It stands to reason that American publishing must also be primed to 5 the cultural bounty of a vast world literature, quickly and competently translated into t

Of all the books translated worldwide, only 6% - and that is considered to be a 8 estimate - are translated from foreign languages into English. By 9 , almost 50% are tr

In a typical week, at least half of the top-10 bestsellers on A in France and Germany are books in 10 ; on the U.S site, a recent scan showed not a 11 foreign name on an extended list of 24 top sellers.

9、glish is, in practical terms, the most important language in the world today, and whether imperialism is 21 or not, that reality has a certain effect on American publishing. Still, many target a less pragmatic, more culture-specific kind of solipsism. “America is just frighteningly different from th

20、angeably, even though they had similar implications. (41) However, they have quite distinctive meanings. Bonding actually refers to the parents tie to the infant and thought to (42) occur in the first hours or days of life. Attachment, in contrast, refers to the relationship between infants and prim

There isno so implication in the term attachment. As with any vital (44) relationship, there can be no attachment. Rat

In fact, newborn infants are not yet capable of attachment, since they have little ability to distinguish one person from another and no concept

Because attachment refers to a relationship and not simply an experience of the parent, it is inappropriate to say that an attachment relationship has formed until the second half year. Even then the relationship is not fully formed or fixed. It continues to evolve toward what

32、 Reading Comprehension 阅读理解（30题，每题2分，共60分）Text A When Denis Hennequin took over as the European boss of McDonalds in January 2004, the worlds biggest restaurant chain was showing signs of recovery in America and Australia, but sales in Europe were sluggish or declining. One exception was France, whe
33、re Mr Hennequin had done a sterling job as head of the groups French subsidiary to sell more Big Macs to his compatriots. His task was to replicate this success in all 41 of the European countries where anti-globalisers favourite enemy operates.So far Mr Hennequin is doing well. Last year European s
34、ales increased by 5.8% and the number of customers by 3.4%, the best annual results in nearly 15 years. Europe accounted for 36% of the groups profits and for 28% of its sales. December was an especially good month as customers took to seasonal menu offerings in France and Britain, and to a promotio
35、n in Germany based on the game of Monopoly.Mr Hennequins recipe for revival is to be more open about his companys operations, to be “locally relevant”, and to improve the experience of visiting his 6,400 restaurants. McDonalds is blamed for making people fat, exploiting workers, treating animals cru
36、elly, polluting the environment and simply for being American. Mr Hennequin says he wants to engage in a dialogue with the public to address these concerns.He introduced “open door” visitor days in each country which became hugely popular. In Poland alone some 50,000 visitors came to McDonalds throu
37、gh the visitors programme last year. The Nutrition Information Initiative, launched last year, put detailed labels on McDonalds packaging with data on calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and salt content. The details are also printed on tray-liners.Mr Hennequin also wants people to know that “McJo
38、bs”, the low-paid menial jobs at McDonalds restaurants, are much better than people think. But some of his efforts have backfired: last year he sparked a controversy with the introduction of a “McPassport” that allows McDonalds employees to work anywhere in the European Union. Politicians accused th
39、e firm of a ploy to make cheap labour from eastern Europe more easily available to McDonalds managers across the continent.To stay in touch with local needs and preferences, McDonalds employs local bosses as much as possible. A Russian is running McDonalds in Russia, though a Serb is in charge of Ge
40、rmany. The group buys mainly from local suppliers. Four-fifths of its supplies in France come from local farmers, for example. (Some of the French farmers who campaigned against the company in the late 1990s subsequently discovered that it was, in fact, buying their produce.) And it hires celebritie
41、s such as Heidi Klum, a German model, as local brand ambassadors.In his previous job Mr Hennequin established a “design studio” in France to spruce up his companys drab restaurants and adapt the interior to local tastes. The studio is now masterminding improvements everywhere in Europe. He also set
42、up a “food studio”, where cooks devise new recipes in response to local trends.Given Frances reputation as the most anti-American country in Europe, it seems odd that McDonalds revival in Europe is being led by a Frenchman, using ideas cooked up in the French market. But France is in fact the compan
43、ys most profitable market after America. The market where McDonalds is weakest in Europe is not France, but Britain.“Fixing Britain should be his priority,” says David Palmer, a restaurant analyst at UBS. Almost two-thirds of the 1,214 McDonalds restaurants in Britain are company-owned, compared wit
44、h 40% in Europe and 15% in America. The company suffers from the volatility of sales at its own restaurants, but can rely on steady income from franchisees. So it should sell as many underperforming outlets as possible, says Mr Palmer.M.Mark Wiltamuth, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, estimates that Eu
45、ropean company-owned restaurants margins will increase slightly to 16.4% in 2007. This is still less than in the late 1990s and below Americas 18-19% today. But it is much better than before Mr Hennequins reign. He is already being tipped as the first European candidate for the groups top job in Ill
46、inois. Nobody would call that a McJob.61. The word “sterling” in line 3 of Paragraph A means_.A. difficultB. menialC. terribleD. excellent62. Which of the following statements on the accusation of MacDonald is NOT TRUE?A. It tends to make people fat.B. Its operations are very vague.C. It tends to exploit workers.D.
