A guitarist was pleasantly surprised to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a taxi and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cellphone when he rushed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall, still talking on the phone to his manager.

Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cellphone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the taxi company, the number of the taxi, and the name of the driver. He said that she must have been joking.

“This year has been depressing,” said Lennon.  “I had to put off the recording of two new CDs. I’ve been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”

Lennon was reunited with his $100,000 guitar yesterday. The guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffeehouse only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it.

Leehom Wang（王力宏）is different from other pop singers. He has a lot of musical talent. He can play the violin, the drums and the piano.

However, this time it is his environmentally-friendly behavior that is making him stand out. When his latest album Change Me came out, Wang used recycled paper rather than plastie to package his album and went by bicycle to the press conference.  “Everyone can make the world a better place on a daily basis,” he said.

Wang gives 10 pieces of advice in his new album. For example, he suggests that the temperature of an air-conditioner（空调）should not be lower than 28 ℃.

Wang has Captured the hearts of millions of fans by singing, dancing, acting, composing songs, and working as a producer of many major records.  “I admire Wang for his sense of duty, responsibility and hard work,” said Li Xiaoshan, 17, who traveled from Nanjing to see Wang when he was in Beijing to promote （促销）his new CD.

Wang has established himself as a versatile （多才多艺的）musician in the pop scene and a good role model for Chinese youths around the world. He grew up in New York and first became fascinated at the sight of a violin at the age of six. His ambition has always been to be a musician. However, this was not what his parents’ wanted. They hoped he would be a doctor, which they saw as a steady and well-paid job.

A political scientist from Indiana University whose work exploring how people come together to protect their collective （共有的）resources may provide important clues in the fight against elimate change has become the first woman to win the Nobel prize for economics.

Elinor Ostrom, 76, shares the award with fellow American academic Oliver E. Williamson, 77. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced to the world the pair had been chosen to win the 40th prize in economic sciences.

For Ostrom, the award came, as she showed, as a “big surprise”. To rise to the summit of her area of learning has been an big journey, as she has had to struggle against her own weaknesses and the impediments （妨碍）of the system. At school in Los Angeles she suffered from stuttering（口吃）. She also faced the hurdles （障碍） common to most women of her generation entering the sciences--she was discouraged from taking a PhD when she applied for graduate school.

Her field of study has been striking for how cross-disciplinary （交叉训练的）it is. Early on she gained a reputation for bringing economics, political science and sociology together.

What interests her is how common property can be managed successfully through groups in society. One of the first subjects that interested her was management of water resources.

The findings of her research have been striking, because they have challenged the traditional idea that common property is poorly managed unless it is either regulated by government or privatized. She has shown how individuals can work together and form collectives that protect the resource at hand.

“A lot of people are waiting for more international co-operation to solve global warming,” said Ostrom, “It is important that there is international agreement, but we can take steps at family level community level, and national level … There are many steps that can be taken. That will not solve it on their own but continuously will make a big difference.”

1. Why was Ostrom not advised to take a PhD?

A. Because she was a stutter who didn’t speak fluently.

    B. Because she was a woman who was prejudiced then.

    C. Because she was as common as other women in science.

    D. Because she didn’t receive a degree of master yet.

2. Which of the following statements may Ostrom agree to?

    A. Only government can make full use of common property.

    B. Private enterprise can control individual behavior.

    C. Different people should work together to protect the resources.

    D. Individuals play a minor role in fighting climate change.

3. Ostrom was awarded the Nobel Prize for economics because _______.

    A. she brought economics and political science into sociology

    B. she predicted the breakout of the global financial crisis

    C. she worked on the relationship between individuals and government

    D. she put forward a new theory to help fight against climate change

4. The passage mainly tells us that ________.

    A. the Nobel Prize for economics was first won by a woman

    B. Elinor Ostrom’s work may help fight poverty

    C. the first woman won the Nobel Prize in America

D. the Nobel Prize for economics is shared this year

NEW YORK （Reuters Health）--Two years after New York City declared war on artificial trans fats（人造反式脂肪酸）, nearly all city restaurants had successfully cut the fats from their menus, health officials reported Monday.

In December 2006, the city’s Board of Health decided to launch a gradual trans-fat phase-out （逐步淘汰）from all licensed eating establishments--including restaurants, school cafeterias and street vending spots. Then many cities like Washington, San Francisco and Philadelphia, reflected it actively.

By November 2008, more than 98 percent of city restaurants had stopped using artificial trans fats for cooking, frying and baking, researchers with the city’s health department report in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Trans fats have become notorious because they not only raise so-called “bad” LDL cholesterol （胆固醇）, as the fats in animal products do, but also lower levels of so-called “good”HDL cholesterol.

While some meats and dairy products naturally contain trans fat, most trans fats in people’s diet are artificial; they are formed when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil to make it become solid. These so-called partially hydrogenated oils were main products in foods, like crackers, cookies and pastries, and widely used by restaurants in cooking, frying and baking.

When the restriction was first adopted, the researchers note, some critics claimed it was an Orwellian measure, while others worried that restaurants would have a tough time finding suitable trans-fat replacements.                                                     

However, the transition has been smooth, Angell’s team writes, declaring that trans-fat restriction “is now a largely unnoticed part of New York City life.”

Ridding the food supply of trans fats, the researchers write, could potentially improve the cholesterol levels of millions of people.

1. In which city the local health department first decide to stop artificial trans fats?

    A. Washington.    B. San Francisco.     C. Philadelphia.      D. New York.

2. We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

    A. in the city most people still use artificial trans fats

    B. only a few restaurants still use trans fats and the decision win most people’s support

    C. the city’s decision proves to be useless

    D. many people think using artificial trans fats is not so bad

3. The underlined word “notorious” in the fourth paragraph means ________.

    A. having a very bad reputation          B. having a very good reputation

    C. nutritious                         D. delicious

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

    A. New York restaurants are nearly all trans-fat-free （无……有）

    B. None of the restaurants in the U.S can use trans fats.

    C. Most of the restaurants still use trans fats once in a while.

D. Trans fats are bad for health.
