7．FIVE Americans swept the three Nobel Prizes in Physics，Chemistry，Physiology （生理学） or Medicine last week．It was the first American sweep of the Nobel science prizes since 1983．
It's rare for Americans not to receive any of the science prizes，especially in recent years．In 2004，seven Americans were among the 10laureates （获奖者） for the science prizes．Last year，the figure was five out of 10．
The huge sums of money invested in scientific research is one factor that has helped many Americans to win awards．Another reason is the vast number of researchers working in the US．American universities also often have a more"creative university environment"where people can focus on research for a long period without any pressure，said Anders Liljas，member of the Nobel Committee．

New hope for AIDS patients？
AMERICAN scientists Craig Mello （top） of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Andrew Fire （above） of Stanford University School of Medicine won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine last Monday．Their discovery is a process that researchers hope to use to silence disease-causing genes （基因）．It offers new ways for disease treatment．
Scientists now hope to develop a new technique that could be used to treat diseases，such as cancers，AIDS and Parkinson's disease．

First light of the universe
TWO Americans won the Nobel Prize in Physics last Tuesday for measuring the oldest light in the heavens．It is considered as"one of the greatest discoveries of the century"．It convinced （使确信） scientists that the Big Bang theory （大爆炸理论） of the universe's origin is correct．George F．Smoot （top），61，of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley，and John C．Mather （above），60，of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Centre，will share the US1.4millionprizefortheirwork．Beginningin1989，theymeasuredweaklightthatoriginated（源于）asearlyas380，000 years after the Big Bang．

8．When a patient calls for help at Seton Medical Center，"Hi，Mr．Rogers，can I help you？"says a nurse； it's never a problem finding the nurse．It's because they all wear locator tags that are part of a wireless system that tracks their movements on the floor．"You can even tell when they are walking down the hallway．"says James Hattori．
This system made by Hill-Rom uses infrared（红外线的）signals to detect when nurses enter a room to answer a call．The Hill-Rom devices look like a mini computer mouse．Some hospitals are putting them in nurses'kitchens．Staff can talk and listen through a wall unit to nurses or even to patients in other rooms．"We can put the time we were spending hunting staff down，trying to find and locate them to much better use，"says a staff member from Seton．Hill-Rom says it has systems installed in more than 850 U．S．hospitals．
Some nurses worry that the devices will be used to listen in on conversations and scrutinize their movements．"I'm not wearing mine．I will still meet my patient's needs but I will not wear this badge．"Annette Bearden is among dozens of nurses at Eden Medical Center who staged an active protest two months ago and hid their badges though they were later recovered．"You know it makes me not feel like a professional．It makes me feel like that someone has to watch me to make sure I am doing my job．"
"The biggest reason we installed this technology is because our old call system is about 25 years old，"says a hospital manager．For hospitals this is a case of technology allowing，perhaps forcing people to better make use of their time．Officials at Eden don't deny they monitor how long it takes nurses to respond to calls but say their main concern is patient care．"I think it is one tool that we can use in measuring overall performance but by itself it is not a valid disciplinary tool，"says an Eden spokesperson．
Eden is expanding its system with hopes the nurse will eventually accept the new technology，but back at Seton where it's been in place for about two years，there is no uneasiness．"Once the staff actually find out how advantageous it can be for them and the patients，well，actually it became very popular．"
In Castro Valley，California，the Eden Medical Center spent almost three hundred thousand dollars to install the Hill-Rom systems on two floors．Eden hopes to get more of the systems for other floors．

73．Why is it easy to find a nurse at Seton Medical Center？B
A．The nurses are on television．
B．The nurses wear locator badges．
C．Every patient has his/her own nurse．
D．Each room has a telephone．
74．How can the staff talk to their patients when they are not in the same room？C
A．With hand signals．     B．Through microphones in the pocket．
C．Through a wall unit．   D．With infrared signals on the doors．
75．According to the passage，the underlined word"scrutinize"（paragraph 3）probably meansA．
A．watch closely        B．see inside
C．scan word by word    D．make right
76．How did the nurses at Eden Medical Center react to the badges？D
A．The nurses really liked the badges．
B．They threw the locator badges away．
C．They refused to work．
D．They protested and concealed the badges．
77．According to the administrators of the hospital，Eden Medical Center，the application of the Hill-Rom devices mainly aims atD．
A．introducing modern technology
B．adding a tool for discipline
C．replacing the old call system
D．improving the service for patients．

1．Surfing the net when you should be finishing a work report，changing clothes when you have a train to catch，or perhaps even lying in bed when you've promised yourself you'll work out．Sound familiar？You aren't alone．We all procrastinate （拖延） sometimes，especially when it comes to things we aren't really fond of．And while the number of activities we delay doing in any given week varies from person to person，it's fair to say that none of us is super-efficient 100percent of the time．
A study revealed that we spend about 218minutes procrastinating every day，which amounts to 55days of lost time each year．We might not think these figures particularly worthy of worry，but when we look at the overall impact of procrastination on our lives，it's a different story．Not only does this cost financial loss，it also affects peace of mind．And procrastination isn't just a money thief--it steals time too．In general，people who continually put things off are unhappier，as well as being less wealthy and healthy．
So why do we do it？"When we avoid taking action，we're really avoiding pain，"explains psychiatrist （精神病学家） Phil Stutz．For most of us，pain avoidance isn't limited to one situation．It applies to almost anything that's painful．Most of us try our best never to leave a comfort zone．That's why we sacrifice something much more valuable：time．"Our time on earth is limited，"Stutz adds．"Every moment is an opportunity we'll never have again．Procrastinators act as if they have all the time in the world．But deep down，they know they're wasting parts of their life．The trouble is，most of them don't know how to free themselves．"
One way he says we can reach this level of freedom is by overcoming the pain of avoidance using daily visualization （想象）．"Picture the pain you're avoiding as a black cloud in front of you，"Stutz says．"Notice how you're fed up with the ways this pain has held you back in life，and tell yourself that you're determined to conquer it．Then it's time to get through the cloud and to the other side-where you're free．"It is obvious that this tool works when we want to procrastinate．We then get into the habit of moving"towards"pain instead of away from it．
In addition to the fact that procrastinators suffer more health problems，procrastination also destroys teamwork and personal relationships because it shifts the burden of responsibilities onto others．So next time you think about putting something off，remember the impact it will have．Experts insist：procrastinators can change their behavior，it takes a lot of self-work but in the end，it's worth the effort．And start today，not tomorrow．
