On British Newspapers
Besides the daily newspapers, there are anumber of Sunday newspapers in Britain.Many of them are connected with the “dailies”, though not run by the sameeditor and his members.

Their covers are designedto catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so! They offer theirreaders articles on cookery (烹饪法), fashion,needlework, and many other matters of women interest. They also provide adviceto those in love, and adventures with handsome heroes. Some womens magazinesalso include serious articles of more general interest.
The visitor who looks at the magazinesdisplayed in a large bookstall (书摊) which may be foundin an important railway station will notice that there is a wide variety oftechnical or semitech-nical(半专业的) books and magazines.There are magazines for the motorist, the farmer, the gardener, the nurse, andmany others.
There are many local and regional newspapers.It is common in Britain for a news agent(报刊经售人) todeliver (投递) the morning papers to his customers for asmall extra payment, this service is usually performed by boys and girls whowant to earn some pocket-money.

第一篇
Urban Rainforest
On the west side of the island of Manhattan inNew York City, tree by tree, leaf by leaf, a 2,500 square foot sector of the CentralAfrican Republics Dzanga Ndoki Rainforest has been transported to, orrecreated at, the American Museum of Natural Historys new half of biodiversity.When the hall opens this May, visitors will visit one of the worlds biggestand most accurate reproduction of one of natures most threatened creations.
To bring the rainforest to New York, a team ofnearly two dozen scientists--the largest collecting expedition the museum hasever organised for an exhibit--spent five weeks in the African rainforestcollecting soil, plants, and leaves; recording and documenting species; studyingtrees; shooting videotape and still photos; and interviewing local people. “Thisarea has been explored very little,” says Hoel Cracraft who estimates that the museum willeventually collect 150 to 180 mammals, more than 300 species of birds, hundredsof butterflies, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of organisms. Theexhibition may even have produced a special prize--scientists suspect they haveuncovered several new species.
To give the forest a sense of realness, theback wall of the exhibit is an enormous video-screen, sounds will come out fromhidden speakers, and plans even call or forest smells. Computer controls willvary the effects so that no two walkthroughs will ever be exactly the same.
After the team returned to New York, the forest was reproduced with thehelp of the computer. Computer modelling programmes plotted distances andspecial relationships. Artists studied photos and brought what they saw to life.Plaster trees were made. Recreated animals began to stand in the rainforest ofthe hall. Flying creatures will hang from the ceiling. The light in the forest-one of the exhibits cleverest re-creations--will seem real. Longtube lights will have the correct colour and temperature to produce a naturaleffect. The plants and animals exhibited throughout the hall exist naturally ina perfect balance-remove one, and the whole is imperfect if not endangered. Theexhibit is proof to the hope that the worlds rain-forests will never existsolely as a carefully preserved artifact.

U.S. Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer
Death rates from cancer tare falling for allAmericans, but black Americans are still more likely to died of cancer thanwhites, the American Cancer Society said Monday.
In a special report on cancer and blacks, theorganization said blacks are usually diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
This could be because of unequal access tomedical care, because blacks are more likely to have other diseases likediabetes as well, and perhaps because of differences in the biology of thecancer itself, the report added.
“In general, African Americans have lesslikelihood of surviving five years after diagnosis than whites for all cancersites and all stages of diagnosis,” the report said.
“In describing cancer statistics for AfricanAmericans, this report recognizes that socioeconomic disparities and unequalaccess to medical care may underlie many of the differences associated withrace,” the cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-upsearlier, when cancer is more treatable, and it said more research was needed tosee if biological differences play a role.
“The new statistics emphasize the continuingimportance of eliminating these social disparities through public policy andeducation efforts,” the organization said in a statement.
But it also noted a drop in cancer deathrates.
“Cancer death rates in both sexes for allsites combined have declined substantially among African Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates,” says the report.
“Increased efforts to improve economicconditions in combination with education about the relationship of lifestylechoices to cancer could further reduce the burden of cancer among AfricanAmericans.”
About 36 million Americans describe themselvesas black, representing about 12 percent of the population.
36、Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than __________.
A、white people all over the world
B、white people in America
C、all other Americans
D、their ancestors
37、All the following are probably related to higher cancer death ratesamong black Americans EXCEPT __________.
A、access to medical care.
B、lifestyle choices.
C、economic conditions. Percentage of the population.
D、percentage of the population.
38、Cancer is more treatable if it is detected __________.
A、in an early stage
B、together with other diseases
C、during checkups
D、in elderly people
39、Amore research is needed to see if there is a link betweenbiological differences and __________.
A、cancer sites
B、stages of diagnosis
C、cancer death rates
D、socioeconomic disparities
40、Since 1992, cancer incidence rates among black Americans __________.
A、have been going up and down
B、have remained stable
C、have increased
D、have fallen

Cousteau Remembered
Jacques-Ives Cousteau died in Paris on 26 June, 1997 at the age of 87. Hisinfluence is great. Scientists respected his creative engineering; engineerspraised his science. Cousteau, who claimed to be neither scientist norengineer, contributed significantly to both disciplines—and to many more.
Throughout his adventure-filled life, Cousteauchallenged definitions. Yes, he was a captain in the French Navy, and early on,a filmmaker and natural storyteller. Later, he became a famous ocean explorer,designer of underwater equipment, expedition leader, author, speaker,businessman, environmentalist, teacher and leader of an influential organization(the Cousteau Society).
All who care about the sea—and even those who dont think much about the ocean one way oranother—owe Cousteau a tremendous debt. The knowledgegained as a consequence of his direct contributions, and the strong impact hehad on others, have transformed the way the world thinks about the sea. Hisstories of encounters with sharks and other fish inspired many to go seethemselves. Cousteau pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960s: sub-sealabs where scientists submerged for days or weeks-theunderwater labs similar to Skylab or the space station. His films andtelevision programmes won two Academy Rewards, three Emnies, and the hearts andminds of viewers worldwide for decades.
Showered with honours, Cousteau remarkedrecently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make peopleaware of-and care about-the ocean: Thanks to him, we grew concerned about our growingpopulation and the consequences of over fishing and ocean pollution that threatenthe health of the sea, and we were inspired to do something to improve the waythings are done.
We shared the sad feeling with Cousteau whenSimone, his wife and partner for many years, died and when his son Phillippewas killed in a plane crash. We shared his joy when Jean-Michel, his eldestson, became an explorer and a spokesman for the sea in his own right. We werehappy for Cousteau when he began a new family with his second wife, Fracine.And now that his voice of the ocean is silenced, we feel very sad.
41、According to the passage, Cousteaus influence is great because he__________.
A、was both a scientist and an engineer
B、invented Skylab
C、made contributions to science and engineering
D、was a captain in the French Navy
42、From the second paragraph, we know that __________.
A、Cousteau did not like any scientific definitions
B、Cousteau wrote many adventure-filled stories
C、Cousteaus main job was protecting environment
D、Cousteaus contributions were not limited to science and engineering
43、Of all the careers he followed, his main concern was concentrated on_________.
A、building the sub-water labs
B、ocean and ocean pollution
C、making films and television programmes
D、writing encounters with sea animals, such as sharks
44、What debt do we owe Cousteau according to Paragraphs 3 and 4?__________
A、His work has made us realize we should improve the way things aredone.
B、His contributions have pushed science toward a higher stage ofdevelopment.
C、His invention of sub-sea labs has made ocean exploration easier.
D、His adventures have made people go and see the sea.
45、Which of the following statement about Cousteaus family life is NOTtrue? _________
A、His second wife died some time ago.
B、His son Philippe was killed in a plane crash.
C、His first wife died before Cousteau.
D、His elder son became the spokesman for the sea.

How to Jump Queue Fury
If you find yourself waiting in a long queueat an airport or bus terminus this holiday, will you try to analyze what it isabout queuing that makes you angry? Or will you just get angry with the nearestofficial?
Professor Richard Larson, an electricalengineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hates queuing but ratherthan tear his hair out, he decided to study the subject. 46. He cites anexperiment at Houstonairport where passengers had to walk for one minute from the plane to thebaggage reclaim and then wait a further seven minutes to collect their luggage.Complaints were frequent, especially from those who had spent seven minutes watchingpassengers with just hand baggage get out immediately.
The airport authorities decided to lengthenthe walk from the aircraft, so that instead of a one-minute fast walk, thepassengers spent six minutes walking 47 The extra walk extended thedelay by five minutes for those carrying only hand baggage, but passenger complaintsdropped almost to zero.
The reason? Larson suggests that it all has todo with what he calls “social justice”. If people see others taking a shortcut, they will find the wait unbearable. 48
Another aspect Larson studied was theobservation that people get more fed up if they are not told what is going on. 49
But even knowing how long we have to waitisnt the whole answer. We must also believe that everything is being done tominimize our delay. Larson cites the example of two neighboring American banks.One was highly computerized and served a customer, on average, every 30 seconds.50.But because the tellers at the second bank looked extremely busy, customersbelieved the service was faster and many transferred their accounts to theslower bank. Ultimately, the latter had to introduce time-wasting ways ofappearing more dynamic.
A、So in the case of the airport, it was preferable to delay everyone.
B、The other bank was less automated and took twice as long.
C、When they finally arrived at the baggage reclaim, the delay was thenonly two minutes.
D、His first finding, which backs up earlier work at the US NationalScience Foundation, was that the degree of annoyance was not directly relatedto the time.
E、Its unbearable for the airport to delay everyone.
F、Passengers told that there will be a half-hour delay are lessunhappy than those left waiting even twenty minutes without an explanation.

Man and Computer
What makes people different from computerprograms? What is the missing element that our theories dont yet 51 for?The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories 52 a reason to learn more about what they areinterested in. Computers, on the other hand, dont. In fact, computers dont 53 have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find outwhen they read. If a computer 54 is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a “purpose”.
Of course, people have several goals that donot make 55 to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guidein order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to 56 a good place to go for a businesslunch. Computers do not 57, and computers do not have business lunches.
However, these physiological and social goalsgive 58 to several intellectual or cognitive(认知的) goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find 59 about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food, howexpensive the restaurant is, the 60 of the restaurant, etc. These aregoals to 61information or knowledge, what we are calling 62 goals. These goals can be held by computers too a computer might “want” to findout the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so 63 the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not 64 out ofhunger in the case of the computer, it might 65 rise out of the “goal”to learn more about restaurants,

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up1 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers.2
3 These findings, which Dr Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine3, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside4 more than 8 hours a night He added that “it might be a good idea” for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep — for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having fatigue interfere with day-to- day functioning5.
6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 88 hours In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed “It stands to reason6 that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake,” he said.
词汇：

1.clock up：时间达到
2.they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers：falling和feeling都是说明trouble的。全句可译为：与8小时睡眠者相比，他们在入睡和经过一夜睡眠恢复精力方面有更多的麻烦。
3.Psychosomatic Medicine：《心身医学》(医学杂志名)
4.set aside：留出
5.having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning：感到疲乏影响日常工作。

答案与题解：
1.E 第二段列举了睡眠时间多于或少于8小时而带来的多种sleep problems。
2.B 第四段阐述了长期睡眠不足所带来的严重后果。
3.A 第五段介绍了Kripke的调查工具(tool)。他用的是有关睡眠的问卷。问卷包括两大内容：睡眠时间及睡眠困扰问题。
4.D 第六段最后两句是：“... one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.”和“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”这是选择D的依据。
5.F 选择F的依据是第三段第一句。原文是：“... people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night.”
6.E 选择E的依据是第六段第一句。原文是：“... people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. ”
7.A 本题答案的依据是第五段第二句：“Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep ...”
8.C 本题答案的依据是第四段：“... one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.”
译文：每晚只需8小时，睡眠过多非益事
睡眠不足带来的危害已经广为人知，而一项新的研究表明睡眠过多同样会使人们产生不良后果。
圣地亚哥加利福尼亚大学的研究人员发现在入睡、保持睡眠等方面，每晚睡眠9或10小时的人比睡8小时的人存在更多问题。而每晚仅睡7小时的人则表示，他们在入睡及休息后精力恢复程度上不及8小时睡眠者。
Daniel Kripke博士在《心身医学》杂志上报告的这些新发现表明，人们如果想晚上休息好，每天留给睡眠的时间只需8小时。他补充说，对于那些每晚睡8小时以上的人们来说，考虑减少在床上度过的时间“也许是个好主意”。不过他又提醒说这还需要进一步的研究证实。
以往的研究证明了长期睡眠缺乏的潜在危机。有报告显示，睡眠经常少于7小时的人比睡眠充足者，在特定时期内死亡的机率更高。
而在目前这份报告中，Kripke考评了一份1004名成年人参与反馈的睡眠调查问卷。问卷内容涉及每周睡眠时间和各种可能的睡眠问题，包括半夜惊觉，清晨早醒，无法重新入睡，以及白天疲劳，影响日常工作等。
Kripke发现每晚9至10小时睡眠者比睡8小时的人更容易出现各类睡眠问题。在次访谈中，Kripke注意到睡眠时间长的人夜间可能难以入眠，正是因为他们睡得太多了。因此他补充说，治疗失眠最好的一种方法就是少睡点儿。“在床上花得时间过长，醒着的时间就会更多，这是理所当然的。”
