The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps. These days it's the city that never
smokes, drinks or does anything naughty (at least, not in public); The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
lf you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park, could you have one? No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs(碎屑) of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal. If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette, that would be OK, wouldn't it? Er ... no. You can't smoke in public in New York City.
What's going on? Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like
this? The mayor of New York is behind it all. He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want, when they want.
The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument
They recently spent $100,0000n a "Don't blame the cop" campaign. One New York police officer said, "We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It's all about money."
The result is a lot of fines for minor offences. Yoav Kashida, an lsraeli tourist, fell
asleep on the subway. When he woke up, two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats (you mustnIt use two seats in the subway). Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.
The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine, Graydon Carter, says, "Under New
York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work, but not an empty
ashtray." He should know The poIice came to his office and took away his ashtray c烟灰缸)
But not all of New York's inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry,72, said,
"The city has changed for the better If more cities had these laws, America would be a better place to live " Nixon Patotkis,38, a barman, said, "I like the new laws If people smoked in here, we'd go home smelling of cigarettes "
Recent fIgures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people
than1930ther US cities And it's true-it's safer, cleaner and more healthy than before. But!et's be honest-who goes to New York for its clean streets?

Hurricane
1、 A hurricane（飓风） is a tropical storm with winds that have reached a
constant speed of 74 miles per hour Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral(螺旋)
around a relative calm center known as the "eye". The "eye" is generally 20 t030 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane nears land, it can bring heavy rains, high winds, and storm surges(风暴潮). The storm surges and heavy rains can lead to flooding
2、Hurricanes are given a different label, depending on where they occur. If they
begin over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Northeast PacifIe Ocean, they are called hurricanes. Similar storms that occur in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line are called typhoons. Near Australia and in the Indian Ocean, they are referred to as tropical cyclones(龙卷风).
3、When a hurricane hits land, it can do great damage through its fierce winds,
heavy rains, inland (内陆的) flooding, and huge waves crashing on to the shore. During a hurricane, homes, businesses, and public buildings may be damaged or destroyed, roads and bridges can be washed away A powerful hurricane can kill more people and destroy more property than any other natural disaster. Fishermen are at special risk from hurricanes as they may be at sea when a hurricane arrives and not be able to get to a safe harbour if they do not receive adequate warning.
4、If a hurricane is coming in your area, the most important thing is to stay calm
and find shelter immediately Go to your safe room. If you do not have one, stay indoors during the hurricane and go to a safer place near the center of your home Cover yourself with a blanket and be sure to keep away from windows and glass doors, because if the glass breaks it's really dangerous Do not be fooled if there is a lull（暂停）

I Know Just How You Fee
Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these
emotions is unique. Well. think again Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classifIed. according to Mind Reading. a DVD displaying every possible human emotion it demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.
Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s. when Darwin divided
(46} Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group
More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more
specific to each culture. But now it is beIieved that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide
The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with
autism(孤独症). who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses Actors and teachers, for example. need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had
to define an "emotion'(48) Using this definition.1.512 emotion terms were
identified and discussed This list was eventually reduced to 412. from 'afraid' to "wanting".
Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest
and most efficient way to display them in Mind Reading. Each expression is acted out by six
may find it difficult to describe emotions using words. but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone's face 'It was really clear when the actors had got it right:
says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. 'Although they were given some direction.'
says Ms Collis. "the actors were not told Which facial muscles they should move
(50)" For example. when someone feels contempt. you can't say for certain that
their eyebrows always go down .
Someone who has tried to establish such ruies is the American, Professor Paul
Ekman. who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called 'action units". These can be combined into more than 10.000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.
A. We thought of trying to describe each emotion. but it would have been almost
impossible to make clear rules for this
B. Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read
emotional expressions
C. These particular muscles are difficult to control. and few people can do it
D. Any o[her method of snowing all the 412 emotions. such as words. would
have been far less effective
E. He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognisable
by anyone, from any culture
F. They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by “I feel” or
“he looks” or “she sounds”

Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today In many places it is actually
considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young peopIe. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health
professionals worried Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones In England, there has been
a serious debate about this issue Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells
of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning（扫描）equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn’t agree
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation
High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's, best to use
mobile phones less often Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A. they're popular B. they're cheap C. they're useful D. they're convenient.
42. The word "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A. cured B. removed C. discovered D. caused
43. The salesman retired young because
A. he disliked using mobile phones B. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone
C. he couldn't remember simple tasks. D. his employer's doctor persuaded him to
44. On the safety issue of mobile phones. the manufacturing companies
A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation.
B. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation
C. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health
D. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about

coast and took a ferry to France.2 He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country However. after a time, his rescuers became involved that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan
MacLaughlin. a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about "Lucky"'!

I Know Just How You Fee
Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these
emotions is unique. Well. think again Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classifIed. according to Mind Reading. a DVD displaying every possible human emotion it demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.
Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s. when Darwin divided
(46} Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group
More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more
specific to each culture. But now it is beIieved that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide
The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with
autism(孤独症). who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses Actors and teachers, for example. need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had
to define an "emotion'(48) Using this definition.1.512 emotion terms were
identified and discussed This list was eventually reduced to 412. from 'afraid' to "wanting".
Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest
and most efficient way to display them in Mind Reading. Each expression is acted out by six
may find it difficult to describe emotions using words. but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone's face 'It was really clear when the actors had got it right:
says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. 'Although they were given some direction.'
says Ms Collis. "the actors were not told Which facial muscles they should move
(50)" For example. when someone feels contempt. you can't say for certain that
their eyebrows always go down .
Someone who has tried to establish such ruies is the American, Professor Paul
Ekman. who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called 'action units". These can be combined into more than 10.000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.
A. We thought of trying to describe each emotion. but it would have been almost
impossible to make clear rules for this
B. Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read
emotional expressions
C. These particular muscles are difficult to control. and few people can do it
D. Any o[her method of snowing all the 412 emotions. such as words. would
have been far less effective
E. He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognisable
by anyone, from any culture
F. They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by “I feel” or
“he looks” or “she sounds”

Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today In many places it is actually
considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young peopIe. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health
professionals worried Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones In England, there has been
a serious debate about this issue Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells
of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning（扫描）equipment.

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation
High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's, best to use
mobile phones less often Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
