Jim Madison was walking through the American Cemetery（公墓） at Normandy one day in 2001 when his eyes fell on a grave marker that caught him by surprise, ―Elizabeth A. Richardson, American Red Cross, Indiana July 25, 1945‖.The chance discovery led to his new book-- An American Woman in World War Two, which tells about the war through the eyes of Richardson.
Richardson joined the Red Cross in 1944 and worked on a Clubmobile-- a converted bus from which she and other women served coffee and chatted to American soldiers scattered across England and France. More important than the food, they were a reminder of home for lonely and miserable soldiers.
She died at 27 in a crash of a two-seater L-5 Sentinel aircraft. She was one of four women buried at the American Cemetery at Normandy.
Madison said the present understanding of World War Two just focused on the experiences of male soldiers, but women were also important to the war effort and brought their own views to the conflict. ―The point I try to make in the book is how close Richardson came to understanding war,‖ he said. ―She saw the effects of it, and she grieved（感到悲痛）.‖
When Madison returned from Normandy in 2001, he managed to contact
Richardson’s younger brother, Charles Richardson Jr. It was her family’s keeping of her letters and diaries that made possible the book, which quoted from them extensively.
Madison believes America’s fascination with World War Two will outlive those who fought it and the generations that follow them. Since the late 1980s, he has taught undergraduate courses on the war at Indiana University, and he said students obviously warm up to the subject.
He said he sometimes talked to World War Two soldiers who ―have a sense that young people don’t know and they don’t care‖. ―I tell them it’s the opposite‖, he said. 68. How did Jim Madison get the idea of writing a book about World War Two? A. His friends suggested it. B. He got it quite by accident
C. It was requested by Richardson’s brother. D. It was arranged by his university.
69. The passage suggests that women working in the Red Cross, like Richardson, A. provided warmth and encouragement to soldiers B . were braver than male soldiers
C. didn’t experience much suffering during the war D. had a good understanding of the cruelty of the war 70. What made Madison’s new book special?
A. That it was based on a real life story and focused on the cruelty of war. B. That it talked about war from a woman’s point of view. C. That it quoted a lot from Richardson’s letters and diaries.
D. That it reminded people of those who contributed in World War Two. 71. According to Madison, today’s American youth . A. know a lot about World War Two B. don’t respect World War Two soldiers C. are eager to learn about World War Two
D. are more interested in learning about male soldiers E
Magnetic interference from MP3 headphones can interfere with heart pacemakers （心脏起搏器）and implantable defibrillators, a study has found.
Heart patients with such devices should not put their headphones in their breast pocket or hang them round their neck, researchers have warned.
Small but strong magents inside headphones can deactivate the devices if placed within 1.2 inches of them, posing a real risk to the patient, researchers told an American Heart Association meeting in New Orleans. The MP3 players themselves posed no threat to pacemakers and defibrillators.
Dr. William Maisel of the Medical Device Safety Institute at Beth Israel Medical Center in Boston led a team that tested eight models of MP3 player headphones, including clip-on and ear bud types, in 60 defibrillator and pacemaker patients. They
placed the headphones on the patients' chests, directly over the devices. The headphones interfered with the heart devices in about a quarter of the patients and interference was twice as likely in those with a defibrillator than with a pacemaker. A pacemaker sends electrical impulses to the heart to speed up or slow cardiac rhythm. The magnet, however, could make it deliver a signal no matter what the heart rate is, possibly leading to palpitations or arrhythmia, the researchers said.
An implantable defibrillator signals the heart to normalize its rhythm if it gets too fast or slow. A magnet could de-activate it, making it ignore an abnormal heart rhythm instead of delivering an electrical shock to normalize it. The devices usually go back to working the right way after the headphones are removed, the researchers said. \main message here is: it's fine for patients to use their headphones normally, meaning they can listen to music and keep the headphones in their ears. But what they should not do is put the headphones near their device,\
72. The underlined word deadactive in the third paragraoh probably means ―to make something_______‖
A. incorrect B. normal C. ineffective D. useful
73. According to the study, what is actually endangering heart patients with heart devices?
A. The music they hear with MP3 headphones
B. The eight models of MP3 players that have been tested. C. Magnetic interference from MP3 headphones. D. The magnets inside pacemakers and defibrillators. 74. What is the fourth paragraph about ?
A. Atest to monitor how heart beats are interfered with. B. How many patients were tested
C. A brief introduction to defibrillators and pacemakers . D. Dr. William Maisel was concerned about heart problems. 75. From the passage we can learn that________.
A. MP3 players are gaining popularity among heart patients
B. pacemakers and defibrillators are actually harmful to people’s health C. heart patients should not listen to music.
D. pacemakers and defibrillators can help normalize heart rhythm
