The Westinghouse Science Talent Search, the most prestigious high school science contest in the nation, was launched to identify young scientific talent, and it has been doing so with remarkable precision since 1941. Every year, approximately 1,700 students from around the country polish off projects they have been working on for as long as two years, and send in a report to the contest officials. Simply entering the contest is an impressive achievement for a high school junior. It means that the student has spent hundreds of hours probing a scientific question or testing a theory about which he has written a scientific paper of near-professional quality. The top 300 students become semifinals, and from this group, 40 are selected to bring their projects to Washington. Ten projects are then selected as the best in the final round of judging. The 40 finalists get at least ＄1,000 for their effort, and the, top student receives a ＄ 40,000 scholarship. Most of the winners, from semifinals up, are guaranteed admission to the college of their choice.

From the very start, this contest was different from traditional science fairs. Its goal was not simply to choose the best project but to locate the best potential scientists. The distinction is an important one. The contest has a number of features that test the mettle of the students as well as the projects. It endeavors to explore the nimbleness and originality of the minds behind the projects, rather than just rewarding the boldness of the experiment. The contest's underlying philosophy is that students discover their scientific talents by working on science, not by listening to lectures in a classroom.

The Westinghouse Science Talent Search is ______.

A．a professional science contest for American high school students

B．a conventional American science contest

C．a respected high school science contest in the U. S.

D．a science fair exclusively for high school juniors

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Unfortunately sales results over the last year have failed to come up to our expectations. A number of factors have been responsible, but basically it is the result of too many companies chasing the microcomputer market which is no longer expanding as fast as it once was.

Looking at the past year in detail, it must be admitted that the sales have declined considerably over the period. Our market share in wholesales has dropped from 21% to only 10%. The lack of a good local distributor in Asia has meant that our sales of the Obec series have collapsed despite the huge jump in the microcomputer market there during the past year. Our dominance of that part of the market has been lost to Strong, but once we find a new distributor we should come back strongly.

Retail sales in general have been a problem. There has been a tendency for the big high street stores to concentrate on high volume turnover of a few fairly well-known makers. When they stopped promotion of the Obec 1500, sales slumped by 50%. We are negotiating a fresh marketing deal for the new Obec 1600. Once this is settled we expect a gradual rise in sales, which will be followed by a big TV advertising campaign at the appropriate time. What we are facing now is that we have not been able to push the Obec 1500 as much as we would have liked because of insufficient advertising.

Most of our advertising budget went on the promotion of the Obec Extra before last Christmas. Unfortunately we have failed consistently to find the proper marketing strategy for the Extra, which has not been sold to either the leisure or the business market.

The serious business market has performed worse than any other in the period under review. The main factor was the introduction of the new Legend 586 Plus, when sales reduced over a period of several months. With this background it is natural that sales of the Obec 1000 and 2000 have gone into a slide. They showed a slight upturn just after the introduction of the 586 Plus, only to crash again a few weeks later.

What purpose does this passage possibly serve?

A．A company introduction to its employees.

B．A market analysis for a specific industry to inform. a client.

C．An annual report of a company to direct its future decision.

D．A marketing strategy proposal for discussion.

Children who watch violent television shows are at an increased risk of aggression and violent behavior. as they become young adults. That's based on a fifteen-year study published in the current issue of the research journal Developmental Psychology.

Back in the late 1970's when this study began, among the top rated shows were 'Chafiie's Angels' and 'The Six Million Dollar Man'. These were the TV shows that many of the 557 children in Raul Huseman's study were watching when they were six to ten years old. By today's standards these shows may not seem that violent, but there was a significant amount of on-screen physical violence in them. Huseman, from the University of Michigan, analyzed the types and amounts of violence in these shows and also collected other information on the kids about their home life, their friends, their school life, and importantly their levels of aggressive behavior, tike who was getting into fights, who was pushing and shoving (猛推) others, who was stealing things.

Now fast-forward 15 years: Raul Huseman was able to track down over 80% of the boys and girls from the original study. He re-interviewed them, now in their mid-twenties, and talked to their spouses (配偶) and close friends and checked their criminal records. "We found that those children back then, when they were 6, 7, 8 or 8, 9, 10, who had been watching more media violence had grown up to be more aggressive young adults as compared to the young adults who had been just as aggressive in childhood but had not watched as much violent television."

"Most at-risk children are children who watch a steady diet of violent television shows, identify with the aggressors, who sometimes the heroes and the lead-characters in those shows, and who perceive the violence as being realistic and a model for how to act in real life."

The conclusion of the fifteen-year study is that ______.

A．children born in the 1970s would display more violent behavior. than other children

B．children who like to push and shove others when fighting would develop violent behavior. quickly

C．young adults are the group of people who are most influenced by violent TV

D．young people who watched violent TV shows in childhood tend to become aggressive

Bombay wasn't the ideal place to get sick -- not when my doctor, family' and friends were half a world away. I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, l had shelled out (支付) for travel insurance. So my illness didn't cost me a cent.

It's actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you're traveling. Make sure you're prepared for all of them.

A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province -- at the insurance company's expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you're sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for k. You may even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.

When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.

Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice -- you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can't make any changes. You're about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket -- unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.

Most travel plans include some form. of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort, That non-refundable portion is what you'll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don't have cancellation insurance.

What happened to the author when he was in Bombay?

A．He fell ill and couldn't go home as scheduled.

B．He didn't buy travel insurance.

C．He spent a lot of money on curing his illness.

D．He couldn't get in touch with his family and friends.
