单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} The World Wide Web is more than just news, stock reports, and electronic storefronts. It's also one of the best sources for information on recreational activities. From model trains to motorcross (摩托车越野), from genealogy to gymnastics, if someone is "into it", chances are there's a web page about it. Interested in movies? All of the major film studios maintain web sites where you can download sound and video clips from their latest releases. There are thousands of fan pages devoted to movies and TV programs. Yahoo!'s X--Files category alone, for instance, contains hundreds of sites created by, shall we say, extremely enthusiastic fans of the show. There's even a whole sub--category devoted to fans who want to see the two leads on the show have a relationship. If the moving image doesn't thrill you, there are other media to indulge in. You can listen to audio samples from four favorite band, look at far drawings from Japanese anim (硬树脂) shows, or read the literature of Emily Dickinson, Virginia Wolfe, or any of a thousand other authors whose works are either wholly reprinted or expected online. Interactive games are also a popular web activity. Chess enthusiasts can play real-time, graphically enhanced games with people from all over the world. Those interested in interactive role-playing games will find their favorites in Yahoo!'s Computer Games: Role Playing category. If you're just interested in going solo, there are whole galleries of innovative games that will keep you occupied for a long time.

单选题The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they couldn't provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital. A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. However, each must be equally dedicated. Caring tot sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night. Under the supervision of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on 24-hour basis and attend to patients' needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses' station. A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital. Serving as a nurse can be a very. rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.

单选题Bushfire (山火) victims have reacted angrily after being told they must present identification to get Federal Government assistance, despite most having lost everything. An open letter published in a News Limited newspaper this morning questioned the ability of Centrelink, the government-appointed agency, to quickly distribute the payments of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child. News Ltd journalist Gary Hughes, who escaped the fires at St Andrews, said when he and others fronted Centrelink on Monday they were told there would be no financial help unless they could produce a driver's license or bank statement. "What's that meant to be, some cruel joke?" Mr. Hughes wrote. "Losing everything means just that—everything. There are many like us who didn't have time to calmly pause to collect wallets and purses as we fled our homes with wet towels over our faces to avoid choking (窒息) to death". Human Services Minster Joe Ludwig has apologized for the inconvenience and says all efforts are being made to ensure people get the help they need. "I don't know the precise details but we are sorry if it did happen," Senator Ludwig said. "We have instructed Centrelink to take the lightest possible approach in confirming identity." He says while identification was helpful, a signature would be enough, adding that about 800 applicants for assistance had already received the money.
