But the truth is, even here in Singapore, security cannot be taken for granted. It is a small nation that has no natural resources to speak of, even something as basic as wate

21、r is constantly threatened to be cut off by Malaysia. Months after the September 11th attacks on US oil, a plot to bomb American soldiers near their military base in Singapore was uncovered by the local authorities.The United Nations has tried for more than half a century to architect peace for the

22、world. But it has clearly failed. The grand horrors of the World Wars may have stopped but only in the forms they had existed before. When the enemy is unseen and there are no front lines, have we in fact created a more peaceful and secure place?Where have we gone wrong? Perhaps it is because the in

23、ternational body has never understood that peace was, is, and will never be something it can manage. Not recognizing this truth, the methods it provides are often short-lived and some even dangerous. Solutions for threatening situations tend to require the countries to carry out economic and politic

24、al reforms so that they will become idealized democratic society like America or Britain. The UN fails to consider that hundreds of years of evolution gave rise to these strong democracies. So the result is further chaos and corruption, worse for all.Actually, an international organization or a gove

25、rnment cannot possess peace to give away, but there are those who do possess it. Those who own peace are us, as individuals who cherish life, not our own but all others'. The act of achieving peace lies in us when we choose to respect social and cultural differences and appreciate that all our l

30、sBFor poets, bird song is a beautiful expression of nature in full bloom. But for scientists, the chirps of birds are far more meaningful than just pretty sounds. Latest studies show the way that young birds learn to sing is similar to that of a human baby learning to speak."The question we'

31、;re trying to answer is how a young bird learns its song," says Professor Michale Fee of MIT. Bird's creative, trial-and-error type of learning provides an ideal model for studying similar processes in humans. An example is how a baby's babble turns into the recognizable syllables of ma

32、ma and papa.Also the part of the brain that is involved in bird song is very similar to that of a human. So birds may have something to teach us about our own brains, Fee said.The study shows that young birds like to create new and imperfect songs. Gradually, the youngsters' songs become less di

33、fferent and more similar to the sound of their parents. Scientists disabled part of a young finch's brain and stopped the learning in midstream. The bird still sings. But never learns the right songs.Fee's team found that the part of the brain involved is called the anterior forebrain pathwa

34、y. Its neurons produce random bursts that make the young bird make new sounds and compared it with that of their parents. They also find out that once a bird is old enough that part of the brain will be less active.The study does not enable us to really understand the meaning of bird language. But F

35、ee believes it will eventually be applied to human brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.46. The subject discussed in the passage is _.A. bird language B. how birds learn songs C. human brain diseases D. how birds create new songs47. According to the scientists, plays the most significant

The chirps of young birds can be imperfect but creative.49. It can be inferred from the story that _. A. young birds are always ma

38、king meaningless sounds B. if a bird had its anterior forebrain pathway damaged, it can never sing C. a bird can't live happily without its anterior forebrain pathway D. as a bird grows older, it may not learn new songs quickly50. Parkinson's disease is mentioned here to _. A. show how our b

39、rain works B. exemplify human brain disease C. explain how serious brain disease can be D. prove that human brain diseases are curableCIn 1996 I wanted to buy a Honda Civic. I went to the local dealer. "Oh, you want a Civic, do you?" said the fellow. "And I suppose you'd also like

40、 us to throw in a couple of front-row Superbowl tickets? Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw!"When his laughter ended, he explained that the Civic was such a hit in Europe that Honda was getting an extra $ 2,000 per car there, making Civic practically unavailable in the States. But he did offer to let me add my

41、 name to the waiting list-if I agreed to pay $1,000 over the sticker (標(biāo)貼) price.When Honda dealerships No. 2 and No. 3 gave me the same story, I was ready to try anything. I carefully looked over to . For a skinflint like me, Auto-By-Tel's scheme (方案) is nearly irresistible. You indicate the car

42、 you want to buy, compete with the freedom to choose. The nearest participating car dealer mails you back with a cut rate offer. There's no charge for any of this and no obligation to accept the offer. It surely seemed no less to me.Sure enough, two days later, a dealer 30 minutes away wrote me.

43、 "Unfortunately, 96 Civics are in very short supply," his message said, "The best we can offer you is $1,200 under sticker price. “I was in happiness. Ah! Bliss! Ah, saving! Ah, revenge!When I picked up the car, it got better. Since there was no haggling (還價(jià)), the dealership fellow wa

44、s friendly and congratulatory instead of everything. Now this, I thought, is the way to buy a car. Auto-By-Tel makes money by charging a fee to each participating dealer. The dealers make money by receiving hundreds of ready-to-buy customer names off the Web. And you save money because your price do

45、esn't reflect advertising, test drives, sales commissions, and so on.My only regret is that I didn't think up Auto-By-Tel first.51. This text mainly tells about the story of _.A. saving money chargingB. quarrelling with the dealersC. the experience of buying a car D. regretting buying a new
