Cancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum for cancer patients to swap stories or share experiences on how to cope with such a disastrous disease.

    But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference:it has an information safety net.

    This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue “cancer cures’’ or scientifically unreasonable information.

    Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat but if people wish to post a message they will need to register.

    And Rebekah Gibbs,a cancer patient and star e f TV’S Casualty has voiced her support for the new project.“I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea,’’she said.“I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer and I have had such a heart-warming response from other people going through the same thing.

    “The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment and side effects and you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends and family.And with Cancer Research UK.monitoring the forum people can be guaranteed the quality of information being exchanged.”

    Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its  CancerHelp UK website which is specially designed to give patients and their families 6,000  pages of up-to-date information that is easy to understand and explains a wide range of treatments for different types of cancer and give details of clinical trials.There is also a UK database of cancer clinical trials.

    The award-winning website attracts around one million visitors a month and Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.

    For those who do not have access to computers and have questions about cancer, the charity's team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients’ concerns on the phone.

    A.it has the support of a famous TV actress

    B.it is a source of reliable information

    C.it provides a huge amount of cancer information

    D.it attracts a great number of visitors from all over the world each month

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

Mary and Peter were having a picnic with some friends near a river when Mary noticed an object overhead. "Look!" she shouted to her friends. "That's a spaceship up there and it's going to land here."

    Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her. They, more curious than frightened, watched the spaceship land and saw a door open. When nobody came out, they went to the spaceship and entered inside. Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door closed behind him. The temperature fell rapidly and the two young people lost consciousness.

   "Yes," said Mary. "And we both went into it. Then..." she looked at her wrist. "That's funny. My watch has stopped. Oh, well, come on. It's time to go home."

    Driving about fifty meters, they found their way blocked by a thick wall made of something like glass. They got out of the car and tried to find their way round the wall but discovered that they were inside a circular wall. It was like a mirror and prevented them from seeing through it.

   On the other side of the wall, strange creatures walked past slowly. A few stopped to stare through the wall and read a new notice which, translated into English, said: "New arrivals at the zoo: a pair of Earthlings in their natural surroundings with their mobile house."

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive,hardly knowing whether to return or move forward,when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent.It was a tall young man,smoking

 He had an almost black face,though red and smooth.His moustache was black with curled points,though he could not be more than twenty, three or—four.There was an unusual force in his face,and in his daring rolling eyes.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 Well,my beauty, what can I do for you?’said he,coming forward.And seeing that she was quite m a loss:'Never mind me. I am Mr.d’Urberville,.Have you come to see me or my mother?’

  This differed greatly from what Tess had expected.She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face.She tried to keep calm and answered —I came to see your mother, sir.

  I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed, replied the representative of the house;for this was Mr.Alee, the only son of the noble family.’What is the business you wish to see her about?’ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 “It isn't business—it is—I can hardly say what!”

 “Pleasure?”

 “Oh no.Why, sir if tell you, it will seem—”

 Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here,her rosy lips curved(弯曲)towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man.

 “It is so foolish,she stammered(急急巴巴地说):“I fear 1 can't tell you!”

  “Never mind;I like foolish things.Try again,my dear’said he kindly.

 “Mother asked me to come,’Tess continued;and,indeed,I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this.I came,sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you”

“Ho! Poor relations?’

“Yes.”

“Stokes?”

“No; d’Urbervilles.”

“Ay, ay;I mean d'Urbervilles.”

“Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, —and—and we have an old seal(印章)and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”

“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure,” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy.  “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?”

“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

“Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?
