Last week“s report from the Intelligence and Security Committee included the revelation that some of the intelligence had warned that a

Why did Mr. Blair not make this evidence available to the public in the way that so much of the alarmist intelligence on Saddam“s weapons was published?【F2】 Why did he choose to ignore the intelligence and argue instead that the war was neces

There have been two parliamentary investigations into this war and the Hutton inquiry reopens tomorrow.【F3】 In their different ways they have been illuminating, but none of them has addressed the main issues relating to the war.

The Intelligence Committee reached the conclusion that the Government“s file on Saddam“s weapons was not mixed up, but failed to explain why the intelligence

8、 was so hopelessly wrong. The Hutton inquiry is investigating the death of Dr. David Kelly, a personal tragedy of marginal relevance to the war against Iraq. Tony Blair has still to come under close examination about his conduct in the building-up to war. Instead, the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon,

9、is being fingered as if he were master-minding the war behind everyone“s backs from the Ministry of Defence. Mr. Hoon is not a minister who dares to think without consulting Downing Street first. At all times he would have been dancing to Downing Street“s tunes. Mr. Blair would be wrong to assume th

16、F4】 In tests on 167 children who played piano or other instruments, they found their answer to personality tests could predict how likely it was for them to continue their music lessons. Those who were more outgoing and conscientious were more likely to continue to play. “We were motivated by the fa

18、 【F5】 Asked if so-called helicopter parents were wasting their money sending their children to music lessons in the belief they could boost their school results, he said “yes“. “Clearly studying music changes the brain, but so does any learning. In fact, that is what learning is.“ he said.（分数：10.00

20、sociated with an indestructible material substance, with some “stuff“ of which all things were thought to be made. Relativity theory showed that mass has nothing to do with any substance, but is a form energy. Energy, however, is a dynamic quantity associated with activity, or with processes.【F2】 Th

21、e fact that the mass of a particle is equivalent to a certain of energy means that the particle can no longer be seen as a static object, but has to be conceived as a dynamic pattern. This new view of particles was initiated by Dirac when he formulated a relativistic equation describing the behavior

22、 of electrons.【F3】 Dirac“s theory was not only extremely successful in accounting for the fine details of atomic structure, but also revealed a fundamental symmetry between matter and anti-matter. It predicted the existence of an anti-matter with the same mass as the electron but with an opposite ch

23、arge. This positively charged particle, now called the positron, was indeed discovered two years after Dirac had predicted it. The symmetry between matter and anti-matter implies that for every particle there exists an antiparticles with equal mass and opposite charge. Pairs of particles and antipar

24、ticles can be created if enough energy is available and can be made to turn into pure energy in the reverse process of destruction.【F4】 These processes of particle creation and destruction had been predicted from Dirac“s theory before they were actually discovered in nature, and since then they have

25、 been observed millions of times. The creation of material particles from pure energy is certainly the most spectacular effect of relativity theory, and it can only be understood in terms of the view of particles outlined above.【F5】 Before relativistic particle physics, the constituents of matter ha

26、d always been considered as being either elementary units which were indestructible and unchangeable, or as composite objects which could be broken up into their constituent parts. The basic question was whether one could divide matter again and again, or whether one would finally arrive at some sma
