单选题For centuries Dutch engineers have been fighting a war against water. Their main enemy is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, Holland is also called the "Netherlands", which means "low lands". Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have been built to keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may suddenly burst through a dyke. Great damages can be caused by floods when this happens.
Three large rivers are also part of the problem. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passages across the country. At low tide, the rivers flow into the sea as usual. But at high tide the sea can flow into the rivers. This is because the land is so low.
The battles against water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and better country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take or reclaim land that was under water. The Dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hundred years.
Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between two islands. Two dykes are built across the passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the sea.
Because the land is so low, water from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground. For this reason, the pumps continue working even when the land has been drained (that is, when the water has been pumped away). The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped, there would be very bad floods.
A piece of reclaimed land is called a polder, and Holland has thousands of polders. There are farms on many of the polders. Corn and other crops grow well on the drained land, and it gives good grass for cattle. Many small towns and villages stand on polders.

单选题There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.
Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.
No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling. All are anxious to make money by "gambling" in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to "gamble".

Sometime in next century, the familiar
early-morning newspaper on the front door will disappear. And instead of reading
your newspaper, it will read to you. You'll get up and turn on the computer
newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute
stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of
news you want. You' ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear.
Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text
appear. Save it in your own personal computer file if you like. These are among
the predictions from communications experts working on the newspapers of the
future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems,
computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and
analysis video images of news events. Most of the technology is
available now, but convincing more people that they don't need paper to read a
newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be
stronger from within journalism (新闻界). Since it is such a cultural change, it
may be that the present generation of jounalists and publishers will have to die
off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer
a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers
unavoidable. Despite technological advances, it could take
decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years
to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because
newspapers have established financial interests in the paper
industry.

单选题Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M. D. s abroad.
Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room
. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, over 600 are trying the foreign route.
But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons, and Canada"s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain, for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico"s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students.
Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: "Anyone who comes here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, and it"s difficult to get back into the States to practice".
Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.
单选题All life on our earth depends, in one way or another, on the sun. Without its light and warmth, there would be no life. The sun gives us our food and our clothing material. It even gives us our coal, too. The sun also makes our day and our night. Light travels in straight lines. It comes from the sun 45,000,000 miles away. The sun lights half the earth at a time. It is day on the lighted side. It is night on the dark side of the earth. Almost every part of the earth turns from day to night during every 24 hours. A sunny day in winter is colder than a sunny day in summer. This is because the summer day is longer, everything has a longer time to warm up and the sun shines more directly on the earth. In winter, the day is short, there is less time for everything to get warm and the sun doesn't shine more directly on the earth. Land, just like the sand, warms up more quickly than water but it also loses its heat more quickly. So on a hot sunny summer's day on the beach, you can feel how hot the sand gets. The water is cool to the feet when you go for a paddle. The sun makes our earth beautiful. It gives us light. It keeps us warm. It makes things grow. We cannot live without the sun.
