Logistics System A logistics system consists of different functions and activities,such as the following: 1.Customer service is a core function in the logistics process.Each business entity should have a customer service department to handle complaints,special orders,loss and damage claims,returns,bills problem,and etc．This function becomes crucial because any dissatisfaction can lead to failure to retain customers. 2.Inventory management is to maintain the stock of raw materials and half-finished products.In order to satisfy the customers＇demand and minimize costs,a company should establish an optimal level of inventory to meet the market demand that exceeds our expecta-tions,and at the same time,minimize your inventory holding costs and inventory write-down costs. 3.Transportation has taken a great role in many logistics systems for two reasons.First of all,globalization and importing-exporting activities make most products necessary to be transferred from one country to another.Secondly,information revolution has propelled the manufacturing process and consumer behaviors to be changed drastically.Traditional trans-portation methods need to be upgraded to accommodate modern transportation demand,therefore,containerization and usage of information sharing system emerge. 4.Storage is needed to manage the materials and store ready-for-market products in warehouses.There is new technology applied in the storage,for example,automatic ware-house.Old-fashioned warehouse has become the distribution center where container trucks deliver and pick up the goods. 5.Information system links all logistics processes and integrates all information to en-sure all the handling of large quantity of goods are delivered in an efficient,cost-effective and accurate manner. Questions:

Why does information system contribute to an efficient logistics system?( )

A:To link and integrate all logistics functions. B:To gather new information. C:To eliminate wrong data. D:To make all data public for future use.

King Richard III was a monster. He poisoned his wife, stole the throne from his two young nephews and ordered them to be smothered in the Tower of London. Richard was a sort of Antichrist the King --"that bottled spider, that poisonous bunchbacked toad."
Anyway, that was Shakespeare’s version. Shakespeare did what the playwright does: he turned history into a vivid, articulate, organized dream-repeatable nightly. He put the crouchback onstage, and sold tickets.
And who would say that the real Richard known to family and friends was not identical to Shakespeare’s memorably loathsome creation The actual Richard went dimming into the past and vanished. When all the eye-witnesses are gone, the artist’s imagination begins to twist.
Variations on the King Richard Effect are at work in Oliver Stone’s JFK. Richard III was art, but it was propaganda too. Shakespeare took the details of his plot from Tudor historians who wanted to blacken Richard’s name. Several centuries passed before other historians began to write about Richard’s virtues and suggest that he may have been a victim of Tudor malice and what is the cleverest conspiracy of all: art.
JFK is a long and powerful harangue about the death of the man Stone keeps calling "the slain young king." What are the rules of Stone’s game Is Stone functioning as commercial entertainer Propagandist Documentary filmmaker Historian Journalist Fantasist Sensationalist Crazy conspiracy monger Lone hero crusading for the truth against a corrupt Establishment Answer: some of the above.
The first superficial effect of JFK is to raise angry little scruples like welts in the conscience. Wouldn’t it be absurd if a generation of younger Americans, with no memory of 1963, were to form their ideas about John Kennedy’s assassination from Oliver Stone’s report of it But worse things have happened--including, perhaps, the Warren Commission report
Stone uses a suspect, mixed art form, and JFK raises the familiar ethical and historical problems of docudrama. But so what Artists have always used public events as raw material, have taken history into their imaginations and transformed it. The fall of Troy vanished into the Iliad. The Battle of Borodino found its most memorable permanence in Tolstoy’s imagining of it in War and Peace.
Especially in a world of insatiable electronic storytelling, real history procreates, endlessly conjuring new versions of itself. Public life has become a metaphysical breeder of fictions. Watergate became an almost continuous television miniseries--although it is interesting that the movie of Woodward and Bernstein’s All The President’s Men stayed close to the known facts and, unlike JFK, did not validate dark conjecture.
It can be inferred from the text that public life

A:is often the stuff for artists’ fictions. B:lies outside the field of history. C:is the focus of public attention. D:remains memorable at all times.

At the end of last year, a town called Friendship Heights, in Maryland’s Montgomery County, approved America’s (and thus the world’s) strictest tobacco policy. Town officers courageously banned smoking on all public property, including streets, pavements and public squares. "It’s a public health issue," said the mayor, Alfred Muller. who is also a doctor. "We don’t have the right to outlaw tobacco. but we’re doing what we can within our rights."
This newspaper has expressed disgruntlement with the element of intolerance that is increasingly manifesting itself within America’s anti-tobacco movement. It must be said, however, that brave Friendship Heights has discovered an approach that liberals can embrace. Private property is its owners’ sanctuary, but the public rules in public spaces. Undeniably, the streets belong to the government; what happens in them. therefore, is the government’s business.
On this worthy principle, smoking should be merely the beginning. For example, it is clear that the consumption of fatty foods contributes to heart disease, strokes and other deadly disease. Besides, eating junk makes you fat and ugly. What people do at home is their own affair, but why allows them to abuse the public streets for this gluttony America’s pavements and boardwalks are overridden with persons, many of them overweight, who amble along licking ice cream or gobbling chips. In many cities, hot dogs are spreaded, quite openly, on the pavement itself. All this should be stopped. Not just in Friendship Heights but in other enlightened districts, it should be illegal to eat anything but low-fat foods in public zones. Because Americans consume too little by way of fruits and vegetables, in time (it is best to move slowly, because people’s rights must be respected) streets should become strictly vegetarian.
More can be done. Shrieking newspaper headlines create stress for those who may not wish to view them. People who want to buy and read papers should therefore be required to do so in private. America has long and justly sought to prevent the entanglement of religion with public life. What people do in church or at home is their business. However, praying, sermonizing or wearing religious garb in the streets surely compromises the requirement that the public will not be dragoored into supporting religion.
There is the environment to consider, as well. That people exhale carbon dioxide in public places. thus contributing to global warming, is probably inevitable, and America’s politicians would be wise to permit it. But methane, too. is a greenhouse gas, and an odiferous one. Its emission in public places. where it can neither be avoided nor filtered, seems an imposition on both planetary hygiene and human comfort. Breakers of wind, surely, can be required to wait until they can answer their needs in private; and prosecuted when they fail.
Fame. then. to Friendship Heights. Other towns should take note. If they intend to fulfill their responsibilities to the health and welfare of citizens, to public order, and above all to the public streets and parks whose rights the authorities are sworn to uphold, then the way ahead is clear.
Which of the following measures CANNOT be taken for good of public health

A:Smoking is banned in public places. B:People are forbidden to eat fatty food on all public property. C:People are restricted in emitting carbon dioxide in public places. D:People are not permitted to read newspapers with shrieking headlines
