01.6

More people die of tuberculosis (结核病) than of any

other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably

been the case in quite a while. During the early stages of S1. ________

the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh S2. ________

deaths in Europe's crowded cities were caused by the S3. ________

disease. From now on, though, western eyes, missing the S4. ________

global picture, saw the trouble going into decline. With

occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and

infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily S5. ________

through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the

introduction of antibiotics (抗菌素) strengthened the

trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed

to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers S6. ________

declared victory and withdrew.

They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of S7. ________

infections and deaths started to pick up again around the

world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in S8. ________

many places where it had never been away, it grew better. S9. ________

The World Health Organization estimates that 1.7

billion people (a third of the earth's population) suffer

from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was

falling, population growth kept the number of clinical

cases more or leconstantly at 8 million a year. Around S10. ________

3 million of those people died, nearly all of them in poor

countries.

02.1

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting

behavior. Viewing biologically, the modern footballer is revealed as a S1.________

member of a disguised hunting pack. His killing weapon has turned into

a harmlefootball and his prey into a goal-mouth. If his aim is inaccurate S2.________

and he scores a goal, enjoys the hunter's triumph of killing his prey. S3._________

To understand how this transformation has taken place we

must briefly look up at our ancient ancestors. They spent over a S4.________

million year evolving as co-operative hunters. Their very survival S5._______

depended on succein the hunting-field. Under this pressure their whole

way of life, even if their bodies, became radically changed. They became S6.________

chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-killers.

They co-operate as skillful male-group attackers. S7.________

Then, about ten thousand years ago, when this immensely long S8.________

formative period of hunting for food, they became farmers. Their

improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life, were put to a new S9._______

use-that of penning ( 把……关在圈中), controlling and domesticating

their prey. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The

risks and uncertainties of farming were no longer essential for survival. S10._______

02.6

A great many cities are experiencing difficulties which

are nothing new in the history of cities, except in their scale.

Some cities have lost their original purpose and have not found

new one. And any large or rich city is going to attract poor S1._________

immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes of prosperity S2._________

which are then often disappointing. There are backward towns

on the edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just as though there were S3._________

on the edge of seventeenth-century London or early nine-

teenth-century Paris. This is new is the scale. Descriptions S4._________

written by eighteenth-century travelers of the poor of Mexico

City, and the enormous contrasts that was to be found there, S5._________

are very dissimilar to descriptions of Mexico City today - the S6._________

poor can still be numbered in millions.

The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity,

but behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as a S7._________

promised land, that attracts immigrants from rural poverty S8._________

and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the S9._________

country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations late, S10._________

sends them flooding out again to the suburbs.

03.6

The Seattle Times Company is one newspa-pe-r firm that

has recognized the need for change and done something about

it. In the newspa-pe-r industry, pa-pe-rs must reflect the diversity

of the communities to which they provide information.

It must reflect that diversity with their news coverage or risk S1._______

losing their readers' interest and their advertisers' support.

Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial S2.________

minorities, the pa-pe-r has put into place policies and

procedures for hiring and maintain a diverse workforce. The S3._______ underlying reason for the change is that for information to be

fair, appropriate, and subjective, it should be reported by the S4._________

same kind of population that reads it.

A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and

photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times' S5.________

content and to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about

diversity issues. In an addition, the pa-pe-r instituted a content S6.________

audit(审查) that evaluates the frequency and manner of

representation of woman and people of color in photographs. S7._________

Early audits showed that minorities were pictured far too

infrequently and were pictured with a disproportionate

number of negative articles. The audit results from S8.________

improvement in the frequency of majority representation and S9.________

their portrayal in neutral or positive situations. And, with a S10._______

result, the Seattle Times has improved as a newspa-pe-r.

The diversity training and content audits helped the Seattle

Times Company to win the Personnel Journal Optimal Award

for excellence in managing change.
