20、 to state schools.The Schools Amateur Boxing Association (SABA) has developed the Kid Gloves scheme (方 案），a -non-contact (非接触)version of the sport where outside coaches teach a range of basic skills.Chris Andrews, assistant secretary of the SABA, said the scheme was regarded as a way of changing the

21、 decline in boxing in state schools which began 25 years ago.Safety fears and the poor image of professional boxing had accelerated the sports decline. Concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer Bradley Stone. But the Croxteth example was winning more supporters. M

22、r. Andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of England.“The interest shown so far has been enormous,” he said. “I believe that boxing will come back into schools. A video has been produced to promote boxing in schools, and a bid has been made for a Sports Council grant

23、(拨款）.”He said, “I think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really are very beneficial for children. This scheme takes away the dangers. I hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated way.” Such an id

24、ea horrifies such groups as the British Medical Association (BMA) and the British Safety Council, both critics of the idea.Dr Jeffrey Cundy, the joint author of a BMA report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in Liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. He said, “We feel that children sh

25、ould still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.”He added, “There is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. We see this reintro

26、duction in schools as an unhealthy development.”At the 800-pupil Croxteth school, Steve Stewart, head of PE, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. Everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scra

27、tch, the improvements could be quickly seen.Certificates were presented to the pupils at the end of the course by Paul Hodgkinson, a local boxer who is a former world champion. Next year, the course will be repeated and if possible girls will be allowed to take part following requests from them.Gerr

28、y Thompson and Tony Curry, both 12，have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “I thought it was brilliant,” said Gerry. “I would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. Its more enjoyable”41.Whats the present situation of the Croxteth school boxing co

33、amiliar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1.” This excerpt vividly sums up the concept of Thiers book. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system, for progress comes from the most important skill: Learning to think for yourself.This bestseller is welcomed by the startup co

34、mmunity as it offers precious advice on what to consider and what to avoid before moving forward.

38、truggling to forgive definitely make the true story an incredibly unbelievable legend of a man who refused to be broken.Theres a reason why this book is number one on Amazon and a Hollywood motion picture. While entrepreneur ism isnt quite the theme of this book, the lessons of personal sacrifice, s

39、urvival and resistance are.

45、for thinking.D.Both Michael Michalko and Peter Thiel attach great importance to technology.CThe use of animals for research is a controversial issue many people oppose their use on the grounds that the experiments are cruel and unnecessary.Sixteen-year-old Laura thinks differently. Although she appe

46、ars healthy, she has to take 30 different drugs each day and is expected to live for only another ten, maybe twelve years. Every year, hundreds of children are born, like her, with cystic fibrosis(囊胞性纤维症).There is no cure 一 at least not yet.Laura may, just may, be one of the first cystic fibrosis ch

47、ildren to be saved. A few years ago, scientists developed a new mouse with the similar disease as Laura. This made it much easier to develop new treatments. Within ten years, there will probably be ways of curing Laura, as long as that research, using those animals, continues.There are plenty of emo

48、tional arguments both for and against animal testing, but lets start with the most obvious facts. If you examine the history of medicine, you find that experiments on animals have been an important part of almost every major medical advance. Many cornerstones of medical science the discovery that bl

49、ood circulates through our veins (静脉)，understanding the way lungs work, the discovery of vitamins and hormones were made this way.Most of the main advances in medicine itself also depended on animal experiments. In the Fifties, between 2000 and 4000 people each year in the UK were paralyzed or kille

50、d by polio (,J、 JL麻瘦症)but, thanks to the polio vaccine, this number has now dropped to just one or two cases a year. Modern surgery would be impossible without todays anaesthetics (麻醉学).The list goes on: organ transplants, heart surgery, hip replacements, drugs for cancer and asthma (哮端）一 animals pl

51、ayed an important part in these medical advances.Animal experimentation wasn，t the only type of research necessary to the medical advances that save human lives. Studies on human volunteers were also essential, and test-tube experiments were vital in many cases. But the history of medicine tells us

52、that animal experiments are essential if we want to deal with the diseases.This is the dilemma we face. We want to prevent suffering. The crucial issue is how we use animals in research. Modem science has developed humane experimental techniques. It is possible to do animal experiments using methods

53、 that the animals dont even notice. The worst these animals have to put up with is living in a cage with regular food and water, with animal keepers and vets looking after them.The golden rule of laboratory animal welfare is to minimize any pain involved using the principle of the three Rs. First yo

54、u reduce the number of animals used in each experiment to the minimum that will give a scientific result. Then, whenever possible, you replace animal experiments with alternatives that dont use animals but will give equally scientific results. Finally, you refine the animal experiments that you do,

55、so they cause the least possible harm to the animals. If an experiment involves surgery on the animal, give it an anaesthetic. When it comes around, give it painkillers and medicine to fight infection.50.The writer mentions Laura in Para. 2 and 3 to show that.A.cystic fibrosis is a deadly diseaseB.c
