The governor has strong ties to China：He lived in Taiwan when he was a teenager and speaks fluent Chinese．One of his daughters was adopted from China．His family also has business ties with China through Huntsman Corp，a chemical company．It has operations(动作)in the country including a factory in Shanghai．
Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise(称赞)in both countries．

Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．“I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．”Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．“I’m working harder than ever，”David says，“and I need to feel comfortable．”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States．The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday)．This became known as“dress—down Friday”0f“casual Friday”．“What started out as an extra one—day—a—week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．”said business consultant Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code．“A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work，”says the owner of a software company，“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code．”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company，85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale．Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity．Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money．“Suits are expensive，if you have to wear one every day，”one person said．“For the same a—mount of money，you can buy a lot more casual clothes．”

C
The French submarine is called Le Triomphant, meaning“the winner”．The name of the British submarine is Vanguard，meaning“the leading position in an army”．It’s clear from the submarines’names that they were made for victory．
However，it was an accident，rather than a victory，that led these two submarines to recently make news headlines across the world．
On February 16，Britain and France admitted that two of their nuclear—armed submarines，HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant，collided while deep in the Atlantic in early February．Both submarines were on secret patrols(巡逻)and carrying nuclear arms when they collided．
Le Triomphant had no idea that it had run into HMS Vanguard until several days later．The French navy at first believed that Le Triomphant had hit an“object，probably a container(集装箱)”．
Investigations have begun to work out how such a collision could have happened．Both submarines are equipped with state-of～the—art(最先进的)technology that is supposed to find other submarines．Yet，neither submarine saw the other until it was too late．
One idea being considered was that their anti-sonar(抗声纳)equipment，which hides submarines，was just too effective in hiding one from the other．
Submarines use sonar to sense what is in the sea near them．Sonar is a submarine’s ear．Many sea animals use sonar as well．Dolphins produce high-pitched(声调高的)clicks．when these clicks hit an object，some of the sound will echo(发出回声)back to the“sender”．By listening to the echo and working out the time it took before the echo came back，the dolphin can work out how far away the object is．
There are two kinds of sonar：active sonar，which sends out signals，and passive sonar，which listens for signals with extremely sensitive microphones．
The two submarines were designed to be very quiet and as hidden as possible．because a submarine’s job description(工作职责)is not to be found．Many modern submarines do not use active sonar，only passive sonar．This makes it very difficult for a submarine to“hear”if another submarine is near．
Britain’s Ministry of Defense(国防部) has said the collision did not lead to any radioactive leaks(放射物泄漏)．The chance of a full nuclear explosion was almost impossible．However，experts say that if the walls of the submarines had broken，or a fire had been started，there could have been a major disaster．
A senior British Navy source told The Sun newspaper that the possible consequences of such a collision were“unthinkable”．
“It’s very unlikely there would have been a nuclear explosion．But a radioactive leak was a possibilitv．That would have been a national disaster．”he said．
64、What has made HMS Vanguard and Le Triomphant well known recently?
A、l heir names carried very positive meanings．．
B、They collided in the Atlantic this February．
C、They are both equipped with advanced technology．
D、They are both nuclear—armed submarines．
65、What’s the probable reason for the accident?
A、The two submarines were moving at a high speed．
B、Their anti—sonar equipment was too effective．
C、They were not equipped with active sonar．．
D、The submarines were designed to be too quiet．
66、Which of the following is the right order in which the dolphin senses the object’s position?
a、The sound hitting the object．
b、Producing high—pitched sound．
c、The sound echoing back．
d、Working out the time to come back．
e、Receiving the sound．
A、b一a—c—d—e   B、d—a—e—c—b   C、b—c—d—a—e   D、b—a—c—e—d
67、Which of the following is NOT true about the passage?
A、Both of the submarines carried nuclear arms when they collided．
B、Many modern submarines do not use passive sonar so as to be as hidden as possible．
C、The collision may have caused a disaster if a fire had been started．
D、There would have been a nuclear explosion if the two submarines had collided harder．
