第 56 题 What does the phrase "from various comers of this country" probably mean？
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment(环境) in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better.
As part of nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country's best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of artistic works in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms:
These recent movements first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience(观众).
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000' visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patient's waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist. Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors ,playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
Some best artists of Britain have been called in to ______.
A．set up new hospitals
B．clean the comers of hospitals
C．bring art into hospitals
D．help patients recover from serious illness
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？
A．The term "averted vision" refers to the act of looking out of the comers of one's eyes.
B．If you want to see very faint things, you should better look sideways rather than straight on.
C．The receptors located in the eye's center are less sensitive to dim light.
D．To "look" is to see something straight ahead.
Bonita Carol, correspondent: Newsman Dan Rather does not own danrather, com. David Letterman has nothing to do with davidletterman. com. And log on to barby's playpen, corn, and you'll find anything but a child's doll. As celebrities and businesses have found out, if you don't buy and control your own domain name on the Internet, chances are someone else will. Mikki Barry, Domain Name Rights Coalition: Protecting one's name is an interesting concept on the Internet because it's completely different from any kind of physical medium.
Bonita Carol: It's a concept that what Federal government felt was so important that it sanctioned a few businesses to officially start selling names. Getting your own domain name is easy. It can take as little as five minutes. Just log on to one of the many registration sites like industrial leader networksolution.com, and put your desired Web name, and if it's not taken, punch in your credit card number and it's yours. The cost is $ 70 for the first-two-year commitment, and $ 35 for each additional year. Network Solutions' CFO Robert Korzeniewsky says the number of domain names it sells is exploding.
Robert Korzeniewsky, Network Solutions: In the second quarter alone we had 1.2 million new registrations, so new registration growth we've seen you know, grows by more than triple digits.
Bonita Carol: The fast growth is making it difficult for late comers to buy into the name game. Chances are if you want a common name like books, corn or Johnsmith.com, it's already taken. This means you're gonna have to get more creative and maybe even change the name of your business to match the available domain name. Since names are selling out so fast, the resell market is skyrocketing. Hundreds of names are up for auction on sites like Ebay and Amazon. And some companies are making a lot of money by buying and selling names just like real estate.
Jeff Tinsley, GreatDomains.com: Licensed real estate brokers overlook every transaction and the transfer procedures are very similar to a typical property transaction including the contracts that are used and the opening of escrow.
Bonita Carol: GreatDomains.com, the leading reseller of domain names, recently managed to sell a drugs, com. The domain name bought five years ago for $ 70 sold in August for over $800, 000 to a technology company Link Exchange. Since no one regulates who can own what name, many people are running into problems. For example, the 12-year owner of pokey, org was recently accused of trademark infringement by the manufacturer of Gumby and Pokey action figures, even though the site never mentioned the clay animation characters. And the owner of Veronica. org, who used the site to display pictures of his new baby named Veronica, was told to stop by the maker of Archie Comics.
Mikki Barry: In both of those cases the owner of the domain name went to the Internet, and the outroar from everyone was just incredible. Both large companies backed down.
Bonita Carol: But not everyone is so lucky. A nursery school teacher who owned Rugrats.com as a tribute to her students' pet rats was court-ordered to turn the Web site over to Via. com, owner of a highly popular Rug Rats cartoon series. Most of the time the domain name holder, especially if it is a small business, doesn't have access to legal counsel, and doesn't have the funds that are necessary to fight this type of thing. So they will cave in and give the domain name to the trademark holder. As competition grows, it may be that the person or business with the quickest mouse-click wins the domain name game.

A．George W. Bush.
B．Kelsey Grammar.
C．Bonita Card.

The early comers get the best locations and enjoy a picnic supper while it is still daylight. The flee seating is on a first come basis. Therefore, by the time the concert begins, as many as five thousand or more people may be in attendance. The concerts usually begin at 8 p.m. and are performed under the stars. The sound is made sufficiently loud so that no matter where one chooses to sit, he can hear very well. The only disturbance may be the sound of an overhead airplane on its final approach to an airport or the far-off siren (警笛声) of an ambulance on its way to the hospital. This matters little!

Although there had been various small cameras developed, it was not until George Eastman introduced the Kodak in 1888 that the mass appeal of photography attracted America and Europe and thereafter spread quickly to the far comers of the earth. Eastman called his new famous camera the Kodak for no particular reason except that he liked the word. It was easy to remember and could be pronounced in any language.
An immediate consequence of Eastman' s invention was a blizzard of amateur photographs that soon became known as snapshots. The word came from hunters' jargon. When a hunter fired a gun from the hip, without taking careful aim, it was described as a snapshot. Photographers referred to the process of taking pictures as shooting, and they would take pride in a good day' s shoot the way country gentlemen would boast about the number of birds brought down in an afternoon.
Photography became not only easy but fun because of the Kodak. Almost overnight photography became one of the world' s most popular hobbies. A new and universal folk art was born ; the showing of one' s latest pictures and the creation of family albums became popular social pastimes.Camera clubs and associations numbered their members in the millions. One ardent amateur was the French novelist Emile Zola, who took a lot of photographs of his family, friends, and travels. Interviewed about his favorite hobby in 1900, he observed, "I think you cannot say you have thoroughly seen anything until you have got a photograph of it. "
"The little black box," as the Kodak was affectionately dubbed, revolutionized the way people communicated. "A picture is worth a thousand words" was the claim and there were literally billions of pictures. In one year alone -- 1988, the centenary of the invention of the Kodak -- it is estimated that almost thirty billion were taken in America alone. The impact of the sale of photographic equipment on the economy is equally mind-boggling.
Photography has played an essential role in the media revolution. It has greatly enhanced our ability to convey information, so that the concept of the global village has become a commonplace. Photographs have greatly extended our understanding of and compassion for our fellow human beings.
Did Mr. Eastman have the faintest idea of the power residing in his "little black box" ？
第 36 题 What was the underlying significance of the invention of the Kodak？
A．It made the work of professionals more enjoyable.
B．It made picture-taking suddenly popular among ordinary people.
C．It marked the beginning of manufacturing small cameras.
D．It met the need of photographers in America and Europe.
