different in so many ways from what he or she is used to seeing at home There are quite a few things that are not done or that do not exist on the island quite a few No s There is no pollution for instance No dogs are permitted in Reykjavik the capital There is no television on Thursdays or during the entire month of July and only three hours of black and white TV the rest of the time There is no hard liquor on Wednesdays and no beer at any time There are no handguns only one jail of thirty five cells 牢房 in the entire land an admirable figure even for a small country of 313 376 people There is no army air force or navy There is no tipping for anything There are no large stores open on Saturdays or Sundays Since Iceland is situated just under the Arctic Circle there is no darkness in summer and do daylight in winter But thanks to Gulf Stream the climate is rather mild with temperatures ranging from 34 degrees Fahrenheit to 52 degrees in July The rules on television liquor and guns are the result of governmental decision 5 But the absence of pollution is due in great part to the fact that Iceland gets its power from the enormous geyser 间歇泉 and the thousands of hot springs that come out of the ground They provide all the energy needed by the country In fact Iceland uses only 3 percent of all its available power Iceland has been described as a democratic 民主的 independent country where more fish are caught and more books published per person than anywhere else in the world The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature They composed their first works in the ninth and tenth centuries AD These works were poems and tales about the kings heroes and heroines of Iceland and Norway At first the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since Rather shoeless than bookless they proudly say 56 American visitors enjoy visiting Iceland probably because A no dogs are permitted in

future The latest report from the US based institute of International Education said China for the first time has become the top country of origin for international students in the United States For Yang Fan a journalism student said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China s top universities Due to limited education resources only about 60 percent of

are supportive of them studying abroad Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation It is not realistic to do so As a journalism student there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States Yang said But in China with a US degree and good English I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high level talents said Xiao Mingzheng director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University adding that in

device 装置 called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away The sound is at extreme high pitch that can be heard by those under 20 The body s natural ability to detect some wave bands decreases almost entirely after 20 so few adults can hear the sounds The black box device nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound can be fixed to the outside walls of shops offices and homes It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin But it causes no physical damage A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install 安装 it at trouble spots Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies who has given the device to 7 shopkeepers in the Moorlands area said It is controlled by the shopkeepers if they can see through their window that there is a problem they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away

published the findings The eight year research studied more than 180 000 people They included present and former smokers and people who never smoked Almost 2 000 people in the study developed lung cancer Researchers say genetics 遗传学 might help explain the racial and ethnic 种族的 differences There could be differences in how people s bodies react to smoke But environmental influences including the way people smoke could also make a difference African Americans and Latinos in the study are reported smoking the fewest cigarettes per day Whites are the heaviest smokers But the scientists point out that blacks have been reported to breathe cigarette smoke more deeply than white smokers This could fill their lungs with more of the chemicals in tobacco that cause cancer Scientists know that some diseases effect different groups differently And some drug companies have begun to develop racially targeted 针对 medicines Last June the United States Food and Drug Administration approved a drug designed to treat heart failure in black patients The name is BiDil The agency called it a step toward the promise of personalized medicine 67 Researchers agree that it is that may probably determine
