[单项选择] Vending
Vending is such an up-to-date concept, in providing products where and when customers want them, that it is hard to believe that it made its first appearance in Egyptian Temples back in 215 B. C.
Vending has benefited from that long history and is now poised to meet the needs of the 21st century consumer.
Current day pressures mean that we are all time-starved and the ready availability of a drink and a snack at the right temperature just where we want. It is the convenient luxury that helps to keep stress at bay and provides a few more minutes at the desk or in the gym.
At work, those extra minutes spent making tea or coffee by hand really add up. Research conducted by the NOP ( National Opinion Poll) for the Association showed that the average time spent on this by employees over and above formal lunch and tea breaks is 45 minutes per day. That equates to a firm employing 50 people losing up to 37 man everyday, a real h

[单项选择] The Gene Industry
Major companies are already in pursuit of commercial applications of the new biology. They dream of placing enzymes in the automobile to monitor exhaust and send data on pollution to a microprocessor that will then adjust the engine. They speak of what the New York Times calls "metal—hungry microbes that might be used to mine valuable trace metals from ocean water". They have already demanded and won the right to patent new lifeforms.
Nervous critics, including many scientists, worry that there is corporate, national, international, and inter-scientific rivalry in the entire biotechnological field. They create images not of oil spills, but of "microbe spills" that could spread disease and destroy entire populations. The creation and accidental release of extremely poisonous microbes, however, is only one cause for alarm. Completely rational and respectable scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger the imagination
A. using metal-hungry microbes .
B. making use of enzymes.
C. adjusting the engine.
D. patenting new life forms.

[单项选择] Flu Shots Or Not
It sounded like a good idea when New York City’’s mayor, Rudollph Giuliani, advised New Yorkers recently to get a flu shot. After all, 20,000 Americans each year die of influenza. And this year in particular, the mayor suggested, getting a flu shot might be an especially good idea, since it could help doctors distinguish between flu and the deadly inhalational (吸入的) form of anthrax (炭疽). How Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms—fever, chills and muscle aches—in the early days of the infection. Physicians would be quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who was vaccinated (接种疫苗) against flu and still developed fever and chills. That would give them a better chance to identify any new victims of terror while their infection was still in its earliest, most treatable stages.
Or so the mayor’’s reasoning went. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with his logic. For one thing, getting vaccinated against inf

[单项选择] Old Mothers’ Children Have Higher Diabetes (糖尿病) Risk
Children of older mothers run a higher risk of developing insulin-dependent (胰岛素依赖型的) diabetes, the British Medical Journal said. "A strong association was found between increasing maternal (母亲的) age at delivery and risk of (insulin-dependent) diabetes in the child. Risk was highest in firstborn children and decreased progressively with higher birth order," Professor Edwin Gale and colleagues at Southmead Hospital in Bristol said. Diabetes is a serious, incurable, lifelong disease characterized (以......作为特性) by all inability to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin-dependent diabetes, which mainly affects children, is treated by administering the hormone insulin. Gale looked into 1,375 families in the Oxford area where one or more children had diabetes and found that the risk of a child developing insulin-dependent diabetes increased by 25 percent for each five-year band of the mothers age.

[单项选择] New Technique Promises Earlier Cancer Detection
A new technique could revolutionize the early detection of cancer, giving sufferers a greater chance of beating the disease, American scientists said. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a novel method of 【51】 changes in the nucleus of cells in the earliest stages of the disease." More than 85 percent of all cancers originate in the epithelium (上皮) that lines the internal surfaces of organs 【52】 the body. Although these are treatable 【53】 they are diagnosed in one of the preventable stages, early body damages are almost 【54】 to detect," said scientist Feld. " We present a new optical-probe (光学探子) technique based on light-scattering spectroscopy (分光镜检查) that is able 【55】 detect precancerous and early cancerous cells in cell-rich epithelia," he added in a statement.
The new technique relies on the fact 【56】 cell nuclei change in the early stages of cancer and the differences scatte

[单项选择]Hints for Reading Practice
1. Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. For example, one famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at 10 p. m. or 2. 30 a. m. made no difference.
2. Nearly all "Speed Reading" courses have a "pacing"——some timing device which lets the students
know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.
3. Obviously there is little point in increasing your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, re-read the section or chapter.
4. Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not
