Denny
His nickname is Denny. He weighs 400 pounds; he is fearless and he never goes to sleep on the job. An ideal security guard？ For many situations he may be. And if he's so good that you wish you had a dozen like him, just place your order. Denny is a robot guard.
Denny can detect, within a 150-foot radius, the presence of anything or anybody that shouldn't be there. Its swiveling (旋转) head contains microwave and infrared sensors that can detect people as well as smoke. In future editions the head will also contain sensors that can smell the weak smell of a human body.
A high-resolution TV camera in Denny's head is on at all time. When something Unexpected comes into view; the TV transmitter switches on. Thus the human overseer (看管人) in the control center sees the sudden appearance of a picture on the monitor screen. At the same time the picture is automatically videotaped.
Normal speed of the robot guards is about one mile an hour, and. they can even talk: 'you have been detected,' warns the voice from the clever guard. Denny is designed to patrol corridors and other areas after lock-down hours (of course, he can work round the clock when necessary), not to move among people. If, say, a prisoner does get near the corridor where he should not be, it'll immediately tell its base station by radio.
Denny has understandable limitations. He can't open doors or watch stairs, for example, or distinguish friend from enemy. Thus he will have to go about unarmed. And he won't be able to replace human security guards where people move about freely.
Denny is a robot guard, who
A．has mechanical anus and legs.
B．has microwave and infrared sensors.
C．has a built-in computer.
D．depends on his built-in radio for distinguishing a friend from an enemy.

M: Well, first…I think the media worsens the problem, and so does the school system. Where I live, we have thousands of security guards in the schools, and metal detectors, too. And the kids get searched as they go into school. Now all of that presents the wrong message. The kids don't feel like they're going to school. They feel like they're going to jail. And so they are more likely to become violent. I think it's a cause and-effect relationship.
W: So you're saying that the messages kids get from the media, and even from the school, are responsible for making them do bad things？
M: Yes, I am. I think that every young person is essentially good. 1 mean you see students who are violent in class, but put them on a one-to-one basis, and they are usually very friendly. It's not that they're really bad. It's that they're the product of their environment. If you give them a more caring environment, you really can change the kind of actions they take.
Who is the man working with？
A．The woman.
B．Young people.
C．Frank.
D．The media.

A Sense of Crisis
Around the world, governments see violence in schools as a growing problem.
The subject is on the agenda at a meeting of G8 education ministers in Japan in April, according to the European Commission, which is coordinating efforts by member governments of the European Union to deal with the issue. UNESCO, the United Nations' educational body in Paris, is preparing an action plan. And the U. S. administration is turning schools into hightech fortresses(堡垒) in its determination to defeat the problem.
Many educators, however, my governments are missing the point, which Kisa Savolainen of unesco says is that violence "is a problem of society reflected in the schools," and that schools are ill equipped to deal with the problem on their own.
Mrs. Savolainen, director of UNESCO's department for culture and peace, wondered how the situation would improve so long as some governments spend more money on prisons than schools, while domestic violence remains a daily reality for many children, or while teachers in somewhere continue to subject children to corporal punishment (体罚).
Nor does the American technological response do anything more than treat the symptoms, she said. It reinforces the idea in children's mind that "the whole structure of society is based on violence."
Karen Colvard, senior program officer with the Harry F. Guggenheim Foundation, which studies violence in societies, said that the security introduced in innercity high schools in New York and elsewhere played more to public misinformation that the worm is meaner than it actually is. She said the real issue was the poor quality of education in those schools.
"The Board of education should have other priorities," she said. "It should be paying more attention to educational issues, which will have a bigger impact in the long run."
While violence clearly is an obstacle to education, a response wholly based on security considerations creates an environment that is not conductive to learning, according to an educator in New York, Peter Lewis. In a study for the American Anthropological Association, he described the oppressive atmosphere of a typical innercity school: the crackle of guards' walkietalkies, the constant sirens and alarms, flashing strobe lights, beeps from metal detectors and the constant yelling of violent words derived from rap songs.
Nevertheless, following the killings at the Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, and other shootings last year, authorities in the United States are spending millions of dollars on alarm and video systems, metal detectors, physical barriers and uniformed guards—money that many educators say would have been better spent on teachers, books and better buildings.
Some educators also advocate counseling and tutoring programs, or childcare programs to prevent young students from being left on their own for hours.
Francois Marchand, president of a French institute for research into nonviolent resolution of conflict, recommends that children should be encouraged to understand aggressive instincts through role playing, which American educators call "peer mediation (调解)." The children "have to be caught young," Mr. Marchand said. "By the time they get to high school, it becomes not impossible, but a lot more difficult."
But there is considerable debate about the value of such conflict resolution programs. Some teachers believe they help institutionalize violence and are yet another distraction from the main business of teaching.
Governments do not .seem to know how to deal with the crisis, which affects both rich countries and poor. If there is conflict or violence in society, it will inevitably be reflected in the schools.
Mrs. Savolainen said there is some promise in a multipronged (多方面的) approach in th

Governments Are Trying
A 1990 United Nations survey revealed that the more highly developed countries spend an average of 2 to 3 percent of their annual budgets on crime control, while developing countries spend even more, an average of 9 to 14 percent. Increasing the size of the police force and providing it with better equipment takes priority in some localities. But results are mixed. Some Hungarian citizens complain: "There are never enough policemen to catch the criminals but always enough to catch traffic violators."
Many governments have recently found it necessary to pass tougher crime laws. For example, since "kidnapping is on the rise across Latin America," says Time magazine, the governments there have responded with laws that are "at once vigorous and ineffectual .... Passing laws is one thing," it admits, "applying them another."
It is estimated that in Britain more than 100,000 neighborhood watch schemes, covering at least four million homes, existed in 1992. Similar programs were implemented in Australia in the mid -1980's. Their aim, says the Australian Institute of Criminology, is to reduce crime "by improving citizens' awareness about public safety, by improving residents' attitudes and behaviour in reporting crime and suspicious events in the neighbourhood and by reducing vulnerability to crime with the help of property identification and installation of effective security devices."
Closed-circuit television is used in some places to link police stations with commercial premises. Video cameras are used by police, banks, and stores as a crime deterrent or as a tool for identifying lawbreakers.
In Nigeria the police have checkpoints on highways in efforts to apprehend robbers and carjackers. The government has set up a task force on trade malpractices to combat fraud. Policecommunity relations committees made up of community leaders inform. the police of criminal activity and people of questionable character.
Visitors to the Philippines note that homes are generally not left unattended and that many people have watchdogs. Businessmen employ private security guards to protect their businesses. Anti-theft devices for cars sell well. People who can afford to do so withdraw to tightly secured subdivisions or condominiums.
The London newspaper The Independent commented: "As confidence in the rule of law falls, citizens are organising the defence of their own communities in increasing numbers." And more and more people are arming themselves. In the United States, for example, it is estimated that every second household owns at least one gun.
Governments are constantly developing new methods of combating crime. But V. Vsevolodov, of the Academy of Home Affairs in Ukraine, points out that according to UN sources, so many gifted people are finding "unique methods of carrying on criminal activity" that "the training of law enforcement personnel" cannot keep up. Clever criminals funnel huge sums of money back into businesses and social services, merging with society and "gaining for themselves high positions in society."
What is the main reason for citizens to take in hand the defence of themselves？______
A．There are not enough policemen.
B．They do not trust the' rule of law.
C．The police force is inefficient.
D．Security devices do not work.
