The Use of Examinations

A good education should make people think for themselves. But the exam can never do anything like that.

First, examinations are second to none because it brings anxiety to students. As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of terrible competition.

Second, exams do not interest students to read or to learn widely. They do not help students to look for more and more knowledge, but try to put as much as possible into the students’ head.

Third, they lower the standards of teaching, for they do not give any freedom to teachers to decide what to teach. Teachers themselves have no choice but to train their students in exam techniques. The most successful students are not always the best educated but the best trained in the technique of exams.

Fourth, they can tell you nothing about a person’s true ability. The exams are often nothing more than a subjective assessment(主观评价) by some examiners.

However, if there are no exams, few students or even no one will do any revision or study!

His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶格结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said. “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

      “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

      “Two full inches in the first three days!”

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.

       Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

       To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.

One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.

       Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

56. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are ______.

   A. objective                   B. costly                       C. unreliable                  D. illegal

57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

   A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.

   B. New products are more likely to be questionable.

   C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.

   D. The promoters usually just care about profits.

58. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ______.

   A. if it is a drug                                                  B. if it is a device        

   C. if its consumers make complaints                    D. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority

59. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as ______.

   A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

   B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

   C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

   D. an example of a quality beauty product

60. The author intends to ______.

   A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises

   B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

   C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
