填空题The normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7~8 hours'sleep alternation with some16~17 hours' wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides (61) the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this (62) can be modified. The question is no mere academic one. The ease with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a (63) of growing importance in industry where automation (64) round-the-clock working of machines. It normally (65) form five days to one week for a person to adapt to a (66) routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. (67) , it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine (68) he has to change to another, (69) much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very (70) . One answer would seem to be (71) periods on each shift, a month, or even three months. (72) recent research has shown that people on such systems will revert to go back to their (73) habits to sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any (74) to night work built up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to those permanent night workers whose (75) may persist through all weekends and holidays. 61.

填空题A. Be silly B. Have fun C. Express your emotions D. Don"t overthink it E. Be easily pleased F. Notice things G. Ask for help As adults, it seems that we are constantly pursuing happiness, often with mixed results. Yet children appear to have it down to an art—and for the most part they don"t need self-help books or therapy. Instead, they look after their wellbeing instinctively, and usually more effectively than we do as grownups. Perhaps it"s time to learn a few lessons from them. 1 What does a child do when he"s sad? He cries. When he"s angry? He shouts. Scared? Probably a bit of both. As we grow up, we learn to control our emotions so they are manageable and don"t dictate our behaviours, which is in many ways a good thing. But too often we take this process too far and end up suppressing emotions, especially negative ones. That"s about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill. What we need to do is find a way to acknowledge and express what we feel appropriately, and then—again like children—move. 2 A couple of Christmases ago, my youngest stepdaughter, who was nine years old at the time, got a Superman T-shirt for Christmas. It cost less than a fiver but she was overjoyed, and couldn"t stop talking about it. Too often we believe that a new job, bigger house or better car will be the magic silver bullet that will allow us to finally be content, but the reality is these things have very little lasting impact on our happiness levels. Instead, being grateful for small things every day is a much better way to improve wellbeing. 3 Have you ever noticed how much children laugh? If we adults could indulge in a bit of silliness and giggling, we would reduce the stress hormones in our bodies, increase good hormones like endorphins, improve blood flow to our hearts and even have a greater chance of fighting off infection. All of which, of course, have a positive effect on happiness levels. 4 The problem with being a grown up is that there"s an awful lot of serious stuff to deal with—work, mortgage payments, figuring out what to cook for dinner. But as adults we also have the luxury of being able to control our own diaries and it"s important that we schedule in time to enjoy the things we love. Those things might be social, sporting, creative or completely random (dancing around the living room, anyone?)—it doesn"t matter, so long as they"re enjoyable, and not likely to have negative side effects, such as drinking too much alcohol or going on a wild spending spree if you"re on a tight budget. 5 Having said all of the above, it"s important to add that we shouldn"t try too hard to be happy. Scientists tell us this can backfire and actually have a negative impact on our wellbeing. As the Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu is reported to have said: "Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness." And in that, once more, we need to look to the example of our children, to whom happiness is not a goal but a natural byproduct of the way they live.

填空题A. Universities have been chosen as the way for competition as well as peace. B. The undergraduates are supported to study abroad during their academic years. C. The globalization of universities is realized through various ways. D. The US has played the leading role in the commercialized technologies. E. The number of students studying abroad has been increasing. F. The United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research-university model. G. The conduction of research has been greatly affected by globalization. As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability. 1 In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity. 2 Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad. 3 Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity and providing the financial resources to make it possible. 4 Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai"s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, post-doctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu"s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team. 5 As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university. For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.

填空题 Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an {{U}}(66) {{/U}} should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, {{U}}(67) {{/U}} , most people make several job choices during their working lives, {{U}}(68) {{/U}} because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve {{U}}(69) {{/U}} position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should {{U}}(70) {{/U}} enter into a broad flexible training program that will {{U}}(71) {{/U}} them for a field of work rather than for a single {{U}}(72) {{/U}} . Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans {{U}}(73) {{/U}} benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing {{U}}(74) {{/U}} about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss {{U}}(75) {{/U}} . Some drift from job to job. Others {{U}}(76) {{/U}} to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted. One common mistake is choosing an occupation for {{U}}(77) {{/U}} real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students—or their parents for them—choose the professional field, {{U}}(78) {{/U}} both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal {{U}}(79) {{/U}} . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is {{U}}(80) {{/U}} good reason for choosing it as life's work. {{U}}(81) {{/U}} , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the {{U}}(82) {{/U}} of young people should give serious {{U}}(83) {{/U}} to these fields. Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants {{U}}(84) {{/U}} life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take {{U}}(85) {{/U}} for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

In the 1920s jazz sounded like America, and so it does today. The origins of this music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to Southern States as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and 8 . When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a procession to carry the body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the procession. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, improvising (即兴表演) on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes presented at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.

填空题41) ____________. The synthetic (合成的) polymer (聚合的) device is the first flexible hydrophilie (吸水的) artificial cornea to be produced and inserted into a human. It is the product of 8 years work by researchers at the Lions Eye Institute of the University of WA'S Department of Ophthalmic Biomaterials. 42) ____________. "First, the plastic material used to construct the artificial cornea absorbs water and becomes elastic and soft like human tissue." Prof. Chirial told Australian Science. "A second novel characteristic is that the periphery (外围) is a sponge with pores allowing host tissue to grow into it. Third, the device uses interpenetrating (渗透) polymer networks to link the central transparent area with the non-transparent periphery." 43) ____________. The first recipient (接纳者)of the device, a 79-year-old WA man who was blind in one eye, can now read large print. A further eight patients are awaiting the technically challenging two-step procedure, with the first due to be operated on this month. 44) ____________. Many patients admitted to the trial have experienced rejection of previous human corneal grafts due to an immune reaction or medical syndrome. In others who have had a chemical burn to an eye, the artificial graft offers their only hope of restored vision. A senior opthalmologist with the team, Dr. Geoffrey Crawford, said the artificial cornea was a promising development for people in underdeveloped countries where an absence of eye banks meant that less than 1% of those needing a human corneal graft ever get one. 45) ____________.[A] It is novel in three ways according to its designer, Romanian-trained polymer chemist Professor Trainan Chirial, who set up the department in 1986.[B] The device is designed to replace a diseased or damaged cornea or a failed human graft and can give back sight to some patients.[C] The artificial cornea was made from a transparent matrix of collagen and a synthetic polymer.[D] Before the device can be marketed, an international trial of at least 50 patients in five centers worldwide needs to be completed successfully.[E] However, he conceded that the cost of the device would need to fall dramatically for it to be used in any widespread way.[F] He explained that material in the center and periphery have an identical chemical composition but are produced by different chemical processes, hence their different light-transmitting qualities.[G] Western Australian researchers have patented an artificial cornea with the potential to benefit blind or partially sighted individuals worldwide.
