profiting from ideasa repeated criticism of the uks university sector is its noticeable weakness in translating new knowledge into new products and services.recently, the uk national stem cell network warned the uk could lose its place among the world leaders in stem cell research unless adequate funding and legislation could be assured, despite an annual 40m spent by the department of health on all kinds of research.however, we do have to challenge the unthinking complaint that the sector does not do enough in taking ideas to market. the most recent comparative data on the performance of universities and research institutions in australia, canada, usa and uk shows that, from a relatively weak starting position, the uk now leads on many indicators of commercialization activity.when viewed at the national level, the policy interventions (interference) of the past decade have helped transformed the performances of uk universities. evidence suggests the uks position is much stronger than in the recent past and is still showing improvement. but national data masks the very large variation in the performance of individual universities. the evidence shows that a large number of universities have fallen off the back of the pack, a few perform strongly and the rest chase the leaders.this type of uneven distribution is not strange to the uk and is mirrored across other economies. in the uk, research is concentrated: less than 25% of universities are receiving 75% of the research funding. these same universities are also the institutions producing the greatest share of phd graduates, science citations, patents and license income. the effect of policies generating long-term resource concentration has also created a distinctive set of universities which are research-led and commercially active. it seems clear that the concentration of research and commercialization work creates differences between universities.the core objective for universities which are research-led must be to maximize the impact of their research efforts. their purpose is not to generate funds to add to the bottom line of the university or to substitute other income streams. rather, these universities should be generating the widest range of social, economic and environmental benefits. in return for the scale of investment, they should share their expertise (expert knowledge or skill) in order to build greater confidence in the sector.part of the economic recovery of the uk will be driven by the next generation of research commercialization spilling out of our universities. on the evidence presented in my report, there are three dozen universities in the uk which are actively engaged in advanced research training and commercialization work.if there was a greater coordination（协调）of technology transfer offices within regions and a simultaneous (happening at the same time) investment in the scale and functions of our graduate schools, universities could, and should, play a key role in positioning the uk for the next growth cycle.43. what does the author think of uk universities in terms of commercialization?a. they have lost their leading position in many ways.b. they still have a place among the world leaders. c. they do not regard it as their responsibility.d. they fail to change knowledge into money.44. what does the author say about the national data on uk universities performance in commercialization?a. it masks the fatal weaknesses of government policy. b. it indicates their ineffective use of government resources.c. it does not rank uk universities in a scientific way. d. it does not reflect the differences among universities.45. we can infer from paragraph 5 that “policy interventions (in paragraph 4)” refers to _.a. concentration of resources in a limited number of universitiesb. compulsory cooperation between universities and industriesc. government aid to non-research-oriented universitiesd. fair distribution of funding for universities and research institutions46. what dose the author suggest research-led universities do?a. fully use their research to benefit all sectors of society.b. generously share their facilities with those short of funds.c. advertise their research to win international recognition.d. spread their influence among top research institutions.dthe events of saturday night in kunming are deeply engraved in the mind of xie qiming, who narrowly escaped death in the terrorist attack at the citys railway station. the 48-year-old policeman intervened to stop the butchering of unarmed civilians, saving many from death and injury, but he was injured in the process. lying in a hospital bed, his head and nose marked by serious hacking wounds - one more than 20 centimeters long - xie recounted（详细叙述） his actions on the day he describes as a nightmare. i shot at them but fell to the ground during the fighting. after the shots, the terrorists turned their attention to the police and several of them surrounded me and stabbed me like crazy, he said. there is no humanity in them. xie is from the beijinglu police station, the closest to the attack, and four police officers from the station were the first to respond. he survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, which was damaged by the attackers. when the officers arrived, the attackers were running out of the ticket hall, attacking people with long knives. xie and his colleagues tried to stop the attack, which is when xie was injured. in addition to the deep cuts, his skull was fractured, and at the time of writing he was awaiting further surgery. a wave of fierce anger rose up in my mind, and we all forgot to think about the possible danger to us, said hu zhe, 23, a police officer trainee at the beijinglu police station. having no firearm, he fought the terrorists with a wooden baton, but it got broken in the fighting. he sustained a 6-centimeter wound to his left eyebrow. wan weiqing, a neurosurgeon from beijing tiantan hospital, learned of the attack at 2 am on sunday and took the first flight to kunming, where he has been helping the victims. he said that 71 victims are being treated at the kunming first peoples hospital, most of them with severe multiple injuries. there is one victim whose rib, breastbone, lung and even heart were all injured in one chopping action. the attackers had obviously prepared and practiced for a long time, he said. zhou hongmei, director of the medical reform office at the yunnan health department, said a team of medical experts including 29 doctors had arrived in kunming by monday night. they have been working at the five hospitals treating victims of the attack. chen min, a neurology department nurse at kunming first peoples hospital, said the department usually had seven nurses in the daytime and three at night. but all the other nurses who were not on duty returned to the hospital voluntarily on saturday night, she said. in the past three days, none of them had more than 10 hours of rest. the crucial factor in saving lives in such incidents is treatment without delay, said chai wenzhao, associate director of the intensive care unit in the peking union medical college hospital.
