If you’re among the millions of Americans packing their vacation bags for summer trips, don’t forget, however, that as soon as you step off the plane, you’re expected to follow that country’s laws. We took a look at one of the top countries Americans are most likely to visit and what might happen if you got caught.

Mexico

1,3,5
 
Smoking marijuana (大麻): If police find you smoking a cigarette which contains marijuana, they will most likely detain you overnight and you will get a fine.

Carrying a firearm (槍支): You might be able to walk around with a gun in Texas, but that isn’t so in Mexico, so leave your gun behind. If you wish to go hunting in Mexico, you can apply for a gun permit but expect to be charged $ 5,000. If you are caught bringing a firearm, Mexican policeman may take away your car and arrest you. An arrested American may spend months in prison while his or her case is being looked into.

Driving 70 mph on the highway: Speed limits are on the lower side. Depending on what type of highway you’re driving on, you shouldn’t go faster than 62 mph. The police enforce the speed limit, but most local police don’t have radars. The maximum fine for speeding is about $ 40. To scare tourists into paying the fine “on the spot”, sometimes police will threaten to keep your driver’s license. This is illegal, so call them on it.

1．When the travelers are in Mexico, they should NOT          .

      A．smoke the cigarettes without marijuana

       B．hunt the animals without the permit

       C．obey the laws in Mexico

       D．drive more than 50 mph on the highway

2．The word “detain” in the second paragraph means:          .

       A．a(chǎn)rrest                  B．deny                   C．punish                 D．destroy

3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       A．The laws in America are different from the ones in Mexico.

       B．People will be fined if they smoke marijuana.

       C．People will be arrested if they are caught bringing a gun.

       D．The police in Mexico have right to keep the drivers’ license.

4．If the travelers want to drive in Mexico, they should           .

      A．drive by themselves                             B．take radars with them

       C．limit their car speed                  D．travel on the high way

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the   21  person.

When I first knew Bill, back in   22  , he was one of the most carefree（無(wú)憂無(wú)慮）people I had ever   23  . He was always ready to have a party. He thought   24  of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 50 miles to see an old   25  he really liked.

    Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor（接任者）to Lawrence Summers .
    The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.
    “This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard,” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated  teacher, and a wonderful human being.”
    Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.
    Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues.
    Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.
    1,3,5
     
    Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania. 
    “Teaching staff turned to her constantly,” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. “She’s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she’s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she’s so solid.” 
    【小題1】Which might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Harvard named its 1st female president.
    B．History of Harvard University changed.
    C．Debates on female equality ended
    D．Drew Gilpin Faust, a famous woman historian.
    【小題2】Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?
    A．She is the 28th president of Harvard University.
    B．She is a famous scholar from the American South.
    C．She isn’t a graduate from Harvard University
    D．She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
    【小題3】Lawrence Summers held the view that      .
    A．women cannot achieve as much as men in management 
    B．women cannot hold important positions in society 
    C．women can match men in science jobs
    D．few women make top scientists owing to genes
    【小題4】The underlined word “groused” in the 6th paragraph means       .
    A．a(chǎn)pproved B．commented C．complained D．indicated
    【小題5】This passage probably appears in a      .
    A．biography B．personal letterC．research paper D．newspaper report

    As a physician who travels quite a lot, I
spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on
board?” announcement. I’ve been  36 only once-for a woman who
had merely fainted. But the   37 made me quite curious
about how  38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I
would do if  39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without
access  40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So
  41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week   42 a
study about in-flight medical events, I   43 it with
interest.
    


    The study estimated that there are a(n) 
44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most
of them are not   45 ; fainting and dizziness are the
most frequent complaints.  46 13% of them-roughly four a
day-are serious enough to   47 a pilot to change course. The
most common of the serious emergencies   48 heart trouble,
strokes, and  difficult breathing.
    


    Let’s face it: plane rides are   49 .
For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly   50 they
would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can
tolerate these pressures pretty   51 , but passengers
with heart disease   52 experience chest pains as a
result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 
53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class
syndrome（綜合癥）. 
54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight
emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation（立法）, flights with at   55 one
attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart
attacks.
