One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign(競選)finance reform(改革). The people who are1for reform usually want the2to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates(候選人)and their3can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to4for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort5money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must6so many money raising events.
Another7is the fear that candidates will be owned or8by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the9.
On the10side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really11just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is12if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the13what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy14on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of15.
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of16or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control17discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make18.

The USA, New York—Whales and dolphins are facing increasing threats from climate change, according to a new report published by WWF and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society （WDCS）.
The report "Whales in hot water?" draws attention to the growing impacts of climate change on whales.They range from changes in sea temperature and the freshening of the seawater because of the melting of ice and increased rainfalls, to a sea level rise, loss of icy polar habitats and the decline of krill populations in key areas.Krill, a tiny shrimp that is dependent on sea ice, is the main source of food for many of the great whales.
The speeding up of climate change adds greatly to trouble from other human activities, such as chemical and noise pollution, which kills some 1000 whales every day.
"Whales and dolphins have an ability to adapt to their changing environment," said Mark Simmonds, International Director of Science at WDCS."But the climate is now changing at such a fast pace that it is unclear to what extent whales and dolphins will be able to adjust."
Climate change impacts are currently greatest in the Arctic and the Antarctic.According to the report, cetaceans that rely on polar, icy waters for their home and food resources are likely to be greatly affected by the reduction of sea ice cover.
WDCS and WWF are urging governments to cut global production of C02 by at least 50 percent by the middle of this century.The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showed it was possible to stop global warming if the world's emissions start to decline before 2015.

    Which of the following is the most important for whales and dolphins?

      Sea ice cover
    4. D.
      High sea level

Thanks to the Web, We’re Alone Together and Loving it
There's a professor, Barry Wellman, at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.
Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism." It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that's a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on flickering computer screens.
To the contrary, the Pew study discovered the Internet has put us in touch with more real people than we'd have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We're turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.
So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We're keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!

  1. 1.

    The Pew study was conducted in _____.

    1. A.
      The United States
    2. B.
      Canada
    3. C.
      The U.S. and Canada
    4. D.
      Europe
  2. 2.

    Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet and email?

    1. A.
      People are talking on the phone more than ever.
    2. B.
      Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction.
    3. C.
      Americans are turning into hermits.
    4. D.
      Sixty million Americans have bought computers.
  3. 3.

    Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of the Pew study?

    1. A.
      The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.
    2. B.
      People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and other questions.
    3. C.
      For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions.
    4. D.
      “Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.
  4. 4.

    What does the bolded words “reach out” in the last paragraph mean?

    1. A.
      Connect with.
    2. B.
      Play a trick.
    3. C.
      Make a decision.
    4. D.

Do you remember the game “Telephone”? A message gets passed from person to person, and everyone laughs at how distorted(曲解) it becomes. As a game, telephone can be fun. In real life, sending messages through third parties fouls things up. It is important for family members who have “business” with other family members to take it up directly.
When tension arises in a relationship between two people, a frequent way of dealing with this is to send messages through a third person. Family doctors refer to the process as ‘triangulation”. Following a quarrel, a mother may say to her son, “Tell your father to pass the salt”, which may be answered by, “Tell your mother to get her own salt.” In many long cases of triangulation, the middleman becomes severely disturbed.
Two years ago, Ruth and Ralph Gordon brought their 17-year-old daughter for treatment. Lucille was not doing well in school, using drugs heavily. When I began to work with her, she was uncommunicative and aggressive. After some time, however, she opened up and told me her parents rarely talked to each other, but both used her as a middleman. Mrs. Gordon was sexually unsatisfied and suggested to Lucille that she ask her father to go for marriage advice. Mr. Gordon told Lucille that he was seeing another woman, and he urged Lucille to speak to her mother about improving her behaviour. Caught in this confusing situation, Lucille became more and more troubled. It wasn’t until she refused to play middleman that she began to improve. When either parent began to send a message through her, she learned to say, “Tell him/her yourself!”
You’ll find that when family members learn to dial each other directly, there’s rarely a busy signal or wrong number. With direct dialing, a sense of freshness is created.

  1. 1.

    The underlined words “foul things up” in the 1st paragraph means ________.

    1. A.
      create things
    2. B.
      improve things
    3. C.
      remove things
    4. D.
      ruin things
  2. 2.

    “Triangulation” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _________.

    1. A.
      the process of sending messages through a 3rd person
    2. B.
      the middleman who becomes severely disturbed
    3. C.
      the tension in a relationship between 2 people
    4. D.
      the argument between a mother and a father
  3. 3.

    Through the example of Lucille and her parents, the writer hopes to tell the readers that _______.

    1. A.
      family members should learn to get their messages across directly
    2. B.
      parents should send their children taking drugs for treatment
    3. C.
      children can hardly get used to their parents’ troubles
    4. D.
      children should refuse the requests of their parents
