Nearly 790 million people around the world do not get enough to eat, most of 1. live in developing countries.
A group of researchers in California may have found a way 2.(help) feed the hungry people. Stephen Mayfield, a professor at the University of California, studies on algae(藻类). He says, “The world, in fact, is not short of calories. 3. it is short of is proteins(蛋白质) and essential fatty acids(脂肪酸). Algae are 4.(natural) very high in proteins and fatty acids and those are sort of the two things that the world really needs.”
Mayfield and his team have made algae 5. different kinds of food. Not only is the algae food rich in protein and fatty acids, but it also 6.(taste) pretty good.
And growing algae uses 7.(little) land than other kinds of protein. Mayfield’s big idea is that algae farms could one day replace the huge amounts of land 8.(use) by farmers to produce protein from cattle or soybeans.
Mayfield’s team just successfully finished a test in which they grew algae in an outdoor environment. “Algae food 9.(product) are not yet available for sale. But in the future algae may help feed people threatened by 10.(starve),” says Mayfield.

Since its launch in 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states ________ the United States.
“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading _______ early and often for young black boys, then they will choose to read for _______.

Hotels should be as good as their guests think they are. Guest satisfaction is quite important to any hotel. 1. And even in many cases they will have to go above and beyond to impress the guests.
2.
In today’s world where everything is available on the Internet, customers tend to get their first information about the hotels online. The guest experience begins long before they arrive at the front desk to check in.
Know your customers.
Customer satisfaction is more than just a smile when you greet them. Knowing the customer base is what matters the most. Connect with your guests before they arrive at the front desk. 3. It will help the hotel to add some touches and details that personalize the guest experience.
Train your staff.
4. A staff well-trained in dealing with the complaints, but more importantly avoiding them in the first place, will do better overall. Your employees must be friendly, welcoming and approachable.

Differences in time zones complicate international phone calls. But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in different cultures.
People from the USA as well as other North Americans believe “Time is money”. This value of time is rooted in their ancestors. Early in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land. To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggle day and night. Time meant so much to them that they had not even one second to waste. After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficient use of time and passed it down. Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective(深思熟虑的) people.
In some countries, the American work style of speeding everything up will have no significance. In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster service you get. Close relatives take absolute priority; non-relatives are kept waiting. In the Middle East, a deadline, which is often established to show the degree of urgency or importance of work, will do nothing but stop the Middle Easterners from working, because they consider it rude and overly demanding.
Another aspect reflecting different concepts of time is the classification of monochronic-time and polychronic-time by Edward T Hall. People from monchronic(共时性的) cultures, such as the Germans, the Austrians, the Swiss and the Americans, do only one important thing at a time. In polychromic(多元时间模式的) cultures, people such as Arab, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach. They do several things at once. Time commitments, e.g. deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casually and changed often and easily. Miscommuication will arise when people from two cultures contact. Charlies Hawkins, a U.S. teacher, told me that many a time his appointments with Indians were interrupted constantly, not only by private phone calls, but also by long conversations with other people and even the neighbor’s children, which displeased and even annoyed him.
1.Why did the ancestors of the North Americans believe “Time is money”?
A. They had to work efficiently to survive. B. They got the idea from their past generations.
C. They didn’t like to deal with reflective people. D. They formed the habit of finishing work ahead of time.
2.What can be concluded from Paragraph 3?
A. Deadlines will make American people angry.
B. In the Arab East, you’d better speed everything up.
C. Middle Easterners can’t deal with demanding work.
D. People from the Arab East attach importance to relationship.
3.What can we learn about people from monochronic cultures?
A. They tend to interrupt others constantly. B. They can’t tolerate lateness or interruptions.
C. They are more likely to change their schedules. D. They like to schedule several activities at the same time.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. The importance of the diversity of culture B. The relationship between efficiency and culture
C. Different time values in different cultures D. Monochronic culture and polychronic culture
