22、 students in cities across Britain walked out of classes on Wednesday and marched to resist the governments plans to cut education spending and steeply increase university tuition. It was the second such march this month.The demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but here in London at least eight peop

23、le, including two police officers, were injured in pockets of violence, and three protesters were arrested on suspicion of committing violent acts and stealing.

26、d there were reports of occupations at other universalities.

27、t cap of $5.624. Much of their anger is directed at the Labor Party, who promised to cancel tuition entirely during the general election campaign this past spring. Now in a coalition (联盟) government with the Conservative Party, the Labor Party is backing the new proposals, saying that British univer

28、sities need to be able to charge more to remain internationally competitive. Until the late 1990s, British university students did not pay tuition, and the issue is highly sensitive. The number of protesters in London was much smaller than it was two weeks ago, when 52,000 marched through the street

34、led with our work.Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals. So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security. Our jewelry sets off the alarms, and weve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings. Most of the time, its not a troubleso

35、me. However, on our recent trip to a Paris trade show, we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags. I didnt really think twice about it. But somehow, this experience seemed a little different. One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other. Both

36、gentlemen came back, and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object.My sister and I just said, “Huh?” Of course, we were a little concerned, thinking that maybe someone stuck something in one of our bags when we werent looking.One of the agents then started

37、 to unpack our bags. Though our jewelry is sturdy, he was a little rough with the stuff. I kept asking what he was looking for and then the object in question finally appeared. It was our Cosima necklace. Its a really bold piece of jewelry, with large, metal triangular spikes.My sister and I looked

38、at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief. We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection, not a weapon of mass destruction. They thought we were lying, and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon. I tried to explain

39、that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show, and this was simply a piece from our collection. But the agents didnt buy it. Then a few women guards came over to assist. One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring. Apparently, they liked our s

40、tuff.It was only at this point that the male guards gave up. And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry. They let us through.We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks.We didnt send anything to the ma

41、le agents, though, since I still think that a few of them believe that our necklace is a lot more deadly than it is stylish.”36.When the object in question finally appeared, the writer and her sister felt _.A.anxiousB.relievedC.excitedD.frightened37.The writer and her sister were stopped by the agen

Unfortunately, the global economic slowdown in developed nations has made it unlikely that sufficient money will be available to fully seize the new opportunitiesThe most encouraging breakthrough was proved last

46、 week that a pill containing two standard drugs used to treat AIDS could prevent the disease if given to gay men not infected with H.I.V. In a trial conducted in the United States and five other countries, healthy gay men who took the pill daily were 44 percent less likely to get infected than those

47、 given a placcbo (安慰剂).Meanwhile, the United Nations AIDS program announced that at least 56 countries have managed to stabilize or slow down the rate of H.I.V. infections. Fewer people are becoming infected with H.I.V. and fewer people are dying of AIDS than at the peak of the epidemic. The problem

48、 is that people are still becoming infected twice as fast as they can be put into treatment programs. Five years ago, fewer than 500,000 people were receiving AIDS drugs; now five million are. But another 10 million should be receiving treatment and arent getting it because donor nations and the suf

49、fering countries find it too expensive to pay the bill.
