填空题Many languages of the world use the word "computer", or something close to it.
But in one particular country, it is legal to call a computer "a computer". In France,
1
a computer must be called "un ordinateur". In fact, if there is ever a French equivalent
2
the English word is forbidden.
In 1994, the French government passed
La LoiToubon
(the
Toubon Law
),
make the use of French compulsory in education, the media, and business.
3
This means commercial advertisements and public announcements should be
made in French. The
Toubon Law
has effected many aspects of French life.
4
From restaurant menu to product labeling, all advertising of goods and services
5
in France must be presented in French or at least including a French translation.
6
The reason for the law is simple: the French are very proud of their language
and do not want "Franglais"—a mixture of French and English—to ruin it.
Recently, the internet has provided oppositions to the
Toubon Law
. Although
7
the law does not apply for non-commercial communication, web pages, or
8
publications from individuals, French supporters of the law have tried to
prosecute certain websites that contain English. They say there has no reason why
9
the internet should escape the law"s reach. But they have come up against the
reality of the internet being predominately English-language medium. It is said
10
that English is the lingua franca of the internet, and anyone who tries to block that
will only slow their own growth.

填空题Around the world, music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities.
Classical music is most typically used for therapies due to its complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it"s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.
Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body"s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother"s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.
Summary:
There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful
1
some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors and patients are turning to
2
to treat various
3
and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with
4
and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to
5
more activity in the brain. Although it may be
6
to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use
7
to treat patients.

填空题As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is
because so much depends on it. They are the mark of success
21
or failure in our society. One"s whole future may be decided on
one fateful day. It doesn"t matter that he wasn"t feeling very
well, or that his mother died. Things like that don"t
count on: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when
22
he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely
what the examination system expects you to do. The moment
23
a child begins school, he enters into a world of vicious competition
24
where success and failure are clearly defined and measured.
Can we wonder at the increasing number of "drop-outs": young people
who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked
25
a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students?
A good education should, among other things, train one to
think for himself. The examination system does nothing but that.
26
What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student
is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student
to read widely, but restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek
27
more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the
standards of teaching, for they deprive teachers off all freedoms.
28
Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and
instead of teaching their subjects, they are reducing to training their
29
students in exam techniques which they despise of. The most
30
successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are
the best trained in the technique of working under duress.
