If you think life is wonderful and expect it to stay that way,then you may have a good chanceof living to a ripe old age,at least that is what the findings of a new study suggest.That study found that participants who reported the highest levels of optimism were far more likely to live to age 85 or  26  .This was compared to those participants who reported the lowest levels of optimism.It is  27  that the findings held even after the researchers considered factors that could  28  the link,including whether participants had health conditions such as heart disease or cancer,or whether they experienced depression.The results add to a growing body of evidence that certain psychological factors may predict a longer life  29  .For example,previous studies have found that more optimistic people have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases,and a lower riskof  30  death.However,the new study appears to be the first to  31  look at the relationship between optimism and longevity.The researchers  32  that the link found in the new study was not as strong when they factored in the effects of certain health behaviors,including exercise levels,sleep habits and diet.This suggests that these behaviors may,at least in part,explain the link.In otherwords,optimism may  33  good habitsthat bolster health.It is also important tonote that the study found only a  34  ,as researchers did not prove for certain that optimism leads to a longer life.However, if the findings are true,they suggest that optimism could serve as a psychological  35  that promotes health and a longer life.

No one in fashion is surprised that Burberry burnt £28 million of stock

A)Last week,Burberry's annual reportrevealed that £28.6 million worth of stock was burnt last year.The news has left investors and consumers outraged but comes as little surprise to those in the fashion industry.

B)The practice of destroying unsold stock,and even rolls of unused fabric,is commonplace for luxury labels.Becoming too widely available at a cheaper price through discount stores discourages full-price sales.Sending products for recycling leaves them vulnerable to being stolen and sold on the black market.Jasmine Bina, CEO of brand strategy agency Concept Bureau explains,“Typically,luxury brands rally around exclusivity to protect their business interests,namely intellectual property and preservation ofbrand equity(资产).”She stated she had heard rumors of stock burning but not specific cases until this week.

C)Another reason for the commonplace practice is a financial incentive for brands exporting goods to America.United States Customs states that if imported merchandise is unused and destroyed under their supervision,99% of the duties, taxes or fees paid on the merchandise may be recovered.It is incredibly difficult to calculate how much deadstock currently goes to waste.While there are incentives to do it,there's no legal  obligation to report it.

D)A source,who chose to remain anonymous,shared her experience working in a Burberry store in New York in October 2016.“My job was to toss items in boxes so they could be sent to beburned.It was killing me inside because all that leather and fur went to waste andanimals had died for nothing.I couldn't stay there any longer their business practices threw me off the roof”In May this year,Burberry announced it was taking fur out of its catwalk shows and reviewing its use elsewhere in the business.“Even though weasked the management,they refused to give us detailed answers as to why they would do this with their collection,”continued the source, who left her role within two weeks.She has since worked with another high-profile,luxury label.

E)In anonline forum post,which asked if it's true that Louis Vuitton burned its bags, Ahmed Bouchfaa,who claimed to work for Louis Vuitton,responded that the brand holds sales of old stock for staff members twice a year.Items which have still not sold after several sales are destroyed.“Louis Vuitton doesn't have public sales.They either sell a product at a given price or discontinue it.This isto make sure that everybody pays the same price for an item,"he says.He goes on to disclose the strict guidelines around the employee sales:“You may buy gifts for someone,but they track each item, and if your gift ends up online they know who to ask.”One investor commenting on the Burberry figures was reportedly outraged that the unsold goods were not even offered to investors before they were destroyed.

F)Richemont,who owns several luxury brands,hit the headlines in May for taking back £437 million of watches for destruction in the last two years to avoid marked-down prices.It's not just luxury brands either.In October last year,a Danish TV show exposed H&M for burning 12 tonnes of unsold clothing since 2013.In a statement,the high street retailer defended itself by saying that the burnt clothing had failed safety tests:“The products to which the media are referring have been tested in external laboratories.The test results show that one of the products is mold infested and the other product contains levels of lead that are too high.Those products have rightly been stopped in accordance with our safety routines.”In March,a report revealed that H&M was struggling with $4.3 billion worth of unsold stock.The brand told The New York Times that the plan was to reduce prices to move the stock, arguably encouraging consumersto buy and throwaway with little thought.

G)Over-production is perhaps the biggest concern for Burberry.While there has been much outrage at the elitist connotation of burning goods rather than making them affordable,executives at the British fashion house are no doubt struggling to defend how they miscalculated production.The waste has been put down to burning old cosmetic stock to make way for their new beauty range.However,while the value of destroyed stock is up from £26.9 million last year,it's an even more significant increase from 2016's figure of £18.8 million,highlighting that this is an ongoing issue.

H)In September 2016,Burberry switched to a “see now,buy now”catwalk show format.The move was a switch to leverage on the coveage of their fashion week show to make stock available immediately to consumers.This is opposed to the traditional format of presenting to the industry,taking orders for production and becoming avaiable in six months,time.While Burberry announced “record-breaking”onlinereach and engagement,there hasbeen littleevidence to suggest that the strategy has had a significant effect on sales,particularly as the hype(炒作)slows across the season.In February they made adjustments to the format,dropping some catwalk items immediately and promising that others would launch in the coming months.

I)In a statement,Burberry denied that switching to “see now,buy now”has had an impact on waste.A Burberry spokesperson further said,“On the occasions when disposal of products is necessary,we do so in a responsible manner.Weare always seeking ways to reduce and revalue our waste.This is a core part of our strategy and we have forged partnerships and committed support to innovative organizations to help reach this goal.”

J)One such partnership is with Elvis & Kresse,an accessories brand working with reclaimed materials.Co-founder Kresse Wesling said,“Late last year we launched an ambiious five-year partnership with the Burberry Foundation.The main aim of this is to scale our leather rescue project,starting with off-cuts from the production of Burberry leather goods.We areworking tirelessly to expand our solutions and would love to welcome anyone to our workshop to come and see what we are doing.”At the moment,the partnership only addresses waste at the production stage and not unsold goods.

K)While these are honorable schemes,itmakes it harder for Burberry to defend these latest figures.Fifteen years ago,Burberry was at crisispoint as their signature check pattern was widely imitated by cheap,imitation brands.It deterred luxury consumers who found their expensive clothing more closely associated with working-class youth culture than a prestigious heritage fashion house.In the year 2004,at the height of over-exposure of the Burberry check,the brand's turnover was £715.5 million.Under Christopher Bailey as creative director they turned the brand around and this past year revenue hit £2.73 billion.

L)Bina believes that brands need to readdress their exclusivity tactic.“Exclusivity is starting to be challenged,”she says,“I think that goes hand in hand with how luxury itself is being challenged.Access to fashion,and the brands who police it, are becoming less and less relevant.Things like health,enlightenment,and social and environmental responsibility are the new luxuries.These all come from within, not without.That's the challenge that traditional luxury brandswill have tocontend with inthe mid-to long-term future.”

36.Burberry's executives are trying hard to attribute their practice of destroying old productsto miscalculated production.

37.Selling products at a discount will do greater harm to luxury brands than destroying them.

38.Imitated Burberry products discouraged luxury consumers from buying its genuine products.

39.Staff members of a luxury brand may buy its old stock at cheaper prices,but they are not allowed to resell them.

40.In future traditional luxury brands will have to adapt their business strategies to the changing concepts  of luxury.

41.One luxury brand employee quit her job because she simply couldn't bear to see the destruction of unsold  products.

42.Destroying old stock is a practice not justof luxury brands but of less prestigious fashion brands.

43.Burberry is working with a partner to makefull use of leather materials to reduce waste.

44.Burberry's plan to destroy its unsold products worth millions of dollars aroused public indignation.

45.Burberry's change of marketing strategy to make a product available as soon as consumers see it on the fashion show did not turn out to be as effective as expected.

Section C

Directions: Thereare 2 passages in this section.Each passageis followed by some questions or umfinished  statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 arebased on the following passage.

Social media is absolutely everywhere.Billions of people use social media ona daily basis to create,share,and exchange ideas,messages,and information.Both individuals and businesses post regularly to engage and interact with people from around the world.It is a powerful communication medium that simultaneously provides immediate,frequent, permanent,and wide-reaching information acrossthe globe.

People post their lives on social media for the world to see.Facebook,Twitter, Linkedln,and countless other social channels provide a quick and simple way to glimpse into a job candidate's personal life—both the positive and negative sides of it.Social media screening is tempting to use as part ofthe hiring process,butshould employers makeuse of it when researching a potential candidate's background?

Incorporating the use of social media to screen job candidates is not an uncommon practice.A 2018 survey found that almost 70% of employers use social media to screen candidatesbefore hiring them.But there are consequences and potential legal risks involved too.When done inappropriately,social media screening can be considered  Unethical or even illegal.

Social media screening is essentially scrutinising a job candidate's private life.It can reveal information about protected characteristics like age,race,nationality,disability gender,religion,etc.,and that could bias a hiring decision.Pictures or comments on a private page that are taken out of context could ruin a perfectly good candidate's chances of getting hired.This process could potentially give an unfair advantage to one candidate over another.It creates an unequal playing field and potentially provides hiring managers with information thatcan impact their hiring decision in a negative way

It's hard to ignore social media as a screening tool.While thereare things that you shouldn't see,there are some things that can be lawfully considered—making it a valuable source of relevant information too.Using social media screening appropriately can help ensure that you don't hire a toxic employee who will cost you money or stain your company'sreputation.Consider the lawful side ofthisprocess and you may be able to hire the best employee ever.There is a delicate balance.

Screening job candidates on social media must be done professionally and responsibly. Companiesshould stipulate that they will never ask for passwords,be consistent,document decisions,consider the source used and be aware that other laws may apply.In light ofthis it is probably best to look later in the process and ask human resources for help in navigating it.Socal media is here to stay.But before using social media to screen job candidates,consulting with management and legal teamsbeforehand is essential in order to comply with all laws.

46.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

A)The advantage of using social media in screening job candidates.

B)Thepotentially invasive nature of social media in everyday life. 

C)Whetherthe benefits of social media outweigh the drawbacks.

D)Whether social media should be used to screen job candidates.

47.What might happen when social media is used to screen job candidates?

A)Moral orlegal issues might arise.

B)Company reputation might suffer.

C)Sensational information might surface.

D)Hiring decisions might be complicated.

48.When could online personal information be detrimental to candidates?

A)When it is separated from context.

B)When it is scrutinised by an employer.

C)When it is magnified to a ruinous degree.

D)When it is revealed to the human resources.

49.How can employers use social media information to their advantage while avoiding unnecessaryrisks?

A)By tipping the delicate balance.

B)By using it in a legitimate way.

C)By keeping personal information on record.

D)By separating relevant from irrelevant data.

50.Whatdoes the author suggest doing before screening job candidates on socialmedia?

A)Hiring professionals to navigate the whole process.

B)Anticipating potential risks involved in the process. 

C)Seeking advice from management and legal experts. 

D)Stipulating a set of rules for asking specific questions.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

In recent years,the food industry has increased its use of labels.Whether the labels say‘non-GMO(非转基因的)’or‘no sugar’,or‘zero carbohydrates',consumers are increasingly demanding more information about what's in their food.One report found that 39 percent of consumers would switch from the brands they currently buy to others that provide clearer,more accurate product information.Food manufacturers are responding to the report with new labels to meet that demand,and they're doingso with an eye towards giving their products an advantage over the competition,and bolstering profits.

This strategy makes intuitive sense.If consumers say they want transparency,tell them exactly what is in your product.That is simply supplying a certain demand.But the marketing strategy inresponse to this consumer demand has gone beyond articulating what is in a product,to labeling what is NOT in the food.These labels are known as“absence claims”labels,and they represent an emerging labeling trend that isdetrimental both to the consumers who purchase the products and the industry that supplies them.

For example,Hunt's put a “non-GMO”label on its canned crushed tomatoes a few years ago—despite the fact that at the time there was nosuch thing as a GMOtomato on the market.Some dairy companies are using the “non-GMO”label on their milk,despite the fact that all milk isnaturally GMO-free,another label that creates unnecessary fear around food.

While creating labels that play onconsumer fears and misconceptions abouttheir food may give a company a temporary marketing advantage over competing products on the grocery aisle,in the long term this strategy will have just the opposite effect:by injecting fear into the discourseabout our food,we run the risk of eroding consumer trust in not just a single product,but the entire food business.

Eventually,it becomes a question in consumers,minds:Were these foods ever safe? By purchasing and consuming these types of products,have I already done some kind of harmtomy family or the planet?

For food manufacturers,it will mean damaged consumer trust and lower sales for everyone.And this isn't just supposition.A recent study found that absence claims labels can create a stigma around foods even when there  is no scientific evidence that they cause harm.

It's clear that food manufacturers must tread carefully when it comes to usingabsence claims.In addition to the likely negative long-term impact on sales,this verbal trick sends a message that innovations in farming and food processing are unwelcome,eventualy leading to less efficiency,fewer choices for consumers,and ultimately,more costly food products.If weallow this kind of labeling to continue,we will all lose.

51.What trend has been observed in a report?

A)Food manufacturers,rising awareness of product safety.

B)Food manufacturers,changing strategiesto bolster profits.

C)Consumers,growing demand for eye-catching food labels.

D)Consumers,increasing desire for clear product information.

52.Whatdoes the author say is manufacturers new marketing strategy? 

A)Stressing the absence of certain elementsin their products.

B)Articulating the unique nutritional value of their products.

C)Supplying detailed information of their products.

D)Designing transparent labels for their products.

53.What point does the author make about non-GMO labels? 

A)They are increasingly attracting customers'attention.

B)They create los of trouble for GMO food producers.

C)They should be usedmore for vegetables and milk.

D)They cause anxiety about food among consumers.

54.What does the author say absence claims labels will do to food manufacturers?

A)Cause changes in theirmarketing strategies. 

B)Help remove stigma around their products.

C)Erode consumer trust and reduce sales. 

D)Decrease support from food scientists.

55.What does the author suggest food manufactures do? 

A)Take measures to lower the cost of food products.

B)Exercise caution about the use of absence claims.

C)Welcome new innovations in food processing

D)Promote efficiency andincrease food variety.
