A
On the IraqSyria border,a pack of wild dogs circled American soldiers for food.The leader of the pack was a grayandwhite dog.The soldiers called him Nubs.Nubs was shaking and __36__ able to stand.Marine major Brian Dennis looked closer and saw that there was a knife wound __37__ his chest.
Dennis couldn’t stand seeing the dog __38__.He and his men immediately treated the wound,and gave Nubs medicine.Nubs__39__but was still in pain.The next day,the team had to__40__.Ten days later,Dennis’s unit was back,and so was Nubs.He was still___41__,but the men fed him and played with him.
Before long the unit once again__42__an outpost (前哨) 70 miles away.Nubs,slowly but determinedly,__43__them far into the trackless wasteland until the men lost__44__of him.Two days later,beyond Dennis’s__45__,he saw Nubs just outside the outpost.The dog had tracked him across 70 miles of frozen desert to__46__with the friend who had saved his life.From then on Nubs and the men slept in the same place,and ran around in the same ruins.
Until an order came down from above that they were not__47__to have pets. Dennis__48__to make sure the dog would continue to live the__49__life.So he quickly raised $4,000 from his family and friends to fly Nubs to__50__.
A month later,when Dennis and the dog were__51__in California,at first Nubs didn’t recognize the guy.__52__within minutes,the dog jumped into Dennis’s arms,jumping up again and again to__53__ his friend’s face.
A little__54__and concern in the middle of war will not save a violent world.But small stories,like the story of a soldier and a dog,hold a promise of a(n) __55__world.

Simply by analyzing a drop of blood, a doctor will be able to diagnose a birth defect or even cancer when it is in the early stage; using new technology, a material lighter but much stronger than steel can be produced.
These may sound like dreams at present. But the dreams may soon come true as research findings in laboratories are being turned into products more rapidly in the new century, according to experts participating in the fourth Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Technomart, a technology exhibition and trade fair in Suzhou.
"Most people think nano-technology(纳米技术)is too far-fetched to be real. But in fact nano-technology has been applied in a wide range of fields, such as medicine. It is coming into our daily life," said Cheng Jiachong from a Hong Kong-based nano-technology firm.
Nano-technology based on the nanometer, the unit of which is a billionth of a meter, enables scientists to have new concepts of disease diagnosis and treatment on a molecular(分子)and atomic scale, Cheng said.
By using nanometer particles, a doctor can separate the fetus cells(胚胎细胞)from the blood of a pregnant woman to see if the development of the fetus is normal. This method is also being used in the early diagnosis of cancer and heart disease, he said.
One of the most significant impacts of nano-technology is at the bio-inorganic materials interface, according to Greg Tegart, executive advisor of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight.
"By combining enzymes(酶)and silicon chips we can produce biosensors. These could be implanted in humans or animals to monitor health and to deliver corrective doses(剂量)of drugs," he told the participants a technology forum during the exhibition.
"Nano-technology could affect the production of nearly every man-made object, from automobiles, tires and computer circuits(电路), to advanced medicines and tissue replacement, and lead to the invention of objects yet to be imagined," said David Minns, a special advisor to the National Research Council of Canada.
It has been shown that carbon nano-tubes are ten times as strong as steel, with one sixth of the weight, and nano-scale systems have the potential to make supersonic transport cost- effective and to increase computer efficiency by millions of times, he said.
The experts agreed that the APEC technology exhibition and trade fair provided many chances for exchanges of innovative ideas and products.

A.stronger and lighter | B.lighter but as strong |
C.stronger but as light | D.poor in quality |
Mea and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms . Milk and other liquid foods are measured in liters or milliliters , These units only measure quantity : they do not measure the value of the food to the body . The unit which measures the quality or value of food is the calorie, the amount of heat given off by food when it burns . This measurement tells how much energy a certain food has when it is completely used by the body .
Our bodies use varying amount of calories . The more exercise we take, the more calories we burn . If we eat food which contains more calories than we use up , then it is possible that we would increase in weight . In order to avoid becoming overweight , it is advisable to eat a balanced diet and not to eat too many foods that have a high calories rating . The table below gives you some idea of the number of calories in food .
A. Meats |
B. Fruits |
C. Sweets and pastries |
D. Vegetable |
Slice of bacon 50 |
Apple 70 |
Small chocolate bar 190 |
60g bean 15 |
