it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market," where the price of a
shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.
Rivoli " s book is full of me able people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell
(泥土香味) of the cotton." She says, "Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallo water Texas." Rivoli is
her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections, She even finds one between the free traders and
those who are against globalization. The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets
need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check. True economic progress needs them both. |

As societies develop, their members start to see things not so much according to what they need, but
according to what they want. When people have enough money, these wants become demands.
Now, it" s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they
are going to develop effective marketing strategies (策略). There are various ways of doing this. One way
at supermarkets (超市), for example, is to interview (采访) customers while they" re doing their shopping.
They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied. This provides
information on which to base future marketing strategies. It"s also quite normal for top managers from
department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public, as if
they were ordinary customers, to get an idea of how customers act.
Another way to get information from customers is to give them something. For example, some fast food
restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for
nothing. As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money, it
also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract. Another
strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in
their work, touting the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that. This provides them with a
perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed. |
| 1. The text is designed for _____. |
A. mangers
B. salesmen
C. researchers
D. customers |
| 2. Which of the following can help managers get useful information? |
A. Visiting customers themselves.
B. Giving customers free food on the street.
C. Visiting parks as ordinary customers.
D. Asking customers questions at supermarkets. |
| 3. What does the word "this" underlined in the last sentence refer to? |
A. Visiting Disneyland.
B. Wearing attractive clothes.
C. Acting Mickey Mouse.
D. Dressing up and walking around. |

A. how to do market research

Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses, sailors and in other difficult
but low-paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage-earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-
in the Philippines" case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on
the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting
(劳务输出) countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars. As for
those Asian countries that import (输入) labour, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need
more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed an agreement to
help migrant (流动的) workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing
problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked
outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers.
So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export
labour, Singapore and Brunei import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sziraczki of the UN"s International
Labour Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labour force of the worker exporting
countries should grow by about a third. It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs. Most Thais said their
government should admit (准入) no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore,
just over ball of people are against admitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the increase in foreign
workers has worsened crime rates (犯罪率). |
| 1. It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that _____. |
A. the country is Asia"s main source of migrant workers
B. labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C. the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D. the country both exports and imports labour force |
| 2. The flow of labour is a growing problem because _____. |
A. there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B. more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C. some countries suffer from low birth rates
D. the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers |
| 3. For the labour-importing countries, the flow of labour may lead to _____. |
A. higher birth rates
B. lower crime rates
C. greater money inflows
D. stronger job competition |
| 4. The writer of the text seems to _____. |
A. support the flow of labour between countries
B. report fairly on the question of labour flow
C. express his worries over the ASEAN"s decision
D. regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem |
