UN spokeswoman Marie Heuze says one purpose of the meeting is to try to learn how the cycle of violence between Israelis and Palestinians can be stopped."When you have such a high-profile for a crisis which is so dangerous, not only for the people in Palestine and in Israel, but in the region, there is a fear -- and this is probably why there was a large consensus on this meeting to discuss the issue -- because the situation in this part of the world is so volatile, so dangerous, so importantto control that everybody thinks that they have something to contribute."Ms Heuze says she thinks the United Nations and the international community as a whole can play a constructive role in the present situation and in trying to get the Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day, even the State of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. (Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.28/08/1963)4. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress. Particularly at this time, with problems we face at home and abroad. To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.

stuck in the first layer of fifteen pieces of silk. A member of the research team says while silk threads may be soft, they can be used to produce a stronger yarn than copper threads, the material used in regular bulletproof vests.2. American and Japanese researchers say they are a step closer to predicting severe weather in and around the Indian Ocean. Researchers have analyzed weather data from the region over the past 40 years and they've discovered a strong connection between extreme weather and conditions in the ocean. A BBC science correspondent says the findings could make it easier to predict droughts or, indeed, periods of heavy rainfall.3. The world chess champion Garry Kasparov began a match against the rest of the world on the Internet. Kasparov made his first move with a meter-high pawn before an audience of chess fans at a park in New York. The move was immediately posted on a special website set up by the Microsoft Corporation. Visitors to the site have 24 hours to vote on their counter move helped by a team of young chess experts who will suggest strategies.4. Few scientific advances of this or any millennium can rival in significance the discovery of the structure of DNA, the basic molecule of life. Knowledge of the structure of DNA helps explain many things, including genetic mutation and, through it, evolution. Understanding its code has helped to unlock the mechanics of inherited disease, as well as beneficial biological traits such as intelligence and body strength. The discovery of the DNA molecule also paved the way for many of today’scutting-edge science, including genetic engineering, a controversial branch of knowledge that raises new ethical and moral questions that are certain to be with us into the next millennium.5. Some say it's hard to find good help these days, but a Japanese electronics firm thinks it's found the answer. It's a robot that talks and understands orders. The robot from NEC can record and send video mail through the Internet and switch on TVs and VCRs. And if it's becoming a bit warm for you, one simple command and the robot will switch on the air conditioner.Bkey words:force of attraction…引力spark…火花, 星火, 触发penetrate…穿透, 渗入electromagnetic waves …电磁波fungus …菌类,霉resistance to movement …运动阻力energy-efficient …高效节能opaque…不透明ruby…红宝石ferment .. .发酵, 酵母ball bearing …球轴承lubricating oil…润滑油Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation ( LASER)…受激辐射光放大，激光Subjects that the speakers are talking abut and their tones of voice:Subject Tone of voice1.

There are many different kinds of them but the best known are the ones used in cooking and brewing.

Remember when television was considered a fad of the future? "It may not be long before our news events and current world happenings will be witnessed in thousands of homes." Boy, were they wrong?This recorder shows how far television has come. T-Bo's personal TV, an NBC investment, is one of the products that caught Cantra's eye."One of the benefits of having a computer recording video is that the computer can read the video broadcast as it comes in so if the phone rings, you can hit pause on a live broadcast."And not only that, this sort of smart VCR learns which TV shows and characters you like to watch and records them for you. This device is only one of a hundred items, Cantra says, best represents the future. And while we couldn't show you all of them, here are a few that reflect some of the new trends.Like Ericsson's R380. You can make calls, browse the web, check your calendar and send and receive email, all in this one device."This cell phone actually shows us the future of integrated devices."And I bet you can't guess what this is? Although it looks like a watch, in fact, it's a camera. That's right. A camera."The P3 wrist camera sort of talks to that whole concept of miniaturization and having devices integrated into things that you wouldn't think of."And while the pictures are pretty good, only you can decide whether they're worth two grand.And how about this? It's a prototype computer that puts your mobile laptop to shame. "The IBM wearable PC definitely gives you a vision into what's gonna be coming down the line. We will be carrying these kinds of computing devices and you will need to only access the information somehow. Whether that's through an earpiece or whether it's just integrated into your clothing."The PC weighs less than a pound and clips onto your belt. The monitor, about the size of a pen cap rests an inch from your eye.But if you don't necessarily wanna work during your down time, something like the Panasonic portable DVD player might be the gadget for you."The ability to have a very small compact device where you can watch movies or listen to CDs is something that any business traveler will tell you is a great benefit." If you're more the adventurous type, then Casio's GPS watch is a must (to) have."A few years down the line, instead of just having, you know, your coordinates, it can actually tell you where you are on a map and give you directions."Over the past several years, we've seen electronics get smaller, faster and better and that trend is going to continue into the next century."The theme for electronics in the future is the combination of computers and communications and then having them disappear from our sight."But Cantra says these new technologies are not just about bits and bites."When you look at new technologies, they're based on the past and what we think that we need, but a lot of times it's just sheer human inventiveness that takes it to this next step. And there's nothing more exciting than finding a new way of being able to reach out and share information."Part III Nobel prize winners in physics and chemistryStatements:1. The common theme in the award-winning research is the huge advances made in electronics and information technology.2. The physics prize is about the electronics of today and the chemistry prize is about the electronics of the future.3. The new Nobel physics laureates have laid a stable foundation for modern information technology.4. Kilby's invention is more pervasive and more influential today than any invention of the 20th century.B. Tapescript:Four Americans, a Russian and a Japanese scientist have won this year's Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry. The common theme in the award-winning research is the huge advances made in electronics and information technology.The physics prize is about the electronics of today and the chemistry prize is about the electronics of the future. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards them, says the new Nobel physics laureates have laid a stable foundation for modern information technology. Marc Brodsky, the director of the American Institute of Physics, puts it another way."I think it's recognizing what you might call the clever physics inventions behind much of today's electronic technology."Half the 915-thousand-dollar physics prize goes to Jack Kilby of the United States. As a Texas Instruments Corporation researcher in the late 1950s, he co-invented the integrated circuit on a silicon chip -- the heart of today's miniature electronics.The other half of the money is split between Zhores Alferov of the IoffePhysico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia and Herbert Kroemer, a German-born researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara. The Swedish Academy is honoring them for their inventions of fast optical and microelectronic components found in compact disk players and bar code readers and which help push information through the Internet's optical fibers.Of all the work, Marc Brodsky assigns the greatest importance to that of Jack Kilby for the integrated circuit."Clearly Kilby's is more pervasive and more influential today than perhaps any invention of the 20th century. He invented the integrated circuit along with Bob Noyce, who independently did it. Bob Noyce was one of the founders of Intel. Of course, Noyce has passed away, so not eligible for Nobel Prize."The integrated circuit combines many transistors on a single tiny silicon chip."It took transistors from being just a replacement for tubes --one element in a circuit -- to (being) able to put them all together on a single chip, a single piece of silicon no bigger than a fingernail, and have millions if not billions of circuits on a single chip." The integration of transistors and further miniaturization led to more efficient packaging, allowing a flood of small, speedy electronic devices like calculators and eventually personal computers.Meanwhile, the Nobel chemistry prize goes to Alan Heeger of the University of California at Santa Barbara, Alan MacDiarmid of the University of Pennsylvania, and Hideki Shirakawa of the University of Tsukuba in Japan.The Swedish Academy recognizes them for their revolutionary discovery at the end of the 1970s that plastic can --- with certain chemical modifications -- conduct electricity. The result has led to lighter weight, cheaper plastic versions of many electronic devices, such as the light emitting diodes that illuminate digital clock numerals. In addition, the discovery provides a foundation for the development of molecular computers. Transistors and other electronic components may one day consist of individual molecules, which will reduce the size and weight of our computers as dramatically as the integrated circuit has.。

This news item is about a new research on writing which shows that writing can result in clinically meaningful outcomes.orThis news item is about a new research on writing which shows that writing can help people with chronic illnesses improve their health.5. This news item is about the theory and function of acupuncture.A21. The surgery was performed a week ago on a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease.2. The effectiveness of chemotherapy can be increased by inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by cancer cells.3. Glaucoma involves the death of brain cells.4. The study adds to the growing amount of scientific literature suggesting thatmeeting patients’ psychological needs produces physical health benefits.5. One of the key benefits of acupuncture is that it has few side-effects and that when used with standard drug treatment it allows physicians to cut back on medication. Tapescripts:1. The world's leading transplant surgeon, Dr Christopher Bernard, has carried out one of the most difficult brain tissue transplants yet attempted. The South African surgeon has succeeded in transplanting tissues into the human brain in what is thought to be the first operation of its kind. The surgery was performed a week ago on a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease. A portion of the patient's adrenal gland was implanted into a part of the patient's brain, an operation which has previously been performed only on rats and monkeys.2. Approximately a-third of all people develop cancer at one point in their lives. Chemotherapy has its limitations, but it is one of the major treatment options. Some American scientists have discovered they can increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy by inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by cancer cells.3. Glaucoma is responsible for blindness in an estimated 67 million people around the world. Until now, treatments have focused exclusively on the eyes. But that may change in the next few years, following the discovery that glaucoma involves the death of brain cells.4. New research shows that the simple act of writing down thoughts about a stressful event can help people with chronic illnesses improve their health. This is the first study to show that writing can result in clinically meaningful outcomes for chronically-ill patients. The study adds to the growing amount of scientific literature suggesting that meeting patients' psychological needs produces physical health benefits.5. Traditional Chinese medicine says that good health is associated with the balance of qi. Qi can be hindered or helped by yang and yin. According to traditional theory, the goal of acupuncture is to promote the flow of qi by keeping yin and yang in balance- and this is done by inserting needles at various points along primary channels and meridians that crisscross the body. One of the key benefits ofA pun on the word for farming. It means using farm animals such as cows, goats and pigs that have been genetically changed to produce pharmaceutical drugs. Pharming beginning with a "ph" is pronounced the same as farming beginning with an “f.”. 5. FrankensteinFrankenstein refers to the novel of that name by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797- 1851). The novel is about a scientist who creates a subhuman creature that ends up destroying him. So Frankenstein means any "creation that ends up destroying the creator."Part II Eating right for good healthAKey words:superfoods 超级食品powerful chemicals 效力大的化学物质phytochemicals 植物化学物质herbs 草药soy 黄豆cruciferous vegetable family 十字花科蔬菜家族Omega 3 欧米加3 Vocabulary:vibrantly 充满活力地dietician 营养师,饮食学家rosemary 迷迭香thyme百里香turmeric 姜黄anti-inflammatory 消炎colon 结肠rectal 直肠Brussels sprouts球芽甘蓝cruciferous 十字花科lycopene 番茄红素prostate 前列腺citrus柑橘limonoids 柠檬苦素类化合物phenol 苯酚cantaloupe哈密瓜carotenoids 类胡萝卜素flavonoid 类黄酮ellagic acid 鞣花酸antioxidant 抗氧化剂toxicity 毒性flaxseed 亚麻籽fatty acid 脂肪酸osteoprosis 骨质疏松shallot 亚实基隆葱，青葱eukemia 白血病A1 Names of superfoods：1.

Research now shows some foods, including tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil —are among the super foods. Super foods are packed with powerful chemicals that may offer your body great protection against chronic disease —“Including cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Vibrantly colored red, yellow, orange and green all giving you different types of phytochemicals(植物化学物质)!”Natalie Ledesma is a registered dietician at U.C.S.F. She says compounds found in super foods — called phytochemicals — can reduce the risk of cancer, boost the immune system, and protect the heart. She showed us what everyone should try to eat each week for optimal health.On her shoppinglist? Herbs!“Dark green ones (herbs), like rosemary(迷迭香) and thyme(百里香)，and any intensely colored spice, Like turmeric(姜黄) or red pepper.”“Both of those have anti-inflammation properties.”Turmeric may reduce the risk of Leukemia(白血病)，skin and liver cancers. Hot peppers may reduce the risk of colon(结肠), stomach, and rectal(直肠) cancers. Also on the list: green veggies(vegetables), but not any green veggy.Brussel sprouts are part of the cruciferous(十字花科的) vegetable family that has significant anti-cancer properties, and that family also has a very favorable effect on hormone metabolisms.”Other cruciferous veggies include cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. And don’t forget the tomato.“It is probably the best source of lycopene(番茄红素)，which is one of the phytochemicals that has shown significant anticancer properties, especially with prostate and potentially lung and breast cancer as well.”As for fruit, citrus(柠檬，柑桔) contains Vitamin C, limonoids(柠檬苦素类化合物), and phenols(酚类), which inactivate cancer cells and strengthen the immune system.Cantaloupes, mangos, and carrots contain cancer fighting carotenoids(类胡萝卜素). And berries(浆果和某些干果仁) are bursting with flavonoids and ellagic acid—antioxidants that protect against cancer, ulcers, and viruses. Natalie recommends organic.“Organic fruits and vegetables have shown not only to have lower pesticide toxicities and lower pesticide levels, but also now have been shown to have higher phytochemical content.”Don’t forget the fatty fish or flaxseed — both are excellent sources of Omega 3 fatty acids that inhibit the growth of cancer cells and boost the immune system, olive oil, which may reduce breast, prostate, or colon cancer, and soy.“Soy has protective effects for heart disease as well as osteoporosis, potentially.”And finally onions, garlic, and shallots(亚实基隆葱，青葱). They may protect the heart, fight cancer, and help with asthma(哮喘).BKey words: cardiovascular disease心血管疾病salt reduction降盐daily salt instake 每日食盐摄入量crucial 关键,紧要stroke中风borderline 边缘,边界线Research ReportI. …Harvard Medical SchoolII …borderline high blood pressureIII.…10 to 7IV.Result of study:A. …cardiovascular …by a quarterB. chances of dying from cadiovascular disease falling by 1/5V.Experts’suggestions:A. …no more than 3 gramsB. …fast foodC. …labelsD. …fresh fruit and vegetableTapescript:(Salt is crucial to our health, but too much of it can put human at risk from high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. …)Part III Medical emergency 911Key Words:Paramedic …护理人员blood pressure …血压intravenous …静脉blood plasma ….血浆Medevac helicopter …医疗后撤直升机trauma …创伤summon …召唤diapatch …派遣,调度contagious …传染性的,会感染的stretcher …担架System Communication Center. ..系统通信中心State Police helicopters …国家警用直升机US Park Police Helicopters …美国公园警察直升机A(3) a.

What is SYSCOM?Statewide System communication Center10. What important function docs SYSCOM serve?Dispatch point for helicopters11. What can SYSCOM do for paramedics?Connect them by radio to hospitals and emergency specialists12. According to Dr R. Adams Cowley, what needs to be done in order to save a person's life?Stop bleeding and restore blood pressure within an hour of accidentTapescript:Maryland may be a small state, but it's a major player in developing emergency medical services. There are 49 hospitals that have 24-hour emergency departments. Nine of those hospitals are specially designated shock trauma centers, and there's a sophisticated communication center that links the state's ambulances, helicopters, andthe hospitals."A serious accident happens. Pre-hospital staff --paramedics, emergency medical technicians--through a sophisticated communication system know where and when the accident happened, and they are summoned immediately to provide the initial, quick, life-saving care."That's Dr Philip Militello. He's head of trauma surgery for the state system. If you have a serious injury anywhere in Maryland, this system will get you the right treatment with the least delay. What kind of help do you need? Where's the closest hospital? Should you go by ambulance or by helicopter? The answers to these questions come through sophisticated communications. The system springs into action with a telephone call to 911, your local emergency number anywhere in the state. "Fire and rescue.”'If you're injured, your call is forwarded to the fire department's emergency rescue service. Based on the information you give them, they send a radio call for the nearest available help."He has been shot. Hold on while I dispatch an ambulance."A man has shot himself. The nearest available shock trauma ambulance is twenty minutes away. But a paramedic supervisor with some emergency medical equipment in his car responds to the radio call and arrives on the scene within nine minutes. The supervisor, Lieutenant Mike Fahey, is a nationally certified paramedic. He quietly talks to the patient while he bandages the bullet hole. Finding the patient's blood pressure alarmingly low, he immediately starts intravenous blood plasma. His movements are deliberate and his voice is calm."Come in. Take control of the situation. Remain calm. Chaos is contagious, and so is the calm that you have. When the patient looks up at you and you're calm, then you're reassuring. Then they calm down."The paramedic ambulance with advanced life support equipment arrives twelve minutes later, and Fahey's patient is loaded on a stretcher, ready to go. But the patient is in shock. If he stays in shock, he has a poor chance of survival. Inside the ambulance, they start another line of plasma and apply medical anti-shock trousers.Those are rubberized trousers to squeeze the blood from the legs back to the brain and other vital organs. Through radio communication everyone has agreed to send him by ambulance to the regional shock trauma center. It's only six minutes by land; it's available; and the regional center is equipped for his particular injury."They're putting on the trousers now. As soon as they get that, they'll be able to start going down the highway. '"If we can get the patient to the trauma center within twenty minutes, we go by land. If it's going to be longer than twenty minutes, we try to go by air."Captain Linda Sterling. She's Mike Fahey's boss at the local emergency medical service. When one of her paramedics needs a medevac helicopter, the request goes quickly to the SYSCOM, the statewide System Communication Center. Throe large screens dominate the darkened room at SYSCOM. The right screen shows which hospital can take what kind of injury. The center screen shows the location of all medevac helicopters. And the one on the left shows the helicopter landing pad at the main shock trauma center. SYSCOM operations chief Andy Polavski tells us what's happening."Part of the operation here is the SYSCOM operation: system communications. They serve as the coordinators of the medevac activity in the state. This is the dispatch point for the State Police helicopters and the U.S. Park Police helicopters." SYSCOM can also connect by radio any paramedic in the state with any hospital or any emergency specialist. In shock trauma injuries, minutes can mean life or death. Maryland's communication system saves precious time by connecting citizens, ambulances, helicopters, and hospitals. Dr R. Adams Cowley, founder of the system, said, "If I can get you and stop your bleeding and restore your blood pressure within an hour of your accident, then I can probably save your life.

This news item is about a new research on writing which shows that writing can result in clinically meaningful outcomes.orThis news item is about a new research on writing which shows that writing can help people with chronic illnesses improve their health.5. This news item is about the theory and function of acupuncture.A21. The surgery was performed a week ago on a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease.2. The effectiveness of chemotherapy can be increased by inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by cancer cells.3. Glaucoma involves the death of brain cells.4. The study adds to the growing amount of scientific literature suggesting thatmeeting patients’ psychological needs produces physical health benefits.5. One of the key benefits of acupuncture is that it has few side-effects and that when used with standard drug treatment it allows physicians to cut back on medication. Tapescripts:1. The world's leading transplant surgeon, Dr Christopher Bernard, has carried out one of the most difficult brain tissue transplants yet attempted. The South African surgeon has succeeded in transplanting tissues into the human brain in what is thought to be the first operation of its kind. The surgery was performed a week ago on a patient suffering from Parkinson's disease. A portion of the patient's adrenal gland was implanted into a part of the patient's brain, an operation which has previously been performed only on rats and monkeys.2. Approximately a-third of all people develop cancer at one point in their lives. Chemotherapy has its limitations, but it is one of the major treatment options. Some American scientists have discovered they can increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy by inhibiting a natural defense mechanism employed by cancer cells.3. Glaucoma is responsible for blindness in an estimated 67 million people around the world. Until now, treatments have focused exclusively on the eyes. But that may change in the next few years, following the discovery that glaucoma involves the death of brain cells.4. New research shows that the simple act of writing down thoughts about a stressful event can help people with chronic illnesses improve their health. This is the first study to show that writing can result in clinically meaningful outcomes for chronically-ill patients. The study adds to the growing amount of scientific literature suggesting that meeting patients' psychological needs produces physical health benefits.5. Traditional Chinese medicine says that good health is associated with the balance of qi. Qi can be hindered or helped by yang and yin. According to traditional theory, the goal of acupuncture is to promote the flow of qi by keeping yin and yang in balance- and this is done by inserting needles at various points along primary channels and meridians that crisscross the body. One of the key benefits ofA pun on the word for farming. It means using farm animals such as cows, goats and pigs that have been genetically changed to produce pharmaceutical drugs. Pharming beginning with a "ph" is pronounced the same as farming beginning with an “f.”. 5. FrankensteinFrankenstein refers to the novel of that name by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797- 1851). The novel is about a scientist who creates a subhuman creature that ends up destroying him. So Frankenstein means any "creation that ends up destroying the creator."Part II Eating right for good healthAKey words:superfoods 超级食品powerful chemicals 效力大的化学物质phytochemicals 植物化学物质herbs 草药soy 黄豆cruciferous vegetable family 十字花科蔬菜家族Omega 3 欧米加3 Vocabulary:vibrantly 充满活力地dietician 营养师,饮食学家rosemary 迷迭香thyme百里香turmeric 姜黄anti-inflammatory 消炎colon 结肠rectal 直肠Brussels sprouts球芽甘蓝cruciferous 十字花科lycopene 番茄红素prostate 前列腺citrus柑橘limonoids 柠檬苦素类化合物phenol 苯酚cantaloupe哈密瓜carotenoids 类胡萝卜素flavonoid 类黄酮ellagic acid 鞣花酸antioxidant 抗氧化剂toxicity 毒性flaxseed 亚麻籽fatty acid 脂肪酸osteoprosis 骨质疏松shallot 亚实基隆葱，青葱eukemia 白血病A1 Names of superfoods：1.

Research now shows some foods, including tomatoes, onions, garlic, and olive oil —are among the super foods. Super foods are packed with powerful chemicals that may offer your body great protection against chronic disease —“Including cancer, obesity, and heart disease. Vibrantly colored red, yellow, orange and green all giving you different types of phytochemicals(植物化学物质)!”Natalie Ledesma is a registered dietician at U.C.S.F. She says compounds found in super foods — called phytochemicals — can reduce the risk of cancer, boost the immune system, and protect the heart. She showed us what everyone should try to eat each week for optimal health.On her shoppinglist? Herbs!“Dark green ones (herbs), like rosemary(迷迭香) and thyme(百里香)，and any intensely colored spice, Like turmeric(姜黄) or red pepper.”“Both of those have anti-inflammation properties.”Turmeric may reduce the risk of Leukemia(白血病)，skin and liver cancers. Hot peppers may reduce the risk of colon(结肠), stomach, and rectal(直肠) cancers. Also on the list: green veggies(vegetables), but not any green veggy.Brussel sprouts are part of the cruciferous(十字花科的) vegetable family that has significant anti-cancer properties, and that family also has a very favorable effect on hormone metabolisms.”Other cruciferous veggies include cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. And don’t forget the tomato.“It is probably the best source of lycopene(番茄红素)，which is one of the phytochemicals that has shown significant anticancer properties, especially with prostate and potentially lung and breast cancer as well.”As for fruit, citrus(柠檬，柑桔) contains Vitamin C, limonoids(柠檬苦素类化合物), and phenols(酚类), which inactivate cancer cells and strengthen the immune system.Cantaloupes, mangos, and carrots contain cancer fighting carotenoids(类胡萝卜素). And berries(浆果和某些干果仁) are bursting with flavonoids and ellagic acid—antioxidants that protect against cancer, ulcers, and viruses. Natalie recommends organic.“Organic fruits and vegetables have shown not only to have lower pesticide toxicities and lower pesticide levels, but also now have been shown to have higher phytochemical content.”Don’t forget the fatty fish or flaxseed — both are excellent sources of Omega 3 fatty acids that inhibit the growth of cancer cells and boost the immune system, olive oil, which may reduce breast, prostate, or colon cancer, and soy.“Soy has protective effects for heart disease as well as osteoporosis, potentially.”And finally onions, garlic, and shallots(亚实基隆葱，青葱). They may protect the heart, fight cancer, and help with asthma(哮喘).BKey words: cardiovascular disease心血管疾病salt reduction降盐daily salt instake 每日食盐摄入量crucial 关键,紧要stroke中风borderline 边缘,边界线Research ReportI. …Harvard Medical SchoolII …borderline high blood pressureIII.…10 to 7IV.Result of study:A. …cardiovascular …by a quarterB. chances of dying from cadiovascular disease falling by 1/5V.Experts’suggestions:A. …no more than 3 gramsB. …fast foodC. …labelsD. …fresh fruit and vegetableTapescript:(Salt is crucial to our health, but too much of it can put human at risk from high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. …)Part III Medical emergency 911Key Words:Paramedic …护理人员blood pressure …血压intravenous …静脉blood plasma ….血浆Medevac helicopter …医疗后撤直升机trauma …创伤summon …召唤diapatch …派遣,调度contagious …传染性的,会感染的stretcher …担架System Communication Center. ..系统通信中心State Police helicopters …国家警用直升机US Park Police Helicopters …美国公园警察直升机A(3) a.

What is SYSCOM?Statewide System communication Center10. What important function docs SYSCOM serve?Dispatch point for helicopters11. What can SYSCOM do for paramedics?Connect them by radio to hospitals and emergency specialists12. According to Dr R. Adams Cowley, what needs to be done in order to save a person's life?Stop bleeding and restore blood pressure within an hour of accidentTapescript:Maryland may be a small state, but it's a major player in developing emergency medical services. There are 49 hospitals that have 24-hour emergency departments. Nine of those hospitals are specially designated shock trauma centers, and there's a sophisticated communication center that links the state's ambulances, helicopters, andthe hospitals."A serious accident happens. Pre-hospital staff --paramedics, emergency medical technicians--through a sophisticated communication system know where and when the accident happened, and they are summoned immediately to provide the initial, quick, life-saving care."That's Dr Philip Militello. He's head of trauma surgery for the state system. If you have a serious injury anywhere in Maryland, this system will get you the right treatment with the least delay. What kind of help do you need? Where's the closest hospital? Should you go by ambulance or by helicopter? The answers to these questions come through sophisticated communications. The system springs into action with a telephone call to 911, your local emergency number anywhere in the state. "Fire and rescue.”'If you're injured, your call is forwarded to the fire department's emergency rescue service. Based on the information you give them, they send a radio call for the nearest available help."He has been shot. Hold on while I dispatch an ambulance."A man has shot himself. The nearest available shock trauma ambulance is twenty minutes away. But a paramedic supervisor with some emergency medical equipment in his car responds to the radio call and arrives on the scene within nine minutes. The supervisor, Lieutenant Mike Fahey, is a nationally certified paramedic. He quietly talks to the patient while he bandages the bullet hole. Finding the patient's blood pressure alarmingly low, he immediately starts intravenous blood plasma. His movements are deliberate and his voice is calm."Come in. Take control of the situation. Remain calm. Chaos is contagious, and so is the calm that you have. When the patient looks up at you and you're calm, then you're reassuring. Then they calm down."The paramedic ambulance with advanced life support equipment arrives twelve minutes later, and Fahey's patient is loaded on a stretcher, ready to go. But the patient is in shock. If he stays in shock, he has a poor chance of survival. Inside the ambulance, they start another line of plasma and apply medical anti-shock trousers.Those are rubberized trousers to squeeze the blood from the legs back to the brain and other vital organs. Through radio communication everyone has agreed to send him by ambulance to the regional shock trauma center. It's only six minutes by land; it's available; and the regional center is equipped for his particular injury."They're putting on the trousers now. As soon as they get that, they'll be able to start going down the highway. '"If we can get the patient to the trauma center within twenty minutes, we go by land. If it's going to be longer than twenty minutes, we try to go by air."Captain Linda Sterling. She's Mike Fahey's boss at the local emergency medical service. When one of her paramedics needs a medevac helicopter, the request goes quickly to the SYSCOM, the statewide System Communication Center. Throe large screens dominate the darkened room at SYSCOM. The right screen shows which hospital can take what kind of injury. The center screen shows the location of all medevac helicopters. And the one on the left shows the helicopter landing pad at the main shock trauma center. SYSCOM operations chief Andy Polavski tells us what's happening."Part of the operation here is the SYSCOM operation: system communications. They serve as the coordinators of the medevac activity in the state. This is the dispatch point for the State Police helicopters and the U.S. Park Police helicopters." SYSCOM can also connect by radio any paramedic in the state with any hospital or any emergency specialist. In shock trauma injuries, minutes can mean life or death. Maryland's communication system saves precious time by connecting citizens, ambulances, helicopters, and hospitals. Dr R. Adams Cowley, founder of the system, said, "If I can get you and stop your bleeding and restore your blood pressure within an hour of your accident, then I can probably save your life.

Unit 7 Future of CommunicationPart I Warming upATapescript:even think of trying to tell them you're a famous footballer or brain surgeon or television presenter.engine that searches "all the web, all the time."B.National Geographic:Hunger Site:Ask Jeeves Site:Tapescript:1. National Geographic, the magazine, has redesigned its website with some new features. Among them, an opportunity for readers to help choose the magazine's cover, interviews with National Geographic photographers, and lots and lots of pictures. More pictures in fact than there was room for in the print version. There's also Zip U. S. A., the feature you can find both online and in print. It's a focused look at one zip code in the U. S.2. Now, there's a website created to help alleviate world hunger called the Hunger Site. Contributions, generated when computer users visit the site on the Worldwide Web, are donated to the United Nations World Food Program. "The beauty of the site is that when the web surfer clicks on, they don't pay a penny." This is Abby Spring, a World Food Program official. She says that funds to purchase the food come from corporate donors who make a financial contribution each time an individual logs on toHungersite -- that's one word -- dot com. Abby spring says that so far, thanks to Hungersite dot com, the World Food Program has been able to distribute food valued at approximately $400,000.3. The Ask Jeeves Site on the Internet is one of the most useful Internet sites for asking questions in simple English and getting direct answers. Ask most search engines a question these days and they will return a result which gives thousands of pages for you to search. The Ask Jeeves Site gives you half a dozen where you can find the exact answer. The Ask Jeeves Site owners say they have dealt with more than 150 million questions since Ask Jeeves was set up in 1997. Just this month, people were asking Jeeves the following questions: What are the latest scores for baseball? What is the address of the website for Coca-Cola? Where can I find a list of airfare travel bargains? Tell me the names of the top 20 universities and colleges in the U.S.knew Professor McLuhan, and discusses his impact in a volume entitled Digital McLuhan: A Guide to the Information Millennium.I. Mr. Levinson, why is Marshall McLuhan such an important figure?L. Well, he did his writing in the 1950s,1960s and 1970s. And those decades, of course, were the first years of television. And he was the first thinker to really look at television as something that had a serious impact upon our society. Interestingly, although he was writing about television, an enormous amount of what he said has even more applicability to the Internet age. For example, he said that television was turning the world into a global village. What he meant by that is when everyone watches the same thing on the television screen, that group that's watching that television program is a community of sorts. It's like the people in a village all hearing and seeing the same thing. In contrast, now in the 1990s, as we move into the new millennium, when people communicate on the web, and through the Internet, they are not only doing and hearing and seeing the same thing, they are also participating, communicating among each other. And so, the notion of village becomes much more meaningful and real in our digital age.I. TV was a... or is a one-way medium, whereas the Internet is a ... is two-way.L.. That's right. There is a crucial difference right there. Most media in the 20th century, in fact all the major media of the 20th century radio, motion pictures, television --were and are like newspapers and books, one-way media. The telephone, which of course was invented in 1876, is a two-way medium. But, it's a two-way personal medium. There is nothing public, or there shouldn't be much public about a telephone conversation. What makes the Internet so different is that it is public but itis also interactive and two-way.I. Marshall McLuhan saw a time when everyone would be a publisher. He was referring to the Xerox machine, the copying machine. Today, we have the Internet which makes everybody an editor, and ... or makes everybody a publisher but not an editor. Isn't this a problem when everybody is a publisher but there is no editor around? L. The traditional value of the editor is to, in some way, stipulate and vouch for the quality of the publication of the production. So yes, there is a concern that whenanyone can put anything on a web page, you know, there is no safeguard for the quality. But, on the other hand, and there is always another hand, I think the reason why McLuhan celebrated first the Xerox, allowing every author to be a publisher, and why I'm now so pleased that the web is even expanding and amplifying that, is ... there is also the danger of editors keeping out of the mix things that are good. What the web does is it removes the middle man and allows the creator to communicate directly with his or her audience and on balance I think that's a good thing. There will be more drivel available. But, there'll also be more gems that would otherwise be hidden from public view.Part IV Technical jargon (to be added)[文档可能无法思考全面，请浏览后下载，另外祝您生活愉快，工作顺利，万事如意!]。

I dream things that never were and say 'Why not?'" (Edward M. Kennedy 08/06/1968)3. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day, even the State of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. (Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.28/08/1963)4. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress. Particularly at this time, with problems we face at home and abroad. To continue to fight through the months ahead for my personal vindication would almost totally absorb the time and attention of both the President and the Congress in a period when our entire focus should be on the great issues of peace abroad and prosperity without inflation at home.

(Hillary Clinton 07/11/2000)。
