24、n suggest?,Passage 1,Many parents are too busy working to talk to their children or set an example for them, even if they live in the same house. As a result, there is a generation of children whose main contact with the adult world is through their teachers or through television. Teachers have too
25、much work. They have little influence over the children they teach. Whereas in the past childrens role models might have been their parents or teachers, now their role models are the violent characters they see on television or in their video games.,Television and video games are full of very direct
26、 violence and killing, and children are left at home for much of the day to cope with it alone. This must have an effect on their mental development. Why are so many young people anti-social? Because they have already been abandoned by their families, who are too busy to have time for them. There is
27、 a steady increase in the rate of juvenile crime. Many young criminals miss the love of their families; they are lonely, or they feel that the world is not treating them as they deserve. They have tried to gain attention by committing crimes.,Finally, when the police call their parents to the police
28、 station to tell them of their childs wrong-doing, the parents break down in tears, and ask what they did wrong. They believe that they gave their child everything.

29、s now? 17. Why do many children commit crimes? 18. What lesson could parents learn from the passage?,Passage 2,Going global is not as simple as it looks. Case studies show that there are three major practical barriers for any company going global.Firstly, cultural differences. When trying to work in
30、 any new market it is essential to take into account the culture of the people you will be working with. What may work in one market may be totally inappropriate for another. Food products are a good example. A British steak and kidney pie, for example, would look the kind of food given to dogs to e
31、at in north America.,Secondly, trade restrictions. While the EU and, to a certain extent, NAFTA, have opened up the possibilities of international trade, many complex restrictions still remain. “I wanted to export cheese,” says Dave Stallybrass, who produces the traditional Blue Stilton variety of c
32、heese on the UK. “I had no problem in Europe, but there was trouble in the USA.”Thirdly, technology. It seems strange to name “technology” as a barrier of globalization, as it is the Internet above all which has given rise to the widespread assumption that going global is an easy thing to do.,All yo
33、u need to do is set up a website with an online ordering facility, and then everythings just going to happen, isnt it? Not exactly. Even though people may be able to order your products with just one click, it doesnt mean they will necessarily arrive. Moreover, many people in the world still prefer
34、to buy things in shops instead of online. 19. What should a company consider when working in a new market? 20. Why cant Dave Stallybrass export his cheese to USA? 21. What makes people assume that going global is easy?,Passage 3,When I was at university I did a business course that covered advertisi
35、ng, marketing, sales and public relations. This course gave me an overview of business in general and the different careers in communications. While I was studying I joined a couple of organizations. Through one of the organizations I was able to meet experienced professionals who gave me advice on
36、getting into the industry. The best thing was that I was offered an internship in my final year.I think that its extremely important to do an internship to get a foot in the door and have more on your resume than simply your studies. My internship also meant that I built up a list of contacts in the
37、 media and PR industry itself. Both areas were very important in helping me get my first job as an Account Coordinator with a corporate public relations agency.,I had to write and proofread flyers, keep track of media databases and other administrations type stuff. It gave me a better insight into P
38、R. I didnt have much journalism experience so I learnt that as I went along. If I had to start again Id choose to do a journalism option at university as employers like you to have a journalism background.Nine mouths later, I got the new job, as an Account Executive with more responsibility. I have
39、much more contact with our clients and I play a large role in developing public-relation strategies. I still do a lot of writing with press releases but Im also more involved in organizing special events like press conference.,22. What was the best thing in the speakers final university year? 23. Wh
