　　Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool．In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment．But that’s not what I did．

　　I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts(文科)university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering．Obviously, this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons．I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career．I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering．My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice．They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them．

　　I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible．I was going to be a complete engineer：technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one．

　　Now I’m not so sure．Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do．After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调)engineering with liberal-arts courses in college．

　　The reality that has blocked my path to becoming the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school．Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse．The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult．

Australia – The vote for euthanasia (安乐死) was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot debates. Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on – line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”

The full import may take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start failing.

Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying deat from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of washow I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.

According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?

    A．Australia now us the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.

    B．All people in Australia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.

    C．Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.

    D．According to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.

The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observes are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observes are waiting to see         .

    A．the result of the game of dominoes.

    B．that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.

    C．that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.

    D．the similar bills will be passed in other countries.

Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason?

    A．In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.

    B．In Australia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.

    C．In Australia, old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.

    D．Australians gradually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.

It can be inferred from the text that          .

    A．when Lloyd Nickson dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.

    B．physicians and citizens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.

    C．other countries are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.

    D．under the bill, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.

What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?

    A．Negative B．Critical C．Positive D．Doubtful

 ---You didn’t come to the party yesterday?
