It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on by way of the group’s online service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安樂死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed (診斷) as Terminally Ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
小題1: Which of the following has the similar meaning to “But the tide is unlikely to turn back.”?
A．What happened in Australia can change world history.
B．It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law.
C．Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients.
D．That the Law has been passed probably can’t be changed.
小題2: From the second paragraph we learn that __________.
A．the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries
B．physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia
C．changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law
D．it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage
小題3:By saying “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling”, the author means __________.
A．observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia
B．similar bills are likely to be passed in the U.S., Canada and other countries
C．observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
D．the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop
小題4: We can learn from the passage that Lloyd Nickson __________.
A．will face his death with calm when dying
B．experiences a lot the suffering of a lung cancer
C．has an intense fear of terrible suffering
D．undergoes a cooling off period of seven days
小題5: The author’s attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of __________.
A．oppositionB．doubtC．a(chǎn)pprovalD．a(chǎn)nxiety

Welcome to Banff, Canada’s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you’ve come to ski or snowboard, we’ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too.
While you’re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland（but not in the national park）.
We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.
True ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition Works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.
Banff’s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—cross country skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized tour. Although we’ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth visiting.
Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.
See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb to a high place and admire the view.

All it took was a slice of Xinjiang cake to spark heated debates online over China's policy on ethnic minorities (少數(shù)民族) .
Since Monday, qiegao (cut cake) has been a trending topic on Sina Weibo, China’s main Twitter-like microblogging service.
The cake was a reference to Xinjiang’s famed nut cake, sometimes known by its old Turkic name baklava, a popular pastry across Central Asia and the Middle East. In Xinjiang, they are sold by Uygur vendors on tricycles who are known to charge dubious prices depending on the time and season.
The ethnic flare-up started after the Yueyang police from Hunan province posted a message on their official Weibo account. It reported a dispute in Pingjiang county over an overpriced piece of nut cake between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a villager named "Ling".
Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding. The verbal dispute eventually escalated into a fight and then a mass fight. As a result, two people were injured and Xinjiang nut cakes worth about 160,000 yuan (US$25,000) were destroyed. The total damage was worth 200,000 yuan which included a broken motorcycle and injuries to people. Local police have detained Ling. The 16 Uygur sellers were dully compensated and sent back to Xinjiang.
"Yueyang police incident" quickly became one of the most popular topics on Weibo. Yueyang police removed the post shortly after. As of Tuesday night, the topic was still amassing more than 66,000 hits. 
The incident is just one of many similar cases of ethnic tensions across China, notably in Xinjiang province, where deeply entrenched social and racial frictions between the dominant ethnic Han Chinese and minority Uygur Muslims occasionally spark violence. Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists.
小題1:Which of the following is true?
A．The dispute is between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a policeman.
B．Nut cake is a popular pastry across East Asia and the Middle East.
C．The prices of Baklava will change according to the time and season.
D．The demand of the 16 Uygur sellers were refused and they were sent back to Xinjiang.
小題2:How much did the broken motorcycle cost？
A．160,000 yuan B．200,000 yuan C．40,000yuan D．We don’t know
小題3:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．World's most expensive baklava
B．Ethnic tensions across China
C．Pay attention to the Uygurs
D．Misunderstanding caused a fight
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．Yueyang police are afraid of the Xinjiang Uygur vendor
B．It’s not the only ethnic tension across China,
C．Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists.
D．Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding.
