1、Are you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.
High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past. That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.
But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations – often thousands of miles apart – can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.
Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.
Of course, computer – assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “Computer – aide design (CAD) and computer – aided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary (跨学科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”
Sometimes a computer – aided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high – technology team work, the future seems limitless.
6. The underlined part “hold more” most probably means to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

A. to prove high technology has a promising future
B. to explain his idea of new type of teamwork is reasonable
C. to show that it tends to be an end to teamwork soon
D. to indicate the computer – assisted team effort just means investigation and simulation.

A. Many fields of science and technology are now using computers effectively.
B. No details are given in the passage about barriers between traditional desigand manufacturing functions.
C. Experts from different fields have to cooperate to develop a product from concept to production.
D. High technology is nothing but a new type of teamwork plus CAD and CAM.

2、56.2 percent of Chinese families buy prescription medicines and store them at home for later use. Of them, about 80 percent throw away medicines that have passed their use by date, a survey reveals.Officials said the government should introduce laws to regulate the collection and disposal of out-of-date medicines. A risk analysis system for medicines should also be established, the experts said.
To study the way people stored medicines and the way medicines were handled after they had passed their used by date, the survey covered more than 1,800 families in 18 cities and counties from Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Shandong, Sichuan and Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region between October and November in 2007. In Shanghai, 56.4 percent of the residents said they threw away out-of-date medicines and 25.5 percent returned them to pharmacies, the highest percentage recorded of all the regions in the survey.About 60 percent of residents knew that out-of-date medicines could be an environmental threat and 75.3 percent were aware of the dangers involved in selling out-of-date medicines to illegal drug dealers.
"The dangers in using out-of-date medicine are more serious than the adverse reactions to drugs. Local drug authorities have begun education campaigns to teach residents to return out-of-date medicines," said the vice director of the Shanghai Clinical Center for Drug Adverse Reaction Monitoring."There were some 15,000 adverse drug reaction cases in the city last year. About 90 percent of these were caused by improper use of drugs, and one of the main causes of this was people using out-of-date medicines."
