问答题A recent phenomenon in the choice of careers on the part of college graduates is the increasing trend towards big companies. Few are interested in research fields. This is an unavoidable problem in a materialistic society, where tempting salaries and fringe benefits are offered by big companies to compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies. All this has not only seriously influenced young people"s view on the choice of careers, but on education as well. Many college teachers deplore that fewer and fewer students these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake.
问答题Owning a cat can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by more than a third, researchers have found. Scientists said that having a cat helped to relieve stress and anxiety, which is known to help protect against heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart rate. The 10-year study looked at 4,435 adults aged between 30 and 75, about half of whom owned a cat. The findings, presented at a stroke conference in America, showed that 3.4 percent of the cat owners died from a heart attack over 10 years. Among the group who had never owned a cat the rate was 5.8 percent.
Cat owners still had a much reduced chance of developing strokes or heart attacks when researchers took account of other factors known to trigger heart disease, including high cholesterol levels, smoking and diabetes.

问答题Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. An important part of police strategy, rapid police response is seen by police officers and the public alike as offering tremendous benefits. The more obvious ones are the ability of police to apply first-aid lifesaving techniques quickly and the greater likelihood of arresting people who may have participated in a crime. It aids in identifying those who witnessed an emergency or crime, as well as in collecting evidence. The overall reputation of a police department, too, is enhanced if rapid response is consistent, and this in itself promotes the prevention of crime. Needless to say, rapid response offers the public some degree of satisfaction in its police force. While these may be the desired consequences of rapid police response, actual research has not shown it to be quite so beneficial. For example, it has been demonstrated that rapid response leads to a greater likelihood of arrest only if responses are in the order of 1-2 minutes after a call is received by the police. When response times increase to 3-4 minutes--still quite a rapid response-- the likelihood of an arrest is substantially reduced. Similarly, in identifying witnesses to emergencies or crimes, police are far more likely to be successful if they arrive at the scene no more than four minutes on average, after receiving a call for help. Yet both police officers and the public define 'rapid response' as responding up to 10-12 minutes after calling the police for help. Should police assume all the responsibility for ensuring a rapid response? Studies have shown that people tend to delay after an incident occurs before contacting the police. A crime victim may be injured and thus unable to call for help, for example, or no telephone may be available at the scene of the incident. Often, however, there is no such physical barrier to calling the police. Indeed, it is very common for crime victims to call their parents, their minister, or even their insurance company first. When the police are finally called in such cases the effectiveness of even the most rapid of responses is greatly diminished. The effectiveness of rapid response also needs to be seen in light of the nature of the crime. For example, when someone rings the police after discovering their television set has been stolen from their home, there is little point, in terms of identifying those responsible for the crime, in ensuring a very rapid response. It is common in such burglary or theft cases that the victim discovers the crime hours, days, even weeks after it has occurred. When the victim is directly involved in the crime, however, as in the case of a robbery, rapid response, provided the victim was quickly able to contact the police, is more likely to be advantageous. Based on statistics comparing crimes that are discovered and those in which the victim is directly involved. Spelman and Brown (1981) suggest that three in four calls to police need not be met with rapid response. It becomes clear that the importance of response time in collecting evidence or catching criminals after a crime must be weighed against a variety of factors. Yet because police department officials assume the public strongly demands rapid response, they believe that every call to the police should be met with it. Studies have shown, however, that while the public wants quick response, more important is the information given by the police to the person asking for help. K a caller is told the police will arrive in five minutes but in fact it takes ten minutes or more, waiting the extra time can be extremely frustrating. But if a caller is told he or she will have to wait 10 minutes and the police indeed arrive within that time, the caller is normally satisfied. Thus, rather than emphasizing rapid response, the focus of energies should be on establishing realistic expectations in the caller and making every attempt to meet them.1.What is the main topic of the passage?

问答题It is not unusual for college students to marry. (1)Often, the college years present young adults with two things they have never had before--intimate sexual experience and freedom both of which make marriage look attractive. The unrestricted atmosphere of college life often leads students into their first in-depth sexual experiences. (2)These experiences can be so overwhelming that both partners seek a more permanent attachment, realizing that the world now treats them as adults and that they are perfectly free to marry whenever they want. Unfortunately, many college marriages do not last. Age is an important factor. Women who marry before they are 19 and men who marry before the age of 21 have the smallest possible chance of staying married. Marriages that take place when the partners are in their mid-twenties to early thirties are the ones most likely to succeed. It is not hard to recognize the reasons. The same freedom that leads younger college students into marriage can work against them. (3)Once the novelty of being married wears off, college-age newlyweds find they lack the freedom to engage in all the social activities their friends are enjoying. Whereas others are free to go out for the evening--or go away for a week--at a moment's notice, the newlyweds are tied to a schedule. Their friends may have years of freedom ahead of them, but the newlyweds are already committed to the responsibilities of marriage. (4)Often, college students lack the maturity necessary to refine their needs and desires to those of another person. This can put a further strain on the marriage as both parties argue over choice of activities, how money should be spent, and so on. And this comes at a time when both are learning about adult life and getting to know what kind of people they will be "when they grow up." Financial strains can also be a problem. In some cases, one partner will put aside her or his studies to help the other finish school. In the short term, this may seem like a good idea; but in the long term, it can be an extremely divisive force. (5)For example, one partner may complete training to be a doctor, but the other has not had the chance to train for a professional career because he or she has been providing the couple's income. Suddenly, the couple find they have few interests in common.
