near to its old stadium, opinion was divided. Many of the club’s fans thought it a good idea because it would be more
comfortable for them when watching games. A number of problems arose, however, when it was pointed out that the
construction of the new stadium and its car parking would have a number of local implications. The local government
authority said that building the stadium would involve diverting roads and changing local traffic flow, but that it would
grant permission to build the stadium if those issues could be successfully addressed. A number of nearby residents
complained that the new stadium would be too near their homes and that it would destroy the view from their gardens.
Helen Yusri, who spoke on behalf of the local residents, said that the residents would fight the planning application
through legal means if necessary. A nearby local inner-city wildlife reservation centre said that the stadium’s
construction might impact on local water levels and therefore upset the delicate balance of animals and plants in the
wildlife centre. A local school, whose pupils often visited the wildlife centre, joined in the opposition, saying that whilst
the school supported the building of a new stadium in principle, it had concerns about disruption to the wildlife centre.
The football club’s board was alarmed by the opposition to its planned new stadium as it had assumed that it would
be welcomed because the club had always considered itself a part of the local community. The club chairman said
that he wanted to maintain good relations with all local people if possible, but at the same time he owed it to the fans
and the club’s investors to proceed with the building of the new stadium despite local concerns.
Required:
(a) Define ‘stakeholder’ and explain the importance of identifying all the stakeholders in the stadium project.

Educational attainment in rural America reached a historic
height in 2000, with nearly one in six rural adults holding a 【M1】______
4-year college degree, and more than three in four complete 【M2】______
high school. As the demand of workers with higher educational 【M3】______
qualifications rises, many rural policymakers
have come to view local educational levels as a critical
determinant of job and income growth in their communities.
But policymakers are facing with two key questions. 【M4】______
First, does a better educated population lead to greater
economic growth? According to a recent study, rural counties
with higher educational levels saw rapid earnings and 【M5】______
income growth over the past two decades than counties with
lower educational levels. However, economic returns to
education for rural areas continue to lag that for urban areas. 【M6】______
Second, are there Ways to improve local educational attainment,
particularly through improvements in elementary and high
schools, It can enhance the economic well-being of rural 【M7】______
residents and communities? In fact, preliminary research
demonstrates a connection between better schools and positive
outcomes in terms of earnings and Income growth for rural
workers and rural communities.
Ultimately, the strength of the tie between education and
economic outcomes is influenced in part by the extent which 【M8】______
small rural counties lose young adults through
outmigration. The loss of potential workers from rural areas, as
young adults leave college and work opportunities in urban 【M9】______
areas, has concerned rural observers for many decades. This
rural "brain drain" not only deprives rural employers of an
education workforce, but also depletes local resources because 【M10】______
communities that have invested in these workers' education
reap little return on that investment.

第10题
Among isolated peoples ,who are not often reached by traders from outside ,commerce usually means barter ,which is a direct exchange of goods .Perhaps it is fish for vegetables or meat for baskets .For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed ,but there is often something that everyone wants ,such as salt to flavor food, shells for necklaces ,or iron and copper to make into tools. These things — salt ,shells or metals — are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today.
Salt may seem rather a strange material to use as money ,but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetables ,it is often an absolute necessity .Cakes of salt ,stamped to show their value ,were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and they can still buy goods in parts of Africa.
Cowrie seashells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World. These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean ,and were traded to India and China. In Africa ,cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West .Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar ,an Australian silver coin which was once accepted as currency (货币) in many parts of Africa.
Metal was used as money in many parts of the world .Iron ,in lumps ,bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money .It can either be exchanged for goods ,or made into tools or weapons. The early money of China ,apart from shells ,was of bronze ,often in flat ,round pieces with a hole in the middle ,called ‘ cash ’.The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.
Nowadays ,coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money ,and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still store it for future use ,primitive money will soon be found only in museums.
1.Nowadays we think of money as() .
A.pieces of metal or metallic paper
B.made of either metal or paper
C.some printed notes and papers

2.In some parts of the world a traveler might go hungry() .
A.even if his money was of the local kind
B.even if he had no coins or notes
C.if he did not know the local rate of exchange
D.even if he had plenty of ready money
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Isolated peoples exchange goods by means of barter.
B.Salt cakes are taking the place of picturesque forms.
C.Seashells could be traded with Maria Theresa dollars.
D.The Chinese were among the earliest users of metal ‘ cash ’.
4.Primitive types of money will be used ().
A.to replace more picturesque forms
B.as exhibits to be shown in public
C.at local country markets and shops
