P 142 Passage 1

• Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to help secure America’s energy future ? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth. With the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.

P 142 Passage 1

• The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion dollar windfall in tax revenues, royalties and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.

P 142 Passage 1

• Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems.

• A)It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves. B)It will help secure the future of ANWR. C)It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports. D)It will increase America’s energy consumption.

• A)believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields B)tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oil C)shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR D)expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia

P 142 Passage 1

• 3. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that. •

A)it can cause serious damage to the environment B)it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems C)it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region D)it will not have much commercial value

P 142 Passage 1

• 4. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para.3)?

• A)Oil exploitation takes a long time. B)The oil drilling should be delayed. C)Don’t be too optimistic. D)Don’t expect fast returns.

P 142 Passage 1

Para. 1• In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding

as they’ ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion ； this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, Let’s be nicer,” says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. “Nothing happens without competition.”

Privatization, or the threat of it is a motivation as well.

When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates. Says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.”
