    LONDON (Reuters) — Children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which launched a global campaign on Thursday to promote more research into child medicine.
    More than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters.
    The problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.
    In the case of HIV/AIDS, the few existing pediatric therapies（儿科的疗法）developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones.
    As a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose.
    Fortunately, the WHO has drawn up the first international List of Essential Medicines for Children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.
    “But a lot remains to be done. There are priority medicines that have not been adapted for children’s use or are not available when needed,” said Dr Hans, the U.N. agency’s director of medicines policy and standards.
    Medicines that need to be adapted to children’s needs include many antibiotics, pain drugs as well as combination pills for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
    The agency is building an Internet entrance linking to clinical trials carried out in children and will launch a Web site with the information early next year.
    Testing medicines on children has always been a controversial issue, since good ethical（伦理的）practice requires informed agreement from people participating in clinical trials, which is difficult to obtain in the case of children.
    As a result, research-based drug companies have been wary of developing child-friendly medicines and general companies have been slow to produce them at lower cost.
    In an attempt to deal with the issue, both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for drugs that have been tested on children.
    小题1:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A．A Global Campaign to Promote Research into AIDS Medicine
    B．WHO Says Children are Dying for Lack of Child-sized Drugs
    C．Many People are Concerned about Children’s Drugs
    D．Measures Taken to Develop Child-friendly Medicine Quickly
    小题2:Which of the following medicine is not needed to be adapted to children’s need according to the passage?
    A．Pain killers.B．Tuberculosis.
    C．AID pills.D．Flu pills.
    小题3:Why has testing medicines on children always been a controversial issue?
    A．It is against good ethical practice
    B．Children shouldn’t take part in clinical trials.
    C．It is hard to get informed agreement from children tested.
    D．Parents don’t allow their children to be tested on medicine.
    小题4:The underlined word “wary” in the last but one paragraph means _________.
    A．fastB．fondC．cautiousD．uninterested
    小题5:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．There is still a long way to go on children’s medicine.
    B．An Internet entrance is being built to link to clinical trials carried out in children.
    C．Both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for children’s drugs.
    D．Less than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters

    When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
    Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.
    These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
    TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.
    By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.
    小题1:TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to           .
    A．save expense and avoid risks
    B．get free and useful pictures
    C．get first-hand information and pictures
    D．satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen
    小题2:We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen             .
    A．have to take a lot of risks in the course of work
    B．are tied to many TV news agencies
    C．have better skills than other cameramen
    D．need to contract out risks of work for TV companies
    小题3:According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies            .
    A. have employed enough cameramen
    B. are not willing to employ many cameramen
    C. are very mean to freelancers
    C. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured
    小题4:The author of this passage shows his           the freelance cameramen.

    It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
    Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
    However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).
    An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
    小题1:According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by        .
    A．road conditions B．the speed of modern life
    C．the large number of carsD．the behavior of the drivers
    小题2:In the writer’s opinion,        .
    A．drivers should show road politeness properly.
    B．strict traffic rules are badly needed
    C．unskillful drivers should be punished
    D． drivers should avoid traffic jams
    小题3:The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means        .
    A．politeness and impoliteness
    B．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes
    C．offering help to others as much as possible
    D．good manners and bad manners
    小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Road Politeness
    B．Traffic Problems
    C Bad Manners on the Road

    When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.
    The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:
    The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.
    Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
    Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.
    Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
    The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
    While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”
    Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
    The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
    They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.
    …
    It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?  
    小题1:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．The first family daily life.B．The first family rules.
    C．How to be good parents.D．How to be good students.
    小题2:What do the underlined words “under wraps” probably mean?
    A．Attractive.B．Calm. C．Secret.D．Public
    小题3:What has to be followed after the girls’ every trip?
    A．Emails.B．Photos.C．Homework.D．Reports.
    小题4:Which of the following is the exception for the girls?
    A．To use cell phone freely.B．To play two sports.
    C．To learn to do laundry.D．To eat their vegetables.
    小题5:Which of the following is NOT True according to the passage?
    A．The girls have to obey the rules only when they live in the White House.
    B．The girls must do their chores though there might be lots of help around.

    Talk about a real-life hero! Ten-year-old Larry Champagne from St. Louis, Missouri, hit the brake (刹车) on a runaway school bus. He saved himself and 20 other kids on board from disaster.
    It all happened in one terrible accident. On the way to school, the bus driver, Ernestine Blackman, suddenly fell ill. Seeing the car was running away, the other kids started to scream, but Larry ran to the front and stopped the bus.
    “At first I thought, ‘We’re going to die,’” says Larry, “but after I pressed the brake, I felt safe.”
    Larry’s speedy reaction made news all over the country. He appeared on TV shows as a hero. The bus company gave Larry a big gift. His school hung a medal of honor around his neck.
    “My grandmother always tells me to do what’s right,” says Larry. He thanked his brother, Jerrick, 9, who “helped me get the bus driver up” during the emergency. How did he know how to stop the bus? Larry is something of a mechanic（机械师）. He helps his grandfather work on his old truck. “He gets his hands dirty,” says his grandfather.

    With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty (死刑). Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder（谋杀）, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The argument advanced by those who are against the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is a mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent (威慑物) to crime (罪行) anyway.
    In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.
    The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the murder rate has risen to10.4 murders for each 100, 000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does stop many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered----some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected.
    小题1:The main purpose of this passage is to _________.
    A．speak for the majority
    B．argue against the value of the death penalty
    C．speak ill of the government
    D．argue for the value of the death penalty
    小题2:Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty?
    A．Air pollution.B．The war against Iraq.
    C．Equal rights.D．Election of president.
    小题3:The numbers in the last paragraph show that ______.
    A．if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reduced
    B．death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963
    C．the population of California has risen
    D．death penalty is of little value
    小题4:It can be inferred that the writer thinks that ______.
    A．the death penalty is the most important problem in the United States today
    B．the second type of murderers (in Paragraph 2) should be sentenced to death
    C．the veto of the law about death penalty is of little importance
    D．the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be discussed
