The Sunbed Association has condemned Hadley and insisted he does not represent the industry.The origin of the sunbed can be traced back to 1891 when John Harvey Kellogg created a “light bath” to cure gout(痛风). The case shines light on a trade which now boasts three million customers in the UK each year and is blamed for causing 100 deaths from melanoma(黑素瘤) each year.Sunbeds work by exposing the skin to ultra-violet(紫外线) radiation similar to that found in sunshine. However, while sunlight contains a mix of UVA and UVB radiation, sunbeds produce mainly UVA radiation, which goes deeper into the skin. A study by Cancer Research UK found half of all girls between the ages of 15 and 17 in Liverpool and Sunderland used sunbeds, with 40% of this group said to go on them at least once a week. The charity also links the popularity of the practice with the fact that skin cancer rates have become four times higher in the past 30 years.For many years, the regulation of salons was left in the hands of the industry but the Health and Safety Executive issued guidelines advising that nobody under 18 should be allowed to use a sunbed. Up to now, the Scottish Parliament has voted to ban under-18s from using tanning salons or buying or hiring sunbeds.26. Which of the following words can take the place of the underlined word “condemned” in Paragraph 1? A. shocked B. prized C. blamed D. appreciated27. Which of the following is TRUE of the Sunbed Association? A. It regards Hadleys case as an exception. B. It plans to close many tanning salons. C. It is being criticized by the public. D. It fined Hadley heavily.28. What was the original purpose of “light bath”? A. To offer healthy-looking skin. B. To treat people with melanomas C. To fight against a certain disease. D. To deal with the cases related with burns.29. According to Cancer Research UK, _.A.skin cancer is related to the use of sunbeds. B.UVB radiation does great harm to people. C. girls are more easily hurt by sunbeds. D. it is safe to use sunbeds once a week.30. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Scotland has banned tanning salons. B. The use of sunbeds is being regulated. C. Sunbeds will be disappearing very soon.D. The Sunbed Association has done much work. B.For nearly six months, I had been looking forward to the “excellent” experience of living in Islamabad, where the air is clean and life is smooth. But after a month in the capital, I dont feel that way any more.Islamabad is still a beautiful city, with its forests and green belts stretching dreamily against the backdrop(背景) of the Margalla hills. Its also the most orderly planned city in Pakistan, with plenty of road signs. Theres simply no chance that a stranger could lose their way here even if they tried. But here they end, at least for me. During my first month here, Ive discovered power cuts here are as unpredictable as in any other city, although therere fewer of them. Id been told that there were only about five or six blackouts of one hour each in a day, and that they occurred according to a pre-determined schedule. So I set about adjusting my work pattern to that of the power cuts. Part of my job is to file daily news prospects(即将发生的事) to various departments within the BBC first thing in the morning.After working in Islamabad last month, I discovered that the first power cut of the day occurred at 10:00. This was good enough for me. I would reach the BBC bureau between 8:00 and 8:30, read newspapers, check news websites, watch TV for latest developments and then file the news prospects by 9:30.Only three days later, just when I was about to key in the prospects, the power went off at 9:00. This went on for a few days. Then I decided to come in at 10:00. But this new experiment was similarly to fail. I arrived at the bureau at 10:00, only to find that the power authority had decided to turn to the old schedule and the power had just been turned off.So here I am, separated in Islamabad for over a month and beaten down by surprise power cuts. And time is ticking away31. Before the author went to Islamabad, he _.A. had realized the coming troubles in the city B. had known its frequent power cutsC.had expected an easy life there D.had thought it was a city with forests and green belts32. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _.

How did the author deal with the blackouts at the beginning？ A. He went to another city to find a job. B. He gave up all his work. C. He tried to give some advice. D. He changed his work schedule.34. The last paragraph of the passage implies that the author _. A. had an easy stay in Islamabad B. felt so helpless about power cuts C. was hopeful about his further stay D. was used to the power cuts there35. What does the author probably do? A. A broadcaster. B. An editor C. An actor D. An engineerCGrownups have a good sense of whats fair. Research now shows that this is true for young children, too. In a study published in Psychological Science, three-year-old children shared with a peer after they worked together to earn a reward, even in situations where it would be easy for one child to keep all of the prizes for himself. The new study was inspired by work with chimpanzees that found their cooperation regularly breaks down. “Chimpanzees often compete over food, which prevents them from working together on a task, even if thats the only chance for them to get reward,” says Felix Warneken of Harvard University, a coauthor of the study. “So we were wondering if the same is true also in young children.”For this study, the researchers wanted to take a close look at how young children share, particularly in a situation where they had to work together for a common goal. They had pairs of children complete a task in which they had to work together to get a prize. The prizegummy bears, stickers, or other items was piled on a board with wheels inside a transparent box. If only one child pulled on a rope, the board wouldnt move, but if they pulled together, they could bring it towards them and reach the food or toys through windows in the transparent box. Sometimes there was only one window to reach through; sometimes there were two. But even when there was only one window, which meant that one child could have taken all the prizes, the children almost always shared equally. Each pair of children was tested several times.“We were surprised that this rule was so strictthat equality was so strongly preferred,” Warneken says. “It was rarely the case that one took all the resources and the other kid had to say, Hey, thats not fair.”If we cooperate, were both better off. But in fact, even a species as similar to us as chimpanzees doesnt necessarily display that behavior. So, Warneken says, maybe whats missing from chimpsand what humans have is the ability to get along with others.36. The underlined part “the same” in Paragraph 2 can be understood as _.A. working together B. working separatelyC. lack of cooperation D. lack of competition37. To get the prize, the children had to _. A. pull the role together B. pile the prizes on a board together C. climb into the transparent box together D. take the box off the wheels together38.

A. often had quarrels B. were tested in pairs C. often competed over prizes D. didnt obey the rules40. Which of the following best summarize the scientists findings? A. Children seem to lack the ability to get along with others. B. Chimpanzees know how to work together to get rewards. C. Both humans and chimpanzees have a good sense of fairness. D. Young children choose to share prizes after working together DEuropean cinema companies are threatening to boycott(抵制) Disney films after finding out that the new 3-D Alice in Wonderland film directed by Tim Burton will have a DVD release within 90 days after release in cinemas.Exhibitors in the UK already threatened a boycott last week, but this week The Guardian newspaper is reporting that Hollands four largest exhibitors and some Italian ones are joining the action.In Holland, Miverva, Path,Wolff and Jogchems represent about 85% of all cinemas in that country.They are not happy with Disneys decision to do an early DVD release.
