| Twenty-six years after a terrible bicycle accident left her comatose (昏迷) for two months and with permanent brain injuries ,Barbara Buchan, performs many actions more slowly than others. But on September 10 in Beijing , Buchan , at 52 , the oldest member of the United States Paralympic team, broke the record and won the gold medal for her disability class in the individual 3 , 000-meter cycling pursuit. " You can be very upset and have everyone take care of you , " Buchan said by telephone from Beijing, " or get back on your feet again." Buchan first dreamed of Olympic gold at 15 while watching the 1972 Munich Cames. She became a top American cyclist by July 1982,when a terrible road-race crash injured her brain and left doctors doubtful about whether she would survive. She was wearing only a soft leather helmet at the time : her accident made the rule put into practice that cyclists wear the hard shell helmets that are now common. Buchan recovered enough of her athletic ability to run track in the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul,where she won a silver medal in the 800 meters. Women's cycling was not included in the Paralympics yet. So Buchan trained to the point where she raced against men in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney, Australia-she finished 9th and 10th in two races-and then successfully fought for a separate women's cycling program beginning in 2004 in Athens,where she did not get a medal. Even though she was approaching her 50s, Buchan kept racing and again made the United States Paralympic team for Beijing-where she is twice the age of most of her teammates and competitors. " Barbara's almost the leader of our team-she's been through it all," said Craig Griffin, the United States cycling coach. " She's never retired. She's never let her body go and then come back. I don't think age is as big of a deal as people make it out to be. " |

| A study involving 8 ,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings , the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before. University tuition fees (学费) are currently capped at ￡3 , 000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the govemment is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling. In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 percent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be eaming on average ￡31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just ￡17 ,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than ￡10 , 000. Average debts for graduates are ￡12 ,363. Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, "The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively. " Ministers are deeply concemed about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15 , from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money. |

| A. are too young to be exposed to financial issues B. should learn to manage their finances well C. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loans D. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance |

| Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess,if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were bumt away. Similarly , if pain existed but fear did not,a child would bum itself again and again , because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless soldier-and some do exist-is not a good soldier because he is soon killed;and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example ,you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe:a plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof , and they later may fall on you , or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you , but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example , you see a car coming straight towards you ; fear warns you , you jump out of the way , and all is OK. In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house , and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case , fear has given you its waming;you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you , and you have to try to overcome it. |
| 1. Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if_______. |
| A. they were given no warning beforehand B. they didn't have any sense ofpain at all C. they had never burnt themselves D. they felt afraid of the fire |
| 2. A really fearless soldier_________. |
| A. is of a little use to his army B. is not afraid of battles at all C. is nothing but a dead soldier D. is easy to get killed in a battle |
| 3. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because________. |
| A. they are warned of the danger and take quick action B. they are quick both in mind and in action C. they are calm in face of danger D. they have gained much experience |
| 4. It is implied but not stated that________. |
| A. fear is always something helpful B. too much fear is harmful C. fear should be used as a servant and guide D. fear is something strange and particular |

| The global energy crisis is approaching. What can we do? Here are some steps you can take. Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid (电网 ). Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filter monthly or as needed. For central air conditioning systems and room air conditioners , look for the ENERCY STAR, the federal government's symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratia( SEER) . Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning. Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning , fans allow you to raise the thermostat (恒温器) and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. so before you leave; tum off the ceiling fan. Let a programmable thermostat " remember for you " to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day while you are at work. Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent. Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof. Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day , or fix shading equipment to avoid heat build-up. Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯),which provide bright,warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent less beat and lasting up t0 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs(白炽灯). Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year. Carpool. The average US commuter(乘车上班族) could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a week with two other people in a car that gets 20. 1 mpg-assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas. |
