Most shoplifters (商店扒手)agree that the January sales offer wonderful opportunities for the hard-working thief. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known, in the business, as "hoisting".
But the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls(摄像头)that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.
As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and forced to attend a showing of their performance in court.
Selfridges was the first big London store to install videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using an evidence a videotape clearly showing a couple stealing dresses. It was an important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.
When the balls first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters. Their somewhat ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.
It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume(香水)into her bag.
"As she turned to go," Chadwick recalled, "she suddenly looked up at the 'balls' and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her."
"For a moment she paused, but then she returned to counter and started putting everything back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store."
1. January is a good month for shoplifters because ________.
A they don't need to wait for staff to serve them
B they don't need any previous experience as thieves
C there are so many people in the store
D January sales offer wonderful opportunities for them
2.The case last October was important because ________ .
A. the store got the dresses back

D. the kind of evidence supplied was accepted by court
3.The woman stealing perfume ________.

B. was afraid she would be arrested
C. decided she didn't want what she had picked up
D. wanted to prove she had not intended to steal anything

Miya volunteered abroad in Costa Rica with World Endeavors assisting at an orphanage(孤儿院)and teaching English at a school.
As a freshman at Yale University, Miya had plans to go to medical school.Knowing that her next two summers would be occupied doing research, Miya decided to go abroad the summer after her freshman year.“I wanted to improve my command of the Spanish language and learn about the culture and history of another country,” she explained.In the summer of 2014, Miya volunteered for six weeks in the World Endeavors program in Atenas, Costa Rica, working in an orphanage and teaching English to children in grades one through six.
“A long time before I left, I had positive expectations for the trip,” said Miya.But as the date grew closer she found herself getting more and more nervous.“I thought, what if my host family doesn’t like me? What if I get sick?”
Her fears, as fears often are, turned out to be unfounded.“The people were so supportive and loving,” said Miya.“I felt like I was part of the family.”
Miya’s host family had a large network of cousins who all lived within shouting distance. The family would cook together, and at night would go dancing, talk or eat ice cream.She noted that the World Endeavors staff on location—Diego and Mercedes, and Mercedes’ husband and daughter –were particularly helpful, taking her right to her neighborhood from the airport, and checking up periodically to make sure everything was going well.
While her nights were spent dancing, cooking, and talking with her host family, Miya’s days were occupied with the children of her host city.“I would teach in the morning, and work in the orphanage in the afternoon,” said Miya, whose placements were within walking distance from her host family.While the children were a lot of work, Miya felt a strong connection to the kids in the orphanage.
Miya noted that Costa Rica is one of the more developed countries in Central America. A nearby Internet café, for example, helped her to stay in touch with her family while she was away.And now, back in the United States, the Internet helps her keep in touch with her host family.Their correspondence continues in Spanish.And her host parents, Rosario and Jorge, recently sent Miya a Christmas card through the mail.
Back at school, Miya continues to pursue her instinct to improve education through volunteering. She participates in a mentoring group and works on a community health education program for high school students.Her time in Costa Rica, she says, “fits right into my interests in global health.”

The revision period is, arguably, the most difficult part of any exam process.The exam itself–usually between one and three hours. 1. However, the knowledge that it is the culmination of the entire process should provide some comfort.A well-structured revision plan can help you revise well.Below are my top tips for creating a well-structured and comprehensive revision plan, which will provide the best chance of success in the summer.
1. 2.
It ought to go without saying that planning your revision timetable must be done before anything else, to ensure there is enough time for comprehensive coverage of all subjects.With most exams starting at the end of June, the revision plan should be in place by the end of March at least.
2.Continual assessment
3. In order to chart (跟踪记录) your development effectively, we recommend that our students attempt practice papers in each subject, marked according to the relevant mark scheme and curriculum.

4. Ordering your subjects in an effective manner can help to do this.For example, scheduling English revision to appear early in your revision plan may provide useful when revising essay-based subjects such as History, Religious Studies and Politics later on.
4.Each subject is different
Depending on your learning style, you may find one easier than the other.More unusual exam types, such as performance exams, require their own unique attention. 5.

Our risk of cancer rises rapidly as we age.So it makes sense that the elderly should be routinely screened for new tumors (肿瘤) or doesn’t it?
While such tracking of cancer is a good thing in general, researchers are increasingly questioning whether all of this testing is necessary for the elderly.With the percentage of people over age 65 expected to nearly double by 2050, it s important to weigh the health benefits of screening against the risks and costs of routine testing.
In many cases, screening can lead to additional examinations and operations to remove cancer, which can cause side effects, while the cancers themselves may be slow-growing and may not cause serious health problems in patients’ remaining years.But the message that everyone must screen for cancer has become so ingrained (根深蒂固的) that when health care experts recommended that women under 50 and over 74 stop screening for breast cancer, it caused a noisy reaction among doctors, patients and social groups.
It’s hard to uproot deeply-held beliefs about cancer screening with scientific data.Certainly, there are people over age 75 who have had cancers detected by routine screening, and gained several extra years of life because of treatment.And clearly, people over age 75 who have other risk factors for cancer, such as a family history or previous personal experience with the disease, should continue to get screened regularly.But for the rest, the risk of cancer, while increased at the end of life, must be balanced with other factors like remaining life expectancy.
A recent study suggests that doctors start to make more objective decisions about who will truly benefit from screening—especially considering the explosion of the elderly.
It’s not an easy calculation to make, but one that makes sense for patients.Dr.Otis Brawley said, “Many doctors are ordering these tests purely to cover themselves from medical disputes.We need to think about the wise use of health care, which means making some difficult decisions with elderly patients, and going against the misguided belief that when it comes to health care, more is always better.”
1.Routine cancer screening for the elderly people makes sense because ______.
A.it is believed to contribute to a long life
B.it is part of their health care package
C.they are more sensitive about the health
D.they are in greater danger of tumor growth
2.How do some researchers now look at routine cancer screening for the elderly?
A.It adds too much to their medical bills.
B.They are doubtful about necessity.
C.It helps increase their life expectancy.
D.They think it does more harm than good.
3.What is the traditional view about women screening for breast cancer?
A.It is a must for adult women.
B.It applies to women over 50.
C.It is intended for young women.
D.It doesn’t apply to women over 74.
4.What does the writer say is the general view about health care?
A.Better care, longer life
B.Prevention is better than cure.
C.Better early than late.
D.The more, the better.
5.Why do many doctors advise routine screening for cancer?
A.They want to take advantage of the medical care system.
B.They want to protect themselves against medical disputes.
C.They want data for medical research.
D.They want their patients to suffer less.

Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different.So you have to learn what suits you.You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face.Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera.No one can look bad if they smile.
For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.
For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle.And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.
Keep shoulders back.
Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.
