Besides, it guarantees that those who are really dangerous will neither commit their crimes again nor pass on undesirable hereditary (世袭的) traits (品行) to their children. In this way it protects society from many dangerous happenings. Lee: But any fear of the capital punishment is greatly reduced by the decrease in the number of jurisdictions (司法) using it, by the uncertainty of detection (侦探), the long delays in court procedures, the decline in the number of executions, and by the nonpublic nature of executions. Statistical studies indicate that the use of the death penalty has no significant effect on either the frequency of capital crimes or the safety of law-enforcement officers.

填空题 {{B}}John McEnroe:{{/B}} I have been using the Internet since the late 80's when the Internet was called ARPANET and this is the first year I actually did some Christmas shopping on the Internet. I could not find several items for my child's Christmas gifts so I decided to look online. Normally when I shop in real stores I go in, find what I want and get out (my wife hates this because she wants to look at EVERYTHING). The Internet allows you to go shopping without any fuss or having to wait in line. {{B}}John Starks:{{/B}} You never know if they are chatting with a kidnapping pervert, seeing pornography, downloading illegal files or viruses and other bad software. Of course I have Net Nanny installed on my child's computer, it isn't perfect but it is a good piece of software and with a little tweaking blocks 99.8% of harmful content. We do not allow our child to use Instant Messaging or other programs. {{B}}Ibrahim Ba:{{/B}} There also several devious online advertisers that use software to force you to see what they want you to see, the software is often hidden in a download or "free" software. I wrote an article on this several months ago. It has some great information on how to protect yourself from these malicious media companies and how to find out if something is installed on your computer and what to do to get rid of it. If only congress would enact tough anti-spam laws and laws to protect the consumer from malicious media companies who install software on your computer and make changes to your property (computer) without your permission. {{B}}Elena Piskun:{{/B}} The article goes on to say that the Internet is also causing us to sleep less (by 8.5 minutes) and that it reduces contact with family members by 23.5 minutes per day. The researchers acknowledged that they cannot answer the question of whether or not it strengthens or weakens social relationships. That's been a burning question since the rise of the Internet, and many tons of paper was wasted in the mid and late nineties to print handwriting articles about how the Internet would probably turn us all into introverted, pale-faced geeks sitting in our basements in the dark night after night, hanging out in seedy chat rooms. {{B}}Ivan Ivankov:{{/B}}Ten years later, we've gone from a tiny number of people who had Internet access back then to 75% of the country—that's the fastest diffusion of a new technology ever. We're on to something here, and I believe it's mostly for the good. We're more aware of world events, better informed on local, national, and international issues, have more control over our time, and have all kinds of new business and work opportunities available to us.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. {{B}}Statements{{/B}} [A] We can listen to music, watch movies, and read books online.

填空题Public Discussion on Cutting Students' BurdenZhou Li (a parent in Beijing) Reduce Students' burden? Who will be responsible if my child can't go to college? Heroes in major tests are both from high marks. Many families have only one child, and no parents wish to see their child fall to receive a higher education. In addition, marks equal cash. Right now, major middle schools and universities are using a charging system. One more mark is several hundred yuan less than your parents have to pay.A teacher (Shanghai) The admission peak in China is now shifting from primary schools to high schools and universities, which will lead to an employment peak. Competition between many people for one post will not bean uncommon situation. Under these circumstances, those who cut their burdens will lose at the beginning of the competition. Cultural Revolution's experience tells today's parents that they should not be fooled. As long as job opportunities are not secured for everyone, examinations must be continued.Wang Juexuan (director of the Regular Education Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Education) It is necessary to establish a sound evaluation system first. However, creating a new system is difficult and will take a long time. Evidence indicates that the biggest obstacle in cutting workloads comes from parents. High marks mean better schools, better colleges and, later, better jobs. A 20-score gap can't tell who is superior when comparing to two students, but in the eyes of parents, the scores mean that those two children will enter two schools of different grades and that they therefore will have different futures.Wu Changshun (Principal of the Beijing No. 5 Middle School and CPPCC member) Students' overload reduction cannot be based on one's own wishes. First, efforts should focus on reducing the amount of homework and psychological pressure on students. Second, according to the Ministry of Education, the effort is mainly to cut the burden on primary students, but now some localities are cutting burdens in middle schools as well. Third, What kind of work should be cut, and are we ready for the cut? Fourth, the students' work overload is like a syndrome; you can't cure it with only one drug.Dr. Shen Yushun (Education Institute of the East China Teachers' University) First we need to form a system that ensures an evaluation that truly and accurately reflects a student's accomplishments, and also orients the teaching activities of schools to target the comprehensive development of students. Second, we need to change the mode of the Government's administration of elementary education. Thirds, we need to reform the entrance examination system, especially that for college. I suggest that national and regional unified exams be canceled and various colleges make out questions for their own exams in recruiting students. Now match each of the schools to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.[A] Many measures should be taken to cut students' study load, such as, new evaluation and examination system, and the reform of elementary education.[B] New evaluation system is essential to the cutting of students' study load. If there is no efficient evaluation system, parents who only care about their children's examination results will give more home work to their children in order to get high marks in the examinations. Thus, no overload is reduced.[C] It is impossible to cut students' study load since no one knows what should be cut.[D] It is impossible to cut students' study load. Without homework how can they get high mark? If they fail in the major examination, parents have to pay more money if they still want a higher education.[E] It is a long process to cut students' study load. We can not say leaving less homework as the cutting of students' load. What we should do is to cut their load physically and psychologically.[F] We shouldn't cut middle school students' study load because they are faced with the entrance examination to college.[G] I do not think students' load should be cut. From history we know that working hard and getting higher education provide you with an advantage when competing with others.

填空题Directions: Read the texts from a book in which five people talked about climate. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (a toG. given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1. Jennifer: The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world. People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don't be as silly as them. Kac: Spring just hits here, too. It's so nice—windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild. It's tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I'll go camping soon! Soscia: In the city you don't have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car. Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads. Harno: Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread— I don't know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming. Macland: It's been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November... In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive(生存)those snowstorms, since we all know they'll be gone in a few days. Statements A. Future is bright. B. Man conquers nature. C. We can see the effect of the pollution on the climate. D. Human beings have to struggle hard against weather. E. The call of nature is there. F. He hates spring. G. Sometimes we worry too much about nothing.

填空题Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of "gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and share happiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you dis cover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows; but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can—help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements A. A rich person is not necessarily happy. B. Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness. C. Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D. We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E. Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F. The environment is a source of happiness. G. Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.

填空题Alfred Benedetti: At the age 101, I participated in the javelin, shot put and basketball free-throw events in the Senior Olympics from age 90 and went bowling twice a week. I attributed my health and longevity to keeping myself involved with some demanding activities, whether it is our physical strength or our mental energy that is required in these activities. And I stayed busy with reading, writing, and working with his hands.Angelina Strandel: At the age 101, I would like to recommend, "What we always need is a state of peace in our minds". No one can really a life in such a peaceful way that nothing annoying, depressing or even hurting happens in our life, but we can still manage to get a peaceful mind during the process. Although I dealt with much turmoil in my life, I did not let the stress get to me. My sister lived to age 100.Mikihil Jaisinghani: I always watch my calories and keep away from food rich in fat. Maybe it's because I am not a person who is really into eating, or it is because the negative effects of such foods make them not so delicious for me, anyway, I never allow myself for those kinds of food. Plenty of vegetables and fruits make me feel good, and I am always energetic even at my age now.Herbert Kirk: I graduated at age 97 from Montana State University with a bachelor's degree in art. Look, here is my senior-thesis sculpture project. I attributed my longevity to keeping on learning something new. Especially when we retire from our job, it's of great importance that we learn something new on a yearly basis. This can really do a lot to prevent us from aging too quickly.John Leaver: When I was 95, I won two gold medals (in 800-meter and five-kilometer races) and one silver medal (in a 200-meter race) at an international seniors' track meet in Helsinki, Finland. I love competing with others in sports. Although it is not a universally accepted idea that we should continue to participate in competitive sports when we reach a certain age, this surly helped me a lot. I like to challenge others, as well as myself. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. I keep the negative feeling away and maintain a calm mind.B. I always interact with others, and never allow myself to be alone for a long period.C. I strictly forbid myself from eating unhealthy foods.D. I benefit a lot from my marriage and my good relationship with my husband keeps me always in good mood.E.

填空题Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Emma Scott Good manners don't come from hypocrisy; they come from empathy. Empathy means feeling as though you are the other person: that is, putting yourself in his or her place. Be aware that certain topics are dangerous to get into. Subjects such as politics and religion may be suitable in some groups but not in others. In certain cultures it is even impolite to mention these topics because they are considered very personal. Phyllis Harrison Angry argument is the enemy of enjoyable talk. Even though people who become angry may be correct in their opinions, their offensive manner may make them lose both the argument and the respect of other people. A good rule for discussion is to use hard facts and a soft voice. Linda Rice Like the driver of a car, the conversationalist has to watch for traffic signals, the indications of when to stop and when to go on. Signs of listeners' boredom or impatience are conversational "red lights", warning you to come to a stop quickly. On the other hand, their enjoyment and attentiveness are like green lights. If people are interested in what you are saying, they will give you a "go" signal, by asking you to continue. Melanie Williams Asking irrelevant questions, making unrelated comments, finishing other people's sentences, or helping them tell a story can be very annoying. Interrupting should be only a last resort used, for example, when the speaker has been rambling, putting people to sleep, or bringing up topics that may be offensive. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Don't do to others what you wouldn't want others to do to you. B. Notice your listeners' reaction to what you are saying. C. You should be very brief. D. The Chinese have a saying that the person who shouts first has lost the argument. E. Be careful not to hurt the feelings of the people around you. F. Don't interrupt other people.
