I want to congratulate you on your (141) work on the revised Essex project. I think your time line will allow us to keep the project moving while giving us enough time to work through the technical problems. Dividing the work (142) the four teams is a much more efficient approach, and as you saw at today's meeting, it addresses the needs of all parties involved.
Because you've become so familiar with the project, I'd like you to (143) the progress in the technical area. I know that this will be your first managerial role, but your efforts on the time line and other projects indicate to me that you are capable of it.
Let me know how you feel about this. I'd like to set up a meeting with Karen as soon as possible to discuss software requirements, and you would (144) to be there, of course.

A．outstanding
B．expressive
C．chief
D．restrained
The dictionary definition of negotiation is "to discuss with the goal of finding terms of
agreement" . Unfortunately, in our world today, many people will interpret negotiation
41．as being the skill of persuading the other people to accept their point of view.
42．Frequently when a deal is struck to the advantage of one of party and the detriment
43．of the other, seeds of disagreement and retaliation are being sown, which can
44．have unforeseen future results. Negotiation is about both sides contributing
45．to an outcome that they feel they can progress the relationship with.
46．It will almost certainly involve in compromise on both sides. A better way
47．to negotiate with is to find out what the needs of the other person are and
48．try to meet them without losing all sight of your own goals. Do not attribute your
49．motives to other people. Regardless of personal style, where there are some things
50．every negotiator should not do, even before the meeting begins—preparation is
51．the first step. Before starting any negotiation calculating the goals is more essential,
52．including what you are and what you are not prepared to compromise and be flexible on.

"It used to be that after we cleared out a city, there were not enough qualified Iraqi troops to maintain control. And so what would happen is the terrorists would wait for us to leave and they would try to move back in, and sometimes with success. Now the increasing number of more capable Iraqi troops allows us to hold onto the cities we have taken from the terrorists."
President Bush also said Iraqi forces are taking a larger role in many military operations in the country. He said the operation now ending to gain control of the northwestern city of Najaf was the first to involve more Iraqi troops than foreign forces. And he reported that coalition and Iraqi efforts will shift to the west to secure the large, sparsely-populated Province of Al-Anbar. The president said Iraqi forces will take control there.
Who did President Bush meet with？
A．Defense Secretary
B．Secretary of State
C．US Midwest Army Commander
D．US Chief of Staff

Sustainable Development of Agriculture
Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.
To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients(营养成分) captured in the product it was relatively inefficient.
Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safer and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat (栖息地)loss and to diminishing biodiversity.
What's more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050. Yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions.
All this means that agriculture in the 21s tcentury will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th. This will require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be "zero impact". The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.
Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons (正反两方面) of all the various way land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental costs, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.
What is crucial is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production.
How do people often measure progress in agriculture？
A．By its productivity.
B．By its sustainability.
C．By its impact on the environment.
D．By its contribution to economic growth.

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！
Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact that there has been some remarkable progress over the past five years—real changes in the attitude of ordinary people in the Third World toward family size and a dawning realisation that environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately，and inversely，linked．Almost none of this，however, has anything to do with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio．
Or it didn't accomplish．One item on the agenda at Rio，for example，was a renewed effort to save tropical forests．(A previous UN-sponsored initiative had fallen apart when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation．)After Rio，a UN working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have so far gone nowhere．One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunizing wood-exporting nations against trade sanctions．
An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases has fared even worse．Blocked by the Bush Administration from setting mandatory limits，the UN in 1992 called on nations to voluntarily reduce emissions to 1990 levels．Several years later，it's as if Rio had never happened．A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyoto，Japan，but governments still cannot agree on these limits．Meanwhile，the U.S. produces 7% more CO2 than it did in 1990，and emissions in the developing world have risen even more sharply．No one would confuse the“Rio process”with progress．
While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impatient，people have acted．Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected，not because of Rio but because poor people are deciding on their own to reduce family size．Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor．From slum dwellers in Karachi，Pakistan，to colonists in Rondonia，Brazil，urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realize that they pay the biggest price for pollution and deforestation．There is cause for hope as well in the growing recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interest to fight environmental reforms．John Browne，chief executive of British Petroleum，boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could no longer be ignored．
The writer's general attitude towards the world leaders meeting at the UN is______．
A．supportive
B．impartial
C．critical
D．comedic
