单项选择题

Passage Two An abandoned airfield near a former Nazi concentration tramp may soon feature pagodas and Tai Chi parks. A $700 million project aims to give Germany its own Chinatown 22 miles north of Berlin in the town of Oranienburg, housing 2,000 residents by 2010. The investor group behind the scheme hopes the new Chinatown will attract tourists and business to rival the famed Chinatowns of San Francisco and New York by delivering an "authentic Chinese experience." "You’ll be able to experience China, go out for a Chinese meal,and buy Chinese goods," says Stefan Kunigam, managing director of Bandenburg-China-Project-Management GmbH. The project has attracted investors in both Germany and China, reports Christoph Lang of Berlin’s Trade and Industry promotion Office. "Chinese investors have already asked if we have a Chinatown here." He says. "The cultural environment is very important for them. You cannot build a synthetic Chinatown." Germany is home to about 72,000 Chinese migrants (2002 Federal Statistical Office figures), but the country has not had a Chinatown since the early 1930s in Hamburg, when most of the city’s 2,000 Chinese residents fled or were arrested by the Nazis. German’s more-recent history with anti-foreigner extremism remains a problem even within the government, reports Deutsche Welle (DW), Germany’s international broadcaster. DW notes that National Democratic Party lawmaker Holger Apfel’s xenophobic ( 恐外的) comments about "state-subsidized Oriental mega-families" at first went largely uncriticized. "Every fourth German harbors anti-foreigner sentiments," DW quotes Miriam Gruss, a Free Democratic Party parliamentarian. "Right-wing extremism is clearly rooted in the middle of society. It’s not a minor phenomenon." The German government initiated a special youth for Democracy and Tolerance program in January 2007 as part of its tolerance-building efforts. While it is not clear how many Chinese migrants will ultimately settle in the new German Chinatown, developers hope the project will increase Germans’ understanding for China and Chinese culture. The message from the plan is clear:

A.to build a new community
B.to fight against right-wing extremism
C.to promote more cultural understanding
D.to increase Chinese’s understanding of Germany

问答题
电脑、网络与健康电脑已经成为人们生活和工作不可缺少的工具, 它在给人们带来诸多方便的同时, 也带来了一些烦恼和忧虑,因为人们长期从事电脑工作对健康的影响是比较直接的。电脑和网络使用不当危害健康一是对身体健康的直接影响。 电脑显示器利用电子枪发射电子束来产生图像, 并伴有辐射与电磁波,长期使用会伤害人们的眼睛,诱发一些眼病,如青光眼等;键盘上键位密集,键面一定的弹力和阻力, 长期击键会对手指和上肢不利; 操作电脑时, 体形和全身难得有变化,操作向着高速、单一、重复的特点发展,强迫体位比重越来越大,容易导致肌肉骨骼系统的疾患,其中,计算机操作时所累及的主要部位有腰、颈、肩、肘、腕部等。操作电脑过程中注意力高度集中,眼、手指快速频繁运动,使生理、心理过度重负,从而产生睡眠多梦、神经衰弱、头部酸胀、机体免疫力下降,甚至会诱发一些精神方面的疾病。这种人易丧失自信,内心时常紧张、烦躁、焦虑不安,最终导致身心疲惫。二是导致网络综合征。 长时间无节制地花费大量时间和精力在互联网上持续聊天、 浏览,会导致各种行为异常、 心理障碍、 人格障碍、 交感神经功能部分失调, 严重者发展成为网络综合征,该病症的典型表现为:情绪低落、兴趣丧失、睡眠障碍、生物钟紊乱、食欲下降和体重减轻、精力不足、精神运动性迟缓和激动、自我评价降低、思维迟缓、不愿意参加社会活动、很少关心他人、饮酒和滥用药物等。三是电脑散发的气体危害呼吸系统。 英国过敏症基金会的研究人员最近发表的一份研究报告指出,办公设备会释放有害人体健康的臭氧气体,而主要元凶是电脑、激光打印机等。这些臭氧气体不仅有毒, 而且可能造成某些人呼吸困难, 对于那些哮喘病和过敏症患者来说,情况就更为严重了。 另外, 较长时间待在臭氧气体浓度较高的地方, 还会导致肺部发生病变。怎样减少电脑网络的危害客观地说, 电脑对人体生理和心理方面的负面影响已日益受到人们的重视。 在电脑普及程度比较高的国家里, “电脑综合征”已成为很普遍的现代病。为此科学使用电脑,减少电脑和网络的危害是十分必要的。一是要增强自我保健意识。 如工作间隙注意适当休息, 一般来说, 电脑操作人员在连续工作 1 小时后应该休息 10 分钟左右。并且最好到操作室之外活动活动身体。平时要加强体育锻炼, 增强体能, 要定期进行身体检查和自我心理测定, 一旦发现生理、 心理上的有关症状,可在一段时间内适当调整上机时间,缓解症状。二是注意工作环境。 电脑室内光线要适宜, 不可过亮或过暗, 避免光线直接照射在荧光屏上而产生干扰光线, 工作室要保持通风干爽, 使那些有害气体尽快排出, 尽量用非击打式打印机减少噪音等等。三是注意补充营养。 电脑操作者在荧光屏前工作时间过长, 视网膜上的视紫红质会被消耗掉,而视紫红质主要由维生素 A 合成。因此,电脑操作者应多吃些胡萝卜、白菜、豆芽、豆腐、红枣、橘子以及牛奶、鸡蛋、动物肝脏、瘦肉等食物,以补充人体内维生素 A 和蛋白质。多饮些茶,茶叶中的茶多酚等活性物质会有利于吸收与抵抗放射性物质。
