单选题It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia"s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group"s on line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: "We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn"t just something that happened in Australia. It"s world history."
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ⅲ law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia In the U.S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death—probably by a deadly injection or pill—to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ⅲ law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I"m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I"d go, because I"ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.

A poor traveler stopped under the tree
to eat the boiled rice and vegetables which he brought with him. A few meters
away, there was a small shop by the side of the road where a woman was frying
fish and selling it to travelers. The woman watched the poor traveler carefully,
and when he finished his food and began to go, she shouted rudely, "You have not
paid me for the fried fish? "But I have not had any fried
fish!" he said. "But everyone can see that you enjoyed the smell
of my fried fish with your rice and veg- etables," said the woman, "If you had
not smelled the fish, your meal would not have been so pleasant !"
Soon a crowd collected, and although they supported the poor traveler,
they had to ad- mit that wind was blowing from the shop to the place where he
had eaten, and that it had carried the smell of the fried fish to him.
Finally, the woman took the poor traveler to a judge, who said, "The woman
says that the traveler ate his meal with the smell of her fried fish. The
traveler agrees that the wind was blowing the smell of her fried fish to his
nose while he was eating, so he must pay for it." "What does your fried fish
cost?" he asked the woman. "Twenty-five cents a plate," she
answered delighted. "Then go outside together," said the judge.
"There the traveler must hold up a twenty five-cent piece so that a shadow(影子)
falls on the woman's hand. The price of the smell of a plate of fried fish is
the shadow of twenty-five cents."
单选题Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence "greenbacks"). The commonly used coins are: one cent (penny), five cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), and 25 cents (quarter). 50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation for you. "Always carry plenty of quarters when travelling. Very useful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc." There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse. It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you'll be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show ID when you cash your cheques. Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guaraniee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car—indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes—you should ask your bank manager.
