         While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because
    they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.
         For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball
    has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football
    organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will
    be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
         "We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more
    recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The
    technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany
    next year."
          The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a
    second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线), placed around the field. The receivers then send
    information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can
    immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses
    the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip
    in other ball sports.
         FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or
    not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.
    1. Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.
    A. football fans are angry with referees
    B. their new product can satisfy football fans
    C. their new product will have a good market
    D. they can sell a lot of football in the future
    2. In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that
    money cannot buy" means ___________.
    A. Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their product
    B. Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement
    C. Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product
    D. Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product
    3. The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.
    A. information given back by a user  
    B. advice given by someone
    C. supplying food to customers      
    D. food given back by consumers

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
