Hollywood racked up another "record"
year at the box office. But the higher ticket sales mask fundamental issues in
the U. S. movie industry, where the so-called blockbuster strategy is causing
movies to open with big tallies that fall off faster than in previous years.
Movie ticket sales reached an estimated 8.35 billion in 2001, up 8.4% from 7.7
billion in 2000, the largest gain since 1998. Moreover, the number of tickets
sold — a more reliable indicator — rose to an estimated 1.49 billion, according
to box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations Co. The strong sales were aided
by the post-Christmas, pre-New Year weekend. Although many observers thought
people would stay away from the theaters after the 9•11, the numbers
have been up 5% industry-wide since then from year earlier levels.
Those positive trends, however A. the number of the audience is getting smaller year after year. B. the studios gain most of the ticket receipts while the theater operators gain less. C. after the second week, the audiences nearly have little interest in the so-called "big" movies. D. the box office figures usually fall off rapidly after the first weekend.

Up goes gold, down goes the dollar.
Most economists hate gold. Not, you understand, that they would turn up their
noses at a bar or two. But they find the reverence in which many hold the metal
almost irrational, That it was used as money for millennia is irrelevant: it
isn’t any more. Modern money takes the form of paper or, more often, electronic
data. To economists, gold is now just another commodity. So why
is its price soaring Over the pest week, this has topped $ 450 a troy ounce, up
by 9% since the beginning of the year and 77% since April 2001. Ah, comes the
reply, gold transactions are denominated in dollars, and the rise in the price
simply reflects the dollar’s fall in terms of other currencies, especially the

on his body, including a cross on the inside of his knee and lines on his ankle
and back. It is believed these tattoos were made in a curative effort.
Being so advance, the Egyptians reportedly spread the practice of
tattooing throughout the world. The pyramid-building third and fourth dynasties
of Egypt developed international nations with Crete, Greece, Persia and Arabia.
The art tattooing stretched out ail the way to Southeast Asia by 2,000 B.C..

Well, he made it up. All of it, apparently.
According to a report published on December 29th by Seoul National University in
South Korea, its erstwhile employee Hwang Woo-suk, who had tendered his
resignation six days earlier, deliberately falsified his data in the paper on
human embryonic stem cells that he and 24 colleagues published in Science in May
2005. In particular, Dr Hwang claimed he had created 11
colonies of human embryonic stem ceils genetically matched to specific patients.
He had already admitted that nine of these were bogus, but had said that this
was the result of an honest mistake, and that the other two were still the real
McCoy. A panel of experts appointed by the university to investigate the matter,
however, disagreed. They found that DNA fingerprint traces conducted on the
stem-cell lines reported in the A. a mistake of careless B. the result of an honest mistake C. a dishonest experiment D. a deliberated fabrication
