Media and Current Events
The media can impact current events.As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s,I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurnng on campus.Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV.I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage.This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village,or what one writer calls the electronic city.Consider the information that television brings into your home every day.Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone.These media extend your consciousness and your contact.For example,the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earth- quake focused on"live action"such as the fires or the rescue efforts.This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster.Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy.CNN reported events as they happened.This coverage was distributed worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992,many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters.This event was triggered by the verdict（裁定）in the Rodney King beating.We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments,and most people,who had seen the video of this beating,could not understand how the jury（陪审团）was able to acquit（宣布无罪）the policemen involved.Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events.This can have harmful results,as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles.By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading,"Can we all get along?"By Saturday,television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace.The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools.Because of that,many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding（展开）on television.The real healing , of course , will take much longer , but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.
The 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out because______.
A:the jury acquitted the policemen who had beaten Rodney King
B:people can make their own judgements
C:video coverage from helicopters had made people angry
D:video coverage had provided powerful feedback

Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success,few nations can
match Germany.Since the 1940s,the nation's vast industrial base has been fed with a
constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity
（繁荣）has faltered（衰退）over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east
and west as well as the global economic decline , it still has an enviable（令人羡慕的)
record for turning ideas into profit.
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society,a network of research
institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies.
But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger r
ole in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts
are being complemented by the federal programmes for pumping money into start-up companies,
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its
critics.These people worry that favouring applied research will mean neglecting basic
science,eventually starving industry of fresh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an
entrepreneur（企业家）,the argument goes , then the traditional principles of university
research being curiosity-driven,free and widely available will suffer.Others claim that
many of the programmes to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half
the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.
While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany's research
networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the
fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
Founded in 1949,the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe's largest organisation for
applied technology,and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people.It continues to grow.
Last year,it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in
Berlin.Today,there are even Fraunhofers in the U.S. and Asia.
The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organisation for applied technology in
A:Asia.
B: U.S.A.
C:Europe.
D:Africa.

Small but Wise
On December 14,NASA blasted a small but mighty telescope into space.The telescope is called WISE
and is about as wide around as a trashcan.Don't let its small size fool you:WISE has a powerful digital
camera,and it will be taking pictures of some of the wildest objects in the known universe,including
asteroids,faint stars,blazing galaxies and giant clouds of dust where planets and stars are born.
"I'm very excited because we're going to be seeing parts of the universe that we haven't seen be-
fore,"said Ned Wright,a scientist who directs the WISE project.
Since arriving in space,the WISE telescope has been circling the Earth,held by gravity in a polar orbit
(this means it crosses close to the north and south poles with each lap).Its camera is pointed outward,away
from the Earth,and WISE will snap a picture of a different part of the sky every 11 minutes.After six months
it will have taken pictures across the entire sky.
The pictures taken by WISE won't be like everyday digital photographs,however. WISE stands for
"Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer".As its name suggests,the WISE camera takes pictures of features
that give off infrared radiation.
Radiation is energy that travels as a wave.Visible light,including the familiar spectrum of light that be-
comes visible in a rainbow,is an example of radiation.When an ordinary digital camera takes a picture of a
tree,for example,it receives the waves of visible light that are reflected off the tree.When these waves enter
the camera through the lens,they're processed by the camera,which then puts the image together.
Waves of infrared radiation are longer than waves of visible light,so ordinary digital cameras don't see
them,and neither do the eyes of human beings.Although invisible to the eye,longer infrared radiation can
be detected as warmth by the skin.
That's a key idea to why WISE will be able to see things other telescopes can't. Not everything in the
universe shows up in visible light.Asteroids,for example, are giant rocks that float through space一but they
absorb most of the light that reaches them.They don't reflect light,so they're difficult to see.But they do
give off infrared radiation,so an infrared telescope like WISE will be able to produce images of them.During
its mission WISE will take pictures of hundreds of thousands of asteroids.
Brown dwarfs are another kind of deep-space objects that will show up in WISE's pictures.These ob-
jects are "failed" stars一which means they are not massive enough to jump-start the same kind of reactions
that power stars such as the sun.Instead,brown dwarfs simply shrink and cool down.They're so dim that
they're almost impossible to see with visible light,but in the infrared spectrum they glow.
What is so special about WISE?
A:It is as small as a trashcan.
B:It is small in size but carries a large camera.
C:Its digital camera can help astronomers to see the unknown space.
D:Never before has a telescope carried a digital camera in space.

Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,warm,and sincere.
I disregarded（不顾）my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe（晒太阳）on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me.Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model,and the girls envied （妒忌）me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However,I got a part-time job that paid pretty well during the summer vacation.
With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the other hand,did not do so well at school or at work.I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores.
Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel last June.He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore.I was shocked and looked at him in despair.
True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.
What did he do to make her happy?
A:He studied much harder.
B:He often took her for a ride.
C:He always endured her insults.
D:He often bought her presents and meals.
