以下是大学新生的信息，请匹配大学新生与他们要选择的服务部门：
46．Richard is a foreign student majoring in medicine．He can adjust himself to the weather but he is having a lot of difficulties in getting used to the diet at the college cafeterias．E
47．John is fond of sports．He plays football every day．Unfortunately，he injured his leg while he was playing this morning．He urgently needs some medical help．C
48．Lucy is new student from Washington，and she often arrives at the college late since she lives far away from the university，so she desperately needs to find a new place to live in．B
49．Alice is going to leave university next year．She is preparing her papers and has to do a lot of research．She would like to find books on literature and learn how to use the audio-visual facilities．F
50．Rosemary studies in the department of computer science．She is really interested in this field，so she plans to be engaged in this booming industry after her graduation，but before she makes a final decision，she wants to consult experienced teachers．A．

14．Computer power is moving into the"cloud"-networks of data centres that use the Internet to supply all kinds of services，from e-mail and social networks to data storage and analysis．
The rise of cloud computing is rapid and causing huge changes in the tech industry．The old guard is suffering：
this week's 67billion merger （合并） between Dell and EMC，makers of computers and storage device
s respectively （分别），was a marriage forced by the rise of the cloud．
The gains for customers have been equally dramatic．Compared with older IT systems，cloud computing is often much cheaper．It adds tremendous flexibility：firms that need more computing capacity no longer have to spend weeks adding new servers and installing software．In the cloud they can get hold of it in minutes．Their applications can be updated continually，rather than just every few months．Individual users can reach theire-mails，files and photos from any device．And cloud services also tend to be more secure，since providers know better than their customers how to protect their computing systems against hackers．
But cloud computing makes one problem worse．In the old IT world，once a firm or a consumer had decided on an operating system or database，it was difficult and costly to switch to another．In the cloud this"lock-in"（锁定）is even worse．Cloud providers try their best to make it easy to upload data．They accumulate huge amounts of complex information，which cannot easily be moved to an alternative provider．
Cloud firms also create a world of interconnected services，software and devices，which is convenient but only for as long as you don't venture outside their universe．Being locked in to a provider is risky．Firms can start to tighten the screws by increasing prices．If a cloud provider goes bust （崩溃），its customers may have trouble getting back their data．
These risks have already caused a debate about whether the cloud needs stricter regulation．Some European politicians want to force cloud providers to ensure that data can be moved between them．That is too heavy-handed，because strict rules will prevent innovation in what is still a young industry．The history of computing suggests that common standards may well appear naturally in response to customers'demands-just as in personal computers，where it is now much easier to use the same files on different systems．
In the meantime，a few commonsense measures can reduce the risk of lock-in．Firms that use more than one cloud provider to host their data are less affected．So are those that keep their most important information in theirown data centres．Consumers can take precautions，too．Some services are better than others at enabling users to move data between providers （Google does well on this score）．Cloud computing promises its users many benefits，but don't mistake it for some sort of digital heaven．

13．Below is a selection of 8unusual scientists who did research．
1．Wan tried to ride a rocket chair．You have to hand it to Wan Hu．Legend has it that when the Chinese official，Wan Hu，decided to visit the moon，he didn't ask one of his servants to sit in the hot seat．He settled himself into a wood chair fixed with 47rockets．When 47torch-bearing assistants lit the rockets，there was aloud sound and lots of smoke--but no more Wan Hu．There is，however，a crater named for Wan Hu on the far side of the moon．
2．Isaac Newton stuck a needle in his eye．Though best known for discovering the laws of gravitation，Newton also did pioneering research in optics．He experimented with prisms（棱镜），but that didn't reveal much about the eye's structure or how it senses color．To learn more，the unusual physicist took a type of needle known with a sharp tip and，he wrote，"put it between my eye and the bone as near to the backside of my eye as I could．"
3．Nicolae Minovici hanged himself．Nicolae Minovici performed a series of experiments in which he allowed himself to be choked by ropes．Though his feet reportedly never left the ground，he experienced a burning pain in his neck and signaled to be lowered．He had trouble swallowing for an entire month．
4．Franz Reichelt tested his parachute by jumping from the Eiffel Tower．On Feb 4，1912，an Austrian-borntailor named Franz Reichelt tested his"parachute（降落伞）suit"--an airman's suit designed to function as aparachute in the event of an emergency．Alas，the chute failed to open up，which contributed to his death．The event was recorded in still photos as well as in the grainy video below．
5．Evan O'Neill Kane took out his own appendix 阑尾）．Dr．Kane，a surgeon working in Pennsylvania in the early 20th Century，wanted to find out about appendix．On Feb.15，1921，he chose to perform the surgery himself and take out his appendix．But he calmly pushed them back in and kept working．
6．Werner Forssmann stuck a plastic tube in his own heart．In the early part of the last century，it was believed that inserting something into a beating heart would be deadly．Werner Forssmann thought other wise．So one day in 1929，he put a tube into his heart．Fortunately he survived the daring experiment but lost his job．But his fearlessness was rewarded when he won a Nobel Prize in 1956．
7．Frederick Hoelzel ate glass．And not just glass．During the 1920s and 1930s，University of Chicagoresearcher Frederick Hoelzel reportedly swallowed grain，glass，ball bearings，thread，wire，and other non-food items in order to show how long it would take the items to pass through his guts（肠子）．Despite his risky research，Hoelzel lived into old age．
=8．Barry Marshall drank bacteria-loaded soup．For many years doctors had only an unclear idea about the cause of stomach illness．So he decided to be his own pig，taking germs from an infected patient，mixing the min a solution，and drinking it．A few days later，after experiencing a period of throwing up and tiredness，he examined his own gut--and proved the link between the germs and illness．For his daring experiment he won a Nobel Prize in 2005．
