     The time of a baby is born can decide what jobs they will work on in later lives, a new study has
suggested.  
     Being born in a certain month seems to show the statistical (统计学的) likelihood (可能性) of
what job a person will end up with.    
     Researchers have found that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from 
intelligence (智力) to length (长度)of life.    
     A child born in December is more likely (很可能的) to become a dentist while someone whose 
birthday falls in January will tend to be a debt collector (收账人), they found.    
     A February birth seems to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies seem to
become pilots.    
      Meanwhile, April and May babies are said to have a fairly (公平的,均等的) even spread of jobs;
births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player,
doctor or dentist.  
     The study was made by researchers who analysed (分析) the birth months of people in 19 different
occupations (职业) using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported.  
     Although these things may be difficult to explain,  relations between birth months and specific health
problems have a scientific basis (依据).
1. A child born in December is perhaps to become a ______.  
A. dentist      
B. debt collector      
C. researcher

     Singapore, July 12－many people enjoy chewing (咀嚼) gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it
against the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead,
they dropped it on sidewalks and on the streets where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck in the
doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn't close properly. This meant the trains didn't run on time. Singapore said that people had to give up chewing gum or pay a lot of money to the government. During the
time without chewing gum, the streets and underground trains of Singapore were clean.
     Now the government of Singapore is changing the rules a little. Some dentists say that chewing sugarless
gum can help take care of people's teeth. Now the government says that people will be able to buy special
kinds of gum at drugstores for health reasons. Other kinds of gum are still not allowed.
 根据短文内容, 判断正(T)误(F).

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。
     These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.
     Zoos Do a Good Job
     It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos.
However, I believe that zoos have many good points.
     Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without
zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
     Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly.
In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept
in zoos never go hungry.
     Thirdly,zoos protect the animals. They offer them safety in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos
give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
                                                                                                                                      Maria Smith
      Zoos Are Unnatural 
      In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals,
and they are only good for people.
      It is unnatural (非自然的)and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages. They
are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why
the bears and tigers always look so sad.
     Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly. But this is not
natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that
we treat other people with respect.
     Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go out of his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people
standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it either.
                                                                                                                                 Philip White
(     )1. Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos.                 
(     )2. In Maria's opinion, a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos.                      
(     )3. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild.                         
(     )4. According to Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy.
(     )5. Maria and Philip both agree that zoos are good for people.                              
(     )6. In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy.
