Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally __2_ your surroundings. The desire to _3_ a
book with attractive" dust-jack" (封面 ) is irresistible (不可抵抗的) although this method of selection
ought not to be __4__ ,as you might end up with a rather __5__book. You soon become absorbed in
some book or _6_ ,and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time
__7_ , and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments without buying a book, __8__ .
This opportunity to escape the realit es of everyday life is,l think,the main __9 of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can _10 such places to your heart"s content. If it is a good shop, __11_assistant will approach you with
inevitable (必不可少的) greeting : " Can I help you , sir?" You needn"t buy anything you don"t want. In a
bookshop an assistant _12_ remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then,and
13 ,are his services necessary. Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is,but
when he or she has led you there ,the assistant should _ 14 carefully and look as if he or she is not
interested in selling a __15_ book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by variety of books in a bookshop. It is very __16 to
enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest
best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something that had __17_vaguely (含糊的 )
interested you up until then. This volume on the subject,however, __18_ be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very
dangerous. _ 19_ running up a huge account,you can __20_a great deal of time wandering from section to section.

this week after officials decided that the security problems recently found at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico might also exist elsewhere.
Several computer disks went missing at Los Alamos earlier this month, forcing Energy Secretary
Spencer Ahraham to stop all work at the lab until the problems are found out. As of 26 July, two missing
disks had still not been found, and 15 employees had been suspended in connection with the
disappearance.
Now all energy labs will stop doing classified research that involves (需要) removable storage
devices-such as computer disks-until all the devices are given explanation for and new procedures are
in place for monitoring their handling by laboratory employees.
"While we have no evidence that the problems being investigated are present elsewhere . we have
a responsibility to take all necessary action to prevent such problems,"Abraham said on 23 July.
The shut-down isn"t quite as dramatic (惊人的) as it sounds,expert say. Only two labs will be
seriously affected;Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico , and Lawrence
Livemore National Laboratory in Califomia. Together with Los Alamos,these two labs conduct the most
part of the country"s nuclear weapon programmes. At Livermore, 876 employees will be suspended
during the storage of some 12,000 items of classified removable material.
At other labs , far fewer people will be affected. " The impact (影响) should be the smallest , "
says Martha Krebs , former director of the energy department"s science office.
B. Because the security problems existed elsewhere.
C. Because two missing computer disks had still not be found.
D. Because officials decided to stop doing such research.
B. Only 2.
C. More than 2.
D. Over 15.
B. stopped from holding a position
C. doubted
D. fired
B. the people living in the United States have little security
C. the United States is a country whose security is very bad
D. the missing of the computer disks caused great fear among Americans
more accessible to more people. Patients will no longer have to shell out the 7 to 15 percent extra fees
that state-owned hospitals charge on medicines. The Health Ministry" announcement last week is a
welcome first step in China"s long-delayed healthcare reform.
The new policy, to be adopted on trial basis. Is intended to stop hospitals from relying too much on
income from medicines. It is estimated that income from the sale of medicines makes up 50 percent of
a hospital"s revenue on an average. What is supposed to make the difference is the move"s intention to
get rid of the unhealthy tendency of doctors prescribing expensive drugs for their own or their hospital"s
profits rather than for the rehabilitation of patients. The government"s good intention could be just wishful
thinking if no specific measures were taken to break the nexus between representatives of medicine
manufactures and doctors or between hospitals and manufacturers. It is an open secret that some doctors get kickbacks from drug manufacturers for prescribing their drugs.
This move will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm hospitals have to urge their doctors to prescribe
expensive drugs.
It is still too early to say how much the new policy will improve the service doctors provide to their
patients and reduce the cost of healthcare since it will only be practiced in some hospitals on a trial basis
for three years. Cutting down expensive healthcare bills and improving the quality of service require more
investigations into the problem areas of the healthcare system.
Hopefully , this is just a start that will be followed up by more practical moves to make it easier and
cheaper for more people to get quality healthcare service.
B. Hospitals will have more enthusiasm in prescribing cheap drugs.
C. Patients will pay less and receive better service.
D. Doctors will not be able to get kickbacks from drug manufacturers any more.
B. The Health Ministry is not definitely sure whether the new policy will achieve expected result.
C. The cost of healthcare will drop the moment the policy is adopted.
D. Hospitals will suffer a lot as long as the policy is adopted.
B. Good relationship.
C. Promise.
D. Management.
B. Less cost,better service.
C. Good policy for hospitals.
D. China"s healthcare system.

discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened wheat formed a circle about
six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation like five dots (点) . During the following years , farmers in England found the strange circles in
their fields more and more often.
The circles are called "crop circles" because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or com.
The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but is never broken;it continues to grow, and farmers can
later harvest it. Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning, so the circles probably form at
night. They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first, people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a
Joke or farmers were making them to attract tourists. To prove that the circles were a hoax , people tried
to make circles exactly like the ones that farmers had found. They couldn" t do it. They couldn " t enter a
field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn " t flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles to communicate(交流) with us and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities. Some scientists say that a
downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that
sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. There is one problem with all these scientific explanations; crop circles often appear in groups ,
like the five-dot formation. It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
B. his grain was growing up in circles
C. his grain was moved into several circles
D. some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground
B. a special way to plant crops
C. a research on the force of winds
D. an experiment for the protection of crops
B. The farmers couldn"t make the circles round.
C. The farmers couldn"t leave without footprints.
D. The farmers couldn"t keep the wheat straight up.
B. airplane crashes
C. new farming techniques
D. unknown flying objects
