4、Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting,and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him．First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other,using only his bare hands;and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way．After the lesson,and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown．One of the questions was this:“Well,you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle．Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night,and that you have a rifle．Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you．What will you do?”
The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered,and then said,“Well,after what I have just seen,I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could,so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!”
The soldiers practiced__.

5、Pub hours shake-up revealed next week
By James Hardy Political Editor
PUBS and clubs will be allowed to stay open round-the-clock under a planned radical change of Britain's outdated licensing(许可证发放)laws.
Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday revealed a Bill(议案)to bring in the long-awaited improvement will be contained in the Queen's Speech next week．Some public bars and clubs could be open all hours while others could choose different closing times into the early hours.
Police forces around the country have said different closing times will mean the explosion in violence and vandalism(破坏行为)after 11p.m.-when aggressive drunks are sent out at the same time．
The move will be opposed by some MPs(下院议员)who fear it will lead to increased alcoholism,drunken behavior and crime．But ministers say there will be controls on which pubs and clubs are allowed to open 24 hours a day.
Places which consistently attract violent drunks and troublemakers will be turned down.
Mr．Blair said:"We believe there should be greater flexibility in licensing．In the end,the evidence that we have is that it may help in the fight against anti-social behavior．At the moment the very fixed nature of the hours sometimes means that you get particular problems outside pubs and city centers at particular hours of the evening."
The big change will be accompanied by a strict action on petty criminals who cause misery to urban and rural communities.
In a bid to prevent criticism of the licensing improvement,the Govenment is to extend on-the-spot fines to a range of offences from vandalism.
The PM said yesterday petty crime was the single biggest cause of daily aggressive behavior for millions.
When the new law is passed,__.

6、Californian Michael Schwabe said goodbye to the gas pump two years ago．He leased an electric car．Schwabe says he gets more out of driving an electric car than just a charge.
"With the price of gasoline and with the problems with clean air,it's important we get electric vehicles out on the road."
On California roads there are about two thousand electric cars．By 2003,ten percent of all new cars may be required to have zero emissions．This is a mandate automakers say it is way ahead of its time.
Gloria Bergquist of the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers says,"The technology(for zero emissions)isn't here yet;it still needs advancement in driving range to make it more appealing to a wider consumer audience."
Auto makers blame it on the batteries．Power runs out on most cars after about 70 miles．However,some cars can now go more than 100 miles on a charge．Batteries are expensive．Carmakers say there is nothing they can do about it.
Tim Carmichael of the Clean Air Coalition says,"The automakers have not built a vehicle unless required to do so,so it's very important for the state to stay committed to this program requiting automakers to build small amounts in beginning years and then the market will take off."
What do automakers blame for there being few electric cars now on the road?

8、Can animals be made to work for us?Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.
They point out that at a circus,for example,we may see elephants,monkeys,dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things．Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film．If you watch closely,you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward．The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.
Of course,as we know,dogs can be used to guard a house,and soldiers in both old and modem times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near．But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories．In Russia,for example,pigeons which are birds with good eyesight,are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory．When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others,it touches a steel plate with its beak．This turns on a light to warn people in the factory．At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward．It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars,and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.
What made scientists think animal can be made to work for us one day?

10、Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks．No one knows why the whales are dying.
Last year 270 whales died along the whales'migration route．Many people think starvation is the cause．This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber(fat)on them.
Twenty years ago,the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.
Some scientists think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food．More whales create more pressure on the food supply,a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of El Nino.
Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied．This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year．The whales could be dying from many diseases,but it may be over-population．
About how many more whales have been sighted in the San Francisco Bay this year compared to last year?

11、Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Home Office__.

12、Some college students drink too much alcohol at school．Many of them live on the campus．Heavy drinking has caused many problems．It can cause students to make bad choices and do dangerous things.
One college has decided to ban alcohol．It has gotten a reputation as a party school．Five students at the college have died from drinking too much alcohol．Recently,one student drank too much vodka．He slipped into a coma．The college hopes the new rule will prevent any more tragedies.
The new rule prohibits students from drinking alcohol in the dorms．The first time a student breaks the rule they will receive a warning．If they break the rule again,they will be evicted from the dorm．However,they will still have to pay for the dorm．Some students do not live on the campus．They live in houses near the campus．Those students are also banned from drinking alcohol,even if they are of legal age.
Freshmen at the college are now required to take a special course．The course is called AlcoholEdu,and lasts for two and a half hours．The students learn about the dangers of alcohol．They also take a survey to find out how much they know about alcohol．All first-year students must pass the course.
The college hopes that more information will help students make better choices．
How do officials know that alcohol is a problem at the school?

13、It was a case of emergency．The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke．She couldn't wake her mother,so she dialed"zero",An operator immediately called the fire department．Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help．Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations．Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important．Teach your children their names,and the section of town where you live．Try to keep what they learn within their abilities．Simple information,learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone．They should be taught to dial"zero"for the operator,at the very least．And they should be taught to dial"911"if it is used in your town.
Practice over a period of several days．Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99,Bowling Green Station,New York,NY 10004.
Paragraph 4 talks about dialing"911"．This number is probably
