A new kind of machine【21】to take the place of humans. These machines can do jobs that are too dangerous for humans.【22】, they are being developed to work in nuclear power centers, deep waters and outer space.
This is how the new machines work. A machine is placed in an area far away from the person who controls it. The person wears a special hard hat with tiny television screens. The screens【23】the person see and hear exactly what the machine is seeing and hearing. This gives the person the feeling of being in the same place【24】the machine. The person controls the machine. The machine follows the person's movements exactly. If the person raises his right arm, the machine raises the right arm, too. This means an【25】worker can do a dangerous job while【26】in a safe place. For example, a person can direct the machine【27】a bomb【28】gooing near the bomb himself.
The new machines are not exactly【29】robots. Robots are controlled by a computer. The new machines are controlled by a person. The new machines are called teleoperators. The nuclear power industry is especially interested in teleoperators. The machines could solve the problem of【30】radioactive materials.

Officially almost 60,000 Nepalese women are now working in the Middle East but the unofficial estimate is closer to 200,000. Many of them are under 30 years old and will be directly affected by the new ban.
The government&39;s been under growing pressure to do more to protect its workers. Women employed in the informal sector as part of a household are very vulnerable. Nepal&39;s Embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of alleged physical or sexual abuse, as well as complaints about unpaid wages and terrible conditions.
Many run safe houses to support women who flee their employer&39;s homes. It&39;s only 18 months since the government ended a 12-year ban on all women workers to the Gulf. That wasimposed after a young woman working in Kuwait committed suicide. Now they&39;re adopting this partial ban in the hope that older women might be less at risk. Nepal has a high unemployment rate and the government is trying to strike a balance between protection and allowing women to pursue opportunities.
Other countries face the same dilemma. Two months ago, Kenya banned its citizens from working in the Middle East because, it said, increasing numbers were being mistreated. Last year, Indonesia introduced a ban on women working as maids in the region. That followed numerous cases of abuse and the execution of an Indonesian maid who was accused of killing her former employer.
26. Who will be most probably be affected by the new ban？_________
A. Young Nepalese women working in the Middle East.
B. Nepalese women just back from the Middle East.
C. Nepalese women working at home.
D. Nepalese women who wants to work for rich families.
27. Why does the Nepalese government decide to adopt the ban？___________
A. Because they wanted women to work at home.
B. Because they wanted Nepalese women to have equal opportunities.
C. Because they wanted to protect the Nepalese women.
D. Because they had a bad relationship with the gulf countries.
28. How are the Nepalese women treated when working in the Middle East？_________
A. They are well treated.
B. They are offered many opportunities.
C. They have much freedom.
D. Many of them are mistreated and abused.
29. Which of the following is correct about the ban？_________
A. It is historical and has never been imposed before.
B. A year and a half ago, another ban existed.
C. It has lasted twelve years.
D. It solves the unemployment problem at home.
30. Which of the following is correct？_________
A. Middle East women work outside their countries.
B. Women working in the Middle East all come from Asia.
C. Women working in the Middle East need protection.
D. Embassies cannot do anything to protect women from their country.

The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, Beautiful Inside My Head Forever, at Sotheby's in London on September 15th, 2008．All but two pieces sold, fetching more than ￡ 70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brother, filed for bankruptcy.
The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003．At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $ 65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of art Economics, a research firm-double the figure five year earlier. Since then it may have come down to $ 50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.
In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst's sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008．Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, had to pay out nearly $ 200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.
The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionist at the end of 1989．This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie's chief executive, says: "I'm pretty confident we're at the bottom. "
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds--death, debt and divorce-still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.
In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as "a last victory" because______.
A．the art marker had witnessed a succession of victories
B．the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids
C．Beautiful inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces
D．it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis

Most scientists and engineers find careers in three general sectors of society: colleges and universities, industries, and federal and stale agencies. Their work includes an array of activities, from the conduct of basic and applied research to the design and application of new commercial products to the operation and maintenance of large engineering systems.
You can make your planning more effective by appreciating the direction in which professional careers are shifting within that larger picture.【66】But more than half the students who receive PhDs in science and engineering obtain work outside academe—a proportion that has increased steadily for 2 decades. And full-time academic positions in general are more difficult to find than they were during the 1960s and 1970s, when the research enterprise was expanding more rapidly.
【67】The end of the Cold War has removed some incentive for the federal government to fund defense-oriented basic research. Increased national and global competition has forced many industries to reduce expenses and staff. That means that there are fewer research and development positions in universities, industries, and government laboratories than there are qualified scientists and engineers looking for them.
【68】For example, there are strong public pressures for universities to shift their emphasis toward teaching and toward undergraduate education; the number of positions for permanent faculty has decreased; professors are no longer required to retire at a particular age; and more part-time and temporary faculty are being employed.【69】In engineering, careers are being transformed by several intersecting trends.【70】Companies value multilingual workers with a breadth of competencies—managerial as well as technical—and the ability to access and apply new scientific and technologic knowledge. The more flexible and mobile you can be, the more opportunities you will have and the greater will be your control over the shape of your career.
A. Powerful changes have swept through the universities.
B. All those trends 'affect the universities' ability to hire scientists and engineers.
C. For example, increasing numbers of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers find their skills valued in the financial arena.
D. International companies now draw employees from many nations, seeking out valued experts from a global pool of labor to work project by project.
E. For example, for many students, a PhD will mean a career as an academic researcher.
F. As our society changes, so too do the opportunities for careers in science and engineering.
