Passage 1 Time to cool it
時間順序講了概述，冰箱運輸的需求，問題，改進，形成火車運輸，汽車運輸有毒物質發
明 crc，進一步發展
A
Refrigerators are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and just
a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century, but then
they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea——
draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it,
and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it.
This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well
when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners,
cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech
refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for
something to replace them.
B
One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like
batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them
and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An
array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by,
for example, a person, and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can
then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered
much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists, however. Apply an
appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down.
C
Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko, of Cambridge
University. Using commercially available paraelectric film, he and his
colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any
previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a
laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications.
D
As to what those applications might be, Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy.
He has, nevertheless, set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting
his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners.
The real money, though, may be in cooling computers.
E
Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time.
One consequence of Moore's Law, which describes the doubling of the number of
transistors on a chip every 18 months, is that the amount of heat produced
doubles as well. In fact, it more than doubles, because besides increasing in
number, the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a
logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor, so the faster the
processor is, the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples
the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips
sold by Dr Moore's company, Intel, in 1993, ran at 60m cycles a second. The
Pentium 4——the last "single-core" desktop processor——clocked up 3.2
billion cycles a second.
F
Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and
higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃,
they stop working. Tweaking the processor's heat sinks （copper or aluminium
boxes designed to radiate heat away） has reached its limit. So has
tweaking the fans that circulate air over those heat sinks. And the idea of
shifting from single-core processors to systems that divided processing power
between first two, and then four, subunits, in order to spread the thermal
load, also seems to have the end of the road in sight.
G
One way out of this may be a second curious physical phenomenon, the
thermoelectric effect. Like paraelectric materials, this generates
electricity from a heat source and produces cooling from an electrical
source. Unlike paraelectrics, a significant body of researchers is already
working on it.
H
The trick to a good thermoelectric material is a crystal structure in which
electrons can flow freely, but the path of phonons——heat-carrying
vibrations that are larger than electrons——is constantly interrupted. In
practice, this trick is hard to pull off, and thermoelectric materials are
thus less efficient than paraelectric ones （or, at least, than those
examined by Dr Mischenko）. Nevertheless, Rama Venkatasubramanian, of
Nextreme Thermal Solutions in North Carolina, claims to have made
thermoelectric refrigerators that can sit on the back of computer chips and
cool hotspots by 10℃. Ali Shakouri, of the University of California, Santa
Cruz, says his are even smaller——so small that they can go inside the chip.
I
The last word in computer cooling, though, may go to a system even less techy
than a heat pump——a miniature version of a car radiator. Last year Apple
launched a personal computer that is cooled by liquid that is pumped through
little channels in the processor, and thence to a radiator, where it gives up
its heat to the tmosphere. To improve on this, IBM's research laboratory in
Zurich is experimenting with tiny jets that stir the liquid up and thus make
sure all of it eventually touches the outside of the channel——the part
where the heat exchange takes place. In the future, therefore, a combination
of microchannels and either thermoelectrics or paraelectrics might cool
computers. The old, as it were, hand in hand with the new.

A
We launched Plain English Campaign in 1979 with a ritual shredding of
appalling government and municipal council forms in Parliament Square,
London. We had become so fed up of people visiting our advice centre in
Salford, Greater Manchester, to complain about incomprehensible forms that we
thought we ought to take action. At the time the shredding seemed like merely
throwing sand in the eyes of the charging lion, but it briefly caught the
public imagination and left an impression on government and business.
Although we're pleased with the new plain English awareness in government
departments, many local councils and businesses maintain a stout resistance
to change, one council began a letter to its tenants about a rent increase
with two sentences averaging 95 words, full of bizarre housing finance jargon
and waffle about Acts of Parliament. The London Borough of Ealing sent such
an incomprehensible letter to ISO residents that 40 of them wrote or
telephoned to complain and ask for clarification. Many were upset and
frightened that the council was planning to imprison them if they didn't fill
in the accompanying form. In fact the letter meant nothing of the sort, and
the council had to send another letter to explain
B
Plain legal English can be used as a marketing tactic. Provincial Insurance
issued their plain English Home Cover policy in 1983 and sold it heavily as
such. In the first 18 months its sales rocketed, drawing in about an extra ￡
1. 5 million of business. Recently, the Eagle Star Group launched a plain
English policy to a chorus of congratulatory letters from policyholders.
People, it seems, prefer to buy a policy they can understand.
C
For example, as 8 tablets an hour that we think it should be banned. Unclear
instructions on do-it-yourself products cause expense and frustration to
customers. Writing the necessary instructions for these products is usually
entrusted to someone who knows the product inside out, yet the best
qualification for writing instructions is ignorance. The writer is then like
a first-time user, discovering how to use the product in a step-by-step way.
Instructions never seem to be tested with first-time users before being
issued. So vital steps are missed out or components are mislabeled or not
labelled at all. For example, the instructions for assembling a sliding door
gear say: 'The pendant bolt centres are fixed and should be at an equal
distance from the centre of the door. 'This neglects to explain who should do
the fixing and how the bolt centres will get into the correct position. By
using an imperative and an active verb the instruction becomes much clearer:
'Make sure you fix the centres of the pendant bolts at an equal distance from
the centre of the door.
D
Effectively, the Plain English movement in the US began with President Jimmy
Carter's Executive Order 12044 of 23 March 1978, that required regulations to
be written in plain language. There were earlier government efforts to inform
consumers about their rights and obligations, such as the Truth in Lending
Act (1969) and the Fair Credit Billing Act (1975), which emphasized a body of
information that consumers need in simple language. But President Carter's
executive order gave the prestige and force of a president to the movement.
All over the country isolated revolts or efforts against legalistic
gobbledygook at the federal, state and corporate levels seemed to grow into a
small revolution. These efforts and advances between the years 1978 and 1985
are described in the panel 'The Plain English Scorecard'.
E
The Bastille (巴士底獄) has not fallen yet. The forces of resistance are
strong, as one can see from the case of Pennsylvania as cited in the
Scorecard. In addition, President Ronald Reagan's executive order of 19
February 1981, revoking President Carter's earlier executive order, has
definitely slowed the pace of plain English legislation in the United States.
There are three main objections to the idea of plain English. They are given
below, with the campaign's answers to them:
F
The statute would cause unending litigation and clog the courts. Simply not
true in all the ten states with plain English laws for consumer contracts and
the 34 states with laws or regulations for insurance policies. Since 1978
when plain English law went into effect in New York there have been only four
litigations and only two decisions. Massachusetts had zero cases. The cost of
compliance would be enormous. Translation of legal contracts into non-legal
everyday language would be a waste of time and money. The experience of
several corporations has proved that the cost of compliance is often
outweighed by solid benefits and litigation savings. Citibank of New York
made history in 1975 by introducing a simplified promissory note and
afterwards simplified all their forms. Citibank counsel Carl Falsenfield
says: 'We have lost no money and there has been no litigation as a result of
simplification. ' The cost effectiveness of clarity is demonstrable. A
satisfied customer more readily signs on the bottom line and thus contributes
to the corporation's bottom line. Some documents simply can't be simplified.
Only legal language that has been tested for centuries in the courts is
precise enough to deal with a mortgage, a deed, a lease, or an insurance
policy. Here, too, the experience of several corporations and insurance
companies has proved that contracts and policies can be made more
understandable without sacrificing legal effectiveness.
G
What does the future hold for the Plain English movement? Today, American
consumers are buffeted by an assortment of pressures. Never before have
consumers had as many choices in areas like financial services, travel,
telephone services, and supermarket products. There are about 300
long-distance phone companies in the US. Not long ago, the average
supermarket carried 9, 000 items; today, it carries 22, 000. More important,
this expansion of options - according to a recent report- is faced by a
staggering 30 million Americans lacking the reading skills to handle the
minimal demands of daily living. The consumer's need, therefore, for
information expressed in plain English is more critical than ever.
Gobbledygook is not over yet. We do well to remember, the warning of Chrissie
Maher, organizer of Plain English Campaign in the UK: 'People are not just
injured when medical labels are written in gobbledygook- they die. Drivers
are not just hurt when their medicines don't tell them they could fall asleep
at the wheel - they are killed.'

Passage 3?
In boxes 32-35on your answer sheet, write
TRUE if the statement agrees with the information
FALSE if the statement contradicts the information
NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this
27 In marketing area, spread of Plain English can generate economic benefit.
28 Because doctors tend to use jargon when they talk with patients,
thereafter many patients usually gets confused with medicine dose.
29 After successive election over U.S president Jimmy Carter, effect of Plain
English Campaign is less distinctive than that of previous one.
30 The Plain English Campaigner has a problem of talking with the officials.
31. Word check is made regularly by judge in the court scenario.
32. Compared with situation of the past consumers are now facing less
intensity of label reading pressure in supermarket in America.
