available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in
constant touch with each other via electronic mail. "If the automobile and aerospace technology had
exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says Microsoft, "a new car would
cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 747 for the cost
of a pizza."
Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in
producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than
men could turn out in nearly a year. "We view the growth of the Internet and e-commerce as a global
trend," says Merrill Lynch, "along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity."
You would be hard pressed to name something that isn"t available on the Internet. Consider: books,
health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics,
antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. And even after
you"ve moved on to your final resting place, there"s no reason those you love can"t keep in touch. A
company called FinalThoughts.com offers a place for you to store "afterlife e-mails" you can send to
Heaven with the help of a "guardian angel".
Kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the United States will remain the
unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable (能预测的) future. Nearly all children in families
with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the David and
Lucile Packard Foundation. Youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the Internet. Most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more
a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with
friends they have just left.
What"s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever growing part of our lives and
there is no turning back. "The Internet is just 20% invented," says cyber pioneer Jake Winebaum. "The
last 80% is happening now."
B. Information technology is developing at an amazing speed.
C. Information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult.
D.There"s more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.
B. almost anything is available on the Internet
C. people can find good bargains on the Internet
D. some websites provide novel services to increase hits
B. Many American children don"t put computers to good use.
C. Studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls.
D. The U.S. will stay ahead in the information technology in years.

its effect when it can"t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
◆Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
◆Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can"t sleep
well enough, or if you"re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations
. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
◆Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don"t forget, play can be just as important to your
overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go
window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you
enjoy.
◆Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there"s so much to do, and not enough time".
Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve
anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each
task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.
B. You have a break after work.
C. You always feel happy and relaxed.
D. You only do one thing at a time.
B. Do one thing at a time.
C. Only do the most important thing.
D. Have a break from your work.
B. To give suggestions.
C. To make a request.
D. To ask for advice.
B. How to Make Time for Yourself?
C. How to Take Care of Yourself?
D. How to Make a List of Things to Do?
B. always listen to pop music
C. insist on doing work
D. make a list to do things one by one

The crisis at the damaged Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in northern Japan has raised
worries about radiation risks. We spoke Tuesday with Jonathan Links, an expert in radiation health
sciences. He is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.
Professor Links says workers within the nuclear plant are the only people at risk of extremely high doses
of radiation.
JONATHAN LINKS: "Of course, we don"t know what doses they"ve received, but the only persons
at risk of acute radiation effects are the workers."
For other people, he says, there may be a long-term worry. People can get cancer from low doses of
ionizing radiation, the kind released in a nuclear accident.
Professor Links says scientists can use computers to quickly model where radioactive material has
blown and settled. Then they measure how large an area is contaminated. He says if the situation is
serious enough, officials could take steps like telling people not to eat locally grown food or drink the
water.
JONATHAN LINKS: "But that would only be the case if there was a significant release and,
because of wind direction, the radioactive material was blown over the area, and then settled out of the
air into and onto water, plants, fruits and vegetables."
The reactors at Fukushima are on the Pacific coast. But Professor Links says people should not
worry about any radioactive material leaking into the ocean.
JONATHAN LINKS: "Even in a worst-case scenario accident, the sea provides a very high degree of
dilution. So the concentration of radioactivity in the seawater would still be quite low."
Japan is the only country to have had atomic bombs dropped on it. That memory from World War
Two would create a stronger "psychological sensitivity" to radiation exposure, Professors Links says.
Next month is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the explosion and fire that destroyed a reactor at
Chernobyl in Ukraine. The nineteen eighty-six event was the world"s worst accident in the nuclear power
industry.
A new United Nations report says more than six thousand cases of thyroid cancer have been found.
These are in people who were children in affected areas of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The report says
that by two thousand five the cancers had resulted in fifteen deaths.
The cancers were largely caused by drinking contaminated milk. The milk came from cows that ate
grass where radioactive material had fallen.

阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的
最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。
you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from
A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don"t need
to use.
1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your
offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain
these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English
teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I"ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our
middle school. I told the students to "get a copy!" It"s good stuff! Fantastic!
3. I"m one of Yao"s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English
Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me?
Thank you very much indeed.
4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really
good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us
some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should
give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more
accurately. Thank you!
5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the
position of the paper e.g., 总编 责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in
English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I
need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way
to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words
around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it"s good to look up the words and then mark them
down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try
using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy
of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles
such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If
you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I"ll try to answer.
C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write
him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in
sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he"s living and playing in
Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046
D.Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you"re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure
there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep
improving, so thank you.
E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We
contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the
articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some
information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We"re glad it"s helpful to your students. We always try to
include articles that reflect real life. It"s our hope that CR will not only improve student"s English but also
open up a different worldview.
today. Experiments with an honesty box to collect payments for hot drinks show that people are better at
paying up when under the gaze (注视) of a pair of eyes. The surprise was that the eyes were not real, but photographed.
Researchers at Newcastle University set up the experiment in secret. They attached a poster to a
cupboard of mugs above an-honesty box alongside a kettle ,with tea, coffee and milk. Over 10 weeks,
they alternated each week between images of eyes and pictures of flowers.
Dr. Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study, said that even though the eyes were not real
they still seemed to make people behave more honestly. They effect may arise from behavioral
characteristics that developed as early humans formed social groups that increased their chances of
survival. Individuals had to co-operate for the good of the group, rather than act selfishly.
"If nobody is watching us it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we think we"re being
watched we should behave better, so people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards
us, "Dr. Bateson said.
"We thought we"d get a slight effect with eyes, but it was quite striking how much difference they
made. Even at a subconscious (潜意识的) level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be
because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved (进化) to respond to."
The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to
practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could promote ticket sales on public transport and
improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.
B. an honesty box to collect money
C. evolution on honesty
D. an experiment on honesty
B. had known they wanted to do something illegally
C. meant to get the co-operation of their colleagues
D. intended to sell the hot drinks at a higher price
B. they fear to be laughed at by others
C. they"ve got the nature through evolution
D. they take the photo for a real pair of eyes
B. makes something easier to understand
C. comes upon something by accident
D. brings something into the broad daylight
