Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth

Abrain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months SO she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died．a day after giving birth．

“This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family。”Justin Torres，the woman’s brother-in-law。said In a statement．

“We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan，the baby and our family。”Jason Torres said in a statement．“We especially thank God for giving US little Susan．My wife’s courage will never be forgotten．”

Brain-dead Mother Dies after Giving Birth A brain-dead woman who was kept alive for three months so she could deliver the child she was carrying was removed from life support on Wednesday and died, a day after giving birth.

"This is obviously a bittersweet time for our family," Justin Torres, the woman's brother-in-law, said in a statement.

Susan Torres, a cancer-stricken, 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after the melanoma (黑瘤) spread to her brain.

Her family decided to keep her alive to give her foetus (胎儿) a chance. It became a race between the foetus' development and the cancer that was destroying the woman's body.

Doctors said that Torres' health was getting worse and that the risk of harm to the foetus finally outweighed the benefits of extending the pregnancy.

Torres gave birth to a daughter by Caesarean section (剖腹产手术) on Tuesday at Virginia Hospital Center. The baby was two months premature and weighed about a kilogram. She was in the newborn intensive care unit.

Dr Donna Tilden-Archer, the hospital's director of neonatology (新生儿学), described the child as "very vigorous." She said the baby had responded when she received stimulation, indicating she was healthy.

Doctors removed Torres from life support early Wednesday with the consent of her husband, Jason Tortes, after she received the final sacrament (圣礼) of the Roman

Catholic Church.

"We thank all of those who prayed and provided support for Susan, the baby and our family," Jason Torres said in a statement. "We especially thank God for giving us little Susan. My wife's courage will never be forgotten."

Manners in school, as everywhere else, are important to happy relation within the group. Western manners in this situation differ only slightly from good Chinese【21】

If you are in a very large class, it may not be necessary to greet the teacher on【22】. In a small class the teacher will probably notice each person as he arrives, and you【23】smile and say, "Good morning, Dr fen." Western manners do not require you to stand up when your teacher comes in or when you answer a question【24】do you need to stand still at the door for a moment when you come in. One never addresses one's teacher as "Teacher". It is quite【25】to say "sir" to a man, but if your teacher is a woman, you must use her surname.

It is bad manners to come late to class. If you are late,【26】should be made to the teacher either at the time or after class.

It is bad manners in the classroom, as elsewhere, to talk while anyone else is【27】. If you have something to say which is on the subject, wait till you have【28】. If it is not on the subject, save it till class is over.

It is also bad manners in the classroom, as elsewhere to look at anything【29】has written or to try to see what mark he has【30】. without asking his permission

A．students

B．teachers

C．habits

D．manners

听力原文：W: I'm not used to heavy reading load, so many seminars and so many papers to write.

M: As everything is presented in English, you may find it difficult to follow at the beginning.

Q: What does the man think the woman's problem is?

(17)

A．She doesn't follow the teacher.

B．She has been given too much work.

C．She has no interest at the beginning.

D．She isn't used to English teaching.

听力原文： Some people are right-handed and some are left-handed. No one knows the reason why a person becomes right-handed or left-handed. It is not true that it is caused by the way in which his parents educate him. In other words, a person is born to be right-handed or left-handed. Moreover, the left-handed and the right-handed "think" differently. Having to use the hand you're not used to can be very upsetting.

One day I tried an experiment: changing hands while eating rice with chopsticks. Being a right-hander, I hoped it would not be too hard for me to take the food with my left hand. Soon after I started, I realized I didn't know what I was doing. So I moved in front of a big mirror in order that I could observe my actions clearly. Looking at myself in the mirror, I found I looked like a man who had never used chopsticks. I became more and more nervous and finally I had to give it up.

My experience shows, being forced to use the hand one Is not used to affects a person's mind. So we should not try to change a left-hander. Some people still think being left-handed, is bad, but lucidly this idea is changing.

Whether a person is right-handed or left-handed results from ______.

A．the education of the parents

B．the education of the teachers

C．the practice of oneself

D．the example of the friends

Powering a City? It's a Breeze.

The graceful wooden windmills that have broken up the flat Dutch landscape for centuries -- a national symbol like wooden shoes and tulips -- yielded long ago to ungainly metal-pole turbines.

Now, windmills are breaking into a new frontier. Though still in its teething stages, the "urban turbine" is a high-tech windmill designed to generate energy from the rooftops of busy cities. Lighter, quieter, and often more efficient than rural counterparts, they take advantage of the extreme turbulence and rapid shifts in direction that characterize urban wind patterns.

Prototypes have been successfully tested in several Dutch cities, and the city government in the Hague has recently agreed to begin a large-scale deployment in 2003. Current models cost US ＄8,000 to US ＄12,000 and can generate between 3,000 and 7,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. A typical Dutch household uses 3,500 kilowatt hours per year, while in the United States, this figure jumps to around 10,000 kilowatt hours.

But so far, they are being designed more for public or commercial buildings than for private homes. The smallest of the current models weigh roughly 200 kilograms and can be installed on a roof in a few hours without using a crane.

Germany, Finland and Denmark have also been experimenting with the technology, but the ever-practical Dutch are natural pioneers in urban wind power mainly because of the lack of space. The Netherlands, with 16 million people crowded into a country twice the size of Slovenia, is the most densely populated in Europe.

Problems remain, however, for example, public safety concerns, and so strict standards should be applied to any potential manufacturers. Vibrations are the main problem in skyscraper-high turbine. People don't know what it would be like to work there, in an office next to one of the big turbines. It might be too hectic.

Meanwhile, projects are under way to use minimills to generate power for lifeboats, streetlights, and portable generators. "I think the thing about wind power is that you can use it in a whole range of situations," said Corin Millais, of the European Wind Energy Association. "It's a very local technology, and you can use it right in your backyard. I don't think anybody wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard."

What are the symbols of the Netherlands according to the first paragraph?

A．The flat landscape.

B．Wooden shoes and wooden windmills.

C．Metal-pole turbines.

D．Both A and B.
