questions on Answer Sheet questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices

in the passage.How Do You See DiversityAs a manager, Tiffany is
responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company. During one
interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and
somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual had a perfect resume and
gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said
“untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a
diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany
confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was Opt the candidate’s “different”
behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a
household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“I was
just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed
out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with
behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more
diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of
our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified
people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the
process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and
individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive
difference such training can make.“During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to
recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents
were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real
estate teethes began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to
say in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded
by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on
supervising a diverse workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias,” he
recalls. “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to
differences.” In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a
management position open in toy department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. lied

Part IV Reading Comprehension （Reading in Depth） （25 minutes）
(1)The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come.
Organized by the New York- based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers
to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include
organic fabrics in their designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges.
Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says
high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels

. . . .
are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your
customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually
indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still
have few eco-friendly who do make the switch are finding they have more
support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its
participation fee for young green entrepreneurs (企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in
Los Angeles and New sustainable special recognition to designers whose collections are at least
25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two
years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton
farmers go organic: it will buy transitional (过渡型的) cotton at higher prices, thus helping to
expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur,” says
analysts (分析师) fl are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that
ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of
the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not
that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on
the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her
mind. But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.

(6)Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (缕)
of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified
murder method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show
up in people’s hair.“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in your hair,” said Thure
Ceiling, a geologist at the University of U.S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies
vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes
slightly as rain clouds hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of
both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a
result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to r
patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen
isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair
corresponds to about two g’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and

200 hair samples collected from 65 barber were able to accurately place the hair
samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.“It’s not good
for pinpointing (精确定位),” Ceding said. “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd
Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman
whose skeleton was found near Great Salt woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26
bones, a T-shirt and several strands of Park heard about the research, he gave the hair
samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she
moved about every two stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more
specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial
