We now know that AIDS is caused by a virus. The virus invades healthy cells including white blood cells that are part of our defense system against disease. It takes control of the healthy cell's genetic(ufta)material and forces the cell to make a copy of the virus. the cell then dies and the viral particles move on to invade and kill more healthy cells The AIDs virus is carried in a person's body fluids. the virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous(静脉内的) drugs.It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AiDs to her developing baby Many stories about the spread of AIDs are false. You cannot get AIDs by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You can not get it by touching, drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Experts say no one has gotten aids by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient There are several warning signs of an AIDS infection.

For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies—and other creatures—learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”;and there is no reason to doubt that this is true.But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards,at least in the early stages,had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理的) “drives”as thirst or hunger.In other words,a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort ,not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so.Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to reward"the babies and so taught them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement " switched on"a display of lights -and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right or even to make as many as three turns to one side Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would smile and bubble"when the display came on Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control 31. According to the author, babies learn to do things which A)are directly related to pleasure B)will meet their physical needs C)will bring them a feeling of success D)will satisfy their curiosity 32 Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby. A)would make learned responses when it saw the milk B)would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink C)would continue the simple movements without being given milk D)would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink 33. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in or der to A)have the lights turned on B )be rewarded with milk C)please their parents D)be praised 34The babies would"smile and bubble"at the lights because A)the lights were directly related to some basic drives B)the sight of the lights was interesting C)they need not turn back to watch the lights D)they succeeded in switching on"the lights 35.According to papousek's, the pleasure babies get in achieving something i s a reflection of A)a basic human desire to understand and control the world B)the satisfaction of certain physiological needs
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so taught them to carry out some simple movements,such as turning the head to one side or the other.Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure.So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where no milk was provided.He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on ”a display of lights —and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result,for instance,two left or two right,or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papousek’s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble”when the display came on.Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them,it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem,in mastering the skill,and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 31.According to the author,babies learn to do things which____ .

Shoals of fishes were killed sea birds hopelessly fouled with oil and coastal holiday resorts put out of business for several weeks. As a result of this particular incident scientists are becoming restless at the thought of Britains inability to cope with national disasters on a large scale. The reason for their concern is that technology is rapidly outstripping tit)man's ability to control Oil tankers, for instance have been allowed to get bigger and bigger without sufficient thought being given to emergency braking and manoeuvring arrangement. Collisions at sea continue but little effect has been made to develop safety devices as effective as those used for aircraft. Scientists were outspoken in expressing their concern during a recent meeting of the British Association. Unanimous approval was voiced when the leading speaker urged that a permanent national rescue services should be established, equipped for any emergency and ready to move off immediately Of all the possible disasters mentioned the one promoting most discussion was a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power station. one does not need a particularly vivid imagination to visualize the other possibilities discussed What would be the effect of a jumbo -jet crashing on a large chemical plant handling destroying liquids? Could the tapping of natural gas lead to any form of collapse? Suppose a lorry full of a highly poisonous chemical crashed unseen into a large reservoir? Dams can burst, abnormal conditions can lead to massive electrical blackouts An intensive study of such possibilities could at least reduce the effects of fu ture disasters. For example, it would mean that a number of technica alternatives (such as the choice between detergent or chalk for dispersing oil) could be exa mined and tested in ad vance so that specially trained expert would know exactly what action was needed in a given emergency 36. The main idea of the second paragraph is that A)safety precautions in aircraft are not as effective as those used on ships B)modern oil tankers can stop or turn easily in spite of their size Cthere are now fewer collisions at sea because of modern safety devices D)oil tankers are so big that special devices are needed 37. The idea of a permanent national rescue service was welcomed by
