Minority youths are more likely to face trial as adults.
A white kid sells a bag of cocaine at his suburban high school. A Latino kid does the same hi his inner-city neighborhood. Both get caught. Both are first-time offenders. The white kid walks into juvenile court with his parents, his priest, a good lawyer and medical coverage. The Latino kid walks into court with his mom, no legal resources and no insurance. The judge lets the white kid go with his family; he's placed in a private treatment program. The minority kid has no such option. He's detained. There, hi n nutshell, is what happens more and more often in the juvenile-court system. Minority youths arrested on violent felony charges in California are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be transferred out of the juvenile-justice system and tried as adults, according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute, a research center hi San Francisco. Once they are in adult courts, young black offenders are 18 times more likely to be jailed--and Hispanics seven times more likely---than are young white offenders. "Discrimination against kids of color accumulates at every stage of the justice system and skyrockets when juveniles are, tried as adults," says Dan Macallair, a co-author of the new study. "California has a double standard: throw kids of color behind bars, but rehabilitate white kids who commit comparable crimes."
Even as juvenile crime has declined from its peak in the early 199Qs, headline grabbing violence by minors has intensified a get-tough attitude. Over the past six years, 43 states have passed laws that make it easier to try juveniles as adults, in Texas and Connecticut in 1995, the latest year for which figures are available, all the juveniles in jails were minorities. Vincent Schiraldi, the Justice Policy Institute's director, concedes that "some kids need to be tried as adults. But most can be rehabilitated."
Instead, adult prisons tend to brutailze juveniles. They are eight times more likely to commit suicide and five times more likely to be sexually abused than offenders held In juvenile detention. "Once they get out, they tend to commit more crimes and more violent crimes, "says Jenni Gainsborough, a spokeswoman for the Sentencing Project, a reform. group In Washington. The system, In essence, is training career criminals. And it's doing its worst work among minorities.
From the first paragraph we learn that ______.
A．the white kid is more lucky than the minority kid
B．the white kid has got a lot of help than the minority kid
C．the white kid and minority kid has been treated differently
D．the minority kid should be set free at once

Toronto—The chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency said Friday his agency would complete 3,500 drag tests in the 12 months before the Salt Lake games, including 1,200 in the two months before the opening ceremonies.
"What we want is that our Olympic athletes and Olympic champions are heroes, not just winners", said Dick Pound, a longtime IOC official.
Pound, who will head a new commission charged with reducing the size and cost of the Olympics, told a Montreal news conference that 2,500 out-of-competition tests have been conducted on athletes from 75 countries, with 24 possible positive results showed actual use of illegal drags.
Pound said his World Anti-Doping Agency is creating the conditions for dope-free sports. The eventual goal is a single global anti-doping code embraced by the IOC and the governments of Olympic countries, Pound said. Such a code could be in place in time for the 2004 Games in Athens, he said.
"We'll be able to find anyone we need to find wherever they are, anywhere in the world", he said. "That is going to give other athletes who don't cheat a greater confidence, that there is no cheating going on. At that stage, our role switches over from testers to observers", he said.
How many drugs tests will be conducted before the Salt Lake Olympic Games？
A．4,700.
B．1,200.
C．3,500.
D．2,300.

A full night's sleep'/Not everyone needs it. The truism that all adults need at least eight hours of sleep a night for good health should be put to rest by mounting evidence that less may be better.①
People who sleep about seven hours a night live the longest, three huge studies have found, the newest out in the February issue of the journal Sleep. Still, many sleep experts say lots of adults get too little rest, and that can lead to dangerous health problems.
In the latest report from Japanese researchers, 104,010 adults were followed for about 10 years. At the start the participants answered questionnaires about their sleep patterns and about their health mental health and lifestyle. habits, which also can affect survival. After accounting for all of these factors, adults getting all average of seven hours had the lowest death rates. Surprisingly, less sleep ,even as little as four hours a night, didn't significantly increase deaths for men and only lowered survival for women if they averagde less than four hours② But adults who slept longer than seven hours, particulary women, were more likely to die during the 10 years.
Two other major published studies and a dozen smaller ones came to similar conclusions, says psychiatrist Daniel Kripke, a sleep researcher at the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine. Doctors shouldn't tell all of their patients to get at least eight hours of sleep, he says in an editorial in the journal. Hormonal changes triggered by darkness or other unknown biological effects from long sleep could be affecting survival,③ Kripke，says.
But short sleepers may suffer other bad effects. In his brief studies, those sleeping four to five and a half hours did poorly on tests that measure memory, clear thinking and the ability to pay attention, "and they did progressively worse as the week went on," says David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Adults who slept about seven hours performed best, he says. Other small studies have found adults who sleep less than six hours may be at higher risk for some diseases like diabetes and overweight. And sleep deprivation also causes car crashes, Dinges says. "People should get as many hours sleep, p as they need to feel rested," Kripke says, adding that there's no proof that shortening sleep will lengthen life. s1eep need is partly genetic and may be determined by other factors that also influence life span, he says.
What can we learn from the passage？
A．Sleep hours is the most important factor affecting survival.
B．Going to bed and getting up early improve health.
C．Less sleep is more harmful than over sufficient sleep to people.
D．People have different demands of sleep hours.

短文翻译(英译汉)
As a child—and as an adult as well—Bill was untidy. It has been said that in order to counteract this, Mary drew up weekly clothing plans for him. On Mondays he might go to school in blue, on Tuesdays in green, on Wednesdays in brown, on Thursdays in black, and so on Weekend meal schedules might also be planned in detail.
Bill’s contemporaries, even at the age, recognized that he was exceptional. Every year, he and his friends would go to summer camp. Bill especially liked swimming and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team. We all knew Bill was smarter than us. Even back then, when he was nine or ten years old, he talked like an adult and could express himself in ways that none of us understood.” Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him to Lakeside—an all-boys’ school for exceptional students. It was Seattle’s most exclusive school and was noted for its rigorous academic demands.” Lakeside allowed students to pursue their own interests, to whatever extent they wished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential. It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.
