Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories or share experiences on how to cope with such a disastrous disease.
But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference:it has an information safety net.
This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue “cancer cures’’ or scientifically unreasonable information.
Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.
And Rebekah Gibbs,a cancer patient and star e f TV’S Casualty has voiced her support for the new project.“I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea,’’she said.“I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.
“The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family.And with Cancer Research UK.monitoring the forum people can be guaranteed the quality of information being exchanged.”
Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000 pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and give details of clinical trials.There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.
The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.
For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charity's team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients’ concerns on the phone.
Cancer Chat is quite different from other forums in that .
A.it has the support of a famous TV actress
B.it is a source of reliable information
C.it provides a huge amount of cancer information
D.it attracts a great number of visitors from all over the world each month

The sun shone in through the dining room window,lighting up the hardwood floor. We had been talking there for nearly two hours.The phone of the“Nightline”rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper.Connie,to get it .She had been taking down the callers’names in Morrie’s small black appointment book .It was clear 1 was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the“Nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figure—but I was impressed with.perhaps even a bit envious of,all the friends that Morrie seemed to have
“You know.Mitch,now that I'm dying,I've become much more interesting to people.I’m on the last great journey here——and people want me to tell them what to pack.”
The phone rang again.
“Morrie,can you talk?”Connie asked .
“I’m visiting with my old friend now,”he announced.“Let them call back.”

What happened to me?
The eighties happened .The nineties happened.Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened.I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck,and I never even realized I was doing it .Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years,as if I'd simply been on a long vacation
“Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked .
“Are you at peace with yourself?”
“Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”
I felt ashamed,wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions.What
happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money,that I would join the
Peace Corps,and that 1 would w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mlive in beautiful,inspirational places.
Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years,at the same workplace,using the same bank,visiting the same barber .I was thirty-seven,more mature than in college,tied to computers and modems and cell phones.I was no longer young,nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with unlit cigarettes in my mouth.I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life.
My days were full,yet I remained,much of the time,unsatisfied .

On the outside Betsy Lueth’s school looks like any other in Minneapolis. Yet inside, it is
Yinghua Academy, a public school where elementary(小學(xué))students study subjects ranging from
math to American history in Chinese.
Yinghua, the first such immersion(沉浸式)program in the Midwest is on the leading edge (前沿) of a movement that in recent years has seen Chinese language programs spread rapidly throughout the U.S.
The idea behind Yinghua is to introduce kids to the language and culture as early as possible —ideally, before age 12. Kindergarteners and first graders are taught in Chinese and a single period of English is introduced in second grade. By sixth grade, kids are learning half in English and half in Chinese, with the expectation of fluency in both. In Yinghua’s classrooms, the walls are covered not with ABCs but with pictures and Chinese characters.
There are many challenges at Yinghua. Most teachers come from Taiwan or mainland China, and cultural misunderstandings are very common. Lueth’s teachers are learning to be tolerant of local customs — as well as a lot more parental input (家長(zhǎng)看法) than they are used to. “In China, teachers are respected. They are not questioned,” says Luyi Lien, Yinghua’s Taiwan-born director. “In America, parents are more expressive of their opinions.”
Research has shown that in the long run, immersion programs can provide benefits, including more flexible, creative thinking. Though students from the programs fall behind for a few years in English, by fifth grade they perform as well as or better than their monolingual(單語(yǔ)言)peers on standardized reading and math tests. For multicultural families, the psychological (心理上的) help can also be important. Lueth, a former teacher, co-founded the school as a way to expose her adopted Chinese daughter Lucy to her native culture. Lucy used to be annoyed when cousins asked why her skin color was different from theirs; before she started at Yinghua, she resisted exploring anything related to China. Now, Lueth says, Lucy proudly answers her cousins, “Yeah, I was born in China.”
63.Yinghua is different from other schools in Minneapolis in the way that_________.
A.it offers subjects to students mostly in Chinese
B.its language program is popular in the U.S.A
C.kids there begin to learn Chinese at the age of 12
D.its students learn subjects half in English and half in Chinese
64.One of the challenges at Yinghua is that_________.
A.most parents do not respect its teachers
B.teachers need to get used to the local culture
C.its students are mostly from nontraditional families
D.there is misunderstanding between teachers and students
65.We can learn from the last paragraph that immersion program _________.
A.enables students pass tests more easily
B.benefits students in learning psychology
C.helps some students accept the local customs
D.contributes to the better development of students
66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Teachers in Yinghua have difficulty in understanding the local culture.
B.Parents are discouraged to speak out their opinions of the school in Yinghua.
C.The students in Yinghua are expected to speak English and Chinese fluently.
D.Yinghua is the first school in the USA to introduce Chinese culture to students.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010-2011學(xué)年廣西桂林中學(xué)高三上學(xué)期第一次摸底英語(yǔ)試題 題型:閱讀理解
To hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him.To fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers.A serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, a student his scarf.In a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a driver’s attention.
When I hitch-hiked 9,500 miles across the United States and back recently I wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella.My suitcase was decorated with British flags.Having plenty of luggage, moreover, I was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者).I then had to get across to the driver the idea that I was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply.
But even with careful preparation, you must not assume(認(rèn)為) that the task will be easy.You should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to(承認(rèn)) a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of), hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from Aldermaston to London.In America, my average wait was half-an-hour, and my longest two hours, but I have heard of people waiting all day; they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice.
Nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people.On one occasion I found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi.There are also lesser(較小的) risks: you may find yourself in the car of a Fascist fanatic, a Mormon missionary(傳教士), or just a bad driver.You cannot tell, of course until you are in the car.But you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again.
If the hitch-hiker in the U.S.will remember that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of American of the West.It will also help if he can drive—I think that I drove myself about 4,500 of those 9,500 miles I hitch-hiked in the States.
71.A hitch-hiking serviceman should wear his uniform .
A.so as not to look too unusual B.to attract attention
C.to show he is on duty D.to put the driver at ease
72.In paragraph 3, we learn that the writer .
A.has sometimes failed to hitch a ride
B.has marched from Aldermaston to London
C.has always been successful in hitching a ride
D.has had to wait for long hours for a ridew
73.The main idea of Paragraph 4 is that .
A.it is dangerous to be in a car with strangers
B.hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimes
C.a(chǎn) hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excuse
D.hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers
74.In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us that a hitchhiker should .
A.not talk to the driver too much
B.fall asleep to make it a peaceful ride
C.try to make himself pleasant and entertaining
D.seek the willingness of drivers
75.A suitable title for the passage would be .
A.“The Art of Hitch-hiking” B.“An Englishman’s View of the U.S.”
C.“An English Hitch-hiker” D.“The joys and Dangers of hitch-hiking

There is a joke among flu researchers: “If you've seen one flu season, you've seen one flu season.” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virus. Every year it looks different, and every strain (類(lèi)型) follows its own pattern — it's the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.
Dr. Michael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking way. “Every stone we've turned over, we get more questions.”
The flu rectums every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全國(guó)或全世界范圍流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains infect people and others do not; they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients become seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (癥狀). As a result, when a new strain shows up — like H1N1 — they often have little information to fall back on, and the lessons of previous pandemics are only somewhat helpful. While researchers are still putting together a complete picture of H1N1, for example, its most striking difference with the seasonal flu is that the elder1y are not the most vulnerable (易受攻擊的) population.
Influenza's unpredictable nature makes it a moving target for researchers, says researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan. “Even if we had complete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldn't be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,” she explains.
Whi1e researchers are frustrated by the holes in their knowledge, they say, however, that the pub1ic--health community is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasonal flu data that do exist. Studying influenza, says Osterholm, is “l(fā)ike looking through the windows of a house you can't get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers do have is like “l(fā)ooking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”
One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them.
1.What do we learn about H1N1 from the passage?
A.In fact it is not a kind of influenza virus. |
B.It is quite possible to predict it in theory. |
C.Old people are more likely to contract it than kids. |
D.Receiving vaccines will be effective to protect against it. |
2. The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Para. 3 probably means .
A.rely on |
B.pass on |
C.col1ect |
D.exchange |
3. What do we know about previous seasonal flu data?
A.It is useless to study them. |
B.It is still necessary to study them. |
C.They are misleading most of the time. |
D.They are much more helpful than expected. |
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Outbreaks of the flu |
B.Symptoms of the flu |
C.Mysteries of the flu |
D.Risks of the flu |
