They Say Ireland's the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005， according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes， health， unemployment， climate， political stability， job security， gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom， family and community life".
Despite the bad weather， troubled health service， traffic congestion(拥挤)， gender inequality， and the high cost of living， Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland， which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger， is rated the gloomiest(最差的)， picking up only 3.89 points.职称英语培训
"Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued，" the report said， "some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact."
"Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old， such as stable family and community life."
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do， and that its findings would have their critics.
No. 2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway， Luxembourg， Sweden， Australia， Iceland， Italy， Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No. 29， a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US， which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg， took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

First Image-recognition Software
1. Dartmouth researchers and their colleagues have created an artificial intelligence software that uses photos to locate documents on the Internet with far greater accuracy than ever before.
2. The new system, which was tested on photos and is now being applied to videos, shows for the first time that a machine learning algorithm (运算法则) for image recognition and retrieval is accurate and efficient enough to improve large-scale document searches online. The system uses pixel (像素) data in images and potentially video — rather than just text — to locate documents. It learns to recognize the pixels associated with a search phrase by studying the results from text-based image search engines. The knowledge gleaned (收集) from those results can then be applied to other photos without tags or captions (图片说明), making for more accurate document search results.
3. "Over the last 30 years," says Associate Professor Lorenzo Torresani, a co-author of the study, "the Web has evolved from a *** all collection of mostly text documents to a modern, massive, fast-growing multimedia data set, where nearly every page includes multiple pictures or videos. When a person looks at a Web page, he immediately gets the gist (主旨) of it by looking at the pictures in it. Yet, surprisingly, all existing popular search engines, such as Google or Bing, strip away the information contained in the photos and use exclusively the text of Web pages to perform the document retrieval. Our study is the first to show that modern machine vision systems are accurate and efficient enough to make effective use of the information contained in image pixels to improve document search."
4. The researchers designed and tested a machine vision system — a type of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn without being explicitly programmed — that extracts semantic (语义的) information from the pixels of photos in Web pages. This information is used to enrich the description of the HTML page used by search engines for document retrieval. The researchers tested their approach using more than 600 search queries (查询)on a database of 50 million Web pages. They selected the text-retrieval search engine with the best performance and modified it to make use of the additional semantic information extracted by their method from the pictures of the Web pages. They found that this produced a 30 percent improvement in precision over the original search engine purely based on text.
23. Paragraph 1 ____
24. Paragraph 2 ____
25. Paragraph 3 ____
26. Paragraph 4 ____
A. Function of the new system
B. Improvement in document retrieval
C. Publication of the new discovery

Are You Getting Enough Sleep?
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school student in theUnited States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessnessfor a school science project. With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for 264hours and 12 minutes. That’s eleven days and nights without sleep!
What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep, Gardner startedhaving trouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry(模糊).By the third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fourth day, Gardnerwas hallucinating(产生幻觉). For example, when he saw a street sign, he thought it was aperson. He also imagined he was a famous football player. Over the next few days, Gardner’sspeech became so slurred(不清楚)that people couldn’t understand him. He also had troubleremembering things. By the eleventh day, Gardner couldn’t pass a counting test. In the middleof the test he simply stopped counting. He couldn’t remember what he was doing.
When Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes. The second night heslept for twelve hours, the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours, and by the fourthnight, he had returned to his normal sleep schedule.
Even though Gardner recovered quickly, scientists believe that going without sleep can bedangerous. They say that people should not repeat Randy’s experiment. Tests on white ratshave shown how serious sleeplessness can be. After a few weeks without sleep, the ratsstarted losing their fur(皮毛). And even though the rats ate more food than usual, they lostweight. Eventually the rats died.
During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25 years or more sleeping. But why? What is thepurpose of sleep? Surprisingly, scientists don’t know for sure. Some scientists think we sleep inorder to replenish(补充)brain cells. Other scientists think that sleep helps the body to growand to relieve stress. Whatever the reason, we know that it is important to get enough sleep.

The Meaning of Dreams
1 Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can cometo understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what theypotentially symbolize.
2 I can see their laughing faces ... laughing at me. But they aren’t as *** art. If they were,they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵义). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away fromeveryday routine. It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the otherhand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish toescape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex(自卑情结), which the dreamerattempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.
3 I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. Doesn’t matter how fast I go, I still can’tescape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力)like the first one,it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominantemotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can alsostumble(蹒跚)or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even moreterrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressurein their everyday life.
4 I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the personis often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of acliff. The overwhelming(强烈的)feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There isnothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly ((恐怖地)real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense ofenormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has afear of failure or even death.
5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There’s nothing I can do — nothing I can hold on to. Thissymbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They tryhard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation withno escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequentcontext for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you arenormally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it alsoshows a deep-seated phobia(恐惧)of losing a job and a livelihood.
23.Paragraph 2 ______
24.Paragraph 3 ______
25.Paragraph 4 ______
26.Paragraph 5 ______
A.Dream of running hard
B.Dream of falling down
C.Dream of being pushed away

27.If a person puts himself up above others in the dream, he may ________.
28.If a person dreams of being chased by others, he may ________.
29.If a person dreams of going over the edge of a cliff, he may ________.

A.be under pressure in everyday life

之一篇 Sprained(扭伤)Ankle
One of the most common injuries teenagers and *** s experience is a sprained ankle. A sprainoccurs when the ligaments(韧带)a joint are twisted(扭伤)and possibly torn. Ligaments arebands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a suddentwisting at the joint, or a stretching or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured areausually swells(肿胀)and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrongangle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on theground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk without experiencing intense pain, youmust seek medical help. If the pain is manageable, and you can walk, here are three words tohelp you remember how to treat yourself:
■ Elevate(抬高)
■ Cool
■ Bandage(打绷带)
As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding underthe skin. Once the blood pools around the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. Thepressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In orderto reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated sothat it is actually higher than your heart. Next, to reduce blood distribution and keep bleedingto a minimum, apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off, wait half an hour andthen reapply. This can be done several times a day for a total of three days.
Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature inthat area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise thebody temperature! Therefore, one accidentally triggers more blood distribution to theaffected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally, bandage the ankle. Be careful notto wind it too tightly; doing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.
31.A sprain is caused by
A.blood vessels being hurt in the foot.
B.constantly changing body temperature.
C.ligament fibers of a joint being twisted.
D.elevating one’s ankle.
32.The black-and-blue symptom of a sprain is due to
A.pressing one’s ankle.
B.a tight bandage.
C.applying a cold pack.
D.bleeding under the skin.
33.The word “it” in paragraph 2 (line 5) refers to
A.injury.
B.pressure.
C.ankle.
D.swelling.
34.Once the initial cold pack is removed, what is to be done?
A.Wait 30 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 20 minutes.
B.Begin bandaging the ankle.
C.Keep the ankle in a position lower than your heart.
D.Wait 20 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 30 minutes.
35.The main idea of the passage is to explain
A.how a sprain occurs.
B.how to treat a sprained ankle.
C.how to bandage an injured foot.
D.how to reduce the temperature of a wounded area.
第二篇 Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don’t know there’sno cure and strongly disagree that “the AIDS epidemic(流行)is over,” a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who haveworried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advancesin treatment and declines in deaths.
“While people are very optimistic about the advances, they’re still realistic about the fact thatthere is no cure”, says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll(民意测验), does find that the numberof people ranking AIDS as the country’s top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38%say it’s the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No. 1, down from 41 % in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1.200 *** s in September and October andasked additional questions of another 1.000 *** s in Novembers:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.
51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that thedrugs are not cures.
67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24%know deaths fell.
Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, “I’m encouraged that the American peopleare getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn’t over. I hope the decision-makers inWashington are getting the same message... We have seen signs of complacency(得意).”
36.Most people in the USA believe that
A.advances have been made in treating AIDS.
B.AIDS is no longer an epidemic.
C.AIDS is killing more people than before.
D.there is still no cure for AIDS.
37.Before the findings released by the Kaiser Family Foundation, activists worried that
A.the Americans might not concern about AIDS any more.
B.the government is too optimistic about the cure of AIDS.
C.the deaths caused by AIDS may increase.
D.scientists may not find cures for AIDS.
38.The results of the Kaiser survey and those of Gallup Poll are
A.similar.
B.different.
C.both wrong.
D.both unrealistic.
39.More than 50% people in the Kaiser poll agree that
A.advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.
B.AIDS is their top concern.

The Magic Io Personal Digital Pen
1 Check out the io Personal Digital Pen launched by Logitech：It’s a magic pen that can store everything you write and transfer it to your computer. And you don’t have to lug a hand-held device along with you for it to work.1
2 Logitech’s technology works like this：The pen writes normally, using normal ballpoint pen ink2. But while you are writing, a tiny camera inside the pen is also taking 100 snapshots per second of what you are doing3, mapping your writing via a patchwork of minute dots printed on the paper. All this information—the movement of your pen on the paper, basically — is then stored digitally inside the pen, whether you are writing notes or drawing complex diagrams. You can store up to 40 pages worth of doodles in the pen’s memory. As far as you are concerned4, you are just using a normal pen.
3 It is only when you drop the pen into its PC-connected cradle that the fun begins. Special software on your PC will figure out what you have done, and begin to download any documents you have written since the last time it was there. Depending on whether you have ticked certain boxes on the special notepad, it can also tell whether the document is destined to be an e-mail, a “to do” task, or a diagram to be ed into a word-processing document. Once the documents are downloaded you can view them, print them out or convert them to other formats.
4 The io Personal Digital Pen is a neat and simple solution to the problem of storing, sharing and retrieving handwritten notes, as well as for handling diagrams, pictures and other non-text doodling. You don’t have to carry a laptop along with you. All you have to do is just whip out the pen and the special paper and you are off5.
5 It is a great product because it does not force you to work differently—walking around with a screen strapped to your arm, or carrying with you extra bits and pieces. The pen is light and works like a normal pen if you need it to, while the special notepads look and feel like notepads. The only strange looks will be from people who are curious why you are writing with a cigar.
6 The io Personal Digital Pen also has potential elsewhere. FedEx6, for example, is introducing a version of the pen so that customers can fill out forms by hand — instead of punching letters into cumbersome devices. Once that data is digital more or less anything can be done with it — transferring it wirelessly to a central computer, for example, or via a hand-phone. Doctors could tran *** it their prescriptions direct to pharmacies, reducing fraud; policemen could send their reports back to the station, reducing paperwork.

译文：神奇的io私人数字笔
仔细看看由Logitech公司发明的io私人数字笔吧。这是一种神奇的笔。可以将你写的所有东西储存下来并转换到计算机上，而你在使用这种数字笔时却不必携带手持设备。
Logitech技术的工作原理如下：这种笔使用一种普通的圆珠笔墨水，和平常一样写字。但是当你写字时，笔内的一个极小的摄像头也在以每秒钟100张的速度对你所写的内容进行快速拍摄，通过印在纸上的'小点块拼出你所写的内容。然后，无论你是记笔记还是画复杂图表，所以的信息——基本上都是笔在纸上的移动——都将以数字形式存储于笔中。你可在笔的存储器中存储多达40页的资料。而对你来说，你只不过是在使用一支普通的笔而已。
只有当你将笔插入与PC机连接的笔座中时，有趣的事才真正开始。你的PC机的专用软件会估算出你所做之事，并下载你最新写下的所有文件。根据你是否在专用记事本的一些特定框里打对号，这种笔还可以辨别出文档是电子邮件、“待执行”人物还是要插入文字处理文档的图表。文档下载后，你就可以查看、打印或将其转换为其他形式。
io私人数字笔可妥善又简单地解决手写笔记的存储、共享和检索问题，也可处理图表、图片以及其他非文本资料。你不必携带电脑，你只需要拿出笔和专门用纸就能开始工作了。
这是一种很了不起的产品，因为你的工作不会因之产生任何麻烦——你不必携带显示屏，也不必携带任何附件。它非常轻便，如果你需要的话，也可以当普通笔来用，而这种专用记事本看起来摸起来都很像普通记事本。有些人会很好奇，不明白为什么你在用雪茄写字，这是唯一看起来令人费解的地方。
io私人数字笔在其他方面也很有潜力。例如，联邦快递公司正引进一种数字笔，从而用户可用手填写表格，而无需再费力劳神地打进机器中。如果数字为数字型，几乎所有事情都可由这种笔来完成——例如将数据通过无线方式或手机传输到中心计算机上。医生可将处方直接转到药房，减少了欺诈行为的发生。警察可将报告发回警察局，减少了文书工作。
