In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.
On Dec.11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification.In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests.But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America.Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail(訛詐)by terrorists.
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent.“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept.11, then you’re disposable.They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.
If Sept.11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely.Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid.Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驅(qū)逐出境).Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled.While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s.
How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?
A.Guilty B.Offended C.Disappointed D.Discouraged
Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ____.
A.evidence was found that they were potential terrorists
B.most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists
C.terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status
D.they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport
By saying “…we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are”, Mayor Anderson means “______”.
A.there are other ways of enforcing the law
B.we will examine the laws in a different way
C.we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status
D.the existing laws must not be ignored

"Nigerians cannot expect Aljazeera or BBC to report on Africa, and indeed Nigeria and China relations, the way we want," said Oloja.

In a new article, Zehr, a professor at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, describes his success in using the Caped Crusader (披篷騎士) to engage students in the study of physiology.
"Batman (蝙蝠俠) has such powerful influence on readers because he is a fictional human with superpowers that seem within reach if we only work at it," writes Zehr, in a new article published in Advances in Physiology Education, a journal of the American Physiological Society. Zehr believes that it is not Batman's vast wealth that allows him to protect the citizens of Gotham City (哥譚市) , but his dedication to developing a wide range of physical skills.
Zehr uses Batman to establish a framework, grounded in his fictional universe as well as our real one, in order to discuss the various components of exercise and physical training and illustrate how the body's physiological systems respond. His experiences in teaching undergraduate courses in physiology and neurophysiology made him realize that connecting science to popular culture helped students understand the lessons better.
He first presented a formal analysis of the personal and physical discipline that would be required to transform an ordinary person into a superhero in his book, Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero. The book drew on Zehr's understanding and work in human movement and the plasticity of nerves and muscles associated with exercise. By coincidence, the book was published in the wake of The Dark Knight, the blockbuster movie which recounts Batman and his arch-enemy, the Joker.
With the casting almost complete for the sequel(續(xù)集), The Dark Knight Rises, Dr. Zehr writes about his experiences connecting science to popular culture, which is captured in the Advances, article, "A Personal View: From Claude Bernard to the Batcave and Beyond: Using Batman as a hook for physiology education."

A.his large amount of fortune |
B.his devotion to developing varieties of physical skills |

D.his developing so wide range of magic power |
2. Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the third paragraph?
A.Students of physiology and neurophysiology should have more physical training |
B.To become a batman needs developing a wide range of physical skills |
C.Only Batman can illustrate the respond of the body’s physiological system |
D.combining science with popular culture can be beneficial to students’ study |
3.To help students study physiology well, Dr.Zehr uses Batman to do the following EXCEPT___
A.set up his theoretical principles of teaching physiology |
B.discuss the different components of physical training |
C.illustrate the ways of body’s physiology system responding |
D.perform many physiology experiments on the body movement |
4..According to the book Becoming Batman, what does the possibility of becoming a superhero mainly lie on?
A.Dr. Zehr’s formal analyses of the body's movement rules |
B.the flexibility of nerves and muscles when being trained well |
C.the physical training conducted by Dr. Zehr |
D.the final influence of Batman on one person |
5.This passage is mainly about .
A.Batman’seducation significance in physiology |
