Their study of 2,279 girls aged 10 to 14 showed that while the va
28、st majority had healthy weights, nearly a third felt they were overweight and were trying to lose pounds. Even at the tender ages of 10, nearly 32 per cent of girls felt “too fat“ and 31 per cent said they were trying to diet. McVey, a researcher at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, and her
29、 colleagues analyzed dam collected in a number of surveys of southern Ontario school girls between 1993 and 2003, reporting their findings in Tuesdays issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Nearly 80 per cent of the girls had a healthy body weight and only 7.2 per cent were considered ov
30、erweight using standard weight-to height ratios. Most researchers suggest the rate of overweight children in this country is several times higher than that figure. Nearly 30 per cent of the girls reported they Were currently trying to lose weight, though few admitted to dangerous behavior such as se
31、lf-induced vomiting. Still, a test that measured attitudes towards eating showed 10.5 per cent of survey Participants were already at risk of developing an eating disorder. “Were not talking about kids whove been prescribed a diet because theyre above average weight or overweight. Were talking about
32、 children who are within a healthy weight range. And they have taken it upon themselves to diet to lose weight,“ McVey said, acknowledging she found the rates disturbing.

36、If US software companies dont pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top US quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in t
37、heir country. AIready, of the worlds 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. Thats largely because they have used new methodologies rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. J
38、uran had urged US software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the US but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Demings and Jurans ideas to bring down the cost of g
39、ood quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In US factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is. Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He
40、retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It tell to 15% in 1996 and has s
41、ince further dropped to below 10%. Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be winning more praises overseas than at home. The Indian government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India. Lets hope that US
42、lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems. 36 What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has? （ A） India. （ B） The US. （ C） Brazil. （ D） Germany. 37 Which of the following statefnents about Humphrey is true? （ A） He is now still an IBM empl

44、 better in quality. （ C） The US hardware industry was lagging behind. （ D） Japan hired a lot of Indian software specialists. 39 What does the founding of the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute symbolize? （ A） It symbolizes the US determination to move ahead with its software. （ B） It symboliz
45、es the Japanese efforts to solve thesoftware quality problem. （ C） It symbolizes the Indian ambition to take the lead in software. （ D） It symbolizes the Chinese policy on importing software. 40 What is the writer worrying about? （ A） Many US software specialists are working for Japan. （ B） The qual
46、ity problem has become a worldwide problem. （ C） India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US. （ D） The US will no longer be the first software player in the world. 41 Computers in Cars Youre far from home on a lonely road. Shadowy forests stretch away on both sides. A thick mist (雾 ) ma
47、kes it difficult to see far beyond your cars windshield (挡风玻璃 ). “Can this be route 90A?“ you wonder. If it is, you should be near a town. Yet theres no hint of one. Night is closing in, and youre low on gasoline. This is a situation where an in-car computer that can navigate would be a big help. A
48、car computer that navigates? Yes! Such computers exists. Several experimental models are being tested by General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, and several foreign car markets. These computers vary in details. But they all contain series of maps on Vediodiscs or videotapes. For example, one computer system
49、 contains 13,300 maps covering the continental US. Before starting out on a trip, a driver can type in the code for the region he or she plans to drive through. The computer then shows a map of that region. At the same time, a tiny radio receiver linked to the computer goes to work. It picks up signals from navigation satellites such as the NAVSTAR network. Using these signals, the computer shows a the cars position at all times and displays th
