US scientists have fixed experimental sensors (传感器) in some cities to map wind patterns and provide possible lifesaving information in a chemical or biological attack.
Two test models, in the form of nine-meter high aluminum (铝) towers, are now undergoing testing in New York City, one in Greenwich Village and the other near Times Square.
Half a dozen similar sensors have been fixed in and around Washington.
Simulations (模仿) of terrorist attacks carried out since the Sep. 11,2001 attacks have stressed the importance of finding out as soon as possible those areas that would be most affected by giving out poisonous gas or radioactive material into the air.
Now, the only reliable sources of information on wind speeds and direction are major airports, which are generally located too far away from city centers to be of much use.
The experimental sensors measure wind strength and direction 10 times per second. The information is downloaded through the Internet to computers that can turn out a detailed wind map, updated every 15 minutes.
Addressing a recent House of Representatives committee meeting, the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA's) \Resources\laboratory, Bruce Hicks, stressed the importance of developing the wind mapping program.
\sensors now being tested were produced by scientists recognizing there's a real problem and we'd better start handling it fast or else we'll get into trouble.\
Funds (资金) during the testing period had been provided by the new Department for Homeland Security which will decide whether to fix sensor networks in major US cities, if the experiment should have positive results.
72. The purpose of developing the wind mapping program is to _____. A. get lifesaving information during terrorist attacks B. get useful information about weather changes C. map the speed and direction of the wind D. prevent possible terrorist attacks
73. According to the text, the information from major airports is _____. A. slowly downloaded
B. not quite reliable
C. quickly updated D. not very useful
74. From the text, we can learn that the wind mapping program _____. A. has been put into practical use B. is being experimented
C. is just an idea under discussion D. has finally failed for lack of money 75. What is the text mainly about?
A. Scientists' mapping wind to sense terrorist attacks. B. Whether wind mapping program is useful or not. C. How the wind mapping program works. D. The importance of wind mapping program.

The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don't like and yes to the things we do, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won't say yes to the things we do not like, because we fear that we will not remove them forever.
But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence of what's not working for us that we can begin the process of change. When we say yes to the world, we enter into a state of trust that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don't like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is definitely good for our life.
The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take for us to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can't escape or refuse, and so we are left with no choice but to say yes. For others, it just seems a natural process of events that leads us to make the decision to say yes to life. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to every moment through the process, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive talk to the world with a very powerful word—yes. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.

Nowadays a lot of schools keep their students in school all day long. Students have different opinions about it.
Some of the students think they enjoy less freedom and have little chance to get in touch with society. They are not able to fully develop their interests and hobbies,. Therefore, they have less interest in their studies.
Some others think school is the best place to get knowledge so they should put their heart into their lessons. Some students lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something that will influence/affect their studies.
Personally, it is necessary to keep students at school. But at the same time schools should organize various activities so that students can enjoy their school life. (I don’t agree to keep students at school all day. Schools should offer students more free time to develop their personal interests.
