Is the News Believable？ Unless you have gone through the experience yourself, or watched a loved one’s struggle, you really have no idea just how desperate cancer can make you. You pray, you rage, you bargain with God, but most of all you clutch at any hope, no matter how remote, of a second chance at life.
For a few excited days last week, however, it seemed as if the whole world was a cancer patient and that all humankind had been granted a reprieve(痛苦减轻) . Triggered by a front-page medical news story in the usually reserved New York Times, all anybody was talking about--- on the radio, on television, on the Internet, in phone calls to friends and relatives----was the report that a combination of two new drugs could , as the Times put it, “cure cancer in two years.”
In a matter of hours patients had jammed their doctors’ phone lines begging for a chance to test the miracle cancer cure. Cancer scientists raced to the phones to make sure everyone knew about their research too, generating a new round of headlines.
The time certainly seemed ripe for a breakthrough in cancer. Only last month scientists at the National Cancer Institute announced that they were halting a clinical trial of a drug called tamoxifen (他莫昔芬) ------ and offering it to patients getting the placebo(安慰剂) -----because it had proved so effective at preventing breast cancer (although it also seemed to increase the risk of uterine(子宫的) cancer). Two weeks later came the New York Times’ report that two new drugs could shrink tumors of every variety without any side effects whatsoever.
It all seemed too good to be true, and of course it was. There are no miracle cancer drugs, at least not yet. At this stage all the drug manufactures can offer is some very interesting molecules, and the only cancers they have cured so far have been in mice. By the middle of last week, even the TV talk-show hosts who talked most about the news had learned what every scientist already knew : that curing a disease in lab animals is not the same as doing it in humans. “The history of cancer research has been a history of curing cancer in the mouse,” Dr. Richard Klausner, head of the National Cancer Institute, told the Los Angeles Times. “We have cured mice of cancer for decades---and it simply didn’t work in people.”
第11题：According to the passage, a person suffering from cancer will
A．give up any hope.
B．pray for the health of his loved ones.
C．seize every chance of survival.
D．go out of his way to help others.

Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn’t afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company.However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.
One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.
The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.
31.Many workers would like to ___________.
A.dream of long holidays at home
B.spend a long time in unusual places
C.buy a holiday away from home
D.have a long holiday after many years
32.One company____________.
A.gives money to employees over 25 years
B.lends staff money to go on holidays
C.allows long holidays to certain staff
D.arranges long holidays for old employees
33.Most of the employees in the scheme ____________.
A.take foreign trips
B.develop their hobbies
C.take up photography
D.enjoy leisure activities
34.The directors feel that _____________.
A.the staff get a lot of pleasures from the scheme
B.older staff are very enthusiastic about holidays
C.the scheme is more expensive than they expected
D.the scheme is beneficial to staff relations
35.One of the problems is that ________________.
A.it is difficult to fill a temporary job
B.some employees are afraid of their colleagues
C.it is difficult for some people to re-adjust to the old routine after a long break
D.employees don’t feel secure when they are away

The Hope Project aims to bring hope to people struggling with a disability and to their families. The Hope Project was designed to reach, inform, assist and motivate(激发，驱使) parents to ensure that their disabled children get appropriate help and get it as early as possible, thereby(因此) giving them a much greater chance of taking their rightful place and playing their part in society. We also aim to inform. government and society about the needs of the disabled and their families whom we serve.
Since the Hope Project started, our most important work has been to talk to and keep in touch with parents and with persons with a special need, many in deep distress (穷困) through the Hope Project Help line. We try to offer a wide range of supports (advice, mediation, advocacy, networking, professional placement, etc.) and the fruits of our research into issues of health, education, benefits and care. We are national and are contacted from all over Ireland and internationally.
Since our establishment, we have been inundated(使应接不暇) with requests for help from parents of children and adults within the Autistic Spectrum(自闭症). We have as a result developed particular expertise in this area.
In the area of Autistic Spectrum Disorders(泛自闭症障碍症候群), the Hope Project holds one major conference and several workshops/seminars every year to bring the most up to date and relevant information to this country. We host a SIT therapy facility, summer camps, and integrated kindergarten. We assist parents in forming local support groups, classes and home programs.
