The school is 1 about 80 kilometers north of New York City. West Point is the oldest continuously 2 military p
16、ost in the United States. General George Washington built a fort there during the 3 War to protect the Hudson River from the British. He moved his 4 to West Point in 1779 during the war. In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson signed 5 to establish the military academy. The education 6 engineering. West
17、 Point graduates designed many roads, bridges, 7 and railways for the young nation. Today, math and science are still a large part of the education. But cadets can choose from almost 50 areas of study. If cadets 8 the humanities, they must have an engineering minor. Not all the young men and women a
18、t West Point are American. Up to 60 cadets can be international students this year. International students are 9 by their governments. They must satisfy physical and educational requirements and do well on the Test of English as a Foreign Language. After graduation, they return home to serve in thei
19、r nation“s armed forces. Other services besides the Army also accept foreign students at their academies.

According to the study, a 1 shift in how we gather information and communicate with one another has touched off an era of
21、rapid evolution that may 2 change the human brain as we know it. The impact of technology on our brain should not come as a 3 . Professional musicians have more gray matter in brain regions 4 for planning finger movements. And athletes“ brains are bulkier in areas that 5 hand-eye coordination. That“
22、s because the more time you devote to a specific activity, the stronger the neural (神经系统的) pathways responsible for executing that activity become. So it makes 6 that people who process a constant stream of digital information would have more neurons dedicated to filtering (过滤) that information. To
23、see how the Internet might be rewiring us, the brains of 24 adults were 7 as they performed a simulated Web search, and again as they read a page of text. During the Web search, those who reported using the Internet 8 in their everyday lives showed twice as much signaling in brain regions responsibl
24、e for decision-making and complex reasoning, compared with those who had 9 Internet exposure. The findings suggest that Internet use enhances the brain“s 10 to be stimulated, and that Internet reading activates more brain regions than printed words.

The Food and Drug Administration(FDA)which has chosen nine images to be placed prominently
26、on cigarette packs sold in the USA after Sep. 2010hopes they“ll provide enough shock value. In the most sweeping anti-tobacco effort since the Surgeon General“s warning became forced on cigarette packaging in 1965, the FDA said Tuesday it will begin requiring tobacco marketers to cover the top half
27、of cigarette boxes and 20% of tobacco advertisements with nine bluntly graphic anti-smoking images. B. The goal: reduce consumption among the nation“s 43 million smokers and prevent millions more, especially teens, from ever starting. The FDA selected the terrible images, which include pictures of r
28、otting teeth and gums, from 36 proposed last year. Cigarette marketers also will be required to place 1-800-QUIT-NOW numbers on new packaging. “These labels are frank, honest and powerful depictions of the health risks of smoking,“ said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “With th
29、ese warnings, every person who picks up a pack of cigarettes is going to know exactly what risk they“re taking.“ The images are the biggest change to cigarette warning labels since 1984, when the government began requiring cigarette packs and tobacco ads carry several health warnings. C. Cigarette c
30、onsumption has dropped from about 42% of the population since the mid-1960s, but has remained at about 21% since 2003, or about one in five adults, despite federal and state excise tax (特许权税) increases that have boosted prices to more than $ 5 a pack. D. The FDA“s movewhich faces a challenge by toba
31、cco marketers in federal appeals court next month after a lower court ruling upheld the government“s regulatory power over new packaging, imaging and warning labelsis a major advance for the anti-tobacco movement. E. “With 10 million cigarettes being sold every minute and more than 2000 children und
32、er the age of 18 starting to smoke each day, we don“t have a moment to lose in protecting the American public, especially children, from the harm caused by these dangerous products,“ says Marion, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科协会). “This is a huge step forward in encouraging ki
33、ds not to smoke and adults to quit,“ says Paul, vice president of policy for the American Lung Association. About 40 countries, including Canada and Mexico, already require similar warnings, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. F. Gregory, professor at Harvard University“s School of Publ
34、ic Health and director of its Center for Global Tobacco Control, says the images aren“t as scary and over the top as Canada“s images, which he notes have not lowered that nation“s smoking rates. “These messages are better,“ he says. “They show respect for smokers and adverse health consequences.“ A
35、recent international study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that generally, such images are effective. About 25% to more than 50% of smokers say they make them more likely to quit. G. Smokers and non-smokers were split on the potential impact. “It“s discrimination,“ says Dav
36、is, a 46-year-old Washington D.C. resident who says she has been smoking for 20 years. “They already hit us with all these taxes on cigarettes,“ Davis says. “Now they are making us put up with this. I know the risks of smoking. Why don“t they do something about alcohol addiction instead of always pi
37、cking on us?“ “I“ve seen before and it“s not pleasant to look at,“ a young man says. “But I“m used to people telling me not to smoke.“ Some health specialists say the warnings may offer only temporary warning effect and that smokers who repeatedly see such images may become insensitive to the messag
38、e about the health risks of smoking. H. Anti-smoking efforts aimed at kids produce mixed results. The American Legacy Foundation“s 11-year “Truth Campaign“, funded by the tobacco industry“s 1999 settlement with state governments, is considered among the most effective. The effort tells kids that tob
39、acco marketers want to attract them to smoke to replace the thousands of older smokers who die each year. Teens aware of the campaign were twice as likely as others to say they had no plans to start smoking, according to a 2008 study by Health Education Research. By contrast, teens who saw Philip “T
40、hink Don“t Smoke“ campaign had more positive attitudes toward tobacco companies. “The so-called youth prevention campaigns that the tobacco industry runs are a farce (闹剧),“ says Sward of the American Lung Association. I. A Harvard School of Public Health survey of 1000 US adults, being released toda
41、y, finds that more than 70% of Americans favor reducing nicotine (尼古丁) to non-addictive levels, but only half want a ban on cigarettes. J. Major cigarette makers have opposed labeling plans since the FDA was given the power to regulate tobacco products in 2009 under the Family Smoking Prevention and
42、 Tobacco Control Act. Brannon Cashion, president of branding consultants Addison Whitney, says tobacco marketers have done a good job dealing with growing anti-smoking efforts. What they need to do is stress innovation, such as developing low nicotine and electronic cigarettes, he says. K. On Wall S
43、treet, tobacco stocks were little changed. Philip parent Altria Group closed at $ 27. 31, down 1 cent, while Reynolds lost 8 cents to $ 38.17. Rival Lorillard gained 79 cents to $111. 89. “The cigarette companies are in an environment where their product is seen as dangerous,“ Cashion says. “ In ord
44、er to continue to manufacture the product, they have to continue to put innovations in place that can do everything possible to make as safe an environment as possible for those who smoke and the people most affected with their smoking.“ L. Convenience stores, which sell about 85% of the cigarettes
45、sold in this country, could take a hit because of the new labels. “A future beyond cigarettes could be complicated. You“ll see stores selling more items like food to make sure they aren“t hurt,“ Says Jeff, spokesman for the National Association of Convenience Stores.（分数：71.00）(1).The American Legacy
