The major contribution of this study is to ______.
A．develop a new research technique easily transferred from one area to another
B．make a comprehensive analysis of juvenile delinquency
C．demonstrate the successful application of new research techniques in a new area
D．modify creatively the previous research finding of juvenile delinquency
One major purpose of this study was to demonstrate whether or not the newer social research techniques could help in broadening and deepening knowledge concerning juvenile delinquency(少年犯罪). Construction of the design was guided by this goal of exploring new methods in the analysis of juvenile delinquency. However, research technique developed in one content area can not be mechanically transferred to another. A new application of them requires substantial changes and it is these innovative modifications which this study offers as its contribution.
Juvenile delinquency has been the subject of many previous studies using a variety of research techniques. This study makes an additional contribution by using a design specially planned to permit a comparison of several approaches.
The drawing up of the study design profited greatly from an extensive survey of previous re searches on crime, undertaken during the earliest stage of the project. It was found that most studies could be classified as belonging to one or more of three broadly conceived types: social background study, family background study and personal motivation study.
Each type has its characteristic design and mode of interpretation and each has produced information of considerable importance. Yet not attempt was made in any of the studies to integrate one or more of these three design types. It became apparent that one of the major contributions a pilot study could make to both method and substantive findings would be to bring all three study types together in one design for the purpose of correlating(使相互关联) their findings and evaluating their relative importance in producing data of use to the practitioner.
In the first paragraph, the author draws an analogy between ______.
A．doing research and drawing a picture
B．research finding and pictures perspective
C．designing a research and making a quick drawing
D．a researcher and a painter
听力原文： New research from Australia shows that pets are good for your health. The findings of this new study suggest that people who have pets are at less risk from heart disease than those who do not.
The new research was carried out over three years and examined 3,000 people. They took tests that measured a variety of different factors known to be involved in heart disease--blood pressure and blood levels. Also, people were asked about their lifestyles. The 800 people who owned pets had low levels on each of the factors measured than those who did not own pets. The study 'also showed that it did not matter what kind of pet was owned--a cat was as good as a dog— so the benefits could not be attributed to the exercises involved in walking a dog.
The question is just how pets manage to make their owners more healthy. The obvious answer is that they make their owners feel more relaxed and happy. The Australian scientists who organized this study commented that if a new drug was available that was as effective as simply having a pet, then this drug would undoubtedly be considered a breakthrough in the control of heart disease.

A．Pets manage to make their owners more healthy.
B．Pets spread many kinds of disease to men.
C．Pet owners enjoy better health because of exercises.
D．Pets can sometimes cause high blood pressure in man.
A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classroom, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.
第31题：According to the writer, personal discoveries ________.
A) will give one encouragement and direction
B) are helpful in finding the right information
C) are the most valuable part of one’s personal education
D) will help one to successfully complete school assignments
听力原文： This week, we talk about getting an American education online. Finding the right online program requires research, just like a traditional education. (33) Talking to advisers and recruiters can help. Keep in mind, though, that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs. Avoid a diploma mill, also known as degree mills, are nothing more than businesses. The education is poor quality, if they even require any class work to get a degree.
The Council on Higher Education Accreditation recognizes a group in Washington to accredit schools that offer distance learning. One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council. (34) We asked the executive director, Michael Lambert, for advice on choosing a distance learning program. He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if the school is accredited. Next, make sure the school offers what you need. Do you need a degree, or will a certificate or license be enough？ Another consideration is cost. Often the published price does not include all the costs, like books. Technology requirements can also add to the costs. Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want？
Also, consider the level of interaction that an online program offers. You might never meet the teacher or other students in person. (35) You need to be able to work without the supervision that you might find in a traditional class.
(30)
A．They might recommend you a degree mill.
B．They might introduce you programs for the purpose of making money.
C．They might offer you pamphlets for certain programs.
D．They might charge higher than CHEA
Shocked at how much money kids spend？ Maybe you haven't checked the price tags lately on some of the younger generation's must-haves.
To some, such extravagant spending on the notoriously fickle young might seem outrageous. Why do some parents give in？
One factor is surely the sheer power of marketing through mass media. According to the group Adbusters, teenagers are exposed to an estimated 3,000 advertisements each day. Combine the ads with programming itself, like the fashion-, music- and skin-filled shows on MTV, and you've got a barrage of messages telling kids what they should own if they want to fit in.
"The pressures on parents today are enormous," says Tom Vogele, a single father of twin 18-year-old girls in Newport Beach, Calif. "I truly believe it is harder today to raise children without spoiling them, not because parents are less capable or lazy,' but because so many forces are working against me."
Many working parents probably compensate by spending money on their kids, says Timothy Marshall, an associate professor of developmental psychology at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. For some, there is probably some guilt involved in not spending enough time at home. But, adds Marshall, spending money is also often more convenient in our fast-paced society than going to baseball games or other activities.
"It's easier to say let's go out and spend some money, in terms of finding time in a busy schedule to spend with kids," Marshall said.
For many families, of course, keeping up with their children's costly demands for designer clothing, CDs, and concert tickets is a financial impossibility. Even for those families who can afford such lavish spending, striking a compromise between spoiling the kids and denying them is tricky, but possible.
Teaching kids how to budget and save is key, Marshall says. Instead of just giving children the toys or clothing they desire, give them an allowance and show them how they can save up for whatever they want, he says.
And don't be afraid to just say no, Marshall adds. "We need to step up and tell kids where the boundaries are, that's part of our responsibility as parents," he said.
In the first paragraph, "Northbrook" is most probably______.
A．a market research company based in Illinois
B．a spokesman for the Teenage Research Unlimited
C．the base of the Teenage Research Unlimited
D．the city where the spending survey was carried out

听力原文：M: I'm doing some research into the French revolution.
W: Oh, I did some on that last year.
M: Why do you think I'm here! Could you suggest some interesting and useful sources？
W: Sure. I found "Voices from the French Revolution" by Henri Le Brun to be very useful, as well as extremely interesting and well written.
M: What makes it so good？
W: Well, he took extracts from diaries kept by people involved in the revolution. They re ally give you an idea of how it felt to live in France during that time.
M: It sounds great. Why haven't I heard of it before？
W: Well, it's only just been translated from the French original and none of the professors have added it to their booklists yet. I used the French version and translated passages myself.
M: I see. I have been told that "The French Revolution" by Victoria Jones is useful.
W: I didn't find it very useful. I mean, there was nothing in it that you can't find else where. On the other hand, it's cheap, because it's available in paperback, and you can buy it at many bookshops.
M: What about using resources available on the Internet？
W: I used the Internet for my research, but I didn't find it very helpful. Many of the web sites were too small to contain much detailed information. Others provided links to other websites, but I found myself spending a lot of time following links and not finding much information.
M: Yes, I've run across that problem myself.
W: You could try the new edition of William Wright's book. It has the same title as Victoria Jones' book. It only came out a couple of months ago and I haven't seen a copy yet. A lot of it has been rewritten or consists of additional material recently found in French archives.
M: Thanks for your help. I'll go to the bookshop and see if I can find the books you've recommended.
W: when does your research have to be completed by？
M: Well, the essay is due in six weeks, so I'll try to finish the research in four, giving me two to write the essay.
W: Good luck!

The Embarrassing Pharmaceutical Industry
The image of drug industry
The drug industry's image problems are beginning to hurt pharmaceutical companies where it matters most-- at the bottom line.
A year after Merck's withdrawal of its arthritis medicine Vioxx led to an industry wide credibility crisis, the Food and Drug Administration is blocking new medicines that might previously have passed muster. Doctors are writing fewer prescriptions for antidepressants and other drugs whose safety has been challenged, like hormone replacement therapies for women in menopause.
Meanwhile, insurers and some states are taking advantage of the backlash against the industry to try shifting patients to older, generic drugs, arguing that they work as well as newer and more expensive branded medicines. Overall, prescriptions continue to rise slightly, but an increasing share of prescriptions are going to generic drugs. Also, consumers seem to be less responsive to aggressive drug marketing.
The industry lost trust
"A lot of the demand that the industry has created over the years has been through promotion, and for that promotion to be effective, there has to be trust," said Richard Evans, an analyst covering drug stocks at Sanford C. Bernstein and Company. "That trust has been lost."
In the background, new competitors are forcing the old-line drug giants to struggle to keep pace. Biotechnology companies like Genentech are taking the lead in finding new treatments for cancer, a promising and lucrative field.
Executives of the major drug companies say they expect public scrutiny in the wake of problems with Vioxx and other drugs. But they say they are concerned that consumer mistrust has led to unrealistic expectations about drug safety and risks, stunting the development of new medicines.
"I think there is an overall unreasonable expectation right now that there is such a thing as a risk free drug," said Sidney Taurel, chief executive of Eli Lilly & Company.
The major drug makers remain highly profitable. But at some, including Pfizer and Merck, the largest and third-largest American companies in terms of revenue, sales are stagnant and profits are failing, leading to layoffs and-- for the first time in years-- cuts in research budgets. The drug industry, which is dominated by companies based in this country, is hardly in a full-blown crisis, and layoffs are occurring mainly on the margins of its work force. Pfizer alone will make about ＄ 8 billion in profit this year, on sales of about ＄ 51 billion, and invest more than ＄ 7 billion in research and development although the company's research spending fell 6 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the same period in 2004, and Pfizer expects it to stay flat or decline in the coming years. Overall, the industry spends more than ＄ 30 billion annually on research and development.
But for the companies, and for patients who are counting on industry research to produce new treatments for diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, these are trying times. Wall Street has also taken notice of the industry's woes. Shares of Pfizer are near their lowest levels since 1997, closing Friday at ＄ 22.43, and a broad index of drug stocks has fallen 25 percent in five years. In contrast, shares of biotechnology companies are soaring.
Without new drugs to promote as patents expire, and with the bar set so high by the blockbusters of the last decade, the old-line companies have depended on stopgap measures to protect sales, like reformulating existing drugs so they can be taken once a week instead of once daily. At the same time, they have used consumer advertising to drive patient demand. But those strategies appear to be losing their effectiveness, as consumers become more skeptical and insurers rebel against high prices for drugs that are not
