问答题 When you are in the business of sending spacecraft to other planets, it is probably wise to do everything you can to keep your space-probes sterile(无菌的). NASA, America's space agency, certainly does so. After all, you would not want bugs from one planet to contaminate another where they might possibly thrive. But according to Curt Mileikowsky, of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stock-holm, this may already have happened naturally billions of years ago when the solar system was young. For Dr Mileikowsky has taken a century-old idea called panspermia (有生 源说), and shown that it is plausible.

问答题The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect. 13 The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain"s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen. 14 But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it. 15 Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend. The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market.

问答题别节食了，没有什么比爱情更有助于减肥，意大利一本健康杂志上发表的一篇报告如是说。 《减肥》杂志说，对80%的意大利人而言，新的恋爱兴趣是男女通用的最佳瘦身秘诀。该杂志为这篇文章走访了意大利74位减肥专家。营养学家托尼说，巧克力、其他甜食和含糖食品都会刺激神经传递素的作用，使人产生一种幸福感，但也会在人体内积聚大量热量， “因此，如果沐浴爱河能带来同样的快乐，人就不需要通过这些食品来获得幸福感。” 但浪漫的苗条效应不是永久的。 对1/3的意大利人来说，苗条效应只能持续到结婚之时：23%的人发现第一个孩子的诞生会使父母恢复原来的体形。 只有少数幸运者——大约占12%的人——体重不会反弹。这项研究既印证了“有情饮水饱”的说法，又揭示了“婚姻乃爱情坟墓”的真理，真可谓一石二鸟的效应。

问答题If you look at the matter analytically, you identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of "time" , which we can think of as fixed. 【T1】 Then there is the issue of "work" during that time which cans various in intensity. But as my professor suggested, it's not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that's important. That led rd me to a new idea: the quality of the work. 【T2】 That notion is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: "Don't work harder. Work smarter. " There's a lot of sense in that idea. If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. 【T3】 That means devising ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. 【T4】 Since "work" for students usually means "homework" the expression "work habits" should be read as "study habits". Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. 【T5】 If you learn to read and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.
