3、ch 25 when a vehicle lost control while traveling on rain-soaked State Highway 6 near Baylor Camp Road.

4、dow and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith, 9, from the wreckage. The girls mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling with their baby sitter, Lisa Bowbin. Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the c
5、all informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene. Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires. “I was nervous,“ Bozeman said. “I dont feel like Im a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in tha
6、t situation. I hope someone would do the same for me. “ Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlife-threatening injuries. Mallory Smith broke both femurs(大腿骨 ), and Megan had neck and back injuries. Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis(盆骨 ), ankle a
7、nd foot. The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said. In addition, Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you“, Bozeman said. Those
8、involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together. “Whatever the circumstances, Tuesdays ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers, “ Beckie Smith said, “Were calling it The Mir

Before that time, la
13、rge computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use
14、 them. The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and
15、manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs a
16、utomatically outside office hours. But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units. The case of a slow loss of sig
17、ht among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them. Whatever the argument
18、s for or against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice. 6 Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because_. （ A） small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computers （ B） large computers could not do the work that
19、small companies can do today （ C） large computers did not come onto the market （ D） small companies did not need to use this new technology 7 According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is （ A） the saving of time and money （ B） the use of computers in big c
20、ompanies （ C） the wide use of word processors （ D） the decreasing number of secretaries 8 We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors_. （ A） some secretaries will lose their jobs （ B） daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours （ C） medical problems related to wo
21、rk with a VDU have increased （ D） the British companies will make less money 9 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor. （ B） The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors. （ C） The
22、technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years. （ D） Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses. 10 From the passage we can draw the conclusion that_. （ A） safety screens are of poor quality （ B） working a
23、t VDU for a long time is good for ones health （ C） more and more people in British offices will use word processors （ D） British companies will need fewer and fewer managers 10 Heart specialists at Pap-worth Hospital, Cambridge, have urged that the heart trans plant program be stopped. The hospitals
24、 three consultant cardiologists(心血管专家 )have written to Mr. Terence, the surgeon in charge of the transplant team, for the purpose of disconnecting themselves from his work and have sent a copy to Department of Health and Social Security. No cardiologist now takes part in the program, which is run by
25、 the hospitals surgeons(外科医生 ). Dr. David Wainwright Evans, one of the three specialists, hopes that when the charity(慈善 )money for the program runs out in January, the Government will not take over the funding. So far the program has cost 1. 5 million and has saved the lives of only 40 out of the 7
26、8 transplant patients. Pap-worth and Hare-field Hospital, West London, have each transplanted 39 patients;22 have survived at Pap worth and 18 at Hare-field. The longest-surviving Pap-worth patient, Mr. Keith Castle, recently celebrated the third anniversary of his transplant operation. Mr. Christop
27、her Robbins, director of the Coronary(冠心病 )Prevention Croup battling to reduce the 150,000 deaths a year from coronary heart disease, said that heart transplants would never benefit more than a tiny minority of heart patients, yet thousands could be saved by preventive measures. In the United States
28、 the number of premature deaths(英年早逝 )from heart disease has been reduced by a quarter since 1963 through changes in life-style. Evidence suggests that similar results could be obtained in Britain. 11 The cardiologists in Pap-worth Hospital wrote to the authorities to _. （ A） ask for more money put
29、in heart transplant （ B） call for an end to heart transplant （ C） complain about ineffective administration over heart transplant programs （ D） urge better cooperation among surgeons engaged in heart transplants 12 At the moment, the money for heart transplants comes from_. （ A） the government （ B）
30、the hospitals （ C） donations from the public （ D） a fund raised by the patients 13 According to the passage, the success rate for heart transplants is about_. （ A） 45% （ B） 50% （ C） 0.55 （ D） 0.6 14 According to Mr. Robbins, _. （ A） preventive measures are a better solution to heart disease than hea
31、rt transplants （ B） although there are problems with heart transplants, more efforts will be made in this field （ C） heart transplant is a necessary supplement to preventive measures against heart diseases （ D） it is time that people changed their life-style to avoid heart disease 15 It seems that t
32、he United States is more successful than Britain in_. （ A） developing heart transplant technology （ B） preventing heart diseases （ C） treating heart diseases （ D） diagnosing heart diseases 15 In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are sh
33、ared to a greater or lesser extent, concepts of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than did their par
34、ents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by “battle of the sexes“. If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important and that has happened in some cases we are as badly off as before, only in reverse. It is time to re-
35、estimate the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism“(一元论 ), but we dont want to exchange it for a “ New-Monism“. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychologists, social w
36、orkers, and specialists in family are becoming more aware of the part men play. We have almost given up saying that a womans place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze mans place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy d
37、evelopment of the child. The family is a co-operative enterprise(企业 )for which it is difficult to lay down rules because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authority has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers. The ideal of equal righ
38、ts and equal responsibilities is relative not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family. 16 The best title of this article would be_. （ A） Equal Job for Equal Pay （ B） The Ideal of Equal Rights and Responsibilities in the American Family （ C） American Men and Women （ D） How to Bring
39、up Children 17 According to the author, the fathers role in the home is_. （ A） irrelevant to the healthy development of the child （ B） relative to the healthy development of the child （ C） identical to the role of the childs mother （ D） impossible to determine 18 According to the author, the solutio
40、n of family problems_. （ A） is best left in hands of social workers （ B） is similar in all families （ C） needs to be reached by ways unique to each family （ D） is not necessary in household where sharing is done 19 The consequences of excessive authority in the home_. （ A） is nevertheless fortunate
41、if the mother is the only authority （ B） is unfortunate no matter who is the head of the family （ C） has never proved harmful （ D） is nevertheless fortunate if the father is the only authority 20 With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? （ A） A healthy, co-oper
42、ative family is a basic unit of a healthy society. （ B） Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory. （ C） A womans place is in the home now as always. （ D） The role of the male as breadwinner is one which society considers least important. 二、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (3
