填空题 The economic transformation of India is one of the great business stories of our tinge. Indian companies like Infosys and Wipro are powerful global players, while Western firms like G.E. and I.B.M. now have major research facilities in India employing thousands. India's seemingly endless flow of young, motivated engineers, scientists, and managers offering developed-world skills at developing-world wages is held to be putting American jobs at risk, and the country is frequently heralded as "the next economic superpower." But India has nm into a surprising hitch on its way to superpower status: its inexhaustible supply of workers is becoming exhausted. {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}} How is this possible in a country that every year produces two and a half million college graduates and four hundred thousand engineers? Start with the fact that just ten per cent of Indians get any kind of post-secondary education, compared with some fifty per cent who do in the U.S. {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}} India does have more than three hundred universities, but a recent survey by the London Times Higher Education Supplement put only two of them among the top hundred in the world. A current study led by Vivek Wadhwa, of Duke University, has found that if you define "engineer" by U.S. standards, India produces just a hundred and seventy thousand engineers a year, not four hundred thousand. The irony of the current situation is that India was once considered to be overeducated. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}} However, once the Indian business climate loosened up, though, that meant companies could tap a backlog of hundreds of thousands of eager, skilled workers at their disposal. Unfortunately, the educational system did not adjust to the new realities. {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}Even as the need for skilled workers was increasing, India was devoting relatively fewer resources to producing them. India has taken tentative steps to remedy its skills famine-the current government has made noises about doubling spending on education, and a host of new colleges and universities have sprung up since the mid-nineties. {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}. In a country where more than three hundred million people live on a dollar a day, producing college graduates can seem like a low priority. Ultimately, the Indian government has to pull off a very tough trick, malting serious changes at a time when things seem to be going very well. It needs, in other words, a clear sense of everything that can still go wrong. The paradox of the Indian economy today is that the more certain its glowing future seems to be, the less likely that future becomes. A. But India's impressive economic performance has made the problem seem less urgent than it actually is, and allowed the government to defer difficult choices. B. Moreover, of that ten per cent, the vast majority go to one of India's seventeen thousand colleges, many of which are closer to community colleges than to four-year institutions. C. Infosys says that, of 1.3 million applicants for jobs last year, it found only two per cent acceptable. D. Although India has one of the youngest workforces on the planet, the head of Infosys said recently that there was an "acute shortage of skilled manpower," and a study by Hewitt Associates projects that this year salaries for skilled workers will rise fourteen and a half per cent, a sure sign that demand for skilled labor is outstripping. E. In the seventies, as its economy languished, it seemed to be a country with too many engineers and Ph.D.s working as clerks in government offices. F. Many Indian graduates therefore enter the workforce with a low level of skills. G. Between 1985 and 1997, the number of teachers in India actually fell, while the percentage of students enrolled in high school or college rose more slowly than it did in the rest of the world.

填空题Directions:You are going to read a list of subheadings and a text about what experts advise to do to keep a new year's resolution. Choose the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph. The first paragraph of the text is not numbered. There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. A. Don't Try to Scare Yourself Straight B. Get Better Friends C. Quit Completely D. Focus on Your Achievements E. Don't Kid Yourself F. Learn from Others G. Try Being Mindful The Marist poll found that while 65% of people who made a resolution in the New Year kept their promise for at least part of the year, 35% never even made it out of the gate. Indeed, when you wake up on the first day of a new year-or decade-resolutions to "cut back" and "moderate" seem both an excellent idea and an impossibly hazy dream. But consider this: if hard-core addicts can break bad habits, there's still hope for you. There's a lot you can learn from people who have successfully moderated their habits to help keep you off the resolution merry-go-round. 41. ______ "The most important thing is to be honest with yourself," says Howard Josepher, a former heroin addict and president of Exponents Inc.. "You need to know the difference between enjoying yourself and self-medicating. It's not that self-medicating is necessarily bad-but you should give yourself parameters. If you are adhering to them, O.K. If not, you need to check yourself." Successful moderators decide in advance how much is "too much"-and stick to their limit, no matter what. Have a cookie a day, if that's what you've deemed acceptable. But if you "cheat" by having "just one more," know that you are only cheating yourself and aggravating the problem, experts say. The point is to learn how to hold yourself accountable. 42. ______ "Theoretically, there are very good reasons to take a break from a behavior, totally," says Reid Hester, director of research at Behavior Therapy Associates, explaining that an initial period of complete abstinence can make it easier for people to moderate behavior, by eliminating the habitual, automatic aspect of the unwanted activity. Take a cue from the self-help group Moderation Management (MIV), which advises problem drinkers to abstain completely for a month before attempting moderate drinking. The best way to stay on course is frequent self-monitoring; use as many behavior-modification tools, support groups and programs as you can. 43. ______ "Between stimulus and response, there's a space, and in that space is our power to choose our response, and in our response lies our growth and freedom," says Alan Marlatt, director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, quoting author and Holocaust survivor Victor Frankl. Marlatt says, "Mindfulness gets you into that space." Being mindful may involve traditional meditation, in which you sit quietly and observe your thoughts and breathing without judgment. But here, it is also used to focus awareness on thoughts and feelings that lead to unwanted behavior. Simply recognizing the triggers to relapse can help you choose not to give into them. 44. ______ Research shows that in the long term, the pleasure of victory is a better incentive than the pain of defeat. "Punishment is a poor motivator," says Hester. "It sets people up for failure. If all you do is punish yourself for failure, you won't stay motivated to change for very long." Instead, reward yourself for sticking to your limits and focus on the benefits of changing. 45. ______ Consciously and unconsciously, people tend to imitate those around them. That's why the latest research shows that things like happiness, quitting smoking and obesity can spread like a contagion through social networks. So, surround yourself with friends who can also be role models. "Make sure that people you hang out with are people who look and act the way you would like to. Social imitation is the easiest form not only of flattery but of self-improvement," says Stanton Peele, author of Seven Tools to Beat Addiction.

填空题Cardiologists have pioneered the world's first non-surgical bypass operation to turn a vein into an artery using a new technique to divert blood flow in a man with severe heart disease. 41. ______________________ Although major heart surgery is becoming commonplace, with more than 28,000 bypass operations in the UK annually, it is traumatic for patients and involves a long recovery period. The new technique was carried out by an international team of doctors who performed the non-invasive surgery on a 53-year-old German patient. 42. ______________________ According to a special report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, cardiologists developed a special catheter (导管)which was inserted into one of :his leg arteries, threaded up through the aorta (主动脉) to the top of the diseased artery, which was the only part still open and receiving blood. 43. ______________________ A thin, flexible wire was threaded through the needle and the needle and catheter were with- drawn, leaving the wire behind and a small angioplasty(血管成形术) balloon, which was used to widen the channel. Finally, the vein was blocked off just above the new channel allowing blood from the artery to be re-routed down the vein. 44. ______________________ Dr. Stephen Oesterle, who led the team, said: "This milestone marks the first coronary artery bypass performed with a catheter. The technology offers a realistic hope for truly minimally invasive bypass procedures in the future." Dr. Oasterle is director of cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Melanie Haddon, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said it was likely to be many years before the procedure was routinely used in hospitals. "Non-invasive surgery, such as this new method, could help minimize the risks, bringing great benefits to the patient." A clot-busting drug combined with 10-minute spurts of exercise has been found to grow new blood vessels in children with heart disease. 45. ______________________ X-rays showed that over a five month period a network of tiny new blood vessels formed in two of the patients. In all seven individuals, the treatment was associated with improved blood flow to the heart muscle in the areas around the blockage.[A] In every case, the therapy increased the size of the blocked artery allowing more blood to pass through.[B] The diabetic patient, who has not been named, had suffered severe chest pains because one of his coronary arteries was severely blocked and depriving his heart muscle of oxygen, but he was considered by doctors to be unsuitable for traditional bypass surgery.[C] Then, guided by ultra-sound a physician pushed a needle from inside the catheter through the artery wall and into the adjacent vein.[D] The keyhole procedure, which avoids the extensive invasive surgery of a conventional bypass, will offer hope to tens of thousands of people at risk from heart attacks. Coronary heart disease, where the arteries are progressively silted up with fatty deposits, is responsible in a major industrial country like Britain for more than 160,000 deaths each year.[E] After the procedure, the vein effectively became an artery, carrying blood in the reverse direction from the previous way, and feeding the starved heart tissue with oxygen.[F] Researchers in Japan studied seven children and teenagers, aged 6 to 19, who had a totally blocked artery and could not be helped by surgery. They were asked to exercise on a bicycle ma- chine twice a day for 10 days and given the anti-clotting drug before each session.[G] It is very premature to suggest that this technique will significantly reduce the need for coronary bypass surgery in the near future. It won't be a solution for everyone. The reality is that veins are not always located that close to an artery, so it wouldn't work under certain circumstances.
