| BEIJING-Pharmacologist Tu Youyou has become the first scientist on the mainland to win America's respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment. The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on September 23, 2011 in New York. Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation's website. In early 1969, Tu was appointed head of a government project that aimed to eradicate(消灭) malaria, and it was then that she began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug therapy for malaria. After detecting (检测) 380 extracts (提取物) made from 2,000 candidate recipes, Tu and her colleagues obtained a pure substance called "Qinghaosu", which became known as artemisinin in 1972. An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the World Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said a statement from the foundation. The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945. Lasker Awards are known as "America's Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future recognition by the Nobel committee.

| Ask savvy investors(投资者) how they learned their first lessons about money, and they'll probably tell you lessons their parents taught them. The money values we learn as children stay with us the rest of our lives. If you are a parent, teaching your children the value of saving and investing will benefit them the rest of their lives. Here's what you can do: Help your child begin to save. Open savings accounts for your children, and teach them how the bank adds interest to their savings that makes their money grow. Encourage your children to save a little from every bit of money they receive, such as allowances, birthday gifts, etc. You may even want to set up a matching program, contributing fifty cents for each dollar your child saves. Teach your child about stocks(股票). A child in elementary school can start learning about how businesses work. Once your child understands the basics, ask him or her to think about some of the businesses that might be good stock investments. Then use Morningstar Mutual Fund Guide(available at your library)to find a quality mutual fund that holds some of these companies, or a mutual fund that caters to children such as the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund. Many funds accept regular monthly investments as low as $50 a month, so these funds can be a good way to teach children about the stock market while saving for their college education. Encourage early IRA(个人退休金账户)saving. The new Roth IRA is a great way for children who are working in summers or after school to begin saving for their future. Imagine how much money you'd have today if you had saved $3,000 a year since you were a teenager! Let your kids handle their own money. We all learn by doing, so letting your kids manage a segment of their budget(预算)will let them earn valuable financial lessons.They may make mistakes, but they will be small mistakes that may help them avoid larger mistakes as adults. |
| 1. Which would be the best title for this passage? |
| A. Why to Teach Your Children to Save B. How to Teach Your Children to Save C. Tips for Saving for Children D. Start Good Saving Habits Early |
| 2. A matching program means ________. |
| A. that you should set a good example to your children B. that you should provide enough money for children so that they can save some C. that you encourage your children to compete with each other in saving D. that you encourage your children by giving some extra money for them to save |
| 3. According to the author, you should teach your children about investment when he/she is ________. |
| A. in the kindergarten B. in primary school C. in middle school D. in college |
| 4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Stein Roe Young Investor Fund? |
| A. It is usually with high benefits. B. It accepts regular monthly investments. C. It accepts small investments as low as $50 a month. D. It caters to children who can afford small investments. |
| 5. The advantage of letting your kids manage their budget lies in ________. |
| A. that they will make great businessmen in the future B. that they will know the difficulty of managing a budget C. that they will avoid making bigger mistakes in the future D. that they will share happiness of managing their own budget |

| Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows. In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼)and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need. But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages. |
| 1. The underlined phrase "a residential area" means an area________. |
| A. where people can buy things B. which is suitable for living in C. where people can do business D. which is near a city center |
| 2. Why do people move to live in cities or towns? |
| A. Because they can live more comfortably there. B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life. C. Because they mainly want to find work there. D. Because they are sure of having a better life there. |
| 3. Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district? |
| A. Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district. B. People usually work and live in the business district. C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown. D. Nearly every major city has its own business district. |
| 4. In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________. |
| A. and live there B. but live in the suburbs of the city C. and live in another city D. but live in rural areas |
| 5. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________. |
| A. has been going on for more than 2,000 years B. will surely continue in the future C. may not continue in the future D. has now stopped already |

| The first mobile telephones used a system, or network, called 1G. It was the "first generation" of technology. This allowed one person to call and talk to another person, but that was all. By the early 1990s, the second generation, or 2G network, came into use. It allowed talking and sending text messages. By that time, cell phones were much smaller and cost much less. Thirdgeneration mobile phones are known as 3G. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker. This means users can have highspeed Internet access and enjoy video and CDquality music on their phones. "Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option but a requirement," said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month. With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home. Don't worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset. However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live twoway video communication, you can have facetoface talks with friends and family on your mobile phone. Within the past two years, the 4G network has come into use. It permits cell phones to work much faster and have much more information. Modern cell phones can even act as small televisions. They can show movies and live sporting events. As the networks have gotten more complex, the telephones have gotten smaller, lighter and less costly. Many electronics stores in the United States even give away the newest cell phones. But customers must agree to pay to use the network that sends their calls from one place to another. It is interesting to imagine what the 5G and 6G network cell phones of the future will be able to do. Title: 1.________of mobile telephones | ||||||||||||

| For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. After all, the word "pub" is actually short for " public house"． As a result of this sort of history, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called "Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem", which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England. However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price. That's how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs. As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be "working men's clubs", meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all. |
