New York (Reuters) --- Television can act like a painkiller when it comes to children and is more effective than a mother’s comforting, according to a small Italian study.
The University of Siena study, published in Archives of Disease in Childhood, was based on 69 children aged 7 to 12 who were divided into three groups to have blood taken.
One group was given no distraction while the blood was being taken. Meantime mothers of children in the second group attempted to distract the youngsters by talking to them, soothing(安慰), and/or caressing them.
In the third group, the children were allowed to watch television cartoons while the procedure was being carried out.
After the samples were taken, the children and their mothers rated their pain scores.
The children recording the highest pain scores were in the group getting no distraction. These scores were about three times as high as those recorded by children allowed to watch the cartoons.
Children comforted by their mothers recorded middling scores.
On average, the mothers rated pain scores higher than the children but they also recorded the lowest pain scores for children who had been allowed to watch television.
“The higher pain level reported by children during mothers’ efforts at distraction shows the difficulty mothers have in interacting positively at a difficult moment in their children’s life,” the researchers said in their report.
They added that watching television also seemed to increase children’s pain tolerance(容忍力).
64. If children are concentrated while having their blood taken, they will _______.
A. feel no pain B. record the lowest pain scores
C. record the highest pain scores D. feel less pain
65. According to the Italian study, children who are suffering from pain had better _______.
A. get comfort from their mothers B. watch cartoons on TV
C. read picture books D. get no distraction
66. The underlined word “distract” in the third paragraph probably means “_______.”
A. reduce one’s pain B. get one’s attention away
C. help one get concentrated D. give comfort to
67. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. mothers can soothe their children greatly at hard moments
B. mothers’ love and comfort is the best medicine for children
C. children can have their pain tolerance increased by mother’s efforts
D. mothers’ comfort does not reduce much of their children’s pain

The results of the US/NATO bombing Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do this. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.
First of all, the main aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes, not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize by now how wrong they were when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.
So, what’s left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonia. It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族人) will not give up on Kosovo.
I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now, and it doesn’t frighten me anymore. I don’t turn to the shelter at the sound of warning. It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed(流血事件) in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?
72. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.
B. The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.
C. The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.
D. The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.
73. The writer is _____.
A. an American reporter B. a Chinese reporter
C. a Macedonian D. a Yugoslavian
74. What worries the writer most?
A. The continuous bombing. B. The coming of the ground troops.
C. The sound of bomb warning. D. The idea of ground troops.
75. What is the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?
A. It is the US/NATO’s duty to defend Kosovo.
B. It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.
C. The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.
D. The bombing can solve the problem of Kosovo.

The plan for this so-called ‘green cards’, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).
Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.
The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
53. From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
A. is a less-developed country B. used to be a developed country
C. is short of high-tech workers D. once lost interest in information technology

A. in June B. after July C. before August D. at any time
55. It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
A. is only in America，Britain and France
B. has nothing to do with small countries
C. is weak in Asian countries
D. will affect the future of a country

BEIJING, March 1 (Xinhua)-China"s top economic planning body has confirmed the government will take concrete actions to develop a low-carbon economy after it promised to considerably reduce carbon emission (排放) at last year"s Copenhagen Climate Conference.
China would include the low-carbon targets in the 12th five-year plan for national economic development (2011-2015) to build an energy-saving, ecologically friendly society, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a report to the Standing Committee of the 11th National People"s Congress (NPC).
The report said the government would launch a series of technological and financial support policies to promote the use of non-fossil, renewable energies including wind, solar, biomass, geothermal (地热) and nuclear power, aiming to increase its percentage of primary energy consumption to about 15 percent by 2020 from 9.9 percent at the end of last year.
China"s installed wind power capacity (容量) reached 15 million kilowatts, with 10 million kilowatts under construction at the end of June 2009, while nuclear power under construction, installed hydro-electric power capacity and solar heating collection areas were the highest in the world, it said.
The commission was also planning to make a catalog (目录) of emissions of greenhouse gases in an effort to build a monitoring and checking system to cut carbon emissions.
The economic planner decided to control unnecessary construction and industries with surplus (多余的)production capacities, such as steel, cement and electrolytic aluminum, to promote the energy efficiency and environmental protection.
The government had drafted a plan on regional development to transfer industries in eastern areas to central and western regions.
The State Council announced in November that China would reduce the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent compared with the level of 2005.

B.Setting up a system to monitor and check carbon emission.

D.Planning to move industries from eastern areas to central and western regions.
69.If you are planning to start your own business in line with the low-carbon economy, which is the best choice?
A. An iron and steel plant. B. A petrochemical works.
C. A solar heating company. D. A construction company.
