Passage 1 Searching for Utopia 1 While most of the world seems to be motivated by more money, better televisions, more powerful cars, the highest-tech computers, bigger houses there are some independent souls who are tired of “the rat-race”, that is, the stressful pressures of working hard to get ahead. Since around 1990, there has been a slow but steady rise in “intentional communities” in the U.S. An intentional community is a group of people who have chosen to live together with a common purpose. Although quite diverse in philosophy and lifestyle, each of these groups places a high priority on a sense of community, in other words, the feeling of belonging and mutual support. There were 300 intentional communities listed in the 1990 edition of the intentional Communities Directory; by 1995, this had grown to 600, and it is estimated that there are now several thousand, listed and unlisted, in operation. These communities vary in size, but in the 600 listed communities in 1995, total population, including children, was estimated at 24,000. 2 At first glance, the intentional community movement appears quite diverse. It is multi-generational, i.e. with ages ranging from children to seniors. They may choose to live together on a piece of rural land, in a suburban center, or in an urban neighbourhood. In some communities, individuals own their own land and house; in others, these things are shared. There is a wide variety of choices regarding standard of living – some embrace voluntary simplicity to live with others who share their values. Some are secularā while others are committed to a common religious belief. 3 What unites the intentional community movement is its members’ proud rejection of mainstream consumer values. Nearly all communities encourage sharing items members don’t need to own privately, for example. Washing machines, trucks, swimming pools. Many communities serve as model environmental or teaching centers for sustainable agriculture. For example, “The Farm”, a large cooperative community in rural Tennessee does not reject

competitive business practices but rather,commits to a vision of environmentally friendly business.Members of"The Farm"work in several small-scale industries including solar electronics,solar car research,and a publishing company for alterative books 4 An example of an intentional community committed to voluntary simplicity is Vashon Co-Housing Community.Its members choose to live in small unpainted wood houses, shingled with cedar."Uncle Martin"decided to leave New York in 1989 and move his family spends their evening playing old-fashioned card games,or reading Residents live in separte dwellings but homes are connected by dirt roads,there are 13 acres of communal land,all residents attend bimonthly mectings,and every month there is a work party in which everybody pitches in with outdoor chores 5 These communities are the newest expression of the 300-year-old American desire to build a non-hicrarchical,or equal,community with values uncorrupeed by the larger society.It was this desire to form a new,ideal community which hrought the Pilgrims to the U.S.in the early 17 century.300 years later.it is still impossible to find a community that has achieved perfection The problems we sce"out there"in the mainstream -greed,dishonesty,egoism,competition, factionalism-all manage to find their way into alternative cultures too.However,intentional communities have a much lower crime rate that their mairestream neighbours,and claim a more caring and satisfying lifestyle They are committed to ideals of ecology,cooperation,and family. even though they may ofien fail to reach those ideals perfectly.Their utopian vision provides a challenge to the pace and purpose of modern American society.

Its members choose to live in small unpainted wood houses, shingled with cedar. “Uncle Martin” decided to leave New York in 1989 and move his family spends their evening playing old-fashioned card games, or reading. Residents live in separate dwellings but homes are connected by dirt roads, there are 13 acres of communal land, all residents attend bimonthly meetings, and every month there is a work party in which everybody pitches in with outdoor chores. 5 These communities are the newest expression of the 300-year-old American desire to build a non-hierarchical, or equal, community with values uncorrupted by the larger society. It was this desire to form a new, ideal community which brought the Pilgrims to the U.S. in the early 17th century. 300 years later, it is still impossible to find a community that has achieved perfection. The problems we see “out there” in the mainstream – greed, dishonesty, egoism, competition, factionalism – all manage to find their way into alternative cultures too. However, intentional communities have a much lower crime rate that their mainstream neighbours, and claim a more caring and satisfying lifestyle. They are committed to ideals of ecology, cooperation, and family, even though they may often fail to reach those ideals perfectly. Their utopian vision provides a challenge to the pace and purpose of modern American society.

Passage 2 Importance of Pet Loss Therapy 1 Noriko Saito (not her real name), a company employee in her early 20s, lost her beloved male dog a couple of months ago. She attended the dying dog night and day, taking a full month off from work, but the dog passed away while she was dozing. Now she still blames herself for having missed the very moment of his death. "I let him die alone,&āquot; she says. "I'm still grieving for him. I feel as if I will never have such wonderful days as I had with him. I cannot find any meaning in life any more." 2 Housewife Yukari Matsuoka (not her real name) carries around the ashes of her cat, who died four months ago. She even brings the urn into her bed every night. "My friends tell me to bury it in the cemetery. They say the cat's soul cannot rest in peace if I keep her ashes," she says with a sigh. "But I want to keep it for a while." 3 These women might sound eccentric or even neurotic to some readers, but their reaction is fully understandable to those who have lost someone or something special, says Tsukimi Washizu, a veterinarian and lecturer at Nippon Veterinary and Zootechnical College. In Japan, where extended families are becoming a thing of the past and people are increasingly choosing to live alone, more people are beginning to keep pets as their companions. Pets give unconditional affection and comfort to humans, but their death can also bring them unbearable grief. 4 "Animals become a part of your family. It is very natural to be saddened over the death of your family," Washizu says. "Many people, however, will consider you a little strange if you

take even a single day off for your pet's funeral,while they'll give you sympathy for a death in your family and allow you to take several days off from work or school." 5 Washizu recently compiled a book titled "Pet no Shi.Sono Toki Anata wa (The Death of Your Pet-What Nexty"with several other specialists in the field.While many books on how to raisea and train pets have been published,this hook is prohably the first book on'pet loss"aimed at ordinary pet owners in Japan.she srys.The book includes such subjects as the terminal care of pets,how to deal with the remains after the death,and advice on how to cope with the loss of pets 6 The term"pet loss"came into usage in the late 70s among some veterinarians and psychotherapists in the United States and Europe.Beyond the physical loss,the term encompasses the pet owners psychological stress-such as grief,depression,anger.separation anxicty.guill. sleeping and eating disorders fatigue,sickness transient auditory and visl hallucirations and so on. 7 Although pet loss has recently become a topic in the Japanese manss media.Washizu is skeptical about the coverage."Media tend to senesationalize the story,focusing on only extreme cases,but it could malke readers or viewers mistakenly believe the majority of people suffering from pet loss are suffering from mental disorders,"she sarys."Truly serious cases are very rare. Most people can get over the loss eventually.though it might take time" 8 Keiko Yamazaki,a journalist and one of the authors of "Pet no Shi."agrees with Washizu."I wonder why the media is making such a fuss about the term Pet Loss Syndrome.' when we don't even have a term for spouse loes,"'she says 9 Nevertheless,a general awareness is important.Yamazaki points out that very few pet specialists in Japan can properly guide troubled peat owners.In the U.S.and Europe,various forms of pet loss care support are offered.Veterinary hospitals offer counselling service for the individual or family members to come and talk with staff,who are trained to deal with grief and depression related to pet loss Telephone counelling has also been sct up.Trained volunteers man the telephone lines for callers twenty-four hoursa day in some states in the U.S listening to their stories about their pets.and giving them advice on how to deal with death.Self-help groups have also been organized in many cities in the U.S.and Europe.People who have lost their pets meet once a week to share their grief and try to readjust to life without their pets Books on pet bereavement and condolence cards for people who have lost their pets are also commonly sold

While many books on how to raiseā and train pets have been published, this book is probably the first book on "pet loss" aimed at ordinary pet owners in Japan, she says. The book includes such subjects as the terminal care of pets, how to deal with the remains after the death, and advice on how to cope with the loss of pets. 6 The term "pet loss" came into usage in the late '70s among some veterinarians and psychotherapists in the United States and Europe. Beyond the physical loss, the term encompasses the pet owners' psychological stress - such as grief, depression, anger, separation anxiety, guilt, sleeping and eating disorders, fatigue, sickness, transient auditory and visual hallucinations and so on. 7 Although pet loss has recently become a topic in the Japanese mass media, Washizu is skeptical about the coverage. "Media tend to sensationalize the story, focusing on only extreme cases, but it could make readers or viewers mistakenly believe the majority of people suffering from pet loss are suffering from mental disorders, " she says. "Truly serious cases are very rare. Most people can get over the loss eventually, though it might take time." 8 Keiko Yamazaki, a journalist and one of the authors of "Pet no Shi," agrees with Washizu. "I wonder why the media is making such a fuss about the term 'Pet Loss Syndrome,' when we don't even have a term for spouse loss," she says. 9 Nevertheless, a general awareness is important. Yamazaki points out that very few pet specialists in Japan can properly guide troubled peāt owners. In the U.S. and Europe, various forms of pet loss care support are offered. Veterinary hospitals offer counselling service for the individual or family members to come and talk with staff, who are trained to deal with grief and depression related to pet loss. Telephone counselling has also been set up. * Trained volunteers man the telephone lines for callers twenty-four hours a day in some states in the U.S., listening to their stories about their pets, and giving them advice on how to deal with death. Self-help groups have also been organized in many cities in the U.S. and Europe. People who have lost their pets meet once a week to share their grief and try to readjust to life without their pets. Books on pet bereavement and condolence cards for people who have lost their pets are also commonly sold

And although not all the people who have lost their pets are using these services,it is at least available.Veterinarian surveys report about 30 peroent of pet owners in the U.S.may use these services at one time or another.Pet owners claim that it doesn't matter how many use it,the most important point is that society recognizes the grief caused by the los of pets 10 Chifumi Yoshida.a Kawaski-bused psychotherapist,is probably the only person in this country who is offering telephone counselling service for those suffering from pet loss.Since he started the service two years ago.Yoshida has had over 400 callers Many callers don't need to phone him more than once.because they usually feel somehow relieved afer sharing their feelings Some,he says,seem to be meantally depressed,though the percentage is very low."Ifyou have difficulty leading a normal social life for longer than two or three months,you should consult with a therapis”Yoshida srys. 11 According to Yoshida,many people do tend to humanize their pets,as if they were their children,so the pet's death can impact people like the loss of a child would.Some callers openy say losing their pet caused them more grief than their parent's death.he says. 12 Often other people's reactions have a great influence on recovery,Yoshida pointsout Careless remarks such as'It's just a pet"or "You can get anocher one"can worsen grief and depression.Warm acceptance and compassion can help them get over the loss smoothly.Yoshida 13 "After all,"sys Yoshida."human ties,or the existence of someone who will listen to you and provide a shoulder to cry on,will heal pet loss" Directions: Read Passage 2 and match the following persons'names in the left column with their relevant deseriptions in the right column Write your answers on your answer sheet.(20 points. 2 points for each choice) 11.Noriko Saito A.a housewife B unsure about the coverage of pet loss by mass media 12 Yukari Matsuoka C.lost her male dog a couple of months ago D.holding the view thadt warm acceptance and compaesion can help pet owners get over the loss smoothly 13.Tsukimi Washiau E.a 20-year-old company employce F.lost her cat four months ago

And although not all the people who have lost their pets are using these services, it is at least available. Veterinarian surveys report about 30 percent of pet owners in the U.S. may use these services at one time or another. Pet owners claim that it doesn't matter how many use it, the most important point is that society recognizes the grief caused by the loss of pets. 10 Chifumi Yoshida, a Kawasaki-based psychotherapist, is probably the only person in this country who is offering telephone counselling service for those suffering from pet loss. Since he started the service two years ago, Yoshida has had over 400 callers. Many callers don't need to phone him more than once, because they usually feel somehow relieved after sharing their feelings. Some, he says, seem to be meāntally depressed, though the percentage is very low. "If you have difficulty leading a normal social life for longer than two or three months, you should consult with a therapist," Yoshida says. 11 According to Yoshida, many people do tend to humanize their pets, as if they were their children, so the pet's death can impact people like the loss of a child would. Some callers openly say losing their pet caused them more grief than their parent's death, he says. 12 Often other people's reactions have a great influence on recovery, Yoshida points out. Careless remarks such as "It's just a pet" or "You can get another one" can worsen grief and depression. Warm acceptance and compassion can help them get over the loss smoothly.

Passage 3 Data On Ocean Floors 1 At the water's edge of Baltimore Harbor, two freshly painted gray ships await to be sent out on their next mission. These are the workhorses of the Information Revolution. They are wiring the world to meet the explosive and seemingly limitless demand for Internet, voice and video services, projected to be a $1 trillion-a-year global market by 2000. The tow ships, C.S. Global Link and its companion the C.S. Global Mariner are among the most technologically advanced vesselsā in the business of laying undersea fiber-optic communications cables. They are part of a worldwide fleet, owned by Tyco International Ltd., that has installed more transoceanic fiber than any other company. 2 Most of the world's telephone and Internet traffic courses through these hair-thin capillaries of glass, which stretch from one continent to another along the ocean floor. * In constant pulses of light, coded in the computer language of ones and zeros, they flash millions of phone calls, electronic mail messages, video clips and World Wide Web pages at light speed. 3 Undersea fiber-optic cables have become one of the most crucial components of today's communications-based global economy, despite mid-1960s predictions that satellites would make earthbound long-distance communications obsolete. 4 "Most people really do not realize the amount of telephone cables that are undersea, and that their calls actually go through them," said Rob Jones, captain of the C.S. Global Link. There are 228,958 miles (368,472 kilometers) of fiber-optic cable on the floors of the world's sea, enough to encircle Earth almost 10 times, according to KMI Corp. of Rhode Island. Another 177,717 miles of cable are planned for installation worldwide by 2000, KMI estimates

s That figure does not count the most ambitious program.Project Oxygen,which backers describe as a $14 billion"'Super Internet"that would pay out 198,844 miles of mainly undersea fiber-optic cable touching 175 countries Oxygen already has the bocking of 30 imterational tele-communications providers and is scheduled for completion in 2003.Project Oxygen is'the most ambitious project of communications in the 20th century,'said President John Kestrel of KMI"The internet is a major driver of the expansion.The second driver is the need for video transmissions 6 Glohal deregulation of telecommunications markets is also playing a key role in the subsea fiber boom.Phone companies around the world are rapidly going private and gowemments are opening their markets to competition.Chines officials,for example,cleverly played 14 competitors off each other in bids to build the first link between China and the United States-and then ultimately told them all to share the $I billion contract 7 Phrases such as"quantum leap "and 'orders of magnitude"frequently come up in discussions about advances in undersea fiber optics.In 1998,when glass fibers began to replace copper in telecommunications people stopped talking in terms of hundreds of simultaneous phone calls per cable and started talking about tens of thousands.Scientists at companies such a Ciena Corp of Maryland have more than quadrupled fiber-cable capacity by using lasers to split light into colors,sending data through each path in a prooess called 'wave drvision multiplexing"The newest trans-Atlantie cable can handle 2.4 million voice conversations at one time--or hundreds of thousands of compressed video images The Chira-U.S.project will handle 4 million calls at ooce. 8 Lucen Technology Inc one of the leading fiber optic companies,unveiled the latest breakthrough.The ability to transmit as many as 10 million calls over a single fiber by dividing the strand imo 80 separate wavelengths of light instend of 16.Lucen says the cable's 400-gigabit (billions of computer instructions per second)speed is enough to carry the world's Internet traffic aany given time on one fiber.One voice phone call requires64,000 bits Is there any limit to the capacity increase?"Absolutely no,"said Neil Tagare,Project Oxygen's founder and an undersea fiber veteran."There is no end in sight." 9 And as the boom in fiber-optics continues,the cost of fiber decreases.Each voice circuit in a pre-fiber trans-Atlantic cable in 1987 cost about $40,000 annually to build and maintain.Mr.Kessler said Today.the cost has dropped to roughly $100 to $200 per circuit,he

The tightly organized societies of bees and ants…. the hunting tactics of lion prides (狮群)…. the social hierarchies of monkey troops….These and dozens of other examples of animal behavior have long fascinated people. They have rarely been offered as anything more than evidence for the remarkable variety of nature. 2. Lately, however, some of the biologists who study animal ways have come to believe that their findings point to a far more profound conclusion. The superficial aspects of social behavior vary widely across the animal kingdom. Beneath these different aspects, however, the scientists assert, are common behavioral patterns. These patterns, they say, are governed by the genes and shaped by the forces described in the Darwinian theory of evolution. 3. This belief is the product of a new field of scientific inquiry called sociology. āIt carries with it a revolutionary implication. That is, much of a person's behavior toward his fellows, ranging from aggressive to kindly actions, may be as much a product of evolution as is the structure of the hand or the size of the brain. 4. Many psychologists and sociologists, in particular, have long held that human behavior arises almost entirely from unique intellectual and emotional capacities. But a growing number of scientists participating in the study of sociobiology are convinced otherwise. They believe that the ideas now emerging from their work are so powerful that every rational effort to understand human behavior must someday take them into account. The greatest impact of sociology, outside of animal research, is expected to be on sociology and psychology. Some sociobiologists predict that these fields of study will eventually be forced to modify their theories and practices. 5. Sociobiology is the study of the biological basis for social behavior in every species, from low ants' society to modern human society. It seeks to explain the origin of that behavior in terms of how it improves an individual's or a society's fitness to survive
