27、 Would you carry around an electronic ID, not in your pocket, but in your body? Does this idea scare you or make you feel safe?
The first computer ID chip(芯片) that could be planted under a person’s skin might be marketed very soon.
Developed by Applied Digital, an American technology company based in Florida, the device(发明物) could meet the need for public security(安全) after the September 11 attacks.
For airports, nuclear power plants(核电站) and other high security facilities, the immediate effects are obvious.
The technology could help put an end to false ID cards, because it would be difficult to remove and copy a tiny computer chip. The chip is as small as a grain of rice.
The technology would also allow satellites to track a person’s every movement and store medical records.
These uses are already attracting interest for tasks like fighting against kidnappings(绑架), or helping with medical operations.
But some people are afraid of the loss of privacy(隐私).
“You always have to think about what the device could be used for tomorrow,” said Lee Tien, a senior privacy lawyer in the United States.
“At first a device is used for applications we all agree are good, but then it slowly starts being used for more than it was intended,” he said.
However, Applied Digital says it will soon apply for government permission for the device. It says that the first people to use the chip will be volunteers.
Getting the implant(需移植的芯片) would go something like this:
A person or company buys the chip from Applied Digital for about US $ 200. And the company encodes(编码) it with the desired information.
The customer then takes the chip to their doctor, who can plant it with a large needle.
The device has no power supply, rather it is activated(使活动, 使运行) by a scanner(扫描仪) running across the skin above it. Without a scanner, the chip cannot be read.
Even with the privacy concern, some are already eager to use the product.
Jell Jacobs from Florida hopes to become the first buyer of the chip to store his medical records. Suffering from a serious illness, he wants to make sure doctors can help him quickly.
Eight Latin American companies have also shown interests in the device. It could help to find any tourists who are kidnapped.
【1】The best title for the passage is _______.
A.Why Is the New ID Necessary B.Getting a New Kind of ID Under Your Skin
C.An Advertisement for Chips D.Where to Buy the Chip
【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.In some airports and factories such device is already being used.
B.The information on the chip can be read when it has its power supply.
C.The technology could help put an end to false ID cards.
D.The first computer ID chip has already come into the market.
【3】What is the advantage with the electronic ID according to the passage?
A.It can store people’s medical records and help with medical operations.
B.With this people will have no fear of losing privacy.
C.It’s cheap to buy and easy to get.
D.It is developed by Applied Digital in Florida.
【4】What can we learn about Jeff Jacobs?
A.He’s a worker in Applied Digital, a company in Florida.
B.He’s a doctor who helps plant tile chips on people.
C.He fears if he uses the chip he will lose privacy.
D.He’s suffering from a serious illness and wants to buy the chip.
28、 The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized(工业化), the population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk of non-infectious diseases like diabetes(糖尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one per cent to 10 per cent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20-year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings, is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical(热带的) areas will become farmland for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gases in the future from agriculture than those coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health “a trilemma”: a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible settlement is leaving the Western diet behind.
【1】We can infer from the passage that .
A.Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B.overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C.the examined information comes from developing countries
D.industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
【2】According to the passage, more greenhouse gases might be given off in the future from .
A.transportation B.developing countries C.agriculture D.developed countries
【3】David Tilman believes that .
A.the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B.the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C.people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D.traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
【4】What's the main purpose of writing the passage?
A.To call on us to protect the environment.
B.To warn us of the danger of the Western diet.
C.To remind us of the importance of health.
D.To advise us to have a balanced diet.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
