In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrat

ors as the Vrain School District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. "We're worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don't want to lose them because of this," one parent said, "If we can help ease their financial burden, we will."

Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it's impossible for them to solve this problem.

The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. "It's extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.

Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $ 9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.

District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts in its 38 schools.

At Coffman's request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district's finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $ 212 million bond issue for schools.

In Frederick, students' parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.

Some $ 36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district's $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.

"We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected."

At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). "Rumors about what's happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead."

What has happened to the Vrain School District？

A．A huge financial problem has arisen.

B．Many schools there are mismanaged.

C．Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.

D．Many administrative personnel have been laid off.

第8题

Studies show that the world in 2010 will be more crowded，more polluted and less stable e

cologically(在生态方面)than the world we live in now.Visible ahead is serious stress involving population，resources and environment.Despite greater food output，people in the world will be poorer in many ways than they are today.For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor，the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better.For many it will be worse.While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than those of the industrialized nations，the total national product per head in most less developed countries remains low.The existing gap between the rich and poor nations will further widen.World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2010.Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption(消费).Meanwhile，per-head consumption of food in the developing countries will scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level.What is worse is prices for food are expected to double.As a result，many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs.For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel，the outlook is not hopeful.Regional water shortage will become more severe.In the 1970-2010 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world.Still greater increases would be needed to improve standards of living.Development of new water supplies will become more costly.

第9题

When companies do business overseas, they come in contact with people from different cultu

res. These individuals often speak a different language and have their own particular custom and manners. These differences can create problems.

For example, in France, business meetings begin promptly at the designated time and everyone is expected to be there. Foreign business people who are tardy are often left outside to cool their heels as a means of letting them know the importance of promptness. Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations.

A second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions. For example, if a transaction is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles. Of course, this currency is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore, necessary to convert the foreign currency to American dollars. How much are these Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars？ This conversion rate is determined by every market, where the currencies of countries are bought and sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it will often fluctuate from day to day. For example, the ruble may be worth '0.75 on Monday and '0.72 on Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia. In addition, there is the dilemma associated with converting at '0.72. Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week. As a result, conversion may finally come at '0.69. These "losses" must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas.

A third unique problem is trade barriers. For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained. Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict import. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs.

The best title for the passage would be ______.

A．How to Succeed in International Trade

B．Monetary Conversion

C．Trade Barriers

D．Unique Problems in International Trade
