　　E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication(交流) between patients and doctors, according to one expert.

　　“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr. Basal Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK. According to Pal, nearly 40% of American patients say they used E-mail to communicate with a doctor in the past.

　　He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer E-mail service.

　　Using E-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point patient to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It's said that more than 10,000 health-oriented websites (網(wǎng)站) already exist now.

　　However, some people worry that widespread use of medical E-mail might set up two kinds of care-one for Internet “haves” and the other for the “have-nots”.

　　But Pal points out that “by the year 2002 nearly every library will offer Internet and E-mail services in the United States”. That allows even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical E-mail.

　　“Doctors may be unwilling to offer E-mail services for fear of increasing workload (工作量) and uncertainty about payment (付款) for the time they spent,” he explained, “ and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.” But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.

　　“E-mail may help us a lot in health care, ” Pal concludes. “Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway (超級公路) less fearful than face-to-face dialogue, with their doctors.”

　　More ice melted from the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet this year than ever before recorded, report scientists from the University of Colorado. The same team found that the extent of Arctic sea ice reached the lowest level in the satellite record in 2002, offering further proof that climate change is already changing the Arctic.

　　Researchers from the University of Colorado (UC) say that the speeding up melting appears to be linked to changes in Northern Hemisphere(北半球) atmospheric circulation (環(huán)流) patterns. The study also found temperatures during the summer of 2002 were warmer than usual over much of the Arctic Ocean.

　　“It is likely that sea ice extent will continue to decline over the 21st century as the climate warms,” researchers added. “With these trends (趨勢), we may see a 20 percent reduction in the yearly average sea ice by 2050, and by then there might be no ice at all during the summer months.”

　　The report was released on Saturday at the yearly fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union, just one week after an announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that sea ice is melting about nine percent faster than earlier research had showed, and could disappear entirely by the end of this century.

　　“This trend of disappearing arctic sea ice is one example of the environmental damage that can be linked to carbon dioxide emissions,” said Morgan. “When we have the means to reduce CO₂ emissions and prevent further damage, we should do our best. National leaders must act now to improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, before it's too late.”

　　UC scientists judge that a change in the Greenland climate toward warmer conditions would lead to an increase in the rate of sea level rise, which will bring disasters to the human beings.

1．It can be inferred that________.

[　　]

A．scientists have found that Arctic sea ice is lower than before

B．scientists have studied the pictures of the Arctic sent by satellites

C．scientists began to do research on Arctic sea ice in the year 2002

D．warm temperature has hardly any effect on the extent of Arctic sea ice now but soon will

2．Scientists fear that________.

[　　]

A．there will be no ice left at all in the Arctic Ocean at the end of the 21st century

B．disasters will happen if Arctic sea ice continues to melt faster than before

C．the temperature in Greenland will be too warm for animals and human beings to live on

D．people still think Arctic sea ice is melting slowly

3．It is thought that________.

[　　]

A．carbon dioxide emissions are one of the causes of the environmental damage

B．carbon dioxide emissions are an example of the environmental damage

C．most environmental problems are caused by carbon dioxide emissions

D．people can still have the chance to solve the above environmental problem

Three women, praised as heroes for reporting bad practices at their places of work—The FBI, World Com and Enron Corporation—have been named “Persons of the Year” by Time Magazine at the end of 2002. They are Coleen Rowley from the FBI, Sherron Watkins, who worked at the now-closed Enron Corporation, and Cynthia Cooper, who made bad accounting（會計(jì)） methods at World Com known to the public. The magazine chose the three women as they value truth and have shown courage---“for believing that the truth is one thing that must be moved off the books and for stepping in to make sure that it wasn’t.” Time managing editor Jim said the women stand for an important struggle facing the US—how to rebuild trust in disgraced（丟臉的） places. “All three are sticking to what is right. All three of them are made of very strong character,” Jim said.

Rowley, 48, wrote a letter to FBI Director in May, pointing out faults of the FBI for taking no notice of signs before Sept. 11, 2001, which suggested an attack. Cooper, 38, was a World Com internal auditor（內(nèi)部審計(jì)員）. She warned the company’s board in June of US $ 3.8 billion in accounting mistakes. A month later, the telecommunications giant declared the largest bankruptcy（破產(chǎn)） in US history. Watkins, 43, sent memos（備忘錄） in August 2001 warning Enron chairman that improper accounting could cause the company to collapse. The company later declared bankruptcy and Watkins gave up her job as a vice president in November.

Time’s cover story on the three women compares them with Sept.11 firefighters as heroes chosen by chance. “They were people who did right just by doing their jobs right.”

The 2002 picks are unusual because the vast majority of the magazine’s Persons of the Year have been well-known public figures—world leaders, war heroes, corporate chiefs. Rowley, Cooper and Watkins are nationally unknown before 2002. They said some coworkers now hate them for uncovering the mistakes of their leaders.

 “There is a price to be paid,” Cooper said. “There have been times that I could not stop crying.”

1．What do the three women have in common?

    A．They have to struggle to rebuild trust in their work places.

    B．They are connected with accounting dishonors.

    C．They have something to do with the Sept. 11 attacks.

    D．They are connected with the firefighters.

2．What does the underlined word “collapse” （paragraph 3） probably mean?

    A．Use something up completely.

    B．Fail suddenly and completely.            

    C．Put forward for consideration.

    D．Give up one’s position.

3．Why is the choice of “Persons of the Year 2002” unusual?

    A．They are well-known public figures.

    B．They are white-collar women.

    C．They were not famous before.

    D．They are hated by their coworkers.

4．Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

    A．Enron Corporation declared the largest bankruptcy in US history.

    B．Sherron gave up her work for Enron one month after she sent out warnings.

    C．There were no signs of an attack before September 11.

    D．The three women are praised as heroes for their telling the truth bravely.

5．What would be the best title for the text?

    A．A Story about Three Women

    B．Honor from Truth

    C．The Cause of Bankruptcy

    D．A Struggle Facing the US

 Angela Chang didn’t know it would be so hard to turn her singing hobby into a career. Her agent used to take her to lots of auditions（試唱）at different recording studios but the Taiwanese girl was always turned down for looking too young and small.

Chang’ s talent was at last recognized in 2002 by the Decca Record Company. When she was offered a contract she burst into tears. Two years later Chang, 21, is a star. With the release of her debut album “Over the Rainbow” this year, she won the “Most Promising New Artist in Taiwan” at the CCTV-MTV Music Awards in July. In September she won the “Best New Artist” in the Fourth Chinese Music Billboard Awards.

“You just can’t believe that such an amazingly powerful voice comes from such a small body,” said musicians after hearing Chang sing “Over the Rainbow.” “It’s such a special voice. You cannot forget it.” Chang can hit very high motes（高音）clearly and beautifully.

Her tunes make Chang stand out from the numerous newcomers in the music world. But mainland fans also know her for her girl-next-door performances in Taiwanese TV dramas, “My MVP Valentine” and “At Dolphin Bay”.

But few people know that while filming her first TV series, Chang acted so badly that the director wanted to fire her. At one time it took her a record of 27 attempts to shoot one scene.

“I cried my heart out when I went back home.” Change said, “But I know that defeat is often a temporary condition. By giving up you remain defeated.”

Though she looks very girlish, Chang said she has a boy’s personality. “The way I release pressure is to have a sound sleep. When I wake up, everything is new.”

A new report says the number of foreign students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by three percent last year. This has been the first obvious increase since 2001.

American schools last fall had 583,000 foreign students. The record is 586,000. That was set in 2002 after many years of gains. But after that the numbers fell. The terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 led to more visa (簽證) requirements. Now stronger efforts are being made to get more foreign students to study in the United States.

China remained in second place in front of South Korea but behind India, which sent almost 84,000 students last fall. The number of Japanese fell sharply by nine percent, although it remained in fourth place.

There were three percent drops from Indonesia and Kenya, the only African country in the top twenty last year. But there were obvious increases from Saudi Arabia, Nepal and Vietnam. The number of Saudi students more than doubled, rising to nearly eight thousand.

For a sixth year, the University of Southern California in Los Angeles had the most foreign students. Columbia University in New York was second. Other schools in the top five were New York University, the University of Illinois and Purdue University.

Unlike American students in other countries, who often choose history and language study, the leading area of study in the USA was business and management. Second was engineering.

The new report also says more than 220,000 Americans studied in other countries. That was during the 2005-2006 school year. It was a record number, and an increase of eight and a half percent from the year before. But only five percent of them stayed for a full year.

After 2002, the number of foreign students in the USA fell mainly because ____ .

       A. Americans were worried that foreign students might attack them

       B. few American universities welcomed students from abroad

       C. their own countries could offer them a better education

Supermarket Morrisons today announced to launch an online shopping operation within two years in a move to catch up with its web-savvy rivals. The UK's fourth biggest supermarket said Morrisons.com would offer grocery and non-food products but would take time to build from zero.
As part of its online development, Morrisons - the only one of the "Big Four" grocers to have a significant internet business - revealed it had invested £32 million in a 10% stake of a New York-based online grocer. The announcement came as Morrisons posted a 13% increase in underlying pre-tax profits of £869 million in the year to January 30.
Morrisons is implementing a growth strategy which is focused on expanding its e-commerce business and moving into the convenience store market. It has earmarked £3 billion in investment over the next three years. The supermarket floated the idea of launching its own website last year and today is the first firm commitment to realising that goal.
Last month, the company took its first major step to launching an online operation with the acquisition of internet retailer Kiddicare for £70 million. The company said this move, along with the 10% "strategic" stake in American online grocer FreshDirect announced today, would help it launch its own website in the future. FreshDirect was launched in 2002 and serves 600,000 customers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The deal will see Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips join the company's board.
Morrisons also revealed it would open three convenience stores, around 3,000 sq ft in size, in July under the name M Local. The shops will be located in Morrisons' heartland in the north of England, in neighbourhoods around the M62 motorway. The company said the convenience business was the second-fastest growing part of the market. Rival models include Tesco Metro and Sainsburys Local.
