Olsen, 60 – year – old, attended training again in May at a base just outside Moscow for the flight on a Russian – built Soyuz spaceship. He said Wednesday that the contract (合同) had been signed. “I’m feeling great and hopeful that I will launch (fly into space) this fall,” Olsen wrote in an e – mail exchange with an Associated Press reporter. “Training has been very intense, but enjoyable.”

According to Olsen, the crew for his flight has not been officially announced, but he has worked with two other crew members in the Soyuz simulator over the past week. Olsen also said he ran almost every morning. “This training has given me tremendous (powerful) admiration for astronauts who have spent years doing this and know so much more than I.” Olsen wrote. His trip, originally scheduled for this April, had been on hold last summer because doctors in Russia found an undisclosed health problem during a physical exam. That ailment (an illness that is not very serious) was never found, but this past May the Russian space program gave Olsen medical clearance. Marshall Cohen, president and co – founder of Olsen’s company, said in May that Olsen’s U. S. doctors reported that he had no health problems.

Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor（接任者）to Lawrence Summers .
The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, as the university’s 28th president.
“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard,” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. “Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated  teacher, and a wonderful human being.”
Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers’ comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.
Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women’s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues.
Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, law, literature and economics.

Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.

閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從36—55各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上涂黑。



As a physician who travels quite a lot, I
spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on
board?” announcement. I’ve been  36 only once-for a woman who
had merely fainted. But the   37 made me quite curious
about how  38 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I
would do if  39 with a real mid-air medical emergency-without
access  40 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So
  41 the New England Journal of Medicine last week   42 a
study about in-flight medical events, I   43 it with
interest.



The study estimated that there are a(n) 
44 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most
of them are not   45 ; fainting and dizziness are the
most frequent complaints.  46 13% of them-roughly four a
day-are serious enough to   47 a pilot to change course. The
most common of the serious emergencies   48 heart trouble,
strokes, and  difficult breathing.



Let’s face it: plane rides are   49 .
For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly   50 they
would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can
tolerate these pressures pretty   51 , but passengers
with heart disease   52 experience chest pains as a
result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 
53 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis（血栓）-the so-called economy class
syndrome（綜合癥）. 
54 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight
emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation（立法）, flights with at   55 one
attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart
attacks.
