| Almost 40 years ago, a community service organization started providing eye care in Gujarat State, in western India. The Rotary Club of Navsari operates an eye hospital and 9 area eye centers in and around Navsari, whose services are for the poorest people. The group opened the hospital, the Rotary Eye Institute of Navsari, in 1970. Institute officials say India has only about one ophthalmologist for every 120,000 people. The Institute, however, has ten such specially trained eye doctors. It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of patients. Many people far from the city. Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to see patients. People go to their nearest camp, for conditions including glaucoma (青光眼), night blindness and other problems. Some people are found to have cataracts, abnormal growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight. India has about 13 million people with the condition. Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem. Rotary groups also operate eye banks. Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died. One such center is the Rotary Rajan Eye Bank. It operates in cooperation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai. The Eye Bank opened in 1996. Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since then. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that transmits light. 2 million people in India are blind because of problems of the cornea. The Rotary Rajan Eye Bank holds continuing eye donation campaigns. It urges people to leave the gift of sight to others when they die. |

| The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist (恐布分子) with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic (电磁) interference (干扰). The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones. RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit (禁止) passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights. The difficulty is prediction how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music is too loud. |
| 1. The passage is mainly about _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. effective safety measure of aircraft crashes B. a possible cause for air flight accidents C. the defects (缺点) of electronic devices D. a new regulation for all airlines |
| 2. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years? |
|
[ ] |
| A. They may have taken place during take-off and landing. B. They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems. C. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference. D. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers' portable computers. |
| 3. Few airlines want to impose (强加) a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on B. they don't believe there is such a danger as radio interference C. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved D. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players |
| 4. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane's computers? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Because experts lack adequate equipment to d such research. B. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane. C. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to e interfered with. D. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs. |
| 5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. hasn't formed his own pinion on this problem B. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference C. thinks it is unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight D. is in favor of prohibiting passengers' use of electronic devices completely |

| According to a recent survey on money and relationships, 36% of people are keeping a bank account from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection. With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship. The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships, job and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an "escape fund". Margaret's story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings. Every month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000. Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings he'd be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn't sure of the marriage. "He'd think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure." Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money. Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Taken Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner. "I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own. I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day." |

[ ] |
| A. She is a unique woman. B. She was once divorced. C. She is going to retire. D. She has many children. |
| 4. The author mentions Colleen's example to show _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. any couple can avoid marriage conflicts B. privacy within marriage should be respected C. everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage D. financial disclosure is not necessarily bad |

| Walking is a popular form of exercise. It is an easy activity and offers a good way to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds of exercise. Regular, brisk walks help a person's body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart and healthier lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between beats.
