you fly. they record where you are going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. their ability to bear almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book（连环画册）. theyre known as the black box. when planes fall from the sky, as a yemeni airliner did on its way to comoros islands in the india ocean june 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. so when a french submarine detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. in 1958, australian scientist david warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. that was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all u.s. commercial flights by 1960. early models often failed to bear crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane the area least subject to impact from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). the same year, the federal aviation authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can resist massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. when submerged, theyre also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. experts believe the boxes from air france flight 447, which crashed near brazil on june 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. in the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never recovered.41. what does the author say about the black box? a. it ensures the normal functioning of an airplane. b. the idea for its design comes from a comic book. c. its ability to survive disasters is incredible. d. it is a must on an airplane.42. what information could be found from the black box on the yemeni airliner? a. data for analyzing the cause of the crash. b. the total number of passengers on board. c. the scene of the crash and extent of the damage. d. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.43. why was the black box redesigned in 1965? a. new materials became available by that time. b. too much space was needed for its installation. c. the early models often got damaged in the crash. d. the early models didnt provide the needed data.44. why did the federal aviation authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow? a. to distinguish them from the color of the plane. b. to caution people to handle them with care. c. to make them easily identifiable. d. to conform to international standards.45. what do we know about the black boxes from air france flight 447? a. there is still a good chance of their being recovered. b. there is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed. c. they have stopped sending homing signals. d. they were destroyed somewhere near brazil.bbelow is some advice on how to prevent cancer:8 ways to avoid cancer in your life1. eat blueberriesaside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon（结肠） cancer-fighting prosperities. but wait, it gets better. blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins c (14 milligrams per cup). so at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.2. drink pomegranate（石榴）juicethe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. most recently, researchers from the university of wisconsin at madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit the growth of lung cancer.3. relaxfeeling stressed or worried? find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. purdue university researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!4. take selenium（硒）selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. in a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the journal of the national cancer institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺） cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. however, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.5. eat sushi（寿司）seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins a and c. sushi rolls are also high in protein a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. so dont skimp（节省）on the sushi!6. enjoy the outdoorsvitamin d causes early death of cancer cells. a study published in the american journey of clinical nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international units of vitamin d every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer over a four-year period than did women taking a placebo(对照安慰剂). experts recommend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1,100 to 2,000iu of vitamin d each day.7. breathe clean airtheres no question that secondhand smoke kills. a recent american journal of public health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen（致癌物质） in their urine（尿） than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. whats worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked. nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. the message is clear: do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke. 8. break a sweateven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. in a study of 29,110 men published in the international journal of cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis(转移性) prostate cancer than men who didnt work out at all. the better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study. 46. to prevent yourself

exercise as often as possiblecthe centenary（百年）of the birth of william faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in september 1997. faulkner wrote about the southern states of the united states of america where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. his work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern american identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry(贵族).faulkner was born in new albany, mississippi on september 25, 1897. despite his interest in writing, he left oxford high school, mississippi, without graduating. after world war i, he entered the university of mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although faulkner had only finished training with the air force in canada, and not entered combat(战斗).faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel sartoris in 1928. his fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called yoknapatawpha county. the name is said to come from the indian chickasaw word meaning split land.in december 1950, faulkner was awarded the nobel prize for literature. when he accepted it in stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. as he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”. he wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of america to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. like playwright tennessee williams, faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of america. his achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent absentee but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in english class. his collected short stories, novels, poems, and other writings from a legacy of literature which casts profound illumination(启发) on the special culture of the south, a culture which developed from a history and social circumstances that were always unique. from the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but real society that reflected the greater world around him, faulkner in the end fashioned a legend of the deep south that is one of the major achievements of the 20th c
