Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the U.S. filled streets all over America in early 2006. Many held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens-- not criminals. Many of these supported legislation from Senator John McCain that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures, including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their home countries.

Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. Some want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005,according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. Newcomers don't always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.

With the large numbers of undocumented African immigrants arriving in the Canary Islands and showing no sign of abating, the Spanish Govemment has decided to get tough. There will be no more mass amnesties for illegals, and anyone coming to Spain without permission will be sent back,the government has announced. About 23,000 migrants landed on the islands in 2006, and riots have erupted in some crowded reception centers. This has promoted local authorities to appeal to the United Nations for help.

France's new immigration and integration law gives the government new powers to encourage high-skilled migration. It takes effect in 2007. The new law authorizes the government to identify particular professions where France has a talent shortage. Then the government will help these identified employers find immigrant workers with needed skills or qualifications. The selected foreign employees will be granted "skills and talents" visas, valid for three years. But some concern that it'll cause brain drain in developing countries.

31. Many immigrants swarmed into streets in the U.S. in early 2006, demanding that they should be treated as __________.

Slowing Aging: Way to Fight Diseases in 21st Century

A group of aging experts from the United States and the United Kingdom suggest that the best strategy for preventing and fighting a multitude of diseases is to focus on slowing the biological processes of aging.

"The traditional medical approach of attacking individual diseases- cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆病) and Parkinson's disease (帕金森氏病) --will soon become less effective if we do not determine how all of these diseases either interact or share common mechanisms with aging," says S. Jay Olshansky, professor of epidemiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health and senior author of the commentary.

Middle-aged and older people are most often impacted by simultaneous but independent medical conditions. A cure for any of the major fatal diseases would have only a marginal impact on life expectancy (预期寿命) and the length of healthy life, Olshansky said.

The authors suggest that a new paradigm (模式) of health promotion and disease prevention could produce unprecedented social, economic and health dividends for current and future generations if the aging population is provided with extended years of healthy life.

They note that all living things, including humans, possess biochemical mechanisms that influence how quickly we age and, through dietary (饮食的) intervention or genetic alteration, it is possible to extend lifespan to postpone aging-related processes and diseases.

Further research in laboratory models is expected to provide clues to and deeper understanding of how existing interventions, such as exercise and good nutrition, may lead to lifelong well-being.

The authors also propose greatly increased funding for basic research into the "fundamental cellular (细胞的) and physiological changes that drive aging itself."

"We believe that the potential benefits of slowing aging processes have been underrecognized by most of the scientific community," said Olshansky. "We call on the health-research decision-makers to allocate substantial resources to support and develop practical interventions that slow aging in people."

An increase in age-related diseases and escalating health care costs make this the time for a "systematic attack on aging itself," the authors write.

Olshansky and colleagues contend that modem medicine is already heavily invested in efforts to extend life, and they argue that a fresh emphasis on aging has the potential to improve health and quality of life far more efficiently than is currently possible.

36. The experts believe the traditional approach of attacking individual diseases __________.

A. is the best strategy for fighting diseases

B. focuses on slowing aging processes

C. has gone out of date

D. needs to be improved

37. The authors hold a new paradigm of health promotion and disease prevention __________.

A. could have great potential

B. could be too expensive

C. could be too complicated

D. could be opposed by many people

38. It is possible to extend lifespan by means of all the following EXCEPT __________.

A. dietary intervention

B. genetic alteration

C. aging-relatedprocesses

D. exercise

39. The authors argue that more money should be spent on __________.

A. maintaining the well-being of the elderly

B. looking after the sick

C. extending the life of the dying

D. developing aging-slowing interventions

40. Which statement is NOT true according to the authors ?

A. There are now more age-related diseases.

B. Health care costs are on the rise.

C. A systematic attack on aging is needed.

D. Too little has been done to extend life.

Emotions

Emotion is a feeling about or reaction to certain important events or thoughts. People enjoy feeling such pleasant emotions as love, happiness, and contentment. They often try to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions, such as loneliness, worry, and grief.

Individuals communicate most of their emotions by means of words, a variety of sounds,facial expressions, and gestures. For example, anger causes many people to frown, make a fist, and yell. People learn ways of showing some of their emotions from members of their society, though heredity (遗传) may determine some emotional behavior. Research has shown that different isolated peoples show emotions by means of similar facial expressions.

Charles Darwin, famous for the theory of natural selection, also studied emotion. Darwin said in 1872 that emotional behavior originally served both as an aid to survival and as a method of communicating intentions. According to the James-Lange theory of emotions developed in the 1880s, people feel emotions only if aware of their own internal physical reactions to events, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. But this theory was not upheld by research on cats that had their nervous systems damaged. The cats could not feel their body's internal changes, but they showed normal emotional behavior. John B. Watson, an American psychologist who helped found the school of psychology called behaviorism, observed that babies stimulated by certain events showed three basic emotions- fear, anger, and love. Watson's view has been challenged frequently since he proposed it in 1919.

The most widely accepted view is that emotions occur as a complex sequence of events. The sequence begins when a person encounters an important event or thought. The person's interpretation of the encounter determines the feeling that is likely to follow. For example, someone who encounters a bear in the woods would probably interpret the event as dangerous. The sense of danger would cause the individual to feel fear. Each feeling is followed by physical changes and desires to take action, which are responses to the event that started the sequence. Thus, a person who met a bear would probably run away.

Several American psychologists independently developed the theory that there are eight basic emotions. These emotions -- which can exist at various levels of intensity-- are anger, fear, joy,sadness, acceptance, disgusts, surprise, and interest or curiosity. They combine to form all other emotions, just as certain basic colors produce all others.

41. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that those who are born blind __________.

A. have emotions different from those of sighted persons

B. have some facial expression like those of sighted persons

C. depend only on words to express their feelings

D. seldom communicate with other people by means of gestures

42. The James-Lange theory of emotions __________.

A. overlooked internal physical reactions

B. exaggerated the function of stimulating events

C. faced a challenge from counter evidence

D. offered a narrow interpretation of emotions

A. Interpretation made.

B. Responses produced.

C. Feeling stimulated.

D. Action taken.

A. they are classified in a similar way

B. they have the same influence on people's life

C. both of them may take on different forms

D. both of them may have basic elements mixed in them
