Treasure - seeking in Titanic

  TREASURES of Titanic as well as the captain's logbook may reappear to the public. RMS Titanic Company declared recently that it was ready to search the interior part of the wreckage for the first time.

  Since 1985 when the wreckage of the luxury boat was found, the RMS has made five attempts to search it. But all the actions were confined (被限制) to the exterior (=outer part ) of the cabin (客舱). This time, divers will use a controlled diving machine and enter the boat to make a careful search.

  The boat is gradually eroded. This will be the last chance to seek all the treasures (worth about $ 300 million).

  Michel Navratil, the last male survivor of the Titanic disaster, has died at the age of 92.

  Navratil, who became a noted philosopher (哲学家), was nearly four in 1912 when his father left his mother and took him aboard the Titanic.

  After the vessel struck the iceberg, his father put the boy into a life boat and went down with the ship.

  Navratil said that the Titanic disaster had heavily influenced his career as a philosopher. He recalled the last words of his father as he kissed goodbye to the boy; tell your mother that I loved her dearly and still do.

  After the death of M. Navratil, two British and two American women, all in their nineties, are the last survivors of the disaster.

1.Why didn't the RMS search the interior part of the wreckage of Titanic before?

[  ]

A.Because it was forbidden to do so then.

B.Because no divers dared to enter it.

C.Because it was very difficult to enter it without advanced machines.

D.Because they didn't know there were so many treasures.

Ever tried taking smart drugs to perform better in exams? They

certainly work.Before last summer's exam, a few of my mates, merely

out of curiosity, took a considerable amount of Modafinil, a drug nor-

mally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症).Guess what? While I was

feeling sleepy, bored by revision, my mates were more focused.

Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours.It also sharpens the mind, improves memory and helps problem-solving.

But it does more than just keeping you awake.It disturbs your mental system, making you desperate to do what you are doing.You just don't want to do anything else but revise all the time non-stop.

A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs, like Modafinil, to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off, because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs. This might sound like what a stressed student desires. However, the pills have a range of side-effects.

"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people," as a medical expert puts it, "Ordering online, though easy, is a dangerous way to obtain drugs. You never know what you're actually purchasing. "

In my experience, Modafinil changes people's behaviour too. Over those weeks my friends  became different people-in turn aggressive, cold. Even eating became "a waste of time" and sodid conversation.

A BBC survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before, 92% would do so again. My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.

I admit I was curious-but not enough to try it. Seeing the strange behaviour of other users, I feel a little bit upset and scary. Modafinil may promise to change your grades, but it might also change the way you act. Don't say you haven't been warned!

71. According to the author, his mates took Modafinil for the purpose of______.

    A. escaping from reality          B. getting better exam results

    C. curing their narcolepsy          D. leading an active life

72. Taking the smart drug can lead to ______.

    A. cheating in the exam          B. dropping out of school

    C. youth crime              D. drug addiction

73. How does the author find his males' taking the smart drugs?

    A. Worrying.                 B. Inspiring.

    C. Acceptable.              D. Reasonable.

74. Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?

   A. Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.

   B. Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.

   C. Modafinil has a range of side effects.

   D. Modafinil is safe in healthy people.

75. Who are the target readers of this passage?

A. Teachers.               B. Doctors.

C. Scientists. D. Students.

  If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh.There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.

  There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions.For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses.Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

  Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily.A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates.The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies.Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are.It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

  Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.
