Taking photographs at a birthday or a wedding has become as natural as blowing out candles or cutting the cake. But our obsession with recording every detail of our happiest moments could be damaging our ability to remember taking pictures rather than concentrating fully on the events in front of us prevents memories taking hold.

Dr. Linda Henkel, from Fairfield University, Connecticut, described it as the "photo-taking impairment effect". She said: "People so often pull out their cameras almost mindlessly to capture a moment, to the point where they are missing what is happening right in front of them. When people rely on technology to remember for them—counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves—it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences."

Dr Henkel and her team carried out an experiment in a museum, to learn if taking pictures of the exhibits was hindering the ability of visitors to remember what they had seen.

A group of university students were led on a tour at the Bellarmine Museum of Art at Fairfield University and were asked to either photograph or try and remember objects on display. The next day their memory was tested. The results showed that people were less accurate in recognizing the objects they had photographed than those they had only looked at. It was found that their memory for the details of the objects they had photographed was poorer.

Henkel's lab is currently investigating whether the content of a photo, such as whether you are in it, affects later memory. She is also researching whether actively choosing what to photograph might influence what we remember.

Previous research suggests that reviewing photos we have taken does help us remember the objects, but only if we take the time.

"Research has suggested that the sheer volume and lack of organization of digital photos for personal memories discourages many people from accessing and recalling them. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them," said Dr Henkel.

31. What does the word “them”, in the first paragraph, refer to?

A. Gifts at a birthday. B. People who go to parties.

C. Photos taken at a wedding. D. Details of the happiest moments.

32. What is the “photo-taking impairment effect”?

A. Some unhappy events may impair the effects of photos.

B. Taking photographs of objects ruins one’s memory of them.

C. The effects of photos are strongly affected by bad cameras.

D. Memories last forever when people take the photos they like most.

33. What can we learn about Dr. Linda Henkel’s study?

A. A group of high school students were involved.

B. The memory of participants was tested the following week.

C. People who just looked at the objects remembered fewer details.

D. People who photographed objects were worse at recognizing them.

34. With which of the following may Dr. Linda Henkel agree?

A. Reviewing photos improves memories of objects.

B. Focusing on people at events is the best way to remember.

C. Relying on technology to remember affects the memory.

D. Counting on cameras to record events is always reliable.

35. The passage is probably taken from________.

A. a health magazine B. a cultural overview

C. an economics report D. an entertainment website

How to Sleep Better

If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.

1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 am，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.

2. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.

3．Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.

4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a

considerable difference.

A．Try to avoid all sources of light.

B．Keep the room as dark as possible.

C．Make note of unusual circumstances.

D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed. E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness. F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”． G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position. 第三部分: 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

Los Angeles: Love for Mom is necessary, but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother’s Day, another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears, which is a period of reduced trade and business activity, and increasing food and gasoline prices.

“if you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Beder, an analyst at Brean Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother’s Day will probably be a slow quarter, too.” US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion, with consumers spending an average of $17.65, according to the National Federation estimates.

Mother’s Day, which accounts for a one-quarter of annual holiday purchases, according to the Society of American Florists, is traditionally the day when flowers are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.

But this year, the shop-owners are concerned.

Gabriel Soto, who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los financial district, is expecting lower sales—and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day. Last month, Soto, who also operates nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.

1. The underlined word “slump” in Para. 2 probably means _______.

A. sharp decrease in price B. great fear for losing jobs

C. global worry of floral stores D. sudden fall by a large amount

2. This passage implies that Americans have _______.

A. Met financial problems recently

B. No longer bought flowers for mothers

C.delivered flowers to every house for mothers

D.cut back on spending because of having lost jobs

3. Which would be the best title for this passage?

A. Hard time coming nearer B. Mother’s day and crisis

C. Sorry mom, love you but no flowers D. Holiday purchases have a hard time

IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward fro his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business—IKEA.

IKEA’s name comes from Kamprad’s initials(I.K.) and teh place where he grew up (‘E’ and ’A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.

Kamprad’s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.

IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line. Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.

In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early 1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.

In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations (内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.

Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.

4. The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging_______.

A. needs large space to assembly furniture B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad

C. helps reduce transportation costs D. makes the company self-sufficient

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Ingvar Kamprad is the richest man in teh world.

B. IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer.

C. The advantage of IKEA’s furniture is dissembling.

D. Ingvar Kamprad established IKEA and led it to great success.

6. What is the author’s attitude towards IKEA’s future according to the last

paragraph?

A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.

7. The passage is developed primarily in terms of _______.

A. order of events B. analysis of a process

C. examples that illustrate(阐释) a problem D. comparison and contrast

Educating Girls Is a Real Lifesaver

Clare Short know it. Every developing economist knows it. The World Bank knows it. The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty.

The reason is simple. All the evidence shows that taking girls out of the fields and homes, and putting them behind desks, raises economic productivity, lowers infant and maternal(产科) death rate, reduces birth rates, and improves environmental management.

Why, then, are 90 million primary school-age girls around the world not in school? For the same reason that when Charles Dickens was writing David Copperfield 150 yeas ago girls were absent from the British education system : Men in power mostly prefer it that way, or are not interested enough in changing the situation to commit energy and money to doing so.

The countries with the poorest record for having women in positions of power or influence have the worst figures for girls’ education. High-profile intervention(介入) by organization s such as the World Bank has begun successfully with several countries, and more of the same will probably be needed to bring change in conservative, male-run states.

Even if there were no development pay-off from gender equality in schools, the education of girls would still be a cause worth fighting for. Education is a human right, and the denial of it to girls is a scar on the community in the twenty-first century.

To be born a girl in a rural area in Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, Morocco, Togo, or Sudan—half a dozen of the most shameful performers—means being condemned to a life without school, education, or clean water, marriage and babies coming too early, too many births, children who die of preventable diseases, backbreaking work in the fields, subordination(从属)to husband and his family, and an early death.

Every year, almost 12 million children under the age of five needlessly die of infections diseases associated with poverty. But each additional year spent by their mothers in primary school lowers the risk of premature child deaths by about 8 percent. In Pakistan, an extra year of school for 1,000 girls could prevent sixty infant deaths.

With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output, and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting and farming. Therefore, the world community cannot afford to ignore this avenue

change.

12. What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The poor economy at that time B. Girls’ absence from school

C. Energy and money D. The education of girls

13. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The countries where women have great influence and are in power always do worse in girls’ education.

B. Some organizations such as the World Bank haven’t taken the lead in girls’ education.

C. Some girls in Sudan and Indonesia are bound to live a life without education when they are born.

D. Each extra year of school for girls has nothing to do with the birth rate and maternal deaths.

14. which is NOT the reason why educating girls reduces poverty?

A. It improves environmental management B. It raise economic productivity.

C. It creates more children D. It lowers maternal death rates.

15. What does the author think of girls’ education?

A. essential B. terrible C. indifferent D. helpless

第二节据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Life comes in a package. This package includes love, happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. 16 Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

Love

Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. 17 It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands it. Kids make us responsible and mature.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others’ face gives a certain level of fulfillment. 18 No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary.

Failure and Success Failure is the path to success. 19 Success brings in money, fame and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.

Secondly, it does not seem 45 for those who get to school early. They could have

a _46 near the front but instead they must park near the back. It is even less

47 when it is raining or snowing and students who 48 to school early must walk

further across the parking lot because they are not a senior.

Lastly, no matter how hard the school tries to 49 senior parking, there will

always be those freshmen who 50 to park in the senior parking spaces, regardless

第三部分：阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)

When I decided to quit my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties,

fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to

leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I

did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along,

I thought, it would be easy.

My first experience was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car

delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客).

It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even

with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying

to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I

had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get

on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found

myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.

Luckily, I got in at the right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just

starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my

blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，

I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free

marketing for my blogging.

Within two years, I was being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which

helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful,

however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog

and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over

again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives

elsewhere.

56. After the author quit her job, she decided to ______.

A. divorce her husband B. be a wedding

photographer

C. pay off all her debt D. go travelling abroad

57. What can we learn about the author from the 2nd paragraph?

A. She paid money to a car delivery agency for a road trip.

B. She realised his dream of becoming a travel photographer.

C. She got a job as an editor in a publishing house.

D. She finally became a professional blogger unintentionally.

58. The author believed her success mainly resulted from ______.

A. her personal reasons B. her photographing skills

C. free marketing for blogging D. booming of travel industry

59. What did the author think of her two years' work?

A. Inspiring. B. Appealing. C. Interesting.

D. Challenging.

IV阅读理解（前三篇每小题2分，D篇每小题1分共25分）

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona．He

moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends．

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his

work and family, but uncomfortable with his children．As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him．He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was．Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard．

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an

outdoor café．We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions．Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules．Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about

his own childhood．Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment．After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father．And in doing so, I’m delighted with My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was．

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human Being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.

What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t.

Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.

These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.

I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change?

60. The main idea of this passage should be that______

A. Beliefs are very powerful.

B. Beliefs make us seem stupid

C. Changing your beliefs now is necessary

D. People should always believe in themselves.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that “ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

61. The writer thinks that_____.

A. health is more important than wealth

B. work is as important as studies

C. medicine is more important than pleasure

D. nothing is more important than money

62. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______.

A. without examining the patient B. after he has examined the patient

C. if the patient doesn’t take medicine D. unless the patient feels pain

63. The underlined part means “ ”.

A. he was feeling better than ever B. he wasn’t a healthy man

C. he was feeling worse than before D. he will be well again

64. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A. was a heavy smoker B. didn’t smoke so much

C. didn’t smoke D. began to learn to smoke

65. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.

B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.

C. The man thanked the doctor.

D. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.

Explore the World Together

We invite the next generation of explorers to get out in the field and follow in the footsteps of National Geographic’s photographers, writers and scientists. Students completing 9th-12th grades are able to take part in the trips.

Our long history

National Geographic has been exploring the planet since 1888. We are able to create exciting travel experiences for students. Meet farmers in New Zealand, listen to ancient stories in Australia or do research with scientists in America. To make these trips possible, we have partnered with Putney Student Travel, an organization that has offered student trips for more than 60 years.

Travel groups

Traveling with other teenagers naturally creates a spirit of teamwork. Besides, seeing a place with your new friends brings a whole new world to your experience.

To lead our trips, we choose college students who love traveling. They are energetic, creative, responsible and knowledge. They would like to share their love for traveling with high school students.

Community service

On many trips, you have a chance to take part in community service projects that allow you know more about the place you are exploring and make a difference. You can teach students English, clean up a park or build a bird house.

Expectations

In order to increase students’ understanding of other peoples and customs, National Geographic provides travel experiences for students. We expect students to keep high standards of personal behavior. Students are selected on the basis of their willingness to live and learn in a supportive community environment.

Once upon a time, a boy moved house. On entering his new bedroom, he saw that it was full of toys, storybooks, pens, pencils and all of them were perfectly tidy.

That day he played all he liked, and went to bed without having tidied up.

Surprisingly the next morning all the toys had been put back in their proper places. He was sure that no one had entered his bedroom. The same thing happened that day, and the next, but when the fourth day arrived and he went to get his first toy of the day, the toy jumped out of his hands and said,“I don’t want to play with you!”

The same happened with every toy he touched. Finally, an old teddy bear said to him,“Are you surprised why we don’t want to play with you? You always leave us so far away from our proper places, and we feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Do you have any idea how difficult it is for the books to climb back up onto their shelves, or for the pencils to jump into their box? You have no idea how uncomfortable and cold the floor is! We won’t play with you any more until you promise to leave us in our little houses before you go to bed. ”

The boy remembered how comfortable and content he felt in his bed and how bad he felt when he had once slept in a chair. He realized how badly he had treated his friends, the toys. He asked their forgiveness, and from that day he always put his toys nicely in their special places before he got into bed.

59. How did the boy feel on entering his bed room?

A. frightened B. curious C. excited D. disappointed

MIHIR A. DESAI

VINCENT DESSAIN

ANDERS SJÖMAN 9-205-026REV: FEBRUARY 28, 2007

Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS

Christopher Archer-Lock, London-based controller for student exchange organization American

Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) talked almost daily with his Boston-based counterpart, Becky

Tabaczynski, CFO for the group’s high school travel division ACIS. On this day in early July, 2004,

their daily phone call had been especially invigorating.

As often before, they had discussed foreign exchange hedging, an area of key importance for the

company. AIFS received most of its revenues in American Dollars (USD), but incurred its costs in

other currencies, primarily Euros (EUR) and British Pounds (GBP). The currency mismatch was

natural given AIFS’s business: it organized educational and cultural exchange programs throughout

the world. Two of AIFS’s major divisions served American students traveling abroad. The Study

Abroad College division, where Archer-Lock was controller and treasurer, sent college-age students

to universities worldwide for semester-long programs, and the High School Travel division, whose

finances Tabaczynski managed, organized 1-4 week trips for high school students and their teachers.

Currency hedging helped AIFS protect its bottom line from damaging exchange rate changes.

Using currency forward contracts and currency options (Appendix 1 summarizes currency

instruments). AIFS hedged its future cost commitments up to two years in advance. The problem was

that the hedge had to be put in place before AIFS had completed its sales cycle, and before it knew

exactly how much foreign currency it needed. The dilemma meant that Archer-Lock and Tabaczynski

frequently discussed two points. First, what percentage of the expected costs should they cover?

Currently, AIFS covered 100%. Second, in what proportions should AIFS use forward contracts and

options? Today, Tabaczynski had promised Archer-Lock to put together scenarios for how changes in

sales and exchange rates could affect the company. He was eager to see what she meant.

AIFS Activities and Business Model

Through its family of companies, AIFS sent more than 50,000 students each year on academic and

cultural exchange programs worldwide. Founded in the U.S. in 1964 by Sir Cyril Taylor (HBS MBA

1961) the group had annual revenues close to $200 million. Two of the group’s main divisions

focused on Americans traveling abroad:

205-026 Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS • The College division organized study abroad programs for more than 5,000 American

university-aged students during the academic year (Academic Year and Semester, AYS) or the

summer (College Summer School, CSS.) All courses were for academic credit, with most

participants traveling to Europe, and a significant portion to the United Kingdom. Countries

with study programs included Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Italy, Russia,

South Africa and Spain.

The Boston-based High School Travel division had been founded in 1978 as the American

Council for International Studies (ACIS) and organized chaperoned educational travel for

about 20,000 high school students and teachers annually. The groups traveled on 1- to 4-week

educational trips to Europe, China, Mexico, Africa, Australia and the Americas. For most

participants, these trips were their first exposure to foreign countries, and so AIFS organized

the whole trip: airfare, transportation, hotels, tour manager, guides etc. •

Overall, the College division had higher margins than the “low margin/high volume” operations

of the ACIS division. ACIS was also more exposed to world events than the College division. High

school travelers reacted immediately to news of war, terrorism or political uncertainty. Sales could

drop up to 60% on such news. In the last 25 years, four events had led to such drops in ACIS sales:

the 1986 terrorism acts, the 1991 Gulf War, the 2001 September 11 attacks and the 2003 Iraq war.

AIFS also ran several other programs, such as an Au Pair division which annually placed 4,000

young people in American homes to assist with child care, and the Camp America division, which

placed 10,000 young people as camp leaders in USA summer camps. AIFS also arranged Academic

Year in America (AYA) for students wanting to study in the U.S.

Catalogs, Guarantees and Pricing

By and large, AIFS’s business was “catalog-based.” The College division distributed two main

catalogs per year (one Summer and one Fall/Spring) and the High School division had one main Fall

catalog, with several smaller catalogs distributed throughout the year. A key feature was that AIFS

guaranteed that its prices would not change before the next catalog, even if world events altered

AIFS’s cost base. Although the idea often came up for discussion among AIFS management, it was

always agreed that it would be hard to abandon the notion of guaranteed prices. The primary

customer base (which was not the students, who changed from year to year, but their teachers and

academic advisors) based their loyalty to AIFS on the fact that there would be no “price surprises.”

When pricing the programs, both divisions took into account their cost base, competitive pricing

and also the hedging activities. Their pricing schedules were, however, different.

The College worked on an academic planning year, from July 1 to June 30.

Prices for any given year had to be set by June 30 the previous year. This meant that now in early July

2004, Archer-Lock had just finalized the prices for the College division’s “Summer 2005” and “Fall

2005/Spring 2006” catalogs. During the year, Archer-Lock met regularly with marketing and

operations managers, to discuss sales forecasts and events that might affect sales. In addition, these

managers put out weekly sales forecasts, on which Archer-Lock could base his hedging activities.

Combining tours, seasons and departure gateways, the ACIS

catalog contained about 35,000 prices. Tabaczynski set these on a calendar year basis, January to

December. One of her main goals was to see that ACIS followed a strategy of slow, but steady price

increases year by year. She explained, College PricingHigh School Travel Pricing

Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS 205-026

We found that if we increased our own prices $200 from one year to another, the market

reacted. So to avoid sudden price hikes, we instead raise prices in much smaller amounts, a

little each year. Interestingly, if we become $200 more expensive than the competition, our

customers don’t seem to care. We have a very loyal customer base: over 70% of our teachers

are returning customers.

Hedging at AIFS

At AIFS, Tabaczynski and Archer-Lock used currency hedging to help them manage three types

of risk. First was the bottom-line risk, or the risk that an adverse change in exchange rates could

increase the cost base. Explained Tabaczynski, ”Say you have costs of EUR 20 million and that we set

our catalog prices at parity with the dollar. Then the dollar goes to 1.30! We’re now talking 30% of

EUR 20 million… It’s a move that could take you out of business.” Second was the volume risk, since

foreign currency was bought based on projected sales volumes, which would differ from final sales

volumes. Third was the competitive pricing risk, since no matter how currencies fluctuated, the AIFS

price guarantee meant it could not transfer rate changes into price increases. Naturally, the

competitive risk was closely link to the other risks, especially the bottom line risk.

Hedging activities normally started about six months prior to a main pricing date. For the College

division, this meant that hedging normally began in earnest in January. Figure 1 shows a sample

timeline for pricing as well as hedging for the College division.

For the High School Travel division, hedging took place throughout the year, matched with

various sales deals, but company policy was to hedge at least 25% by December, 40% by the end of

March and a full 100% by the pricing date in June.

To track current hedges, Archer-Lock produced a daily report of currency rates and currency

purchasing. (See Exhibit 1 for a sample daily report.) Archer-Lock explained the report,

The report is circulated to a broad group of management, since currency rates and our

hedging activity affect many aspects of our business and the issues are widely discussed. The

report provides a snapshot of key market rates, both short and long term, alongside progress

in our hedging activity. The top part of the report shows exchange rates for currencies, looking

up to two years forward to match our catalog planning time scales, plus other data such as

interest rates and currency policy guidelines. The lower part of the report shows forecast

currency buying needs for the different sectors of the business, plus the percentage of hedging

undertaken to date in contracts and options, and the rates achieved. These parameters are

205-026 Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS monitored in the light of sales and enrollment projections, market rates, currency policy and

timing within the business cycle.

Archer-Lock also distributed a monthly report that reviewed currency purchasing and made

recommendations for future hedging. (See Exhibit 2 for a sample monthly report.) When purchasing

currency, AIFS worked with six different banks, with which it had long-standing relationships. The

banks had all granted AIFS lines of credit, based on their own analyses of the business. Without the

credit lines, AIFS would have had to deposit funds at each bank to cover its hedging activities.

Currently, credit lines came close to $100 million USD. A similar level of deposits would have taxed

AIFS considerably, compared to the company’s annual turnover of $200 million.

The ultimate success of the group’s hedging activities depended on the final sales volume and the

ultimate market value of USD. Archer-Lock summarized the relationship between these two

variables with a two-by-two matrix, that he called the “AIFS shifting box.” (See Figure 2.)

Figure 2 AIFS Shifting Box

Actual Sales Volume

LOWExchange Rate

Source: AIFS

Archer-Lock explained,

Square 1 means that we bought the currency but we don’t need it, because our sales came in

below our projections. It is a bad place, especially if we are locked into surplus forward

contracts on which we would lose money. It’s this box that makes us use options, and not just

forward contracts. In square 2, the exchange gain hopefully compensates for the lower sales

volume. The gain is larger with forward contracts than with options, since options cost roughly

5% of the nominal USD strike price. In square 3, volume came in higher than expected and so

we are short foreign currency. The exchange rate moved out-of-money1 though so we can just

buy the extra volume we need, favorably, at spot rate.

Finally, we have the tricky square 4, which combines both good news bad news. Our sales

came in higher than expected, which is good, but it means that we need more currency.

1 A call option is “out-of-the-money” if the spot exchange rate is less than the option’s strike price of the option (and .vice versa

for a put option.) An “out-of-the-money” option will have no value at expiry, and the option holder normally just lets it expire.

By contrast, an “in-the-money” option has an intrinsic value, since there is money to be made from exercising the option. A call

option is in-the-money if its strike price is below the spot exchange rate.

Hedging Currency Risks at AIFS 205-026

Unfortunately, the currency rate moved in-the-money, so we have to buy at a higher rate than

the rate we used when we priced the catalog. This downside should be offset though by the

sales increase—we just have to monitor where the breakeven is between these two.

To help inform its hedging decisions, AIFS had put in place a currency hedging policy (see

Exhibit 3). In essence, the policy addressed two key questions. First, what percentage of the expected

requirements should AIFS cover? Commented Tabaczynski,

The bottom-line risk drives this. There was a time when we only covered 80% which is

quite a reasonable cover. Then came that one bad year in 1995 where we got burned. Volume

came in higher than expected, we were only covered 80%, and I think we lost $700,000 against

the rate we used when we priced the catalog. So now we cover 100% of our needs

Second, within the cover, what should be the proportion of contracts versus options? Currently,

the policy let the College division use up to 30% in options, and ACIS up to 50%. Said Tabaczynski,

In general, I believe that in the long run, no matter how you hedge, half the time you win,

half the time you loose. You still need to hedge for the short run, though. With options, you

can stabilize your earnings, your price increase. Assume we only bought contracts, at say 1.30.

The dollar continues to be weak—but then just before we price the catalog, it goes to parity.

Competitors who aren’t hedging can buy at spot rate—but I have to price at 1.30. Now, with

options I have the choice to step away—so options lead to a more stable company, with more

stable infrastructure. I really like options.

In general, Archer-Lock believed the hedging policy had struck a happy balance between

structure and adaptability, as well as between risk and cost. He commented,

Although one could envisage a more prescriptive or mechanistic approach, we have

generally been happy with the hedging process. The policy provides a framework, which is

filled out by management discussion and some discretion. The key elements of the framework

are that we cover 100% of the forecast and so do not speculate by leaving needs open at the

pricing date, and that we match the options percentage to the perceived volume risk. This

seems logical when you think of the risk in terms of the shifting box matrix, but there is always

a critical debate to be had here, which events and markets keep very much alive.

Tabaczynski added,

I believe another reason we do a good job of hedging is because we have a good working

relationship across the board. In some companies, hedging is considered a financial decision,

independent of the business needs. Here, we’re trying to match the business needs.

Tabaczynski’s Spreadsheet

Although the company’s hedging policy gave guidelines on how much to cover, and how to split

the cover between contracts and options, the exact parameters could always be discussed. In the end,

it was the two unknowns—final sales volume and final dollar exchange rate—that determined what

economic impact the hedging activities had on the company. For the currency component, Archer-

Lock followed rate movements for the key currencies. Specifically, he tracked the long term dollar

movement against the Euro (see Exhibit 4) and the British Pound (see Exhibit 5), as well as the short

and medium term movements of the Euro and the GBP against the dollar (see Exhibit 6 for short

term currency movements and Exhibit 7 for medium term currency movements). This involved

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Sure, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two persons are the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women, if they are friendly people when we go to these places.

There is more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people who don’t have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

56. The first paragraph tells us ______.

A. making friends is a need in people’s life B. we always need friends around us

C. what is the feeling of having no friends D. we need to be alone in our life

57. “So are some schools” in Paragraph 2 means ______

A. Students make friends in some schools.

B. We can borrow books from some schools.
