on Monday that they would reassess the safety of their own reactors.
Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants. She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards.
Germany will put off "the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,
" Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "This moratorium (延缓)will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county"s 17 nuclear power plants.
The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe"s
preparedness.
Germany"s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country"s nuclear
plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which
strongly supports nuclear power.
A previous government, led by the Social Democrats, passed a law in 2001 to close all the country"s
nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel"s government changed that decision last year to extend the lives
of the plants by an average of 12 years.
In Switzerland, Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems
in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards "particularly in terms of seismic(地震的) safety and cooling."
In Russia, the Prime Minister said his government would "draw conclusions from what"s going on in
Japan."

7,500 younger adults, and infected one in six people in the United States since arriving last April, health
officials said on Thursday.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said more
than 200,000 Americans had been hospitalized - about the same number who are affected by seasonal
flu in an entire year.
"About 15 percent of the entire country has been infected with H1N1 influenza, or about one in six
people," Frieden told a media briefing.
"That still leaves most people not having been infected and still remaining susceptible to H1N1 influenza,
" he said.
He said supplies of H1N1 vaccine (疫苗) had continued to improve, and some 85 million doses of
the vaccine had been made available for distribution so far, with 12 million more doses added this week.
That is up from 73 million doses a week ago - but still far fewer than had been hoped for by this week.
Even so, Frieden said vaccine supplies had opened up enough that states were beginning to distribute
the vaccine to the general population.
He urged people not to be complacent about (沾沾自喜) getting the vaccine because of reports that
the current wave of H1N1 influenza is decreasing.
"This is still a good window of opportunity to be vaccinated," he said. "Vaccination remains the most
important thing you can do to protect yourself and your family from H1N1 influenza."
He said the seasonal flu season was beginning and it was not clear what would happen with H1N1 or
whether there would be a third wave of the virus in the spring.
"We know that the more people who get vaccinated, the lower the likelihood will be of additional
cases or a third wave," Frieden said.
In a typical year, seasonal influenza kills 36,000 Americans and puts 200,000 into the hospital.
B. One sixth people in the United States were infected by Swine flu.
C. More than 200,000 Americans had been in hospital.
D. The American government had distribute most of the vaccine to the general population.
window of opportunity" means ______.
B. bad luck
C. unfortunate occasion
D. favourable window
B. will be a third wave in the next spring
C. will continue to spread
D. will make more people affected
B. continue to protect themselves and their family from H1N1 influenza though it is decreasing
C. be complacent about getting the vaccine because of reports
D. often go outdoors

2. There are certainly benefits of using a star in a film. It makes the film easier to market. Stars
also help sell more tickets and drive DVD sales, which are a big part of studio revenue. However,
a star does not guarantee success. The simple fact is that if you pay a star a great deal of money
for a film that people don"t want to see, then it won"t work.______

a US citizen $10,000 for breaking Washington"s strict new security (安全) rules.
The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.
The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.
There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5, 530-mile border between Canada and the US, which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.
As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to
the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs(海关) station in this area is closed
on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate
appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the
customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.
Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces
the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.
Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. "I feel like I"m living in a prison," he said.
B. a Canadian living in a Quebec village
C. a Canadian working in a customs station
D. an American working in a Canadian church
B. broke the American security rules
C. worked in St. Pamphile without a pass
D. damaged the gate of the customs office
B. a race across the fields
C. a roundabout way of traveling

C. An Unguarded Border
D. An Expensive Church Visit
how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a l6-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk
of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.
The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m.,
and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a
late-night accident.
Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says
the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with "really stupid behavior" than with just a
lack of driving experience. "The basic thing," he says, "is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发
放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is."
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called
graduated licensing systems,in which getting a license is a slower process. A graduated license requires
that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of
driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes,according to recent studies. About
half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states
have number limitation on passengers. California is the strictest, with a new driver prohibited from
carrying any passenger under 20 for the first six months.
B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.
C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
B. their lack of driving experience
C. their improper way of driving
D. their driving with passengers
B. Driving is a skill too difficult for teenagers to learn.
C. Teenagers should be limited in taking driving lessons.
D. People issuing license are partly responsible for the accidents.
B. they should be forbidden to take on passengers
C. they should not be allowed to drive after l0 p. m.
D. the licensing systems should be improved
JAPANESE scientists have developed a special kind of tomato. It can change an eater"s sense of
taste,says a report in Science News. For about an hour after a person eats one of the tomatoes,sour foods taste sweet.
Say you eat one of the tomatoes before lunch. Then you take a bite of a lemon (柠檬). You will
find that the lemon tastes like super-sweet lemonade.
How magical is that ! The key ingredient in the taste-changing tomatoes is " miraculin (非洲奇果蛋白 ) ". Miraculin is found in berries that grow in West Africa. These fruits are sometimes sold as "
Miracle(奇迹) Fruit" berries.
People have long known about the ability of miracle berries to change taste. In some countries,the
berries are used as a way to help people lose weight: For example,a dieter can eat a berry and then eat
low-calorie sour foods that will
taste wonderfully sweet.
Scientists found miraculin in the miracle berry in 1968. Since then,people have wondered how to
manufacture it. One way could be to harvest the berries. The problem was that if demand got too large,
the berry plants could be driven to extinction.
That"s where the Japanese scientists came in. Professor Kazuhisa Kato and his team at the University of Tsukuba studied the DNA of the miracle berry. They found a gene(基因) that contained the
instructions for how to make miraculin.
Kato and other researchers put the gene for miraculin into the DNA of a tomato. As a result,the
tomatoes started to make miraculin. Those tomatoes had just as much miraculin as miracle berries do.
These "miracle" tomatoes could be grown in large numbers. If scientists can grow other foods with
miraculin inside,then there won"t be any need to harvest all the miracle berries.
The researchers don"t know yet how the tomato-based miraculin can be used. Perhaps it could be sold as a dieting food,to be taken before meals.
B. it can only be eaten before lunch
C. it changes a sour taste to a sweet one
D. it has a magical ingredient
B. discovered the secrets of miracle fruit berries in 1968
C. have planted miracle tomatoes in large numbers
D. invented the miraculin gene and put it into the tomato=
B. The tomato is a low-calorie fruit that tastes wonderfully sweet.
C. Scientists have already found many uses for mariculin.
D. The tomato-based miraculin might help people lose weight,so it might be used as a dieting food.
