Pass age Two

USThere are so many different p lastic cards that adults have to carry around—li brary cards，savings cards for different banks，credit cards，just to name a few".So why not have one to r eplace

them all?

USSco tt Barnhill,an 11-year-old fifth-grade student in the，has come up with an idea for a ’’Security One Card”.Sound smart? The US Patent（专利）Office thought so, and it approved a pat

ent for his idea in Apri 1.

USHere’ s an example of how Barn hill’s idea would work.

USLet’s say you have the three cards mentioned above. Instead of carry ing them all，you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips（磁条）added to it. The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card，even a blank one. Companies could add their in formation to one of the strips. For

example, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bank card.

USBa rnhill has a lot of hobb ies，includi ng designing websites. H e got the id ea at the ag e of 9 when he saw his f ather using a keycard to enter their hotel room.He thought/The hotels are wasting money with the key cards??’ So, instead of using a hotel-iss ued key card，guests could use their credit card s—if the ho tel added a special magnetic strip.At check-out，the strip would simply be

removed.

USNow tha t he has his patent，his next step i s a letter-w riting campa ign to get s uppoil from major credit card compan ies.

USTm going to be writing le tters to ere dit card com panies to as k if they ca n co-operate. I hope the y’ll give me money every time someon e puts a str ip on the ba ck of anothe r card, or e very time th e idea is us ed，“Bamhil 1 said.’’I’ll write the 1 etters and s ee what they say. If they say no, I’ 11 ask someo ne else, ano ther credit card company

USHe is hoping to m ake money fr om his paten t and has de cided it wou Id be better to collect royalties(专利使用贾)if the idea takes off rather than sell his patent. M The ATM person who invented that sold it totally，and if he’d chosen royalties he’d get like 2 cents for every t

ransaction ( 交易) and he’d be a billio naire now/ Scott said.

60 million of them, wo rk with them , and get al ong with the m very well. And fina lly it’s a p retty safe

The ant卜smokin g wall-build ers have, to give them t heir due, he Iped to make us all more keenly a war e of choice.But our guess, and certainly ou r hope, is t hat you are among the fa r greatest n umber who kn ow that wall s are only t emporary at best, and t

h at over the long run, we can serve s ociety's int erest better by working together in mutual accom modation.Whatever v

Passage Four

Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health

professionals .

In the past, these journals were available only in print. With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet, and some journals publish only online. A few medical journals，like the Journal of the American Medical Association, are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine. Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine . Medical journals publish many types of articles. Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments. Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature. Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors, combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing, diagnosing or treating a particular disease. Case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat at them. Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors, often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue . Editorials provide perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic. Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments ,questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.

Passage Fiv e

More and mo re, the oper ations of ou r businesses, government s, and finan cial institu tions are co ntrolled by information that exists only inside computer mem ories.

The com puter crimin als who have been caught may have be en the victi ms of uncomm only bad luc k. Unlike other lawbre akers, who m ust leave th e country, c ommit suicid e, or go to jail, comput er criminals sometimes e scape punish ment, demand ing not only that they n ot be charge d but that t hey be given good recomm endations an d perhaps ot her benefits . All too often, their d emands have been met.Why? Because company exe cutives are afraid of th e bad public ity that wou Id result if the public found out th at their com puter had be en misused.They hesitat e at the tho ught of a cr iminal boast ing in open court of how he juggled (诈骗)the mos t confident! al (保密)recor ds right und er the noses of the comp any's execut ives, accoun tants, and s ecurity staff. And so an other comput er criminal departs with just the re commendation s he needs t o continue h is crimes el sewhere.
