The search for life in the universe took a step forwards last month with the opening of the Allen Telescope Array(艾伦望远镜阵歹!]) in Hat Creek, California. The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twenty-five million dollars from Paul Allen. The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars.

At present, there are 42 radio telescopes working at the Hat Creek ob?servatory. The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single, very large telescope. The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars, black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelli?gent life in space. The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View, Califor?nia. The organization supports the search for other life forms in the uni-verse.

What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky. In addition, the 42 tele?scopes can study information about several projects at the same time. That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before.

Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years. 350 individual radio telescopes are planned. The new abil?ities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster.

An earlier search by SETI, Project Phoenix, studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years. The project ended in 2004. With the Allen Telescope Array, astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more in?formation in the search for life beyond our planet.

An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly，many people opposed it or had serious reserva?tions about it. One very experienced social worker opposed the scheme in a television interview. When asked to explain the basis for his opposition，he thought for a moment and finally con?fessed, "Well,I guess, because it's new. That's my only reason.”

Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders to com?munity service of some kind rather than send them to prison. The stigma of having a criminal re?cord was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by sending some types of convicted people to prison.

Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. "If a murderer is allowed free in the community like this,what is to prevent him from killing somebody else?" This argument ignored the fact that nobody proposed to allow convicted murderers to use the bracelet system. One criticism put forward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to wear while he himself wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the bracelet would be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with it.

A more serious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to be
part of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no parti-
cular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime. No immediate action was
taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully.
However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointed experts to investigate the
scheme and make recommendations for or against it.

( ) 7. The supporters of the scheme will probably agree that

A. the hard life of prison may prevent some people from repeating a crime

B. the life at home is too comfortable for the prisoners

C. high-technology should be deterrent to crime

( ) 8. The prospect of the advice is that

A. it will be put into practice immediately

B. it will be declined by the government

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.

As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries(画廊)and into pub?lic places, some of the country's most gifted artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 ， 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of modern art in corridors(走道)，waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent initiatives(new plans) owe a great deal to one artist,Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester Hospital in Northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 ，000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings，in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist,Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduations.

The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyard.

The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden nee?ded half the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

( ) 5. What does the author mean by using the phrase "to soften the hard edge of modern buildings" in the second paragraph?

A. To hold exhibitions of art and paintings in hospitals.

B. To tear down the old hospital and build a new one.

C. To decorate hospitals with art collection.

D. To paint the walls of hospitals in soft colors.

( ) 6. What is true about Peter Senior?

E. A famous doctor in Manchester Hospital and a gifted artist.

F. Britain's first hospital artist and a patient in Manchester Royal Hospital.

G. One of the six young art school graduations.

H. A gifted artist and a pioneer introducing art into hospitals.
( ) 7. According to Peter Senior,we can infer that

A. modern hospitals have a lot of patients

B. art is hot appreciated by a large number of people in modern society

C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting

D. artists can not find their positions in modern society

( ) 8. What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. The improvement of hospital environment may help the patients recover from illness.

B. The improvement of hospital environment may be more effective than the medical treatment.

C. The hard wall of the hospital worsens the patients.

D. The patients would suffer from no pain at all after they had a longer view onto the garden.

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English lan?guage ,you will get answers like ^ilShakespeare" "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster", but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn't even speak English―William the Conqueror.

Before 1066 ，in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region were the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, thought not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English) ，a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Sax?ons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked，which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time,they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
