It does seem reasonable to keep wrongdoers in a place where they find fewer opportun

42、ities to hurt people, and where they might discover that crime doesn't pay. The system has long been considered fair and sound by those who want to see criminals punished and society protected. Yet the value of this form of justice is now being questioned by the very men who have to apply it: th

43、e judges. The reason, they say, is that prison doesn't do anyone any good. Does it really help society, or the victim, or the victim's family, to put in prison a man who, while drunk at the wheel of his car, has injured or killed another person? It would be more helpful to make the man pay f

44、or his victim's medical bills and compensate（赔偿）him for the bad experience, the loss of working time, and any other problems arising from the accident.

45、ound 2,700 B. C., a thief had to give back five times the value of the goods he had stolen; in Rome centuries later, thieves only paid double. "Good system!" say the modern judges, who know what bad effects a prison term can have on a nonviolent first offender. A young thief who spends tim

46、e in prison receives there a thorough education in crime from hi fellow prisoners. Willingly or not, he has to join tough criminals who will drag him into more serious offences, more prison termsa life of repeated wrongdoings that will leave a trail of victims and cost the community a great deal of

48、criminals in prison. C. To prove compensation is the right way to deal with criminals. D. To make us believe it is very expensive to put a man on trial and keep him in prison.48. According to the writer, what punishment should a driver who's injured another person while drunk at the wheel of his

49、 car receive? A. The driver should lose his working time and stay in prison. B. The driver should pay money to the victim for any loss caused by the accident. C. The driver should pay for his victim's medical bills. D. The driver should receive a thorough education in crime from his fellow priso

AI a very old one which existed in ancient countries B. a new one which has just won the praise from the modern judges C. very helpful for stopping crimes D. known only to thieves in ancient Babylon and Rome50.

53、ife park at Yala. But very few of the parks animalselephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats-appear to have died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and flee to safety.First, it's possible that the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater

54、 rupture likely produced sound waves known as infrasound or infrasonic sound. Humans can't hear infrasound, but many animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can.A second early warning sign the animals might have sensed is ground vibration(震动). The massive quake would have produced

55、vibrational waves known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves move on the surface of the ocean but faster. They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have reached SriLanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh waves. So the animals at Yale
