Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them，often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

    Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times，there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries，however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

    Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which examines new planes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work , and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

D. industries were as careful in management as they are today.

Britons stranded（搁浅）at sea or in flooded homes could find a real-life prince riding to their rescue. Prince William announced on Monday that he is to train to be a full-time pilot with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force (SARF).

William, who is currently a Lieutenant（中尉）in the Army's Household Cavalry Regiment（皇家骑兵团）, will transfer to the RAF and begin an 18-month training course in January 2009.

If successful, he will become a fully operational Search and Rescue pilot in 2010, flying Sea King helicopters at one of the six SARF units based in Britain.

"The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying," the prince, who spent two weeks with a SARF team while on work experience in 2005, said in a statement.

"Joining Search and Rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the Forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country's Emergency Services."

It means he will follow a similar career to that of his uncle, Prince Andrew, who was a Sea King helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands war.

The Search and Rescue teams' main duty is to recover RAF personnel but in peacetime they mainly respond to civilian emergencies, dealing with more than 1,000 calls a year.

The units deal with incidents ranging from helping those trapped by sudden major floods to rescuing people lost while out walking on hills.

William, who has spent the last year on secondment（借调）to the various branches of the military to prepare for his future role as head of the armed forces, received his RAF wings （飞行勋章）following a four-month stint（持续的工作）with the service earlier this year.

However, his time with the RAF was clouded when the Defense Ministry was forced to fend off criticism for allowing the prince to fly military helicopters to a bachelor party for his cousin and to the family home of his girlfriend Kate Middleton.

61. Prince William wanted to be a full-time pilot because _____.

  A. he liked flying

  B. he would like to do something in the country’s Emergency Services

  C. many Britons were in danger at sea waiting for rescue

  D. he had much experience in flying

62. According to the passage, _____.

  A. the Falklands war broke out in 2005

  B. Prince William served in the Army’s Household Cavalry Regiment in 1982

  C. Prince Andrew is serving in SARF now w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

  D. William would finish his training course in June 2010

63. It can be inferred from the passage that______.

  A. the RAF is an army that rescues its soldiers during wartime

  B. either Andrew or William is interested in flying

  C. there are many floods happening in Britain

  D. the prince saving the people in danger is no longer fairy tale

64. The author’s opinion on William’s joining RAF is ______.

  A. enthusiastic     B. doubtful     C. negative    D. pessimistic

65. What is the purpose of the author by mentioning what the prince had done before in the last paragraph?

  A. The author wants to say that Prince William pays much attention to his family and friends

  B. The author suggests that the Defense Ministry was criticized when William flew for his private business

  C. William had a hard time when he went against his leaders

  D. The author has the worry that Prince William is likely to get the Defense Ministry into trouble again.

Charles Willson Peale’s George Washington at Princeton is on show at the Museum which was lent from a private collection . This visually （视觉上） striking and finely made life-size portrait  records Washington’s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength , calmness , and elegance .It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor , a period room from one of Philadelphia’s greatest eighteenth-century private homes , where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends , Samuel and Elizabeth Powel . Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphia’s finest craftsmen（工匠） , such as Thomas Afflect and John Aitken . Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washington when living in Philadelphia .

Painted in Philadelphia in 1779, Peale’s painting was immediately sent to Europe to raise Washington’s reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution , then in progress . Later ,during Europe’s Napoleonic Wars , a Spanish  with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture . At that time he added the complicated carved explanation to it , which describes Washington as “a liberator of his country who gave up absolute power.”
