The Oniy Way Is Up
Think of a modem city and the first image that comes to mind is the skyline.It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven.It is true that some cities don't permit buildings to go above a certain height.But these are cities concerned with the past.The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.
When people gather together in cities,they create a demand for land.Since cities are places where money is made,that demand can be met.And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground.That means building upwards.
The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century.But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor.They had to be small enough for people on the top floors to climb stairs.People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work,or home.
Elisha Otis,a US inventor,was the man who brought us the lift-or elevator,as he preferred to call it.
However,most of the technologyis very old.Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids.What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken.It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention.In fact,he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds,giving people the chance to try them out before selling the idea to architects and builders.
A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now.Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring.Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior find lifts fascinating.The reason is simple.Scientists have always studied animals in zoos.The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts.
"It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us-and you just can't choose to move away,"says workplace psychologist,Gary Fitzgibbon."Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions,"he says.Some people are scared of them.Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss.Some stand close to the door.Others hide in the corners.Most peo- ple try and shrink into the background.But some behave in a way that makes others notice them.There are a few people who just stand in a corner taking notes.
Don't worry about them.They are probably from a university.

How We Form First Impression
1 We all have first impression of someone we just met.But why?Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her-aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.
2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits,even very minor difference in how a person's eyes,ears,nose,or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different.In fact,your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information-the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming"signals"are compared against a host of"memories"stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals"mean".
3 if you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says"familiar and safe".If you see someone new,it says,"new-potentially threatening".Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other "known" memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,gestures,and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics are,the more your brain may say,"This is new.I don't like this person".Or else, "I'm intrigued".Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures-like your other Friends;so your brain says,"I like this person".But these preliminary"impressions"can be dead wrong.
4 When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history,interest,values,strengths,and true character-we categorize them as jocks,geeks,or freaks.
5 However,if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes,dreams,and become aware of the person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow us to be humane.

Preserving Nature for Future
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 countries are members,have shown that 45 percent of reptile（爬行类的）species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr.Peter Baum,an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council,when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks,and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today.But Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environment needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
"No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,"he went on.The short-sighted（眼光短浅的）view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
"We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems,on which any built-up area ultimately depends," Dr.Baum went on," we could manage without most industrial products,but we could not manage without nature.However,our natural environment areas,which are the original parts of our countryside,have shrunk to become mere（纯粹的）islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."

Medical Journals
Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals.in the past,these journals were available only in print.With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have Web sites on the Internet,and some journals are published only online.A few medical journals,like the Journal of the American Medical Association,are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine.Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine.
Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments.Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature.
Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors,combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing,diagnosing or treating a particular disease.Case conferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat them.Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors,often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue.Editorials provide a perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic.Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments,questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.

The Greatest Show on Earth
The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Every four years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport.As many as 6,000 people take part in over twenty sports.For the winners,there are gold medals and glory.But there is honor,too,for all
who compete,win or lose.That is the spirit of the Olympics-to take part is what matters.
The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held-the host country-marches in last.
The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.
The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport-riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.
More and more women are taking part in the Games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics.Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women.Now,they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports.In horse riding,shooting,and boat racing,they may compete in the same events as the men.

The World's Longest Bridge
Rumor has it that a legendaiy six-headed monster lurks in the deep waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy arid the island of Sicily.______(46)When completed in 2010,the world's longest bridge will weigh nearly 300,000 tons-equivalent to the iceberg that sank the Titanic-and stretch 5 kilometers long."Tha.t's nearly 50 percent longer than any other bridge ever built."says structural engineer Shane Rixon.
_______(47)They're suspension bridges,massive structures built to span vast water channels or gorges.A suspension bridge needs just two towers to shoulder the structure's mammoth weight,thanks to hefty supporting cables slung between the towers and anchored firmly in deep pools of cement at each end of the bridge.The Messina Strait Bridge will have two 54,100-ton towers,which will support most of the bridge's load.The beefy cables of the bridge,each 1.2 meter in diameter,will hold up the longest and widest bridge deck ever built.
When construction begins on the Messina Strait Bridge in 2005,the first job will be to erect two 370 meter-tail steel towers.______(48)Getting these cables up will be something.It's not just their length-totally 5.3 kilorneters-but their weight.______(49)
After lowering vertical"suspender"cables from the main cables,builders will erect a 60 meter-wide 54,630-ton steel roadway,or deck-wide enough to accommodate 12 lanes of traffic.The deck's weight will pull down on the cables with a force of 70 ,500 tons.In return,the cables yank up against their firmly rooted anchors with a force of 139,000 tons-equivalent to the weight of about 100,000 cars.Those anchors are essential._______(50)
