第二篇Shopping at Second-Hand Clothing StoresWhen 33-year-old Pete Barth was in college,shopping at second-hand clothing stores was just something he did一“like changing the tires on his car."He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes atthrift shops." Even new clothes are fairly disposable（可丢掉的）and worn out after a couple of years , " Barth said. "In thrift shops,you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then,Barth,who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida,has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second一hand clothing.Some people,like him,shop to save money.Someshop for a crazy-looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment. Pat Akins , an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA)（救世军）thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little,we looked at it as recycling,"Akins said."Also,why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US一“some as big as department stores".All of the clothes are donated（捐赠）,and when they have a surplus（盈余）,they' ll have "stuff-a-bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.Julia Slocum,22,points out,however,that the huge amount of second-hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I'd say that second-hand stores are the result of our wasteful,materialistic culture,"said Slocum,who works for a pro-conservation organization,the Center for a New American Dream."Thrift shops prevent the waste from going to landfills（垃圾填埋场）;they give clothing a second life , provide cheaper clothing for those who can' t afford new ones and generate（生成）income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed（摆脱）some of the guilt for their level of consumption."What does Akins do?A:She is a soldier.B:She is an accountant.C:She is a saleswoman.D:She is a road sweeper.

Many Older Doctors Plan to Phase out Their PracticeThe results of a new survey indicate that 48 percent of physicians between 50 and 65 years of age are planning to reduce or end their clinical practice in the next 1 to 3 years.The findings also suggest that many older physicians believe that their younger counterparts do not have the work ethic they do.The survey,which was conducted by Merritt Hawkins&Associates,a Texas-based physician search and consulting firm,suggests that many older physicians are simply unhappy with the chan- ges that have taken place in medicine over the years."When Baby Boom doctors entered medicine they had control over how they practiced and the fee they charged .But the rules changed on them in mid-stream and now many are looking for a ticket out."Mark Smith,executive vice president of Merritt Hawkins&Associates,said in a state-ment."Our study is the only one I am aware of that examines the career plans of physicians in the 50-65 age group."This age group represents more than one-third of all physicians in the U.S. If they stop working in the coming years,it will have a"significant impact"on the overall supply of physicians,Smith told Reuters Health.The results of the survey ,which included 1,170 respondents（调查对象）,show that 24 per-cent of older physicians are planning to leave clinical practice all together in the next 1 to 3 years. Specifically,14 percent said they were planning on retiring,7 percent said they were looking for a medical job a non-patient care setting,and 3 percent said they were seeking a job in a non-medi-cal field.For those physicians not leaving clinical practice,many said they would make changes to re- duce the number of patients they treat. For instance,12 percent said they would begin working part-time,8 percent said they planned to stop taking new patients or markedly reduce their patient load,and 4 percent expressed a desire to work on a temporary basis.When asked about the work ethic of physicians entering practice today,68 percent of the re-spondents said that these younger doctors are not as dedicated or as hard working as physicians who entered practice 20 to 30 years ago.Fifty-seven percent of older physicians said they would not recommend medicine as a career to their own children.Similarly,44 percent said they would not select medicine as a career if they were starting out today." The most ominous（不祥的）finding is that about one half of physicians surveyed plant to ei-ther abandon patient care in the next 1 to 3 years,or significantly reduce the number of patients they see."Smith said."The U .S.already is facing a widespread shortage of physicians,should ol- der,‘workhorse’physicians choose to opt out of patient care access to medical services will be fur-ther restricted." Many older physicians in the U .S.view the work ethic of their younger counterparts______.A: with appreciationB: with disapprovalC: with jealousD: with indifference

Chimpanzees1 Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）will soon be extinct（灭绝）.If the present rate of hunting and habitat（栖息地）destruction continues, then within 20 years, there will be no chimpanzees living in the wild. But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy（悲剧）.Chimpan-zee extinction may also have profound implications（含意）for the survival of their distant relatives一human beings.2 In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes（基因组）match by ovet 98%. Compare this to the mouse, used as model for human disease in lab tests,which shares only 60% of its DNA with us.In fact, chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically,chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools.These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority（优先）.But there is another,more selfish reason to preserve the chimp.3 The chimpanzees' trump card（王牌）comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinarians（兽医）often refer to human medical text-books when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas.In parti-cular,chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases.It is this ability that is so interesting.4 For example,chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HIV,the virus that causes AIDS. Indeed,their use as experimental animals in AIDS research has de-dlined because they are so resistant.5 By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing（找到）the place where the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans,scientists hope to be able to discover which part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This,they hope,will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alteration（改变）of the human genetic sequence. The recently completed human genome sequencing project has shown that such an effort is now well within our reach.Chimpanzee extinction may affect______.A: some human disease treatmentsB: some diseasesC: human survivalD: human genomesE: key areasF: healthier lifestyle

Canadian Parents Win Legal Battle against HomeworkUsually it is the children,not the parents,who are reluctant to spend their evenings practicing spelling and learning times tables.______(1)Shelli and Tom Milley,two lawyers from Calgary,Alberta,launched their highly unu- sual case after years of struggling to make their three reluctant children do school work out of classroom. After waging a long war with their eldest son,Jay,now 18,over his home-work,they decided to do things differently with their youngest two,Spencer,11,and Brittany,10.______(2)It took two years to negotiate the Milleys'Differentiated Homework Plan,which en-sures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their currentschool.______(3)In return,the pupils promise to get their work down in class,to come to school prepared,and revise for tests.They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home.“It was a constant homework battle every night,”Shelli told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper.“______(4).They shouldn't be working a second shift.”Two years ago,Shelli began collecting studies on homework,most of which suggest that,particularly for younger grades,there is no clear link between work at home and school performance. Working with the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior School,she formed a homework committee.______(5)“We think it's a parent's right to choose what's in our children's best interests”,said Shelli.“But we're thankful the school did the right thing.”_______(4)A: Homework is becoming a big burden for children.B: But a Canadian couple have just won a legal battle to free their offspring from home-work after successfully arguing there is no clear evidence it improves academic performance.C: When no firm changes resulted from the committee,the couple began negotiating the legal document that decided the matter.D: It is hard to get a weeping child to take in math problems.E: And being lawyers,they decided to make it official.F: The two-page plan, signed by the children, parents and teachers, stipulates（约定） that“homework will not be used as a form of evaluation for the children”.

Lung Cancer1 The death rate due to cancer of the lungs has increased more than 800 percent in males and has more than doubled in females during the last 25 years.It is considerably higher in urban and industrial areas than in rural districts.There are many possible causes,but it is still controversial which are most blamewor-thy.Those factors which have been mentioned most frequently are the presence of foreign particles and other irritants in the air(smoke particles,smog,exhaust fumes),and the smoking of cigarettes and cigars.2 Numerous studies have demonstrated a striking correlation between the death rate from lung cancer and smoking habits.Among heavy smokers-21 to 30 cigarettes per day-the mortality rate from lung cancer is nearly 17 times the rate from nonsmokers.It is expected that the death rate among women will increase as the present high rate of smoking among women has its effect.3 Sometimes cases of lung cancer are discovered at the time when an X-ray is taken for the purpose of detecting tuberculosis.Too often,however,a current emphasis upon the danger of exposure to radiation from X-ray machines can frighten people away from routine chest X-rays and thus prevent an early diagnosis of lung cancer.Early detection is absolutely essential if any possibility of cure is to be maintained.Modern X-ray machines in competent hands pose such slight danger,at least to those over 40 years of age,that this would be much more than offset by the advantages of discovering a tumor while it is small enough to be com-pletely removed.4 A common form of lung cancer is bronchogenic carcinoma,so-called because the malignancy originates in a bronchus.The tumor may grow until the bronchus is blocked,cutting off the supply of air to that lung.The lung then collapses,and the secretions trapped in the lung spaces become infected,with a re-sulting pneumonia or the formation of a lung abscess.Such a lung cancer can also spread to cause secondary growths in the lymph nodes of the chest and neck as well as in the brain and other parts of the body.The on-ly treatment that offers a possibility of cure,before secondary growths have time to form,is to remove the lung completely.This operation is called pneumonectomy.5 Malignant tumors of the stomach,the breast,the prostate gland and other organs may spread to the lungs,causing secondary growths.Paragraph1______ A:Common Secondary Lung CancersB:The Adwintages Brought About by Routine Chest CheckupC:Relationship Between Mortality Rate From Lung Cancer and Smoking HabitsD:Operable and Inoperable Lung CancersE:The Increasing Death Rate From Lung Cancer and Possible CausesF:An Ordinary Type of Lung Cancer

Every Dog Has His SayKimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say. Whenever she put on makeup,it would pull at her sleeve.______(1)When the dog barks,she glances at a small electronic gadget（装置）. The following “human” translation appears on its screen:“Please take me with you”“I realized that's how he was feeling.”says Fukuda.The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation machine in 2002.But 300,000 Japanese dog owners bought it.______(2)“Nobody else had thought about it,”said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara.“We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?”Bowlingual has two parts.______(3)The translation is done in the gadget using a da- tabase containing every kind of bark.Based on animal behavior research,these noises are divided into six categories:happi- ness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire.______(4)In this way,the data- base scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud“bow wow”. ______(5)It was followed by“I'm stronger than you”as the dog growled and sniffed（嗅） at the visitor.The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120.It can store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away._______(1)A: A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.B: Nobody really knows how a dog feels.C: This translated as“Don't come this way”.D: More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.E: Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.F: Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let's play”,“Look at me”, or“Spend more time with me”.
