Estee Lauder Died
1 The child of Central European immigrants who created an international cosmetics（化妆
品）empire and became one of the most influential women in US,has died on Saturday.
Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan,New York City,a company spokeswoman
said.She was 97.
2 Born in Queens,New York in 1908,Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother
and a Czech father.
3 Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle
John Schotz, a chemist, to beauty salons（美容院）and hotels.In 1930, she married
Joseph Lauder who became her partner.The company,which became known as Estee
Lauder,took oft after World War Ⅱ.
4 In 1953,the company introduced its first perfume（香水）,Youth Dew, the first of a
range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70.They include:Aramis,a line of
products for men, launched in 1964; and Clinique, a range of odourless（无臭的）
cosmetics,which followed in 1968.
5 By the time she retired in 1995,Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar
enterprise,which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies.
In 1998,she was the only woman to feature in Time magazine's selection of the 20 most
important business geniuses of the last century.There were two secrets to her success:
her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second
best.
6 Even after her retirement at the age of 89,Lauder remained closely involved.Beauty,
Lauder believed,was the most important thing in life.
7 She wrote in her 1985 autobiography,"Estee,a Success Story":"In a perfect world,
we'd all be judged on the sweetness of our souls.But in our less than perfect world,the
woman who looks pretty has a distinct advantage and,usually,the last word."
After retirement,she continued to show interest__________.
A.at the age of 97
B.as the most important thing in life
C.by John Schotz
D.in 1908
E.in cosmetics
F.on the sweetness of our souls
[不定项选择题]资料：Up to 80 per cent of the world’s middle classes will live in developing countries by 2030 thanks to surprising recent gains in poverty reduction, according to a United Nations report published on Thursday.
“Never in history have the living conditions and prospects of so many people changed so dramatically and so fast.” concludes the UN’s latest Development Report. “The world is witnessing an epochal ‘global rebalancing’.”
Underpinning the improvements in the human development index（HDI） was rapid growth in countries such as China, India and Brazil, with China and India having doubled per capita economic output in less than 20 years. But the study stressed that growth and improvements in HDI spread far beyond the four Bric countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China, and included at least 40 countries that had accompanied greater economic dynamism with effective poverty-reduction policies.
Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Angola were among 14 countries that have recorded gains in HDI of more than 2 per cent a year since 2000. Partly as a result, the report found that worldwide extreme income poverty has plunged from 43 per cent in 1990 to just 22 per cent in 2008, including more than 500m being lifted out of poverty in China alone. The report stated that such gains had already helped the world achieve the main poverty eradication goal of the so-called Millennium Development Goals, which called for the share of people living on less than $1.25 a day to be cut by half from 1990 to 2015.
Underpinning this poverty reduction was developing countries’ increasing share of global trade, which grew from 25 per cent to 47 per cent between 1980 and 2010. “The south as a whole is driving global economic growth and societal change for the first time in centuries,” says the report.
The report found that trade among developing countries was the biggest factor in that expansion, increasing from less than 10 per cent of total global trade to more than 30 per cent. “Trade between countries in the south will overtake that between developed nations,” the report said.
The passage mainly ______.
A.discuss why developing countries are playing major role
B.illustrate a theory for poverty reduction
C.explain reasons behind a report
D.interpret the role of trade for developing countries

Can Buildings Be Designed to Resist Terrorist Attack?
In the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center,structural engineers are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have been completely unthinkable:Can buildings be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts（爆炸）inflicted by terrorists?
Ten days after the terrorist attacks on the,twin towers,stmctural engineers from the University at Buffalo and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering.Research(MCEER)headquartered（总部在某地）atUB traveled to ground zero as part of a project funded场the National Science Foundation.Visiting the site as part of an MCEER reconnaissance（事先考查）visit,they spent two days beginning the task of formulating ideas about how to design such structures and to search for clues on how to do so in buildings that were damaged but still are standing.
"Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center,those buildings that are still standing,but that sustained damage," said M.Bruneau,Ph.
D."Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing,while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married to existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks,"he added.
Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate in startling (惊人的）detail the monumental damage inflicted on the World Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity.One building a block away from the towers remains standing,but was badly damaged."This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column there that used to be part of that building,"explained
A.Whittaker,Ph.
D.
"The column became a missile that shot across the road,through the window and through the floor."
The visit to the area also revealed some surprises,according to the engineers.For example,the floor framing system in one of the adjacent buildings was quite rugged,allowing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris to remain intact." Highly redundant ductile（有延展性的）framing systems may provide a simple,but robust strategy for blast resistance,"he added.Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-bearing column fails."We also need a better understanding of the mechanism of collapse,"said
A.Whittaker."We need to find out what causes a building to collapse and how you can predict it."
A.Reinhorn,Ph.
D.noted that"Earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many buildings in the past.It induces dynamic response and extremely high stresses and deformations in structural components.Solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may be directly applicable to blast engineering and terrorist-resistant design.Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present."
What Dr.Reinhorn said in the last paragraph may imply all the following EXCEPT that______.
A.blast engineers should develop new solutions for terrorist-resistant design
B.blast engineering can borrow technologies developed for earthquake-resistant design
C.solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may apply to terrorist-resistant design
D.blast engineering emerges as a new branch of science
