Passage 1
These days,many large city buildings are equipped with their own air-conditioning systems.These systems help keep the buildings cool,but they can also damage the environment.Since they?use a lot of electricity,for instance,they contribute indirectly to global warming.In addition,the?water that flows through the systems is often cooled using chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons,or?CFCs,that are believed to damage the Earth′s ozone layer.Recently,though,a system has been?built in the city of Toronto,Canada,that cools buildings with little damage to the environment.
In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings,water is pumped?through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃in?machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the?water flows through the building,it gradually becomes warmer.Finally,it reaches the roof,where it?is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers,where the cycle?begins again.
Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario,one of North America′s Great Lakes,and the new?system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this?depth,the water in the lake remains at 4℃all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which?the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However,the water from the lake is not pumped?directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead,it is used to cool the water that is already inside?the air-conditioning systems.After that,the lake water is added to the city′s ordinary water supply.
Enwave,the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system,says that it uses 75 percent?less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used,no damage can be caused?to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake,but experts believe that systems like?the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.

What is one advantage of Enwave′s new system?查看材料
  • A.It keeps buildings much cooler than other methods.
  • B.It can be used by large cities anywhere in the world.
  • C.It is much more energy-efficient than traditional systems.
  • D.It keeps water from being used for more than one purpose.

Passage 2
When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August,his explanation was?surprisingly straight up．Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses,he came right out?and said he was leaving"to pursue my goal of running a company,"Broadcasting his ambition was"very much my decision,"McGee says．Within two weeks,he was talking for the first time with the?board of Hartford Financial Services Group,which named him CEO and chairman on September 29．
McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of?company he wanted to run．It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspirations．And McGee isn′t alone．In recent weeks the No．2 executives at Avon and American Express quit?with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post．As boards-scrutinize succession plans in?response to shareholder pressure,executives who don′t get the nod also may wish to move on．A?turbulent business environment also has senior managers cautious of letting vague pronouncements?cloud their reputations．
As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold,deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the?jump without a net．In the third quarter,CEO turnover was down 23%from a year ago as nervous?boards stuck with the leaders they had,according to Liberum Research．As the economy picks up,opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders．
The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional．For years?executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the?ones who must be poached．Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:"I can′t think of a single?search I′ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first．"
Those who jumped without a job haven′t always landed in top positions quickly．Ellen Marram?quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age,saying she wanted to be a CEO．It was a year before she?became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange．Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in?2005 with ambitions to be a CEO．He finally took that post at a major financial institution three?years later．
Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers．The financial crisis has made?it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one．"The traditional rule was it′s safer to?stay where you are,but that′s been fundamentally inverted,"says one headhunter．"The people?who′ve been hurt the worst are those who′ve stayed too long．"

When McGee announced his departure,his manner can best be described as being__________．查看材料
