Brain death is sometimes used as a legal definition of death. The significant point is that the brain is no longer capable of sustaining the rest of the bodys systems without artificial life support.2. Le Parisien: 巴黎人。A French daily newspaper covering both international and national news, and local news of Paris and its suburbs. It is the best-selling national newspaper in France.Transcript Doctors in France have carried out the first partial face transplant. They took the nose, lips, and chin from a woman who was declared brain-dead and used them to repair the face of another woman. The thirty-eight-year-old French woman who received the tissue had been severely injured in the face by her dog. Last week the newspaper Le Parisien published a few comments that it said she made by telephone from her hospital bed. The woman, identified only as Isabelle D., said she was doing very well. She asked that the media leave her and her family in peace. There were still questions, however, about how the woman came to be injured by her dog earlier this year. Some news reports have said she tried to kill herself with sleeping pills. There have been suggestions that her Labrador retriever was just trying to wake her. Her doctors have said repeatedly that she did not try to kill herself. The dog was put to death. Medical progress has made it possible for several years now for doctors to transplant faces. But this is the first time they have performed the operation on a living patient. Doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States had been expected to perform the first operation. Many doctors, however, say they will not perform a face transplant. There are medical and moral issues. Medical experts note that a person does not need a face to survive. Many people wonder how patients would react when they see someone elses face on their body. A face is an important part of a persons identity.Item 21) Listen to the report and choose the best answer to the following question. Which of the following is the most serious example of plagiarism?

(a) a. Being expelled from school forever. b. Being given a failing grade on the paper or in the course. c. Being taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. d. Having the students degree withdrawn.Notes 1. T: An Internet-based plagiarism-detection service created by iParadigms, LLC. Institutions, typically universities and high schools, buy licenses to submit essays to the Turnitin website, which checks the documents for plagiarism.2. civil court: The court involved in the area of law relating to the affairs of private citizens rather than crime, in contrast to criminal court.Transcript Plagiarism is the act of representing another persons words or ideas as your own. The offense may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive as a whole paper copied or bought from somebody else. Intellectual dishonesty is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other peoples work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to identify plagiarism. Teachers can use online services that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work. The teacher gets a report on any passages that are similar enough to suspect plagiarism. These services are widely used. T, for example, says it is used in more than one hundred countries and examines more than 130,000 papers a day. Professional writers who plagiarize can be taken to civil court and ordered to pay damages. In schools, the punishment for cheating could be a failing grade on the paper or in the course. Some schools expel plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year. Some degrees have even been withdrawn after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.Item 31) Listen to the report and choose the best answer to the following question.

(c) a. Paying for a high-priced sex service as Client Nine. b. Operating Emperors Club VIP in many cities. c. Moving large amounts of money from two banks for sex services. d. Bringing a 22-year-old woman into a hotel in New York for immoral purposes.Transcript This week, Americas attention was directed away from a tight presidential race and troubled economy. The nation watched the fall from power of a politician widely considered a hero. The news of New York Governor Eliot Spitzers use of prostitutes shocked many because of his image as an aggressive crime fighter. He resigned Wednesday, two days after reports linked him to a high-priced sex service. Last week, the government charged four people with operating Emperors Club VIP. Court papers say it operated in Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Washington, as well as London and Paris. Federal law enforcement officials say the governor was known as Client Nine and was recorded on telephone wiretaps. They say he paid to have a twenty-two-year-old woman travel from New York to meet him at a Washington hotel last month. A century-old law, the Mann Act, makes it a federal crime to bring people across state lines for immoral purposes. But if Eliot Spitzer faces any charges, legal experts say they would more likely involve how the services were paid for, not the services themselves. Federal officials say they began investigating him after two banks last year reported suspicious activity in the way he was moving large amounts of money around. That investigation, they say, led them to the Emperors Club, where reports say he may have spent tens of thousands of dollars.Notes 1. Eliot Spitzer: The Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal began on March 10, 2008, when The New York Times reported that Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer had patronized a prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP. This ultimately led him to announce his resignation as governor on March 12, effective March 17.2. the Mann Act: 曼恩法案。A United States law which prohibits white slavery (拐卖妇女为娼) and the interstate transport of females for immoral purposes. Its primary stated intent was to address prostitution, immorality, and human trafficking. The most common use of the Mann Act was to prosecute men for having sex with underage women.
