One of our main argument is that we in Western countries actually 【M1】______
have a part to play in causing the problems of the Third World. Many Third
World countries are saddle by immense debt burdens, for example. They 【M2】______
lent money at low interest rates in the 1970s, when money flooded into 【M3】______
Western banks from the oil-producing countries and was lent out to the
Third World. The interest rates have then been risen dramatically. So you 【M4】______
have a situation where a country in many cases can' t even repay the interest
, let alone the capital, on the debt. And I suppose the best example
from that I' ye come across is a country, in West Africa where the consumption 【M5】______
, the local consumption of peanuts was banned, because peanuts, if
they' re imported can bring in a great deal of foreign income. The peanut 【M6】______
is a major source of protein in this country. So you had people go hungry as 【M7】______
a result of that. The peanuts were exported to Great Britain and the United
States to feed our cattle. Those cattle then produced a surplus of milk
which we don't know what to do with. We have enough milk, more milk
than we can cope with, in the West World. And also that milk was trans- 【M8】______
formed into dried milk powder and then taken back to this country to help
feed children who were suffering from malnutrition. So that's the kind of insanely 【M9】______

But that doesn't have to be the outcome. Water shortages do not have to trouble the world--if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we 'began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.
Instead, for all uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.
Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the cheapest way to provide irrigation (灌溉) water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions (凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland.
No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.
What is the real cause of the potential water crisis？
A．Only half of the world's water can be used.
B．The world population is increasing faster and faster.
C．Half of the world's water resources have been seriously polluted.
D．Humanity has not placed efficient value on water resources.

This year, 50 percent of the 910, 000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging: 13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺).
With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes (致癌基因), which are cancer causing genes (基因), are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oneogene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to mm them off, becomes cancerous.
The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers axe initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. "Changes axe a normal part of the evolutionary process," says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, "We can't prepare a medicine against cosmic rays."
The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter. "First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a bruited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can counteract its action."
Why does the author mention the example of Pasteur？
A．To predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decade.
B．To indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are bright.
C．To prove that cancer will be cum in fifty to sixty years.
D．To ware that there is still a long way to go before cancer can he conquered.

What are special effects？ Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects Dinosaurs（恐龙） from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution inspecial effects， and it has transformed the movies we see.
The revolution began in the mid 1970s with George Lucas"s Star Wars， a film that stunned（使震惊） audiences. That revolution continues to the present， with dramatic changes in special-effects technology.
The company behind these changes is Lucas"s Industrial Light & Magic（ILM）. And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren， who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.
Muren"s interest in special effects began very early. At the age of 6， he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10， he had an 8 millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion. （Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera， moved slightly， shot again， and so on. When the shots are put together， the objects appear to move. ）
Talk to Muren and you"ll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges. By 1989， Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.
He saw computer graphics （图像） （CG） technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.
With CG technology， images can be scanned into a computer for processing， for example，and many separate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology has now reached the point， Muren says， where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel （续集）， The Lost World， the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs， suggests that this may very well be true.
The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1970s with Star Wars. 查看材料

Research begun in the early 1970s has shown that not only do good looks influence such things as choice of friends, lovers, and mates, but that they can also affect school grades, selection for jobs, and even the outcome of a trial. Psychologist Ellen Berscheid of the University of Minnesota and psychologist Elaine Walster, then at the University of Wisconsin, were among the first researchers to deal with the topic of attractiveness. Their seminal 1974 paper on the subject showed that the more attractive a person, the more desirable characteristics others will attribute to him or her. Attractive people are viewed as being happier, more sensitive, more interesting, warmer, more poised, more sociable, and as having better character than their less attractive counterparts. Psychologist Karen Dion of the University of Toronto has dubbed this stereotypical view as: "What is beautiful is good".
Our current work at old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, with colleagues and students, focuses on the role that appearance plays in judgments made about people. Our studies have been done in a variety of settings: basic research laboratories, beauty and cosmetics industry labs, plastic and reconstructive surgery practices, psychiatric hospitals, and psychotherapeutic consulting rooms.
One topic that has led to many avenues of research is how attractiveness influences sex-typing—the tendency of people to attribute certain stereotypical qualities to each sex. Besides being perceived as sensitive, kind, interesting, and generally happy, attractive people tend to fit easily into sexual stereotypes, according to a study done by Barry Gillen, a social psychologist in our department.
Gillen speculated that attractive people possess two types of "goodness", one related to and the other unrelated to their sex. To test this hypothesis he showed a group of students photographs of both men and women of high, moderate, and low attractiveness, as determined by the previous rankings of students according to a seven-point scale (contrary to popular belief, researchers usually don't use the Bo Derek scale of 10). The judges were asked to rate the subjects according to the masculinity, femininity, and social desirability scales of the Bern Sex Role Inventory. Gillen's study found that attractive women were perceived as being more feminine, and that attractive men were viewed as being more masculine than their less attractive counterparts. This suggests a second stereotype: "What is beautiful is sex-typed."
One implication of Gillen's work that we wanted to test was whether good looks are a disadvantage for some people, especially women, in work situations that conflict with sexual stereotypes. By the late 1970s, there was already a sizable body of literature documenting the problems women face because of sex-role stereotypes. We speculated that attractive women might be at a real disadvantage when they aspire to occupations in which stereotypically masculine traits—such as being strong, independent, and decisive—are thought to be required for success.
To test that possibility we did a study with Gillen and Steve Burns, a student in our department, in which professional personnel consultants were hired to rate a "job applicant's" suitability for six positions. We matched the positions for the skill required, the prestige offered, and the degree of supervisory independence allowed. Two jobs were stereotypically masculine (automobile salesperson, and
A．appearance that hinders his/her inclination
B．intelligence that triggers his/her interest
C．appearance that touches off his/her inclination
D．sweet personality and sense of humor that arouses his/her interest
