health organization (who), which launched a global campaign on thursday to promote more research into child medicine.more than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters. the problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.in the case of hiv/aids, the few existing pediatric therapies（儿科的疗法）developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones. as a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose. fortunately, the who has drawn up the first international list of essential medicines for children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.“but a lot remains to be done. there are priority medicines that have not been adapted for childrens use or are not available when needed,” said dr hans, the u.n. agencys director of medicines policy and standards. medicines that need to be adapted to childrens needs include many antibiotics, pain drugs as well as combination pills for hiv/aids, tuberculosis and malaria. the agency is building an internet entrance linking to clinical trials carried out in children and will launch a web site with the information early next year.testing medicines on children has always been a controversial issue, since good ethical（伦理的）practice requires informed agreement from people participating in clinical trials, which is difficult to obtain in the case of children. as a result, research-based drug companies have been wary of developing child-friendly medicines and general companies have been slow to produce them at lower cost.in an attempt to deal with the issue, both europe and the united states now have special rules offering extended patent protection for drugs that have been tested on children.

winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words,but they actually come from james march,a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. for years march(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookthe ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” the problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says “the more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story,the less realistic it is.”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,march is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short,it is demanding:dont pick it up looking for quick,easy lessons. rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.1. according to the text,james march is.a. a poet who uses experience in his writingb. a teacher who teaches story writing in universityc. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actd. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions2. according to james march,experience.a. is overvalued b. is easy to explainc. should be actively soughtd. should be highly respected3. what can we learn from paragraph 3?a. experience makes stories more accurate.b. stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.c. the use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.d. stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.4. whats the purpose of this text?a. to introduce a book.b. to describe a researcher.c. to explain experiential learning.d. to discuss organizational decision making.【参考答案】37.1-4 caba较难题目特训：介绍说明类-38the multi-million pound new library of birmingham (lob) will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization (数字化) of everyday life. set to open in 2013, the 188m lob is already beginning to take shape next to the birmingham repertory theatre, with which it will share some equipment. as digital media (媒介) is important toits idea, the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies. brian gambles, the lob project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning:“the aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. it is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”the digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public. even before the lob is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the virtual (虚拟的) lob, designed by baden, the birmingham virtual worlds specialists. not only have the public been able to learn about the lob, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the lob to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens. two other small birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the lob projects. substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. it is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the lob which is in the early stages of development. and the peoples archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material. gambles says:“technology will enable us to make the librarys content and services open to citizens as never before.”1. the underlined part “its idea” in paragraph 3 refers to the idea of.a. the equipmentb. the projectc. the digital mediad. the physical library2. while visiting the virtual lob, the public can.a. get a general idea of the lobb. meet many world-famous

b, d, e4. the text is most probably taken from.a. a computer bookb. a library guidec. a project handbookd. a newspaper report【参考答案】38.1-4 baad阅读理解-bi really hadnt meant to yell at them. but that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.with a tiresome report to write, i felt bothered at my desk. suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. a voice inside me insisted that i do something quickly.“ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” i was shouting angrily. i made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.all of a sudden, i found the fault in myself. quickly i shaped my hands into pincers(钳子) and crawled towards them, “crabby（暴躁的） daddy is here. ha, ha, ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” my son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and crying at the same time. my mission to repair the damage caused by my yelling seemed to work well. still, i regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.need i let them know how badly they were acting by blaming? this is a lesson that serves myself. it only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility) by blaming others. its not my “best self”.we have to search for our “best self” when with our children. they dont need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. here, i am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “when a man lives with god, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book” then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? and before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?【文章大意】本文叙述了作者忙于烦人的工作时，发现孩子把房间弄的乱七八糟，于是大喊。孩子们因此不愿意理他了。当作者发现自己错了，他于是开始于孩子开玩笑，逗乐孩子。作者认为大人要始终对孩子保持最好的一面，不要对孩子着急发火。41. the author couldnt help yelling at his kids this time probably because_.a.
