SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “ anything else that came up. ”

Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.

Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event, having set a qualifying time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.

Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago.

“ I was at a national youth game on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train, ” Schipper explained. “ It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there. ”

“ She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting. ”

Next time, things will be more serious. “ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly  at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould, ” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.

London, Reuters--What could annoy teenagers enough to make them stop hanging out with  friends and go home?

No, it's not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.

It's high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover their ears tightly and walk away.

The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body's natural ability to detect some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.

A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at trouble spots.

Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem, they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."

60. The device can be used to ____________.

A. threaten teenagers in public

B. drive away trouble-makers under 20

C. help mothers control their teenage children

D. help the police control shopkeepers

61. From the passage we can know that ___________.

A. young people often  suffer from pains in ears

B . shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects

C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people' over 20

D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers

62. The purpose of the writer to write the passage is  ________.

A. to advertise a new hi-tech device

B. to tell the reader a piece of news         C. to sell the device to shopkeepers

D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police

63. Who will welcome the device most?

A. Shopkeepers.    B. The police.     C. Young people.   D. The producer.

New friends. Fresh lifestyle. Better career opportunities...Those are attractions of overseas study for young people in China. "Start early, finish strong, some of them say.

More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekend's international education exposition (展览).

The US has always been on the top destination list for Chinese students, with its high education standards and enough scholarship.

Good news:It's easier to get a US student visa (签证) nowadays. Last year, the refusal rate was only 20 to 30 per cent, much lower than a few years before, according to US Embassy.

Concerns: There're a lot to prepare. The TOFEL, GRE... It's longer time to apply to US universities than schools in the UK or Australia.

Good climate, high quality education, favour-

able immigration (移民) policy: these make Australia one of the most popular choices among Chinese students.

pared with 12 weeks before )
