         Dennis Hopper, who was described as "Easy Rider's" biker Billy and "Blue Velvet's", died of cancer
    Saturday morning at his home in Venice, California. He was 74.
         Hopper, who was diagnosed with cancer last October, was surrounded by his children and wife when
    he died. The American film star made his last public appearance on March 26, 2010, when his star was
    addressed on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
         Dennis Hopper was born in Dodge City, Kansas, on May 17, 1936. He grew up in San Diego,
    California, and got an early reputation for stage work. Making his way to Hollywood while still in his teens,
    he quickly earned roles in several films and TV shows, including "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955), in which
    he met James Dean, who became a friend and life-long model.
         Hopper maintained a somewhat not smooth career through the mid-60s. But it was 1967s. "The Trip",
    directed by "King of the B's" Roger Corman, that made the actor popular with audience and two of his
    "Easy Rider" colleagues, actor Peter Fonda and "The Trip" writer Jack Nicholson.
         In early 1968, Hopper led the group through his own low-budget film, a biker road movie about two
    riders who travel from Los Angeles to New Orleans. "Easy Rider" was finally released in the summer of
    1969, and was very popular after 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate", the breakthrough that
    set free the baby boomer generation on Hollywood.
         The film, made on the fly by Hopper and co-star Fonda for less than $ 500,000, became one of the
    most popular movies of its time.
         Among his recent roles were a villain (反面人物) in the TV series "24" and an officer in the short-lived
    TV show "E-Ring". He was starring in the TV version of the Oscar-winning film "Crash" at his death,
    playing a record producer. He was named a chevalier (功勋人物) of France's Order of Arts and Letters
    in 2008.

    The Age of Unreason
                                                                    Charles Handy
         In his book The Age of Unreason Professor Handy describes the dramatic changes that are taking
    place in our lives today and warns that we must adapt to these changes if we  want  to survive in the
    future.      
         Handy believes that in the future less than 50% of the workforce will   be employed full-time by an
    organization. These full-time employees will be the qualified     professionals, technicians, and managers
    who are essential to an organization. Their working lives will be a lot more demanding than today, but in
    return they will be well-paid and they will retire earlier. The rest of the workforce will Be self-employed
    or will work part-time, providing organizations    with    the products and services they require on a
    contract basis.  Handy  forecasts  a  big  increase in the number of working mothers in future and believes
    there will be a large number of unemployed.      
         Handy gives us plenty of figures to worry about. He estimates that by the year 2040, one person in
    five will retire, and one in ten will be over seventy-five years old. There will be one retiree to every three
    people of working age, and even more than that in countries such as Germany and Switzerland, where
    the proportion will be as much as one  to  two.  Retirees will remain healthy and active for longer than
    they do today and many will live to be a hundred years old, a fact which leads Handy to suggest that the
    term retirement will no longer be appropriate. He suggests the third age is a more appropriate
    description, since it will be as important a part of our lives as the first age of learning and the second age
    of working are for us today.
    1. Professor Handy wrote the book most probably to ____.    
    A. warn us of potential social problems in the future
    B. predict the leading professions in the coming years
    C. describe the effect of unemployment on society
    D. suggest a better term for future retirement
    2. According to Protcssor Handy, the future workforce will ____.
    A. adapt to the changes in retirement easily  
    B. be mainly self-employed
    C. have fewer full-time workers than today  
    D. work on a contract basis
    3.  From the last paragraph, we learn that about 30 years from now, _____.  
    A. the number of retirees will double in many countries
    B. ageing will be a common and serious problem
    C. 10% of the population will live to be 100 years old
    D. the third age will be the most important part of our lives

         Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of
    comets(彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult
    mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problem.
         However, Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought
    he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told
    Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse  (椭圆形).
         Then Halley set to work. He figured out (解决, 计算出) the orbjts of some of the comets that had been
    observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607,
    and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
         This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley
    thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He
    decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back
    again.
         It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction (预言) of what would happen
    in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before
    Halley's prediction could be tested.
         In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since
    then that comet had been called Halley's comet, in his honour.
    1. Edmund Halley figured out the orbit of _____.
    [     ]
    A. some different comets appearing several times
    B. the same comet appearing at different times
    C. three different comets appearing three times
    D. several comets appearing at the same time
    2. Halley made his discovery _____.
    [     ]
    A. by doing experiments
    B. by means of his own careful observation
    C. by using the work of other scientists
    D. by chance
    3. Halley made a surprising, but correct prediction in the year _____.
    [     ]
    A. 1704
    B. 1705
    C. 1706
    D. 1707
    4. This passage in general is about _____.
    [     ]
    A. Halley and other scientists
    B. the orbit of a comet
    C. Newton and Halley
    D. Halley and his discovery
    5. Which of the following is TRUE?
    [     ]
    A. Edmund Halley was an American scientist.
    B. Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
    C. Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
    D. The orbit of a comet had the shape of a triangle.

    gold alongside him in the 4?200-meter freestyle relay. It's hard to find comparisons even in the sports

    special he really is." U. S. teammate Natalie Coughlin said. The 23-year-old from Baltimore capped a

    won by a man, surpassing Soviet gymnast Nikolai Andrianov, who won 15 from 1972 -1980, Soviet
    female gymnast Larysa Latynina holds the record with l8.
         At the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps won six gold medals and two bronze. He has already said he'll
    swim in the 2012 London Games. Phelps' victories in Beijing include: 200-meter freestyle, 200 and 400
    individual medleys, 100 and 200 butterfly, 4?200 free relay, 4?100 medley relay, and 4?100 free relay.

         Ever since he first started practicing, Berkeley, California, psychologist Allen D. Kanner,
    PhD, has been asking his younger clients (顾客) what they wanted to do when they grew
    up. The answer usedtobe" nurse" , " astronaut" orsomeotheroccupation that appealed to
    them. Today the answer is more likely to be "make money". For Kanner, one explanation
    for that change can be found in advertising.
         "Advertising is a multi-million dollar project that's having an enormous influence on
    child development, " says Kanner, who is also a member at a clinical (临床的) psychology
    training program called the Wright Institute. "Advertising is growing rapidly and entering
    new areas of childhood, like our schools. "
         According to Kanner, the result is not only the spread of materialistic(物质第一的 )
    values among children, but also something he calls " self-love wounding" of children."
    Thanks to advertising, " he says, " children have become convinced that they're unfortunate
    if they don't have an endless supply of new products. "
         Now Kanner and several colleagues are up-in-arms with the psychologists and others
    who are using psychological knowledge to help marketers target children more effectively.
    They're shocked when they are told the secret behind why 3 to 7-year-olds are attracted
    to toys that transform themselves into something else and why 8 to 12-year-olds love to
    collect things. Last fall, Kanner and a group of 59 other psychologists and psychiatrists
    (精神病学家) sent a letter speaking against psychologists' employment by advertisers
    to American Psychologcal Association( APA) .
         In response, at its June meeting, APA's Board of Directors acted on a recommendation
    from the Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest and approved
    the creation of a task force to study the issue. The task force will examine the research
    on advertising's influence on children and their families. The group will look at the role
    psychologists play in what some consider the exploitation (利用) of children and consider
    how psychology can help reduce advertising's harmful effects and increase its positive
    effects. The group will also explore implications(含意)for public policy.

        Willa Cather once said, "When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy
    road,I always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing；the road is all. That is
    what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never used the computer with
    the thought that one more task had to be done."
        Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her,
    but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, simple and
    full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from child to young womanhood
    and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plain with its wild
    flowers, wheat fields and rivers.
        "It's a rather strange thing about the flat country," she wrote later. "It takes hold of you or
    it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull; they like a church tower,
    an old factory, a waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card...But
    when I come to the open plain, something happens. I'm home. I breathe differently."
    1. Willa Cather wrote because she found writing _____.
    [     ]
    A. simple and lively
    B. opened up a road to success
    C. neither too hard nor too easy
    D. interesting and enjoyable
    2. What was the place like where Cather grew up?
    [     ]
    A. It was cold,plain and without a church.
    B. It was vast,open and flat.
    C. It was like a German Christmas card.
    D. It was a colorful world of wild flowers.
    3. When she said "It takes hold of you or it leaves you perfectly cold.", Willa Cather
        meant that _____.
    [     ]
    A. you either love the place or hate it
    B. you decide either to stay or to leave
    C. some find the place warm; others find it cold
    D. some find the place peaceful; others find it wild
    4. What happens when Cather comes to the open plain?
    [     ]
    A. She breathes differently from others.
    B. She wants to make the place her home.
    C. She feels completely comfortable.
    D. She finds the place similar to her home.

          Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first
    person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize
    winner.
         Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine
    other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her
    mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of S?vign? in
    Paris.
         Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics.
    When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities (设备) to
    help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in
    military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military's
    Medal by the French government.  
         In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic
    Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in
     love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five
    years later.
         Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel
    Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia
    because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17,
    1956.(www.yygrammar.com)
