Mahmood is a junior employee of Tzo Company (a large, listed company). Tzo is a processor of food labelled as containing only high quality meat. The company enjoys the trust and confidence of its customers because of its reputation for high quality products. One day, when passing through one area of the plant, Mahmood noticed some inferior meat being mixed with the normal product. He felt this must be unauthorised so he informed his supervisor, the factory manager, who told Mahmood that this was in fact a necessary cost reduction measure because company profits had been declining in recent months. Mahmood later found out that all stages of the production process, from purchasing to final quality control, were adapted in order to make the use of the inferior meat possible.
The factory manager told Mahmood that the inferior meat was safe for humans to eat and its use was not illegal. However, he told Mahmood that if knowledge of the use of this meat was made public, it would mean that customers might stop buying the products. Many jobs could be lost, probably including Mahmood’s own. The factory manager ordered Mahmood to say nothing about the inferior meat and to conduct his job as normal. Mahmood later discovered that the main board of Tzo was aware of the use of the inferior meat and supported its use in seeking to reduce costs and maintain profits. In covering up the use of the inferior meat, the factory produced a fraudulent quality control report to show that the product was purely based on high quality meat when the company knew that this was not so.
When Mahmood heard this, he was very angry and considered telling an external source, such as the local newspaper, about what he had seen and about how the company was being dishonest with its customers.
Required:
(a) Explain how Mahmood might act, in each case, if he were to adopt either conventional or post-conventional ethical assumptions according to Kohlberg’s definitions of these terms. Your answer should include an explanation of these two terms. (8 marks)
(b) Construct an ethical case for Mahmood to take this matter directly to an external source such as a newspaper. (8 marks)
(c) Some jurisdictions have a compulsory regulatory requirement for an auditor-reviewed external report on the operation and effectiveness of internal controls (such as s.404 of Sarbanes Oxley).
Required:
Explain how such a requirement may have helped to prevent the undisclosed use of the inferior meat at Tzo Company. (9 marks)

Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide nemcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or our broken immigrantion system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strick definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.
Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas .They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them , They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.
With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.
Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle .Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
“Birds of passage” refers to those who____ .
A.immigrate across the Atlantic.
B.leave their home countries for good.

C.opportunities to get regular jobs.
D.the freedom to stay and leave.
The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated ____ .A.as faithful partners.
B.with economic favors.
C.with regal tolerance.
D.as mighty rivals.
Select the title that is most suitable for the articleA.come and go: big mistake.
B.living and thriving : great risk.
C.with or without : great risk.
D.legal or illegal: big mistake.

Apart from choosing a partner for life and hopefully having a family of ones own,perhaps the most important decision that one takes in life concerns the choice of a career.It is a good idea if young people realise that there is a big difference between a career and ajob. A job can mean anything from doing the washing up in a restaurant during the univer-sity vacation to working ina corner shop. It may be that a particular job lasts for years,but unless it involves some aspect of special training leading to qualifications, it remains a job and not a career, There are of. course. exceptions to this generalisation For example.many pop singers are self-trained, but the suecessful ones think of their development astheir career.
Of course. it has to be said that certain careers require fairly low level qualifications before a person can enter a training programme or gain experience on the job, In Britain,being a policeman or a nurse only requires a person to have the basic school leaving certificate of four or five GCSEs. Unfortunately, with the same kind of qualifications, a police -man can earn a quite reasonable salary, while,ordinary nurses are among the worst paid professionals of that society. Of course, certain careers take years of training for example, if one wants to become an accountant,a doctor or a lawyer. Even senior teachers, particularly those working in universities. may be in full-time educational training for eight years.
It is essential that young people choose their career carefully. It is no good wanting to he a doctor if one cannot stand the sighi of blood! It is pointless considering the teaching profession if one doctors not like young people. Some people even have the most peruliar And unrealistic ideas of what they want to do. Take for example the case of a young man who rang up a radio programme about careers recently and said he wanted advice on how to become a lion tamer! It is very likely that lion tamers (and there are not that many around) start working with animals at a very early age. They are probably born into a show business family. The young man on the radio, on the other hand, did not even seem to like cats.
What other two choices are important in life apart from a career？
A.Choosing a partner for life and doing the washing up in a restaurant.
B.Choosing a partner for life and working in a corner shop.
C.Choosing a partner for life and hopefully havinK a family of one’s own.
D.Taking a job and having a family of one’s own.
Which of these definitions of "generalisation" is suitable？A.An unspecific statement.
B.The main poim of an argument.
C.One idea leading on to another.
D.A detailed statement.
What does it require in Britain to be b policeman or a nurse？A.A training programme
B.The basic school leaving certificate of four or five GCSEs
C.Gain experience on the job
D.Special training leading to qualifications
For the following careers, which doesn’t take years of training？A.A fireman.
B.An accountant.
C.A senior teacher.

第5题
One day when I was about twelve years old, it occurred to me to wonder about the phenomenon of laughter. At first I thought it is easy enough to see what I laugh at and why I am amused, but why at such times do I open my mouth and exhale in jerking gasps and wrinkle up my eyes and throw back my head and halloo like an animal？ Why do I not instead rap four times on the top of my head or whistle or whirl about？
That was over twenty years ago and I am still wondering, except that I now no longer even take my first assumption for granted, I no longer clearly understand why I laugh at what amuses me nor why things are amusing. I have illustrious company in my confusion, of course, Many of the great minds of history have brought their power of concentration to bear on the mystery of humour, and, to date, their conclusions are so contradictory and ephemeral that they cannot possibly be classified as scientific.
Many definitions of the comic are incomplete and many are simply rewording of things we already know. Aristotle, for example, defined the ridiculous as that which is incongruous but represents neither **er nor pain. But that seems to me to be a most inadequate sort of observation, for of at this minute I insert here the word rutabagas, I have introduced something in congruous, something not funny. Of course, it must be admitted that Aristotle did not claim that every painless in congruity is ridiculous but as soon as we have gone as far as this admission, we begin to see that we have come to grips with a ghost when we think have it pinned, it suddenly appears behind us, mocking us.
An all-embracing definition of humour has been attempted by many philosophers, but no definition, no formula had ever been devised that is entirely satisfactory. Aristotle's definition has come to be known loosely as the "disappointment" theory, or the "frustrated expectation", but he also, discussed another theory borrowed in part from Plato which states that the pleasure we derive in laughing is an enjoyment of the misfortune of others, due to a momentary feeling of superiority or gratified vanity in appreciation of the fact that we ourselves are not in the observed predicament.
第36题：Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph？
[A] People don't like to be considered as one with no sense of humour.
[B] People will give you a satisfactory answer to what humour is.
[C] People would like to be a liar or a coward.
[D] People can make light of other's comment on their sense of humour.
