1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.

    Imagine being at a movie theater. You are watching a movie you* ve been waiting months to see. All of a sudden,a man's cell phone rings. Not only does the man answer it,he keeps talking on the phone for a long time. Situations like this lead many people to support cell blocking vlocking equipment(屏蔽设备) .While this is quite understandable,it's much fairer and safer to ailow people to use their cell phones in movie theaters.

    Using cell phones in movie theaters is a matter of culture. If you look around a theater,most people there are not using phones and are enjoying the film they paid to see. The few bad apples are those that are rude in almost all situations. The ones that shout at waiters and cut in line. Putting in the blocking equipment would punish everyone,not just the impolite,but the well-mannered people as well.

     Many theaters already have punishments in place for people who use their cell phones in a troublesome way while in movies. At theaters I have been to,they periodically have workers come in and see if there are rude phone users. If they notice anyone breaking theater rules,they have the power to remove people from the area. That's enough to prevent most movie goers from using cell phones in an unacceptable way.

     Another argument against putting in cell phone blocking equipment is emergency situations. There are times when people might be getting a message that requires them to leave the theater. Some of these might be car accidents,births,deaths,or someone getting locked out etc. All of these are situations that would just require someone to immediately leave the theater.

     Putting in cell phone blocking equipment would be unfair to those who know how to use their phones politely. The answer to this problem is to make sure rules are followed,not to prevent everyone in the theater from using their cell phones.

10. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

      Bart Weetjens has always loved rats. As a kid in the Netherlands,he raised them as pets. He was amazed by their intelligence and their great sense of smell. Today,Weetjens is using rats for a good cause identifying (确认) a disease called tuberculosis (肺结核) , or T B. in Africa. Through his organization,called APOPO,Weetjens trains rats to find TB by using their noses. The rats that APOPO trains are called “HeroRats."

    Tuberculosis affects millions of people every year. Usually,if a patient is thought to have the disease,doctors run lab tests to identify it. A doctor takes a sample of mucus (枯液样本) from the patient's lungs. Then lab workers examine the sample to see whether the person has the disease.

   But Tanzania and Mozambique,two African countries with high rates of T   B. are short of medical workers and labs. As a result,it can take a long time to diagnose (诊断) the disease. In the meantime,more people can get sick as the disease spreads.

     In 2002,APOPO began training rats to smell TB in mucus samples. It trains African giant rats,which are friendly and hardworking. To detect T B. the rats smell mucus samples through holes in a glass cage. When a trained rat finds a sample with T B. it pauses over the hole.

     HeroRats train for months before they start working. To teach a rat to identify T B. a trainer presents the rat with several mucus samples. The trainer already knows which are samples with TB.

     If the rat spends a long time smelling a diseased sample,the trainer gives the .rat a treat. This teaches the rat that finding TB will earn it tasty food.

      “The rats learn quickly,since they love food/' says Beyene,an APOPO scientist. The rats are faster than lab workers. In 10 minutes,they can screen as many samples as a person could examine in two days. At centers in Tanzania and Mozambique,HeroRats have found thousands of TB cases that labs missed. Thanks to them,sick people can now be treated earlier than ever before. In the future,APOPO hopes to train its rats to identify other diseases too.
