They can actually be found in many places on the earth, but not in quantities that can be mined. Only a few countries China, America, India, Australia, Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mined enough to be traded. Even though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper, they are not found in concentrated amounts on the earths surface. They are often mixed together with other metals, which makes extraction (提取) of these elements an expensive and an environmentally messy process. It was due to this reason that the term “rare earth” was invented.Rare earth metals are used widely in our life. Rechargeable car batteries, computers, iPhones, DVD players, computer monitors, televisions, lighting, lasers, glass polishing, and superconductors all use quantities of rare earth metals. Also, with the advancement in “green” technology like solar panels, these shiny materials are becoming more important than ever. An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery!America has large deposits (存储量) of rare earths and has one of the first mines. It was opened in Southern California in 1940. The element “Europium” was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia, the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pace. The mine in Mountain Pass, California also failed environmental regulations and shut down in 2002.Now, recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource, other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines or speeding up their production. It is believed that the debate over rare earths will become louder in the coming months and years.1. What can we learn about rare earths?A. They are actually as abundant as Copper.B. They can be mined easily as other metals.C. They can only be found in a few countries.D. They are not really as rare as they are named.2. Compared with China, America _.A. paid more attention to EuropiumB. has larger deposits of rare earthsC. started producing rare earths earlierD. has more rare earth mines3. It can be inferred from the text that rare earths _.A. are now in great demandB. can now be used in few fieldsC. are harmful to the environmentD. will soon be replaced by other metalsB Should universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So shes carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrows Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.The state governor added that this new educational approach doesnt just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “Weve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what were doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the worlds biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.” Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we dont do it, nobody else will.”“And if nobody does that research, well pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.” James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose. Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.” 4. Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company? A. University graduates in the state are well trained. B. Theres much support from the local government. C. Many students in the state hope to be workers.D. The state economy has been growing rapidly. 5. What is Gutmanns attitude toward Fallins program? A. Curious.B. Tolerant.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.6. Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _. A. the achievements of Merck & Co., Inc B. the difficulty of developing new drugs C. the heavy burden of health care costs D. the importance of basic research 7. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Universities or colleges? B. Workers or researchers? C. Basic or further research? D. Education or development? 11
