a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years,
pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic
(电磁) interference (干扰). The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but
increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable
computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that
all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight,
particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban
during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual
airlines. And although some airlines prohibit (禁止) passengers from using such equipment
during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many
passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is prediction how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft"s
computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths
which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able
to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the
interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk
that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying,
though, is the passenger who can"t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the
music is too loud.
B. a possible cause for air flight accidents
C. the defects (缺点) of electronic devices
D. a new regulation for all airlines
B. They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.
C. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
D. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers" portable computers.
devices because _____.
B. they don"t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
C. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
D. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players
airplane"s computers?
B. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
C. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to e interfered with.
D. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.
B. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference
C. thinks it is unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight
D. is in favor of prohibiting passengers" use of electronic devices completely

a bank account from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as
distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection. With
almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they need to
be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.
The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,
even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships, job and
family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from
a partner, in other words, an "escape fund".
Margaret"s story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of
women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings. Every
month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her
husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest
egg worth an incredible $100,000. Margaret says if her husband found about her secret
savings he"d be hurt and would take this as a sign that she wasn"t sure of the marriage.
"He"d think it was my escape fund so that financially I could afford to get out of the
relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and
I hope ours is, but you can never be sure." Like many of her fellow secret savers,
Margaret was hurt in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own
money.
Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Taken
Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to
her partner. "I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a
rainy day."
B. days are getting harder and harder
C. women are money sensitive
D. financial conflicts often occur
B. secure
C. wise
D. simple
B. She was once divorced.
C. She is going to retire.
D. She has many children.
B. privacy within marriage should be respected
C. everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriage
D. financial disclosure is not necessarily bad
B. Love Is What It"s Worth
C. Banking Honesty
D. Once Bitten, Twice Shy 65.
elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown
once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for
closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.
For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United
States. He"s a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.
"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang
Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo,
another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation,"
she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."
China"s President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying
he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.
Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid
contentious issues such as Taiwan"s independence, human rights and Tibet.
Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic
crisis, and to help China"s slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.
But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University"s Professor of
International Studies, Shi Yinhong.
He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist
measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that
we have not seen ever before."
Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the
U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the
China his predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say
it"s a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.

to eat. Officials say 100 million more could go hungry this year because of the food and
financial crises.
To deal with the situation, the UN World Food Program has started a project to help
small farmers. These farmers are mainly women. Many cannot produce enough food even
to feed and support their own families.
The new effort is called Purchase for Progress, or P4P. It aims to connect local farmers
with dependable markets. That way, they could get a chance to sell their surplus (剩余) at
competitive prices. P4P will be tested in as many as 21 countries during the next five years.
The biggest contributor to the project is Bill Gates, through the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation. Another donor (捐款者) is the Howard Buffett Foundation, led by a son of the
American investor Warren Buffett. The government of Belgium is also supporting the project
in a former colony (殖民地), now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Together these donors have provided more than 76 million dollars for projects in Africa and
Central America.
Purchase for Progress will work with United Nations agencies, governments and non-
governmental organizations to help increase crop production. The World Bank Group and other
partners are to help train farmers in better crop management and marketing skills.
The World Food Program says it expects to buy 40,000 tons of food in the first year using
methods carried out by the project. That will be enough to feed 250,000 people.
P4P is expected to develop food cooperatives and long-term agreements for buying corn,
wheat and other food crops. About 350,000 farmers could be assisted.
Officials say the project will change the way the World Food Program buys food in developing
countries. Executive Director Josette Sheeran says this is the first time her agency will buy a large
amount of food from small farmers. The agency has traditionally bought most of its food from
developing countries,but through larger trading organizations.
B. a project has been started to help women farmers
C. there are only two donors to help the project
D. some farmers still cannot support their families
B. the combined efforts
C. some governments
D. some non-governmental organizations
B. To reform the way of food purchase.
C. To provide them with food.
D. To buy a large amount of food from them.
B. Contribution to Small Farmers
C. Food Problems
D. P4P Is Being Carried Out
on Christmas Day. My tree will be beautifully decorated, I"m bringing the turkey to the family Christmas lunch
and having an open house on Boxing Day. And the whole thing"s only going to cost me ￡150.
We"re very careful now and we don"t overspend or owe anything on credit cards. I work for an electrician
and my husband Neil, 33, works in construction business. We"re concerned about our jobs because our
companies are quiet at the moment.
We"ve also been hit by rising prices, particularly food, petrol, gas and electricity. Everyone I know is
worried. One of my friends" husbands has just gone self-employed and if he doesn"t work, they have no money
coming in.
Christmas has been playing on my mind for the past three or four months. We decided on a budget of ￡150
because that"s just under my weekly wage and it meant we could afford Christmas while using Neil"s salary for
our essential bills.
We quickly realized that we buy some things every year just for the sake of it. Even though we have loads
of decorations, we usually buy something new for the tree but this Christmas we"re not going to. We"ve already
got our tree-a big artificial one which I bought half-price in the January sales. It will last us for years.
