Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, 优质文档优质文档comfort and durability (耐用). T
18、hey are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or
19、picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let
20、 themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用 )? That is for you to decide.59.

24、 fashion优质文档优质文档CWhile football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy.
25、 The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new t
26、echnology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.“Weve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru,“ said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. “The technology has performed well, and were pretty optim
27、istic that it will be used at the games in G ermany next year.“The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the balls location to
28、 a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive
29、. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next years World Cup.63.

English kids discuss the Liverpools football team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A
34、Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City.As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Par
35、is, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,“ said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but Ill stay in London, she sa
36、id.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,“ she said.优质文档优质文档“Both cities have changed beyond recognition,“ said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both cities well
37、, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.“But certainly not cheaper.In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifesty
38、le choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they dont have to choose.“I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , “she said. “In London, you can be whoever

People in London enjoy a lawless life.ENow lets look ourselves as a species in relation to e cosystem balance.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evol
43、ved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of oth
44、er species in one important and unique way.In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding
45、 on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to
46、a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly in
