? ?The study of law has been recognized
for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities.
?However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate
programs in English-Canadian universities. ?Traditionally, legal learning
has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers,
?rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated
person. ?Happily, the older and more continental view of legal education is
establishing itself in a number of Canadian universities and some have even
begun to offer undergraduate degrees in law.? ?If the study of law
is beginning to establish itself as part and parcel of a general education, its
aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. Law is a
discipline which encourages responsible judgment. ?On the one hand, it
provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom.
?On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner
which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover
and comment on the news. ?For example, notions of evidence and fact, of
basic rights and public interest are at work in the process of journalistic
judgment and production just as in courts of law. Sharpening judgment by
absorbing and reflecting on law is a desirable component of a journalist’s
intellectual preparation for his or her career.? ?But the idea
that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary
citizen turns on an understanding of the established conventions and special
responsibilities of the news media. ?Politics or, more broadly, the
functioning of the state, is a major subject for journalists. ?The better
informed they are about the way the state works, the better their reporting will
be. In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear
grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job
on political stories.? ?Furthermore, the legal system and the
events which occur within it are primary subjects for journalists. While the
quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst
many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. While comment
and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it is preferable for journalists
to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments.
?These can only come from a well- grounded understanding of the legal
system.（2）“需要

? ?After a shaky start, the Martian
flotilla that has arrived over the past few weeks is getting down to business.
Two of the five craft in it seem to be working perfectly. Two are lost, And a
fifth is sick, but undergoing treatment.? ?The most spectacular
pictures so far have been provided by Mars Empress, the European Space Agency’s
contribution to the fleet. On January 28th this reached its final working orbit
（which takes it over both poles, and thus allows it to see the whole of Mars
over the course of a few days as the planet revolves beneath it）. It has,
however, been sending back data since shortly after it arrived, ?and a few
days ago its controllers released a series of beautiful photographs, including a
stereo image of Valles Marineris, a huge canyon that may have been formed by
flowing water.? ?The most scientifically significant result,
though, has come from Opportunity, America’s second Mars rover. One of
Opportunity’s cameras has photographed evidence of stratification. in nearby
rocks. Such stratification indicates that the rocks concerned are sedimentary.
The layers could be repeated wind-blown deposits, ?or consist of ash from
successive volcanic eruptions. ?But the terrestrial rocks they most
resemble are ones that have formed under water.? ?The reason
everyone is getting so excited is Because there is a widespread assumption that
any form of tire which might dwell on Mars would need liquid water to live--or,
even if it could now subsist by extracting moisture from ice, would have needed
liquid water to evolve to that stage. Mars has seen more probes launched towards
it than all of the other planets put together precisely because of this hope
that it might harbour life. So there is a lot riding on the answer--not least
the funding of future missions.? ?Besides its scientific
significance, the success of Opportunity has also helped to distract attention
from the sudden refusal of Spirit, the first American rover to arrive on Mars,
to talk to its controllers. This craft had tentatively, but successfully, nosed
its way off its landing platform, and was about to drill its way into a nearby
rock prior to doing a spot of chemical analysis, when it went silent.?
? However, ?the engineers at NASA, America’s space agency, are nothing
if not resourceful, and they have a good record of carrying out running repairs
on spacecraft that are millions of kilometres away. In the case of Spirit, they
think that one of the craft’s memory chips has got cluttered up with files
created On the journey to Mars. That caused another chip, which manages the
first, to throw a wobbly and to keep rebooting the computer. ?They are
currently testing this idea by loading a diagnostic program on to the computer.
In addition, as a precaution, they have deleted excess files from the equivalent
memory chip on Opportunity.? ?Spirit’s spirits may thus revive. As
to the failures, the Japanese abandoned their fly-by craft Nozomi in December,
and the British team in charge of Beagle 2, which is presumed to have landed on
December 25th but from which no signal has been received, also seems to have
called it quits. Still, a 40～60% success rate （depending on whether Spirit is
brought back into commission） is not bad by the historical standards of missions
to Mars. Now, the real science begins.（3）“需要

? ?Success, it is often said, has many
fathers--and one of the many fathers of computing, that most successful of
industries, ?was Charles Babbage, ?a 19th-century British
mathematician. Exasperated by errors in the mathematical tables that were widely
used as calculation aids at the time, Babbage dreamed of building a mechanical
engine that could produce flawless tables automatically. ?But his attempts
to make such a machine in the 1920s failed, and the significance of his work was
only rediscovered this century.? ?Next year, ?at last,
?the first set of printed tables should emerge from a calculating
"difference engine" built to Babbage’s design. ?Babbage will have been
vindicated. ?But the realization of his dream will also underscore the
extent to which he was a man born ahead of his time.? ?The effort
to prove that Babbage’s designs were logically and practically sound began in
1985, when a team of researchers at the Science Museum in London set out to
build a difference engine in time for the 200th anniversary of Babbage’s birth
in 1992. The team, led by the museum’s curator of computing, Doron Swade,
?constructed a monstrous device of bronze, iron and steel. It was 11 feet
long, seven feet tall, weighed three tons, cost around $500 000 and took a year
to piece together. And it worked perfectly, cranking out successive values of
seventh-order polynomial equations to :31 significant figures. But it was
incomplete. To save money, an entire section of the machine, the printer, was
omitted.? ?To Babbage, the printer was a vital part of design.
Even if the engine produced the correct answers, there was still the risk that a
transcription or typesetting error would result in the finished mathematical
tables being inaccurate. The only way to guarantee error-free tables was to
automate the printing process as well. ?So his plans included
specifications for a printer almost as complicated as the calculating engine
itself, with adjustable margins, two separate fonts, and the ability to print in
two, three or four columns.? ?In January, after years of searching
for a sponsor for the printer, the Science Museum announced that a backer had
been found. ?Nathan Myhrvold, the chief technology officer at Microsoft,
agreed to pay for its construction （which is expected to cost ?$373 000
with one Proviso: that the Science Museum team would build him an identical
calculating engine and printer to decorate his new home on Lake Washington, near
Seattle）. ?Construction of the printer will begin--in full view of the
public--at the Science Museum later this month. The full machine will be
completed next year.? ?It is a nice irony that Babbage’s plans
should be realized only thanks to an infusion of cash from a man who got rich in
the computer revolution that Babbage helped to foment. ?More striking
still, even using 20th-century manufacturing technology the engine will have
cost over $830 000 to build. Allowing for inflation, this is roughly a third of
what it might have cost to build in Babbage’s day-in contrast to the cost of
electronic-computer technology, which halves in price every 18 months.
?That suggests that, ?even had Babbage succeeded, a Victorian computer
revolution based on mechanical technology would not necessarily have
followed.（4）“需要

? ?Britain’s bosses would have you believe
that business in Britain is groaning under red tape and punitive tax levels,
?inhibiting enterprise and putting British firms at a disadvantage compared
with overseas competitors.? ?As usual, reality paints a far
different picture from the tawdry image scrawled by the CBI and Tory
frontbenchers. ?Not only do British businesses pay lower levels of
corporation tax than their counterparts abroad but they benefit from the most
savage legal hamstringing of trade unionism.? ?But boardroom fat
cats in Britain have one further advantage over their competitors, which is
their total inability to feel any sense of shame.? ?The relatively
poor performance since the 1990s of pension investment funds, overseen by the
top companies themselves, has brought about a wide-ranging cull of occupational
pension schemes. Final salary schemes have been axed in favour of money purchase
or have been barred to new employees and, in many companies, staff have been
told that they will have to increase pensions fund payments to ensure previously
guaranteed benefits.? ?At a time when the government has been
deliberately running down the value of the state retirement pension and driving
pensioners towards means-tested benefits, ?the increasingly shaky nature of
occupational schemes has brought about higher levels of insecurity among working
people.? ?However, it’s not all doom and gloom. There is a silver
lining.? ?Unfortunately, that silver lining doesn’t shine too
brightly outside the corridors of corporate power, where directors are doing
what they are best at--looking after number one. Bosses are not only slurping up
huge salaries, each-way bonuses and golden parachutes. They have also, as TUC
general secretary Brendan Barber says, got "their snouts in a pensions
trough."? ?If having contributions worth one-thirtieth of their
salary each year paid into a pension scheme is good enough for directors, why do
most workers only receive one-sixtieth? And if companies only donate 6 per cent
of an employee’s salary for money purchase schemes, why do they give 20～30 per
cent for directors’ schemes?? ?The answer, which will be no secret
to many trade Unionists, is that we live in a class divided society in which big
business and the rich call the shots.? ?The Child Poverty Action
Group revelation that Britain also has the worst regional social inequality in
the industrialised world--second only to Mexico--illustrates how fatuous are
claims that this country enjoys social justice and opportunities for all.
?The stark facts of inequality, Based on class, gender, age and race, that
are outlined in the CPAG Poverty book ought to dictate a new government approach
to tackling poverty.? ?Inequality and poverty cannot be tackled by
allowing Big business and the rich to dodge their responsibilities to society
and to use their positions of power to seize the lion’s
share.填空集题：&Part B（1）“需要

typically toward the end of the interview. Avoid asking the frivolous just
because interviewers expect you to have questions. ?Instead, ask about
important matters, such as job duties, management style and the financial health
of the company. It’s not a good idea to ask questions about vacation, sick days,
lunch breaks and so on, right off the bat. ?Ask about the lesser matters of
importance during follow-up interviews.? ?Typically, you’ll
negotiate salary, benefits, perks and such in a follow-up interview. Regardless,
don’t bring it up until asked, yet be ready to discuss it at anytime.?
?A. This makes you look organized and professional. Remember to pack
relevant documents such as extra resumes and reference lists, immigrant
work-authorization papers, letters of recommendation, and information required
on job applications. Bring at least one pen and pencil, and a notepad
too.? ?B. If the interviewer is formal, then you probably should
be, too. If the interviewer is casual, then follow along while remaining
courteous and professional. In either case, try to appear to be relaxed, but not
too relaxed. ?It’s not a good idea to put your feet up on the interviewer’s
desk!? ?C. Avoid staring or you might make the interviewer
uncomfortable, but don’t look away too often either. To some, failure to
maintain a comfortable level of eye contact indicates that you are lying,
reaching for answers or lacking confidence.? ?D. It also helps you
to formulate questions about the company and job. Interviewers typically expect
you to ask such questions.? ?E. ?If it’s possible without
making a commotion, ?scoot your chair a little closer to the interviewer’s
desk or take the chair closet to the desk, like you’re ready to dive right in.
This shows interest and confidence. ?But don’t invade the interviewer’s
personal space, a perimeter of about two feet by U. 8. standards.?
?F. This shows that you are eager and punctual. If you’re not at least five

? ?For the first time in decades, doctors have begun making major
changes in the treatment of lung cancer, based on research proving that
chemotherapy can significantly lengthen life for many patients for whom it was
previously thought to be useless.? ?The shift in care applies to
about 50,000 people a year in the United States who have early cases of the most
common form of the disease, non-small-cell lung cancer, and whose tumors are
removed by surgery. （46） {{U}}Many of these patients, who just a few years ago
would have been treated with surgery alone, are now being given chemotherapy as
well, just as it is routinely given after surgery for breast or colon
（结肠）cancer.{{/U}} ?The new approach has brightened a picture that was often
bleak.? ?"The benefit is at least as good, and maybe better than
in the other cancers," said Dr. John Minna, a lung cancer expert and research
director at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
?He said new discoveries were helping to eliminate doctors’ "nihilistic"
attitudes about chemotherapy for lung cancer.? ?"The standard of
care has changed," said Dr. ?Christopher G. ?Azzoli, a lung cancer
specialist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.?
?（47） {{U}}A major impetus for the change came a year ago, when two studies
presented at a cancer conference showed marked increases in survival in patients
who received adjuvant （辅助的）chemotherapy, meaning the drugs were given after
surgery.{{/U}} In one study of 482 patients in Canada and the United States, led
by Dr. Timothy Winton, a surgeon from the University of Alberta, 69 percent of
patients who had surgery and chemotherapy were still alive five years later, as
compared with 54 percent who had just surgery. ?The patients were given a
combination of two drugs, cisplatin and vinorelbine, once a week for 16
weeks.? ?In the world of lung cancer research, a survival
difference of 15 percentage points is enormous. （48） {{U}}Overall, the patients
given chemotherapy lived 94 months, versus 73 months in those who had only
surgery--also a huge difference in a field in which a treatment is hailed as a
success if it gives patients even three or four extra months.{{/U}}?
?A second study, also announced at the conference last year, had similar
findings, and so did a third, presented just a month ago at the annual meeting
of the same cancer group, the American Society of Clinical Oncology,?
?At major medical centers, doctors quickly began to put the results into
practice.? ?（49） {{U}}"The findings were so stunning from these
studies a year ago that they began to change the standard of care," said Dr.
Pasi Janne, a lung cancer specialist at the-Dana Farber Cancer Institute in
Boston. {{/U}}"Over the last year, the number of patients we’ve had referred here
for adjuvant chemotherapy has gone up steadily."? ?（50） {{U}}But
some doctors hesitated to make changes, Dr. ?Winton said, wanting first to
see the studies published in a medical journal, which would mean the data had
stood up to the scrutiny（仔细的检查） of editors and expert reviewers.{{/U}}?
?Now, his study has become the first of the three to pass that test. It is
being published today in The New England Journal of Medicine, along with an
editorial by Dr. Katherine M. S. Pisters, a lung cancer specialist at the M. D.
Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.问答题：&Section Ⅲ Writing
