NASA is launching its latest spacecraft this week, the Parker Solar Probe(
探
测器
). The robotic craft will fly closer to the Sun than any man-made object has
ever been before, sending back invaluable new
data on the star’s properties(特
性
) and atmospheric conditions over a seven-year period. The project is named in
honour
of American physicist Eugene
Parker who first put forward
the theory on the
nature of solar winds in 1958.
The probe will be attached to a rocket and sent into space from Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station in Florida on the morning of Saturday 11 August. The rocket is
second only to spaceX’s Falcon Heavy in terms of power. It will travel at a speed
of 125 miles a second on the way, making it one of the fastest ever built. It is
nd
scheduled
to
use
the
gravity
of
Venus
on
October
2

this
year
—
slowing
its
approach
and
allowing
greater
control
—
and
hit
the
first
perihelion
(the
point
in
its
orbit
th
when it is closest to the Sun) by November 5
. On arrival, the Parker Solar Probe
will orbit around the Sun 24 times until late 2025, each complete orbit taking 88
days, passing at a distance of 3.83 million miles from the Sun’s surface on its
closest approach.
Specifically, the project is intended to
gather new information on “space
weather”
conditions
that
influence
the
earth,
what
causes
solar
winds
to
accelerate
and
behave
as
they
do
and
what
causes
the
huge
eruptions
astronomers
have
observed.
“We don’t have a strong understanding of the mechanism
s that drive that wind
towards
us,
and
that’s
what
we’re
heading
out
to
discover,”
said
project
scientist
Dr. Nicky Fox of the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.

Heart
attacks
can
affect
anyone,
but
are
especially
threatening
for
women.
Not
only
do
the
symptoms
appear
differently
in
women,
but
a
new
study
suggests
the
gender
of the medical provider who treats a woman having a heart attack may mean the
difference between life and death.
Research published this week found that a woman is more likely to survive a
heart attack if she receives care from a female emergency room doctor. The study
was based on 582,000 patients in Florida hospitals from 1991 to 2010. Alarmingly,
the
study
showed
that
women
patients
were
less
likely
to
survive
heart
attacks
than
male
patients,
and
that
the
largest
gap
in
survival
rates
between
genders
occurred
under male doctors.
Among
heart
attack
patients
treated
by
women
doctors,
11.8
percent
of
men
died
compared with 12 percent of women---a relatively small disparity. But the gap was
larger
for
heart
attack
patients
under
the
care
of
male
doctors.
In
that
group,
12.6
percent
of
men
died
and
13.3
percent
of
women
died.
The
data
took
into
account
factors
such as race, age and medical history.
The
finding
“suggest
that
having
training
programs
that
are
more
gender-neutral, or showing how men and women might present symptoms differently,
could improve outcomes for female patients,” Seth Carnahan, one of the study’s
authors, said in a statement.
One
of
the
main
factors
affecting
the
quality
of
care
that
women
patients
receive
is communication with their doctors, according to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a fellow
of
the
American
Heart
Association.
“What
I
tell
all
women
is
that
they
need
to
really
understand
that
how
they
communicate
is
the
most
important
thing,”
said
Steinbaum.
“If
they
believe
that
they’re
having
a
heart
issue
or
are
unsure
of
what’s
going
on, it becomes important for them to say ‘I think it might be my heart,’ because
then the doctor will look for problem with it.”

Effective communication is a vital part of receiving quality treatment, but
the study a
lso highlights a need for doctors to change the way they treat women’s
medical symptoms. Research shows many doctors really don’t take women’s pain
seriously.
8. After analyzing data from 582,000 patients, what did the researchers find?
A. female doctors knew about heart attacks better.
B. women patients preferred to be treated by female doctors.
C. women were better at working as emergency room doctors.
D. female doctors could help women heart attack victims better.
9. What does the underlined word “disparity” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. comparison B. difference C. disagreement D. increase
ing to Seth Carnahan, what do the findings of the study suggest?
A. more female doctors should be employed.
B. the medical history of patients should be referred to.
C. male doctors should receive more training than female ones.
D. training programs on heart attack treatment should be improved.

For the latter part of the 1900s, most alcohol advertising on TV was banned.
During
this
time,
the
number
of
minors(
未成年人
)
drinking
alcohol
declined.
Several
years
ago
the
ban
was
lifted
and
alcohol
ads
returned
to
television.
Since
then
the
number of minors drinking alcohol has grown.
A study conducted by the University of California Berkley shows that alcohol
ads increase the
abuse of alcohol, positive attitudes to it,
and consumption of
it
in minors. Congressman Wolfe from Virginia also finds that alcohol advertising
increases drunk driving and alcohol abuse in under-age individuals. A survey
completed
in
California
and
South
Dakota
schools
finds
that
teens
that
are
frequently
exposed to alcohol advertising often begin consuming it in the next year or so.
Adolescence
is
a
time
of
brain
development
when
anything
that
provides
a
thrill,
like alcohol, is an attraction. And minors drink alcohol mainly to be like their
friends. From a very early age, children want to fit in. Other than socializing,
some
doing
that
just
try
to
cope
with
problems
or
stress.
However,
drinking
alcohol
will
bring
about
many
problems.
Getting
rid
of
these
ads
would
lessen
the
under-age
individuals’ urges to consume or abuse alcohol.

The
companies
who
produce
the
ads
say
they
target
audiences
well
into
adulthood
by
using
older
actors.
They
call
it
“Responsible
Advertising”
.
The
truth
is
that
these companies well know that their ads are played in front of minors. They even
try
to
appeal
to
teens
by
using
music,
animals,
and
humor
which
according
to
several
studies
are
all
the
things
that
under-age
individuals
respond
to
in
an
advertisement.
Do these companies really believe that simply s
tating “consume responsibly” and
showing no visible consumption of alcohol really cover their actual intentions?
After all these studies and surveys are taken into account, one conclusion is
clear:
the
companies
who
make
the
ads
know
very
well
that
they
are
supporting
underage
drinking
and
alcohol
abuse.
People
can
stand
up
against
these
companies
by
addressing
Congress
to
take
action
and
re-ban
these
ads.
If
enough
people
voice
their
concerns,
they can do just that.
12. The author mentioned the findings in the second Paragraph___________.
A. to show alcohol ads’ negative effects on minors.

B. to tell us the danger of minors’drunk driving.

C. to tell us the harm of minors’drinking alcohol.

D. To show the Congressman’s attitude towards minor’s consuming
alcohol.
13. According to the third paragraph, we know__________________.
A. the reason why alcohol ads attract minors
B. the reason why minors tend to drink alcohol
C. the way that alcohol affects minor’s life

D. the way that minors handle problems with alcohol
