Text 2 Mothers Against Drunk Driving(MADD)has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler.“Enough is Enough”advocates dropping the Criminal Code’s blood alcohol concentration(BAC)limit from 0.08 to 0.05 percent,to“protect innocent drivers on our roads.”MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks tllat lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths.But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign. MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre.Mama,in turn,had got those numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia.The conclusions in Mann’s report seem to ignore the Swedish authors’numerous warnings and cautions,as well as the limitations in the Australian study.First,the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing,not lowered BAC levels,on fatal traffic crashes.Also.that research was started in 1976 when“liquid lunches”were far more common.What’s more.the Australian data varied:whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD’s Murie,in neighboring New South Wales,fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent. It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcoholrelated fatal erashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0.15 percent-meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit.not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or tw0.This makes MADD’s concern seem wasteful,given the downward trend in alcohol-related tramc deaths. The Canada Safety Council,the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD’s campaign.Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts. But to MADD’s Murie,the math question is simple:“If you lower BAC limits,regardless to what level,you’ll save Canadian lives.”Unfortunately,the math doesn’t quite add up. 回答下列各题: MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to_______.

A.criticize the Justice Minister

B.improve BAC measurement

C.restrict drivers’access to alcohol

D.revise the law regarding drunk driving

Text 1

Whenever Catherine Brown, a 37-year-old journalist, and her friends, professionals in their 30s and early 40s, meet at a London cafe, their favorite topic of conversation is relationships: men's reluctance to commit, women's independence, and when to have children-or, increasing-Iy, whether to have them at all. "With the years passing my chances of having a child go down, but I won't marry anyone just to have a child," says Brown. To people like Brown, babies are great-if the timing is right. But they're certainly not essential.

In much of the world, having kids is no longer a given. "Never before has childlessness been an understandable decision for women and men in so many societies," says Frank Hakim at the London School of Economics. Young people are extending their child-free adulthood by postponing children until they are well into their 30s, or even 40s and beyond.

A growing share are ending up with no children at all. Lifetime childlessness in western Germany has hit 30 percent among university-educated women, and is rapidly rising among lower-classmen. In Britain, the number of women remaining childless has doubled in 20 years.

The latest trend of childlessness does not follow historic patterns. For centuries it was not unusual for a quarter of European women to remain childless. But in the past,childlessness was usually the product of poverty or disaster, of missing men in times of war. Today the decision to have-or not have-a child is the result of a complex combination of factors, including relationships, career opportunities, lifestyle. and economics.

In some cases childlessness among women can be seen as a quiet form. of protest. In Japan, support for working mothers hardly exists. Child care is expensive, men don't help out, and some companies strongly discourage mothers from returning to work. "In Japan, it's career or child,"says writer Kaori Haishi . It's not just women who are deciding against children; according to a re-cent study, Japanese men are even less inclined to marry or want a child. Their motivations, though, may have more to do with economic factors.

46. Catherine Brown and her friends feel that having children is not _________

[ A] totally wise

[ B] a huge problem

[ C] a rational choice

[ D ] absolutely necessary

New Innovation Needs Three Phases

0 Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When initially introduced

00 into the market, the process of adoption is slow. The early models are that expensive

41 and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively very

42 small. The second phase is the explosive one, because where the innovation is rapidly

43 adopted by a large number of many people. It gets cheaper and easier to use and

44 becomes something familiar with. And then in the third stage, diffusion of the

45 Innovation slows down again, as if it permeates out across the economy. During the

46 explosive phase, the whole new industries spring up to produce the new product or

47 innovation, and up to service it. For example, during the 1920s, there is dramatic

48 acceleration in auto production, from 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929. This

49 boom was accompanied by all sorts of other essential activities necessary for an the

50 auto-based nation: Roads had to be built for the cars to run on; refineries and oil

51 wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair them. Historically speaking, the

52 same pattern is repeated again and again and with innovations. The construction of the electrical system required an enormous early investment in generation and distribution capacity.
