32、have already affected our lifecame to realize the concept of public health crises, which in reality in various ways. Why didn't we recognize this until our life has been endangered? Surely, epidemicdiseases as a kind of public health crises, have contributed to people's perception of public

33、health crises.Public health itself is not new, but the term ” public health crises “has been fresh for most people in China. It includes not only outbreaks of diseases, but also water erosion, deforestation, desertification and many other problems which mankind as a whole must face. Ever since the i

34、ndustrial revolution and great economic expansion, people's life has been challenged in one way or another due to lots of irresponsible behaviors of mankind. Most of the time, people have accustomed to their ordinary way of life and do not spare time in comprehending the imminent crises.On the o

35、ther hand, epidemic outbreaks always take on a very severe outlook and thus pose direct dangers to common people. They affect people's daily activities and even their lives, and that is why they can successfully arouse people's concerns about their own health. To some extent, our awareness o

36、f our dining habits and carelessness in protecting the environment can be attributed to the outbreak of some epidemics, like SARS and bird flu.Weshould all be gratitude for this awareness brought about by some epidemics. As China and the world's economy continue to expand, governments and people

S. since 1990 have wed peo

41、ple who aren't Jewish. Nearly480, 000 Americanhildren under the age of ten have one Jewish and one non-Jewish parent. And, if a survey compiledby researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles is any indication, it's almost certain that m ost of these children will not identify t

42、hemselves as“Jewish ” when they get older.That survey asked college freshmen, who are usually around age 18, about their own and their parents' religious identities. Ninety-three percent of those with two Jewish parents said they thought of themselves as Jewish. But when the father wasn't Je

43、wish, the number dropped to 38 percent, and when the mother wasn't Jew, just 15 percent of the students said they were Jewish, too.“I think what was surprising was just how low the Jewish identification was in these mixed marriage families. ” Linda Sax is a professor of education at UCLA. She di

44、rected the survey which was conducted over the course of more than a decade and wasn't actually about religious identity specifically.But Professor Sax says the answers to questions about religion were particularly striking, and deserve a more detailed study. She says it's obvious that inter

45、faith marriage works against the development of Jewish identity among children, but says it's not clear at this point why that's the case. “This new study is necessary to get more in-depth about their feelings about their religion.That's somethingthat the study that I completed was not a

46、ble to do. Wedidn't have information on how they feel about their religion, whether they have any concern about their issues of identification, how comfortable they feel about their lifelong goals. I think the new study's going to cover some of that,” shesays.Jay Rubin is executive director

47、of Hilel, a national organization that works with Jewish college students. Mr. Rubin says Judaism is more than a religion, it's an experience. And with that in mind, Hillel has commissioned a study of Jewish attitudes towards Judaism. Researchers will concentrate primarily on young adults, and t

48、hose with two Jewish parents, and those with just one, those whosee themselves as Jewish and those who do not. Jay Rubin says Hillel will then use this study toformulate a strategy for making Judaism more relevant to the next generation of American Jews.51. The best title of this passage is.A. Jewis

49、h and Non-Jewish in AmericanB. Jewish Identity in AmericaC. Judaism-a Religion?D. College Jewish Students52.

51、ts is NOT true about professor Sax's research?A. The research indicates that most students with only one Jewish parent will not think themselvesas Jewish.B. The survey was carried out among Jewish Freshmen.C. The research survey didn't find out what and how these Jewish students think about

52、their religion.D. The research presents a new perspective for the future study.55. Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?A. Mr. Rubin is the founder of Hillel.B. Mr. Rubin thinks that Judaism is not a religion and it's an experience.C. Hillel is an organization concerned

53、 with Jewish college students in the world.D. Hillel has asked certain people to carry out a study about Jewish attitudes towards Judaism.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Governments that want their people to prosper in the burgeoning world economy should guarantee twobasic righ

54、ts: the right to private property and the right to enforceable contracts, says Mancur Olson in his book Power and Prosperity. Olson was an economics professor at the University of Maryland until his death in 1998.Some have argued that such rights are merely luxuries that wealthy societies bestow, bu

55、t Olson turns that argument around and asserts that such rights are essential to creating wealth.“I n comes arelow in most of the countries of the world, in short, because the people in those countries do nothave secure in dividual rights,” he says.Certain simple economic activities, such as food ga

56、thering and making handicrafts, rely mostly on individual labor; property is not necessary. But more advanced activities, such as the mass production of goods, require machines and factories and offices. This production is often called capital-intensive, but it is really property-intensive, Olson ob

57、serves.“No one would normally engage in capital -intensive production if he or she did not have rights that kept the valuable capital from being taken by bandits, whether roving or stationary,” he argues.“There is no private property without government individuals may have possessions, the way a dog

58、possesses a bone, but there is private property only if the society protects and defends a private right to that possession against other private parties and against the government as well.”Would-be entrepreneurs, no matter how small, also need a government and court system that will make sure people honor their contracts. In fact, the banking syste
