第二篇 Electronic Mail During the past few years, scientist the world over have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding-writing, any kind of writing but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail’s surprisingly high speed, convenience and economy, people who never before touched the stuff are regularly, skillfully, even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence. Electronic networks, woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days, are the route to colleagues in distant counties, shared data, bulletin boards and electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computer, a modem and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day, most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the internet, or net. E-mail is staring to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail, and of course, land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators, in par[ because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speeding discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication. Jeremy Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called E-mail the physicist’s umbilical cord. Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is using it, and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has accelerates its liberating presence with a cartoon--an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard, saying happily, "On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog." What does the sentence "On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog." imply in the last paragraph
A. Even dogs are interested in the computer.
B. E-mail has become very popular.
C. Dogs are liberated from their usual duties.
D. E-mail deprives dogs of their owners’ love.

The study, appearing in the latest issue of Journal of the US National Cancer Institute, concluded that people who use tanning devices were 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to have common kinds of skin cancer than were people who did not use the devices. The study confirmed what doctors have long suspected-that sun lamp use increases the risk of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, said Margaret R. Karagas, first author of the study. Either going to the tanning parlor, or getting an infrequent sunburn can seriously damage the skin, said Dr. James Spencer, vice chairman of the department of dermatology at Mount Hospital, but the small day-to-day exposure is worse for the skin in the long run. Joseph A. Levy, vice president of the International Smart Tan Network, however, said occasional sunburn "is a risk factor in all forms of skin cancer and intermittent sunburn is what the tanning industry is trying to stop. ’ In the study, Karagas and her colleagues interviewed 603 basal cell skin cancer patients and 293 with squamous cell skin cancer. They talked to 540 control subjects who did not have either type of skin cancer. About 1 million Americans are diagnosed annually with skin cancer. Among those skin cancer patients, about 80 percent are with basal cell skin cancer, 16 percent, with squamous cell skin cancer and 4 percent with melanoma-the most serious form of skin cancers. Back to the interviewed patients, 190 reported that they had used tanning devices at some time. In the control groups, only 75 had used such devices. Karagas said a statistical analysis shows that those who used tanning equipment were 2.5 times more likely to get squamous cell skin cancer than those who had not used the devices. For basal cell cancer, the risk was 1.5 times greater. The risk was highest for those who first used the tanning devices before the age of 20, said Karagas. For this group, the squamous cell cancer risk was 3.6 times greater than that of the controls while the basal cell cancer risk was 1.3 times greater. The passage mentions three forms of skin cancers, of which squamous cell skin cancer is the most dangerous.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not ment

In Germany alone around 100,000 people die annually as a result of cardiac arrest and many of these cases (3) by disruption to the heart’s rhythm. Those most at risk are Patients who have (4) suffered a heart attack and for years the use of defibrillators has proved useful in diagnosing (5) disruptions to heart rhythms and correcting them automatically by intervening within seconds. These devices (6) a range of functions such as that of pacemaker. Heart specialists at Freiburg’s University Clinic have now achieved a breakthrough with all implanted defibrillator (7) of generating a six-channel electrocardiogram(ECG) within the body. This integrated system allows early diagnosis of (8) blood-flow problems and a pending heart attack. It will be implanted in patients for the first time this year. Meanwhile, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Mathematics in Kaiserslautern have developed new computer software that renders the evaluation of ECG data (9) . The overwhelming (10) of patients at risk will not have an implanted defibrillator and must for this reason undergo regular ECGs. "Many of the current programs only (11) into account a linear correlation of the data. We are, however, making use (12) a non-linear process that reveals the chaotic patterns of heart beats as an open and complex system." Hagen Knaf says." (13) changes in the heart beats over time can be monitored and individual variations in patients taken into account." An old study of ECG data, based (14) 600 Patients who had suffered a subsequent heart attack, enabled the researchers to compare risks and to show (15) the new software evaluates the data considerably better.
A. maximum
B. minimum
C. majority
D. minority
