Research
that
went
into
developing
the
highly
specialized
technology
for
space
travel
has
resulted
in
many
unexpected
21
applications back on earth. Out of the
engineering that produced rocket motor, space
suits,
and
other
necessities
of
space
flight
came
by
products
that
no
one
had
anticipated.
Equipment
and
22
designed for use in medicine, industry,
and the home, these valuable by products of space
research, called spin offs,
have
improved the quality of life on earth in many
ways.
Some of the best-known
examples of spin-offs from space research are
found in hospitals and doctors' offices. One
such example is the sight switch, which
was originally developed to allow astronauts to
control their spacecraft without
using
their hands. It is now used by
23
people to operate devices
using eye movements.
Doctors have also benefited from the
technology required to make electronic instruments
small enough and durable
enough for
trips into space. From this technology have come
hearing aids the size of an aspirin and television
cameras
small enough to be
24
to a surgeon's head to give
medical students a close-up view of an
operation.
Biotelemetry,
which
was
developed
to
25
the
physical
signs
of
astronauts
by
checking
their
temperature,
brain-wave
activity,
breathing
rate,
and
heartbeat,
offers
doctors
a
new
means
of
monitoring
hospital
patients. Biosensors attached to the
body send data by wire or radio. This information
is displayed on
26
for
doctors to
analyze.
One of the most
valuable
27
of
aerospace technology to industry is a management
technique called
the systems approach.
With the aid of computers, this technique brings
together all the elements of a complex project,
including people, money, and materials,
to assure that everything is completed at the
optimum time. It has been applied
to a
variety of situations
28
to space exploration. Among them are
cancer research, hospital design, city
planning, crime detection, pollution
control, building construction, and
transportation.
The
experience gained from developing NASA spacesuits
was applied to the process of designing clothing
for use
in
other
29
.
Firefighters
now
have
lighter
and
special
fire
blocking
materials
that
are
more
30
to
cracking and burning. Spacers used for cushioning
in moon boots were adapted for use in athletic
shoes that are
designed to reduce
fatigue and injury.

If your parents take out a loan, remind
them to make the payments on time. Otherwise it
will become a(n)
31
record in their
personal credit reports, which are playing a(n)
32
big role in
people's daily lives. A story
carried
by Chongqing Morning Post in June,
33
this trend.
According
to
the
report,
a
Chongqing
student
borrowed
money
from
the
bank
to
34
his
university
studies. After he
graduated in 2005, he went to work in Shenzhen.
Later, he wanted to buy a house using loans. But
several banks turned down his loan
35
. The reason was that he had not paid
back 1,500 yuan he borrowed
from a bank
when he was at university.
A
personal credit rating is becoming a(n)
36
“pass” in everyday life, as
China establishes a nationwide
credit
database. Personal credit systems go back 150
years. In developed countries, enterprises and
banks use them to
decide whether or not
to loan money or do other business with a
person.
A
credit
report
37
the
credit
worthiness
of
an
individual,
a
company,
or
even
a
country.
It
is
a(n)
38
made by credit bureaus of a borrower's
overall credit history and his or her ability to
repay debt. A poor credit
rating means
a high risk of defaulting on a loan, and thus
leads to the
39
of a loan by
the lender.
Today in China, credit history in banks
is the major
40
of a credit
report. But in the future, reports will
include information about the payment
of telephone bills, water use fees, electricity
and natural gas bills, and taxes,
according to officials of the People's
Bank of China, the central bank.
The secrets of
long life
A long healthy life is no
accident. It begins with good genes, but it also
depends on good ___41___
. So what’s the
formula for success? In a recent study,
scientists have focused on groups living in
several refions where exceptional
longevity is the norm: Sardinia, Italy,
Loma Linda, California, and the islands of
Okinawa, Japan.
Sardinians

Why
do they live so long? __42__ is part of the
answer. By 11 a.m. Tonino has already milked four
cows, chopped
wood and
walked four miles with his sheep. Now,
taking the day’s first break, he gathers his grown
children,
grandson, around the kitchen
table. Giovanna, his wife, unties a handkerchief
containing a paper-thin flatbread called
carta da musica, pours some red wine,
and
cut slices
of homemade cheese.
These
Sardinians also benefit from their __43__ history.
According to Paolo Francalacci of the University
of Sassari,
80 percent of them are
__44__the first Sardinians, who arrived in the
area 11,000 years ago. Genetic traits made
stronger over generations may favor
longevity.
__45__, too, is
a Sardinians diet is loaded with fruits and
vegetables, milk and milk products,
fish and wine. Most of these items are homegrown.
Adventists
The
study found that the Ad
ventists’ habit
of consuming beans, soy milk, tomatoes, and other
fruits
__46__their risk
of
developing certain cancers. It also suggested that
eating whole wheat bread, drinking five glasses of
water a day,
and, most __47__,
consuming four servings of nuts a week reduced
their risk of heart disease. And it found that not
eating red meat had been helpful in
avoiding both cancer and heart disease.
Okinawans
The first thing
you notice about Ushi Okushima is her __48__. It
fills the room with pure joy. This rainy afternoon
she
sits comfortably wrapped in a blue
kimono. Her thick hair is combed back from her
suntanned face, revealing alert
green,
eyes. Not long ago, she started wearing perfume.
When asked about the perfume, she __49__that she
has a new
boyfriend.__50__behavior for
a young woman, perhaps, but Ushi is 103.
With an average life
expectancy of 78 years for men and 86 years for
women, Okinawans are among the world’s
longest lived people. This is
undoubtedly due in part to Okinawans warm and
__51__ climate and scenic beauty.
Senior citizens living in these islands
tend to enjoy years __52__disabilities. Okinawans
have very low rates of cancer
and heart
disease compared to American seniors.
A
lean diet of food grown on the island and a
philosophy of __53__---
may also be a
factor. “eat until your stomach is
80
percent full.
” may also be factors.
Ironically, this healthy way of eating was born of
__54__.
Ushi Okushima grew
up
barefoot and poor, her family grew sweet potatoes,
which formed the core of every meal. During World
War II,
when the men of the island
joined the army, Ushi and her friend Setsuko fled
to the center of the island with their
children. “We __55__ terrible hunger,”
Setsuko re
calls.

In today's American society, background
checks have become a routine part of hiring
process.
Employers use them to assess
___56____ workers, judging whether they are
qualified for the posts.
Through
background checks, employers can also make sure
that the information applicants provide is
____57___, which suggests the
applicants' moral quality.
Then what do background checks
investigate? Many ____58___
a review of the employee's
___59____
history trying to confirm whether the
employee has ever been fired or forced to resign.
Employers also pay attention to the
length of unemployment, afraid that long-time
absence from
___60____ may bring
negative influence to the employee's performance.
Sometimes, an applicant's
residential
history is also an issue. Jobs with state or local
governments often require that the employee
live in certain areas, ___61____the
chances for them to have contact with ill-
intentioned people.
Besides, living
near the work place is always ___62____as it saves
time and fares on transportation.
Another item which can't be ____63___
is the applicant's criminal history --- whether he
has ever been
arrested or put into
prison. Although __64__ offences like traffic
ticketing or queue jumping are
usually
pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely spared
and, in most cases, is sure to result in the
____65___ of the employment. Then comes
the social history. A background check that
involves the
applicant's social history
is generally needed for government posts or
employment in finance and law
industries that require greater self-
dicipline. A small mistake in these ____66___ may
result in huge
loss. The investigation
usually checks drug use, family relationships and
social contacts, in order to
avoid
___67____someone unsuitable for the posts.
Background investigators who look into social
history may interview neighbors and
professional references recognized by the
applicant.
Finally in the
field of education background, an application form
may ask for copies of licenses or
university diplomas to show the
applicant's __68__ performances. In many
instances, an education
background
check is so particular about ____69___ that
investigators even confirm the date on which
the employee earned his degree to
determine if it ___70____ the information the
employee provided on
his
application.
