  The curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as Requblican Senator(参议员) John McCain and Democratic Senator Barack Obama were formally selected as candidates of the two major parties.This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates.The big question for voters,as they face both an economic downturn and international threats,is :who will they elect? A young first - term senator promising change and new ideas,or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick(特立独行的人)?

  American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama.He has a white mother from the US and a black fater from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young.He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.

  However,McCain has a very different life story.

  He grew up in a Navy family and was a daring pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia,McCain's plane was shot down over Ietenam and he became a prisoner of war.McCain could have been set free if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years.

  "We need a president who is very,very old,"McCain joked at his age as many others do.If elected,he would be 72 when he takes office and the oldest man to step in.

  So in the end,the election may depend on several factors that are hard to judge:Will Obama's race matter to a significant number of voters ? Will workingclass whites who tended to support his primary (党内初选) oponent,Hillary Clinton,vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all,will uncertain voters be more attracted to Obama's vision or to McCain's experience?

  Whatever happens,one thing is clear,however:Whoever walks into the White House on January 20,2009,will find huge challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office,both at home and abroad.

  64.______makes the result of the election hard to predict.

   A.Whether working class whites care about Obama's inexperience

   B.The economic trouble the country now faces

   C.Who uncertain voters will finally decide to vote for

   D.McCain being too old to govern the country

   A.his multi - cultural background

   B.his belife in tradition

  Want a glance of the future of health care? Take a look at the way various networks of patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient, no matter where he or she may be.

  Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms are the most obvious example.Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (远程诊断) will be based on real physiological data (生理数据) from the actual patient.A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone.With this kind of equipment, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.

  Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural (countryside) care.And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need ?especially after earthquakes.On the whole, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts' opinions.

  But there is one problem.Bandwidth (宽带) is the limiting factor for sending complex medical pictures around the world, CU photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users.Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars.But medicine is looking towards both the second generation Internet and third generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.

  Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine.With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, experts' opinions and diagnosis are common.

1.The writer chiefly talks about________.

London—“Everyone else has one!” Lucy declared to her parents, trying to get a mobile phone as a gift for her 14th birthday. Her parents gave in.

Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning. The bus seats 20, of whom half have a mobile phone. One rings and several adolescent(青少年)owners fumble(摸索)with their bags.

Many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for traveling business-men—it is as likely to be found in school bags.

The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today's teens in Britain, according to a survey(调查)published last week, by NOP, a leading market research company in Britain. Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-old kids now have access to a mobile phone.

The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users. They are talking on the mobile and their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.

The interview with 2 019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text messaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch. The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.

For example, “cu” means “see you”; “lol”means “laugh out loud”and “2nite” is an abbreviation(缩略语)of “tonight”. All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.

Many schools have banned(禁止)students using mobile phones.

Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable(易受伤害的)to the mobile radiation(放射线).

1. The story of Lucy is told to show us         .

A. British parents meet their children’s needs whatever they are

B. British kids have good relationships with their parents

C. how British parents accept the truth of teenagers owning a mobile phone

D. why every child gets a mobile phone as a birthday present in UK

2. What would be the best title for this news story?

A. School Bans Mobile Phones

B. Parents’ Curiosity about Children Using Mobiles

C. Mobile Popularity among UK Teens

D. Secret Messages Popular among Kids in UK

3. The underlined word “eavesdrop” means         .

A. join in activity                        B. interrupt rudely

C. watch carefully                        D. listen secretly
