Springfield, Mass, May 2——Protesters (抗议者) marched outside America’s largest handgun maker Saturday to demand safeguards (保护) cut down on the thousands of gun deaths that happen each year.

“We are holding the gun industry responsible(有责任) because they have refused to design, advertise and market their products to save the lives of children,” said Arlene Locicero. Locicero, whose daughter was one of the six people killed in a 1993 shooting on a Long Island train, was among 150 people protesting outside Smith & Wesson.

Shoes Used in Protest

The protest was one of several planned to be held Saturday outside the country’s largest gun- makers in Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts and Virginia.

Protesters laid out 5,285 pairs of shoes to show the number of young people aged 19 and under who died from gun shots in 1995.

The protesters wanted gun makers to make guns childproof(防儿童的), put on clear warning on guns, reduce production and raise prices.

Congress Considering Bill

Congress(议会) is now considering a bill to educate parents about proper gun storage.

Ed Shults, Smith & Wesson’s President, said his company already sells guns with locks and takes many of the measures suggested by the protesters.

However, “There is no proper training of those who are using handguns.” He said gun owners must learn the importance of safe storage that keeps away from children.

1. This piece of news is mainly about ________.

A．what people demanded in reducing deaths caused by guns

B．the protest held against owning guns

C．a bill how gun owners should store their guns

D．why children should not have guns

2. According to the protesters, who should be blamed most for the great number of gun deaths?

A．only people in Massachusetts held a protest

　　Car-free neighborhoods exist all over Europe．A quarter of households in Britain live without cars．Vauban in Germany is one of the largest car-free neighborhoods in Europe．If you live in the district, you are required to confirm once a year that you do not own a car-or, if you do own one, you must buy a space in a multi-storey car park on the edge of the district．

　　Vehicles in most of the European car-free areas are physically stopped from entering the streets where people live．Exceptions are made for emergency vehicles and removal vans but not for normal deliveries．A few parking spaces nearby are available to buy(usually around one space for every five homes)and a few are reserved for car club vehicles．Cycling is a vital means of transport．

　　Car-free areas of this kind exist in Amsterdam, Vienna, Hamburg and so on．There is even a small one in Edinburgh．

　　There is another form of car-free development．Recently we have overlooked its potential．Most pedestrianzed(步行)city or neighborhood centers in Britain are almost entirely commercial．But a few farsighted councils have brought back housing and residents, without cars or parking, into city centers that would otherwise be deserted after 6 pm．

　　Car-free UK was set up to improve European-style car-free development in this country．We are not anti-car, but pro-choice．We have recently run public meetings in London to set up a new car-free association for London, which is beginning to look at areas of the city from which traffic could be removed．We know considerable potential demand exists for traffic-free housing in London, and probably in a number of other major cities．

Why are medical dramas so popular?

Why are we so fascinated by medical dramas? From the high drama of Casualty and ER to the squeamish reality of Embarrassing Bodies and One Born Every Minute, it is hard to look away. Books with a medical or health theme are equally popular on best-selling lists.

When it comes to how our bodies function and malfunction, we are hooked. Without doubt, medical science is a rich source of stories. The popularity of all forms of medical-based drama suggests that we love to watch and read about people dealing with pain and discomfort, facing problems we fear we might face too at some point in our lives. Prof George Ikkos, president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s psychiatry section, says it is more to do with learning about ourselves from other people. The integrity of our body is extremely important. We should be concerned about our own body and that lies at the heart of it. Programmes like Casualty are dramatic and exciting—they involve a lot of ordinary people we can relate to directly. "It’s not like watching something about nuclear physics or stamp collecting."

Prof Ikkos says: "Well-informed programmes can be helpful but people engage at different levels, from the highbrow to the lowbrow, depending on how people relate to what they are watching." There is, of course, no research to confirm whether these dramas improve our understanding of medical matters or change our knowledge of health issues. Some fly-on-the-wall medical shows may simply be a popular form of voyeurism(窥探者). "But they do give information that is helpful. I would not want to discourage them," Prof Ikkos adds.

The themes of health, medicine and science are also at the heart of many works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Best-selling novels such as Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes tackle the subjects of long-term memory loss and life as a paraplegic(高位截瘫的人). Thomas Wright, whose new book Circulation—a biography of the 17th Century physician William Harvey—won the Wellcome Trust Book Prize this week, does not need to be convinced about the power of medical history. He was attracted to the story behind Harvey’s discovery that the heart was the principal organ of the body, pumping blood through veins and arteries with an incredible force. During an experiment, Wright says, Harvey cut the aorta(主动脉) of an animal and the blood dashed out with such force and quantity that it splattered the room. "It was so shocking to people who thought blood flowed slowly around the body. It’s an image that stayed in my mind."That dramatic scene opens Wright’s book and he returns to it at the end too. Back then, people did not have much faith in physicians and many did not believe that medicine would be able to help or cure them, if they could afford to go to them in the first place. As a result, Harvey had a tough time convincing people of his theories.

Wright says how we view doctors and their methods has changed greatly since then and that could explain the popularity of medical dramas."Now we look to doctors and scientists for answers—we hope that they can overcome illness and death. We put them on a pedestal. Just the act of going to a doctor makes me feel better, but that builds expectations and pressure too."Wright hopes his book will appeal to the same audience who watch the blood-stained medical dramas on TV.

A. they want to form of medical-based drama

B. they want to read a rich source of stories.

C. they want to deal with pain and discomfort

D. they might face the similar situation in their life

64. According to prof Ikkos, which statement is right?

A. We can cure ourselves from dramas.

B. Pro Ikkos will improve medical drama show.

C. Different people can learn from the medical dramas.

D. There is no specific research to confirm medical matters.

65. Harvey’s experiment of cutting the aorta tells us_________.

A. the heart was the principal organ of the body
