Gazing down on the city from the Getty Center, an art museum in the Santa Monica Mountains, one would find the view of the Pacific Ocean blurred by the haze(霾).

But many of them are going dark, 27 by more practical, but less romantic, LEDs (发光二极管).Changing building codes, evolving tastes, and the high cost of maintaining those wonderful old signs have businesses embracing LEDs, which are energy 28 , but still carry great cost."Tome, neon represents memories of the past," says photographer Sharon Blance, whose series Hong Kong Neon celebrates the city's famous signs.

The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as theresting or basal metabolic rate.Any time you are active, 51 energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves.Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and 52 of your activity.

The lower the intensity, the more your body will 53 on fat as its fuel.Aerobic e某ercise is most 54 for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you 55 contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms.

It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the automobile. We have already seen signs of the use of solar energy in this area. As long as man has a brain, the future of the automobile is __56__.(2)A college education is an investment in the future. But it can be a 47 one. The College Board 48 that the costs at a four-year public college in the United States increased 10% this past school year. That was less than the 13% increase the year before, but still much higher than the inflation 49 Public colleges and universities still cost a lot less than private ones.Financial aid often helps. But financial experts 50 parents to start college savings plans when their child is Still very young.All fifty states and the District of Columbia 51 what are called 5-29 plans. These plans are named after the part of the federal tax law that created them in 1996. States use private investment companies to operate the 52 of the programs.Every state has its own rules 53 5-29 plans. Some of the plans are 54 of state taxes. And all are not required to pay federal taxes. However, the government could start to tax withdrawals in 2011 if Congress does not change the law.5-29 plans include investment accounts that increase or decrease in value with the investments they contain. Families must decide how 55 they want to put money into stocks, or other investments.Another kind of 5-29 plan lets parents begin to pay for their child’s education in 56 and long before their child starts college. This kind of savings program is called a prepaid tuition plan. The money goes into an accountThere is progress toward a possible treatment for lung diseases such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Researchers have learned more about how the SARS virus works: it 47 with a system in the body that uses enzymes (酶) to control blood pressure and fluid balance. Scientists say the virus 48 to an enzyme known as ACE-two. The virus blocks the enzyme, permitting fluid to enter the lungs.A team from Europe and Asia reported the 49 in Nature Medicine. Doctor Josef Penninger of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in the Austrian Academy of Sciences was the 50 writer of the report. The discovery could lead to a new 51 of treating not just SARS but also other diseases that can cause lung failure. These include avian flu (禽流感) and influenza in humans.The first 52 of SARS were discovered in Guangdong province, in southern China, in November of 2002. SARS was not 53 as a worldwide threat until March of 2003. The disease spread to 26 countries, most of them in the Asia-Pacific area. An estimated 8, 000 people had SARS. More than 770 of them died, or about 10% , a 54 high rate.The World Health Organization warned people not to travel to 55 areas. The 56 hurt international travel and business. The WHO says the disease stopped spreading by July of 2003. As a result of SARS, the health agency got new powers to act before a government officially announces a crisis.(4)To call something “marginal” means it is not very good. Farmers have their own way to 47 marginal land: It is the last to be planted under good conditions, and has the 48 to be avoided under poor conditions. Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is 50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply.There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent51 for grazing (吃草) animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧) which is extremely important for marginal land.Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine (火炬松) are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar (白杨), found in many parts of the world.Failure to take the care needed to protect marginal lands can make a bad situation worse. But goodChina is casting such a huge shadow on the United States that many Americans are trying hard to learn the Chinese language with an effort to keep their competitive edge."Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown 47 in the past five years," said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society, a US group trying to bridge the 48 between Americans and the peoples of Asia and the Pacific.China's rapid progress is driving the interest to 49 the language, experts say. "The Chinese rich cultural traditions and 50 economy mean that it is now essential for all of our students to be better prepared to engage them and seize opportunities together," said Michael Levine, Asia Society' s executive director of education.A 2004 College Board survey found that 2,400 high schools--an 51 number--would be interested in52 the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2006.China, the world' s most populous ( 人口稠密的) nation, is 53 to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. It has 54 the United States as the world's largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, in the next two to three decades.Even though the US State Department has regarded the Chinese language extremely important to national prosperity , the" 55 conditions to support recruitment of students and teachers as well as the growth of high(6)Can money buy happiness? Yes, 47 the authors of a new study---but only to a point.Psychology has shown that richer people generally rank the overall quality of their lives more 48 than poorer people do. At the same time, their actual happiness seems to be 49 less by their ability to buy more than by being able to keep up with those with comparable resources in their own age group."Our findings point to the possibility that, rather than promoting overall happiness, continued income growth could 50 an ongoing consumption race where people have to consume more and more, just to maintain a 51 level of happiness," writes Glenn Firebaugh of Pennsylvania State University.The study was 52 at the American Sociological Association's 100th Annual Meeting. Whether the rich are happier as a whole than their less 53 fellows is becoming an increasingly hot topic for debate. Recent years have 54 many writings on the "science of happiness." Richer people are happier because money can help purchase goods and services and it is the 55 of these materials that increases one's enjoyment of life and one's sense of well-being. Firebaugh and his colleagues measured the age, total family income, and general happiness of 56 aged 20 to 64, generally considered the working lifespan (工作寿命) for most Americans.Regardless of such standards as physical health, education, and marital status (婚姻状况), people's happiness was affected by what others earned. The higher the income of others in one's age group, the lower one'sKitchen duties may have traditionally been viewed as women’s work, but not at the White House. Until now: Cristeta Comerford has been named executive chef (厨师) .After an_ 47 six-month search, first lady Laura Bush announced Sunday that Comerford was chosen from hundreds of 48 to head the executive kitchen. A naturalized U.S. citizen from the Philippines, she will be the first woman and first 49 to hold the post. The 42-year-old Comerford has been an assistant chef at the White House for 10 years. She worked under former executive chef Walter Scheib Ill, who 50 in February.Scheib said Sunday that Comerford was 51 the best assistant he had in his 30-year career and is a wonderful choice to take over. He said she is a great cook with an artistic eye and a calm manner that can 52 the pressure cooker (高压锅) in the White House kitchen.Comerford has a bachelor’s degree in Food Technology from the University of the Philippines.

For 50 , children who had televisions in their bedrooms--and 51 watched more TV--scored lower on standardized tests than those who did not have sets in their rooms. In contrast, the study found having a home computer with 52 to the Intemet resulted in comparatively higher test scores."Consistently, those with a bedroom television but no 53 home computer had, on average, the lowest scores and those with home computer but no bedroom television had the highest scores," wrote study author Dina Borzekowski of Johns Hopkins University. The American Academy of Pediatrics has 54 parents to limit children’s television viewing to no more than one to two hours per day--and to try to keep younger children away from TV altogether.In two other studies published in the same journal, children who 55 watched television before the age of 3 ended up with lower test scores later on, and children and adolescents who watched more television were less选词填空答案(1) 47-56 N E O A M L J I G B (2)47-56 G B E I C L N K A M (3)47-56 M C J G A E L I O D (4)47-56 F B J E A K N D L H (5)47-56 C K G A I N D F M O (6)47-56 C N E H A J B K F M (7)47-56 D K B I F H L A O E (8)47-56 J G M K D E B I C F。
