The storage of classified research at all 24 labs run by the US Department of Energy was shut down this week after officials decided that the security problems recently found at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico might also exist elsewhere. Several computer disks went missing at Los Alamos earlier this month, forcing Energy Secretary Spencer Ahraham to stop all work at the lab until the problems are found out. As of 26 July, two missing disks had still not been found, and 15 employees had been suspended in connection with the disappearance. Now all energy labs will stop doing classified research that involves (需要) removable storage devices-such as computer disks-until all the devices are given explanation for and new procedures are in place for monitoring their handling by laboratory employees. "While we have no evidence that the problems being investigated are present elsewhere . we have a responsibility to take all necessary action to prevent such problems,"Abraham said on 23 July. The shut-down isn"t quite as dramatic (惊人的) as it sounds,expert say. Only two labs will be seriously affected;Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico , and Lawrence Livemore National Laboratory in Califomia. Together with Los Alamos,these two labs conduct the most part of the country"s nuclear weapon programmes. At Livermore, 876 employees will be suspended during the storage of some 12,000 items of classified removable material. At other labs , far fewer people will be affected. " The impact (影响) should be the smallest , " says Martha Krebs , former director of the energy department"s science office. |
1. Why was the storage of classified research at all 24 labs shut down? |
A. Because the security problems might be present elsewhere . B. Because the security problems existed elsewhere. C. Because two missing computer disks had still not be found. D. Because officials decided to stop doing such research. |
2. How many labs conduct the country"s nuclear weapon programmes according to the text? |
A. About 24. B. Only 2. C. More than 2. D. Over 15. |
3. The underlined word "suspended" in the second paragraph probably means" _________". |
A. hung from above B. stopped from holding a position C. doubted D. fired |
4. It can be inferred from the text that________. |
A. the computer disks must have been stolen by terrorists B. the people living in the United States have little security C. the United States is a country whose security is very bad D. the missing of the computer disks caused great fear among Americans |

If it works,it should make everyone feel a little better about healthcare and make healthcare a little more accessible to more people. Patients will no longer have to shell out the 7 to 15 percent extra fees that state-owned hospitals charge on medicines. The Health Ministry" announcement last week is a welcome first step in China"s long-delayed healthcare reform. The new policy, to be adopted on trial basis. Is intended to stop hospitals from relying too much on income from medicines. It is estimated that income from the sale of medicines makes up 50 percent of a hospital"s revenue on an average. What is supposed to make the difference is the move"s intention to get rid of the unhealthy tendency of doctors prescribing expensive drugs for their own or their hospital"s profits rather than for the rehabilitation of patients. The government"s good intention could be just wishful thinking if no specific measures were taken to break the nexus between representatives of medicine manufactures and doctors or between hospitals and manufacturers. It is an open secret that some doctors get kickbacks from drug manufacturers for prescribing their drugs. This move will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm hospitals have to urge their doctors to prescribe expensive drugs. It is still too early to say how much the new policy will improve the service doctors provide to their patients and reduce the cost of healthcare since it will only be practiced in some hospitals on a trial basis for three years. Cutting down expensive healthcare bills and improving the quality of service require more investigations into the problem areas of the healthcare system. Hopefully , this is just a start that will be followed up by more practical moves to make it easier and cheaper for more people to get quality healthcare service. |
1. What is the expected result of the new policy? |
A. Hospitals will have more enthusiasm in prescribing expensive drugs. B. Hospitals will have more enthusiasm in prescribing cheap drugs. C. Patients will pay less and receive better service. D. Doctors will not be able to get kickbacks from drug manufacturers any more. |
2. What can be inferred from the passage? |
A. The new policy will be adopted in all hospitals. B. The Health Ministry is not definitely sure whether the new policy will achieve expected result. C. The cost of healthcare will drop the moment the policy is adopted. D. Hospitals will suffer a lot as long as the policy is adopted. |
3. What does the underlined word" nexus" ( Paragraph 2) probably mean? |
A. Bad relationship. B. Good relationship. C. Promise. D. Management. |
4. What is the best title for the passage? |
A. A good first step in China"s healthcare reform. B. Less cost,better service. C. Good policy for hospitals. D. China"s healthcare system. |

In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots (点) . During the following years , farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often. The circles are called "crop circles" because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or com. The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken;it continues to grow, and farmers can later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at night. They appear only in the months from May to September. At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a Joke or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax , people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn" t do it. They couldn " t enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn " t flatten the grain without breaking it. Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate(交流) with us and that the crop circles are messages from them. Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations; crop circles often appear in groups , like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those. |

A. air movement B. airplane crashes C. new farming techniques D. unknown flying objects |

As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. " The woods " was our part-time address,destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend"s house and found him not at home, his mother might say,"Oh.he"s out in the woods." with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It"s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I"m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym,or even "away from his desk".For us ten-year-olds, " being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while. We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods ,throwing rocks, shooting frogs , picking blackberries , digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound. Often we got "Lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical; the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in. It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March.the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree,and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria. |
