阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后面的字数要求).

[1] If you are a recent soc,ial science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh.There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech“Information Age" demands people who are flexible(灵活

的)and who have good________.

[2]There are man}r social science majors in large companies who take up important positions.For example,a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science maiors are most suited to change, which is the leading: feature of the high speed,high-pressure,_high-tech world we now live in.

[3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs,but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a largepercentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that themost sought-after(广受欢迎的)quality in a person who was looking for a job was communicationskills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies.Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

[4]  Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their tech-nically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret theirchoice of studv.

Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?

    Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.

    To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 kilowatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.

    In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector (运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)

    While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.

1. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?

A. A new heating system.              

B. A new microwave oven.

C. A popular technique.               

D. The magnetron.

2. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?

A. It directly heats people in a room.       

B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.

C. It is safe.                            

D. It saves energy.

3. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about ________________.

A. 20 mw. / sq. cm.                   B. 40 mw. / sq. cm. 

C. 60 mw. / sq. cm.                   D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.

4. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?

A. The magnetron.                      

B. The motion detector.

C. The microwave oven.                 

D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.

5. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?

    A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.

    B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.

    C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter.

D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.
