Passage Two It is a fair bet that more than half of the PCs bought this Christmas in America for less than $1 000 will have AMD rather than Intel inside. Not content with this seasonal miracle, Advanced Micro Devices is bidding to loosen Intel’s grip on the more profitable high end of the market too. It could well succeed. For most of its existence, AMD has lived in the shadow of the deal that it did with Intel in 1982. To power its PCs, IBM had decided to buy Intel’s new x-86 chips, but wanted a second supplier to keep Intel under control. Under the terms of the agreement, Intel got the contract, but had to share its intellectual property with the smaller AMD. Intel broke the arrangement, AMD started a lawsuit, and thus began nearly a decade of bitter legal battles between the two companies. The conflict misrepresented AMD’s business, absorbed management energy and weakened investor confidence. By selling cheap Intel clones(克隆产品), AMD staggered (蹒跚，摇晃) on, sometimes quite successfully, especially if Intel was late to market with a new product. But despite the support of computer makers complaining under Intel’s dominance, trying to get a lift on the back of an ill-tempered 8001b gorilla(大猩猩) was proving a risky form of existence. Eventually, under a settlement in 1995, AMD gave up any rights to Intel microcode. It was confident that its home-grown k5 would give Intel’s Pentium a run for its money, while a new $1.8 billion plant in Texas would meet demand and match Intel’s manufacturing skills. It did not. Design faults put the k5 more than two years behind the Pentium, and the Austin plant lay largely idle. In the last paragraph "give Intel’s Pentium a run for its money" means ______.

一引水式水电站通过环境影响评价并被批复后，历经3年建成，为日调节电站，功能是防洪、发电、灌溉，并兼有渔业功能。坝高30m，死库容约1.8亿m3，最高洪水位320m，最低死水位160m。坝址上游有一中型城市，水库回水段上游即是城市饮用水取水口，但未划分保护区。坝址下游有较多的农田，群众反映灌溉用水不足且产量有所下降。现已投入试运行，竣工验收调查由当地一家环评单位承担，调查发现有洄游性鱼类，但当时建设时未发现有洄游性鱼类，所以没有建过鱼设施。由于库区移民安置采取的是就近后靠的方式，陡坡开垦农田明显，而且有部分移民返迁。坝址下游减脱水段有一个弃渣场。现在库区鸟类较多，其中有国家保护鸟类约3种。 从保护洄游性鱼类、保障下游农灌和保护库区鸟类方面，本工程应该采取哪些措施
