Passage 2The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects. Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundreds of them occupy a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯冲) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.34.The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in _________.

Passage 3These days, retailers are faced with an embarrassment of informational riches. With the right tools, you can track shipments, monitor inventory, gauge customer satisfaction, and much more with the click of a mouse.And that’s a problem. One of the biggest challenges facing e-business today is information overload. Often buried in the e-mail and faxes, spreadsheets and presentations, browsers and applications, Web sits and data warehouses, is information that holds the key to success. If only you could put your hands on it precisely when you needed it.Managing information overload and streamlining business processes have become critical success factors that making Knowledge Management (KM) tools vital to e-business success. The following white paper shows how using KM tools to get the right information to the right people at the right time and in a personalized, usable format, can accelerate decision-making, speed business processes, and deliver a decisive e-business advantage.A variety of stand-alone KM applications are emerging to provide such capabilities. They fall into several categories:·Information retrieval — Advanced tools let knowledge workers find information quickly, regardless of its source or location.·Personal content categorization — A single application can be customized to aggregate unstructured data from many sources into one view.·Learning and adaptation — Behind-the-scenes software agents profile the way an employee works in order to anticipate what data he/she might need.·Enterprise information portals — Corporate portals pull together up-to-date information and applications to enhance productivity and decision-making.·Collaboration — Rapid-fire sharing of knowledge among dispersed knowledge workers saves time and money, and increase productivity.·E-learning — Delivering the latest training to employees precisely when they need it can best be accomplished online.Next-generation software promises to integrate multiple KM technologies, to forge even more comprehensive solutions. As KM solutions evolve, they will transform the PC from a personal productivity tool to a knowledge assimilation and Internet productivity platform.37.The most important thing for success is often hidden in the _________.
