单选题High-speed Rail on Track If an agreement signed in Germany works out,travellers of this Asian city may one day be able to zip from the downtown area to its new airport on a train riding a stream of magnetic energy at speeds up to 500 kilometres per hour. The 40-kilometres-trip-now sometimes a long hour journey when the traffic is heavy-could be cut to less than 10 minutes. Such are the goals of a costly project designed to help to "shorten'the distance between the city centre and the suburban busy airport by making it easier and faster to carry travellers to and back from the airport. The mayor of the city and Germany's Thyssen Krupp AG worked out an agreement in Berlin only several days ago that lays the groundwork for the magnetic levitation train line. They signed a commitment to carry out a feasibility study on the project and outlined the city's intention to import German technology. This project,once completed and acceptable to the two business parties, will be a double-win, the German company can benefit from exporting its technology and equipment and the city receiving German technology can improve its traffic and further strengthen its position as a cosmopolis. Called Maglev for short, the system under discussion makes use of a high-speed train levitated above a guideway and propelled by magnetic fields. The project has been in the talking stage for several months. Hans Ueberschaer, German's ambassador visited the city together with Harmut Heine, representative of Thyssen Krupp. They had an initial discussion with the mayor there about the prospect of the project. The talks were believed to be constructive and paved the way for the future talks in Berlin,where a commitment was reached. Sources familiar with the talks estimated that the project would cost US$723 million, which would cover everything from land use fees and rail construction to train cars. Completion date is 2005. A joint venture company is to be established for the project.

Could you imagine having a cut heal
almost overnight(一夜之情)? Scientists at the University of
California in San Francisco have isolated(分离) a sub- stance in rabbits that can
heal wounds in half the time! The substance, called angiogenesis(血管生成因子) factor,
stimulates the growth of blood vessels after injury. Blood vessels are essential
to recovery because they carry oxygen and nutrients to cells that both kill
germs and repair tissues. All mammals(哺乳动物), from rats to whales
to human beings, carry this substance in their bodies. Further research may
permit scientists to create artificial angiogenesis factor in the
laboratory. Angiogenesis factor, scientists say, would be of
value to patients undergoing organ transplants and skin grafts because rapid
healing would reduce the time during which infection could strike.
The substance could also help "slow healer," such as diabetics, the aged,
and the very ill. Cancer researchers are also interested in
angiogenesis factor because tumors, like other tissues, depend on blood vessels
for growth. Scientists believe that angiogenesis factor may cause this same
blood vessel growth in tumors. If antibodies (special body substances that fight
disease) against the factor could be found, cancerous tumors could be starved
and destroyed.

Late-Night Drinking Coffee
lovers beware. Having a quick "pick-me-up" cup of coffee late in the day will
play havoc with your sleep. As well as being a stimulant, caffeine interrupts
the flow of melatonin, the brain hormone that sends people into a
sleep. Melatonin levels normally start to rise about two hours
before bedtime. Levels then peak between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., before falling
again. "It's the neurohormone that controls our sleep and tells our body when to
sleep and when to wake," says Manrice Ohayon of the Stanford Sleep Epidemiology
Research Center at Stanford University in California. But researchers in Israel
have found that caffeinated coffee halves the body's levels of this sleep
hormone. Lotan Shilo and a team at the Sapir Medical Center in
Tel Aviv University found that six volunteers slept less well after a cup of
caffeinated coffee than after drinking the same amount of decal. On average,
subjects slept 336 minutes per night after drinking caffeinated coffee, compared
with 415 minutes after decal. They also took half an hour to drop off—twice as
long as usual—and jigged around in twice as much. In the second
phase of the experiment, the researchers woke the volunteers every three hours
and asked them to give a urine sample. Shilo measured concentrations of a
breakdown product of melatonin. The results suggest that melatonin
concentrations in caffeine drinkers were half those in decal drinkers. In a
paper accepted for publication in Sleep Medicine, the researchers
suggest that caffeine blocks production of the enzyme that drives melatonin
production. Because it can take many hours to eliminate
caffeine from the body, Ohayon recommends that coffee lovers switch to decal
after lunch.
