Surgeons will soon be able to enter the eye to carry out operations—at least in a virtual sense. Techniques derived from virtual reality the computer system that immerses operations in an artificial computer-generated world—will allow surgeons to feel as if he could see the in side of the eye during an operation, creating the illusion that they are actually there.
Researchers at the Biorobotics (生物机械技术)Laboratory of McGill University in Montreal are building a robot , known as Micro Surgery robot-1(MSR- I for short), that will perform. delicate operations under the control of a human surgeon. The robot is specifically designed for performing eye surgery but could have other applications, such as the removal of brain tumors. The system could also be used to allow surgeons and their students to practise simulated surgery that feel like the real thing- without the real consequences for the patients.
During the operations, the surgeon manipulates a set of control known as the master. These are connected through a high- performance computer to the robot. Both the master and the robot have two limbs, When the surgeon moves the masters' limbs, the robots limbs move in exactly the same way, except that the movements can be scaled down as much as a thousand times. This will eliminate hand tremor and poor accuracy and thus reduce the damage to the eye that can occur with present microsurgery techniques. Each of the robots limbs has a minimum movement of one micrometer---more than one hundred times the precision of the human hand.
The computer also creates a three - dimensional robot' s eye view of the inside of the eye that the surgeon can see by wearing a virtual reality helmet (虚拟现实头盔) that has a small lens in front of each eye.
To provide the surgeon with such a realistic experience, MSR-I must be able to move rapidly, but this requires extremely fast computing. To handle the computational demands of instant interaction, the McGill team is constructing its own parallel-processing computer., It is al so studying areas such as muscle mechanism, artificial intelligence and optics, and has a already built another micro robot MR- I, capable of manipulating a single living cell.
Although commercial applications of the new system are not expected for several years, its basic mechanical components will be ready for testing in a few months, "The day when micro robots will be able to perform. surgery without human intervention is many years away," says Hunter, "in the meantime , a system such as MRS-I is a necessary precursor."
The so-called "virtual reality "mentioned in this passage is actually.
A.a surgical tool used for operations
B.a computer system used to produce life- like illusions
C.a new kind of applications in a visual technology.
D a way to carry out operations in a visual sense

As thick-skinned elected officials go, FIFA President Joseph S. Blotter is right up there with Bill Clinton. The chief of the Zurich-based group that oversees World Cup Soccer hasn't been accused of groping any interns, but that's about all he hasn't been accused of. Vote buying, mismanagement, cronyism-and that's just for starters. Yet the 66-yearold Swiss shows no sign of abandoning his campaign for a second four-year term.
Blatter, a geek of dispensing FIFA's hundreds of million in annual revenue to inspire loyalty, even stands a good chance of reelection. At least he did. Since mid-March, he has seen a credible challenger emerge in Issa Hayatou, president of the African Football Confederation. Hayatou, a 55-year-old from Cameroon, leads a group of FIFA reformers that also includes FIFA Vice-President Lennart Johansson, a Swede who lost the presidential election to Blatter in 1998. These contenders' mission: to end what they call the culture of secrecy and lack of accountability that threatens FIFA with financial disaster.
Representatives of the world's 204 national soccer associations meet in Seoul on May 29, and the rebels are given a chance of unseating Blatter. But even they concede that the FIFA honcho won't be easy to dislodge. Blatter's staying power seems incredible, given the array of misdeeds attributed to him and his circle. However, there are signs that FI FA's troubles are bigger than Blatter is saying.
The insurgents have already won one victory: They persuaded the rest of the executive board to order an audit of FIFA finances. But Blatter—who claims, through a spokesman, that the accusations are a smear campaign—should not be underestimated. At least publicly, sponsors and member associations remain remarkably silent with the controversy. For example, there is no outward sign of outrage from German sports equipment maker Adidas-Salomon, which is spending much of its $625 million marketing budget on the World Cup. "We don't expect current developments within FIFA to have a negative impact on our expectations" for the World Cup, says Michael Riehl, Adidas head of global sports marketing.
The conventional wisdom is that fans don't care about FIFA politics. Says Bernd Schiphorst, president of Hertha BSC Berlin, a top-ranked German team: "I've no fear that all these discussions are going to touch the event. "Still, the Olympic bribery scandals and the doping affair in the Tour de France show that sleazy dealings can stain the most venerable athletic spectacle. "For the Good of the Game" is FIFA's official motto. The next few months should show whether it rings true.
The writer's attitude toward FIFA President Blatter seems to be that of
A.slight support.
B.high appreciation.
C.strong contempt.
D.reserved consent.

Attention to details is something everyone can and should do--especially in a tight job market. Bob Cross Icy, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. "It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.
"Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake. I eliminate the candidates," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the tree." Says Charles Garfield, an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture. If they don't, we should drop them and move to something else."
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo Il moon launch was lightly off-course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary." Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Too often we believe what accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.
According to the passage, some job applicants were rejected ______.
A.because they eliminated their names from the applicants' list themselves
B.because of their inadequate education as shown in their poor spelling in writing a resume
C.because they failed to give a detailed description of their background in their applications
D.because of their carelessness as shown in their failure to present a clean copy of a resume

International business consists of transactions that are devised and carried out across national borders to satisfy the objectives of individuals, companies, and organizations. These transactions take on varied forms, which are often interrelated. Primary types of international business are export-import trade and direct foreign investment. The latter is carried out in varied forms, including wholly owned subsidiaries and joint ventures. Additional types of international business are licensing, franchising, and management contract.
As the definition indicates, and as for any kind of domestic business, 'satisfaction' remains a key tenet of international business. The fact that the transactions are across international borders highlights the difference between domestic and international business. The international executive is subject to a new set of macro-environmental factors, to
different constraints, and to quite frequent conflicts resulting from different laws, cultures, and societies. The basic principles of business still apply, but their application, complexity, and intensity vary substantially.
21. International business consists of domestic and international transactions.
22. Export-import trade is the basic form. of international business.
23. As the definition indicates, 'satisfaction' remains a key tenet of international business.
'A key tenet' here means an important principle.
24. There is no difference between national and international business.
25. International business is influenced by different laws, cultures, and societies.

In the world, soccer or football is the most popular sport. This is because many countries have wonderful teams for the World Cup. The World Cup is held every four years.
To remember 2002 FIFA World Cup, children from different countries and more than 60 children from Japanese schools came together and spent three weekends drawing a big picture called "Dream World Cups" in Japan. The children drew animals, flowers and people playing soccer under a blue bright sky. They wished each football team good luck by drawing the flags of all the countries that will take part in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The picture was put up in a park near a playground in Yokohama. Some football teams will have games there.
Are you a football fan?The World Cup makes more and more people interested in football. Teenagers like playing and watching football. Many of them love some football stars so much that they get the pictures of their favourite players on the walls of their rooms.
