A
1 the
experts said he had little chance of
winning.
In
politics,
an 2 candidate
(
候选人
)
for
office
who
3 a
nomination(
提
名
)or election is called a
British
Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Disrael
is
believed
to 4 the
first
to
use
the
phrase.
In
his
novel,
Young
Duke
published
in
1831,
Disrael
described
a
horse
race
and
told
how
the
two
top
choices
fell
5 ,while
dark
horse
had
never
been
thought
of
rushing
past
the
grandstand
(
看台
)in
a
sweeping
triumph.
From
racing
to
politics
was
a
short
step.
As
a
political
phrase,
“
dark
horse
”
6 for
the
first
time
in
the
national
Democratic
Party
congress
of
1844.
The
horse
Polk had
been the leader of the House of Representatives
from 1835 to 1839. He
had 7 been
Governor of the
state of
Tennessee. But
as
a national
leader, he was
considered a
political 8 .
Nevertheless,
he
9
won
the
Democratic
nomination
and
was
elected
10 .Martin
Van
Buren
of
New
York,
A
former
President,
seemed
sure
of
getting
the
nomination.
But
he
opposed
making
the
territory
of
Texas
part
of
the
United
States
as mother state. He was 11 it
because there was slavery in Texas. Van Buren
did
not
want
another
slave
state
in
the
Union.
As
a
result,
he 12 support
among
those Democrats who
supported slavery.
At
the
1884
congress,
Van
Buren
could
not
get
enough
votes
to
win
the
nomination.
The
congress
got
into
13 .
Therefore,
the
Democratic
leaders
decided
that
the
only
wise
thing
would
be
to
run
a
horse
could
unite
the
party.
And
so,
one
of
the
party
leaders,
George
Bancroft,
proposed
the
name
of
James
Knox
Polk.
He
won,
and
the
party 15 behind
him,
And
he
defeated
his
opponent
,
Henry
Clay of the Whig Party.
16 the
1844
congress,
the
horse
became
an
established
fact of national
political life. One historian said,
horse was 17 a remarkable product
of our professional politics.

Every
year,
almost
2
million
Americans
are
injured
while
they're 1 work.
Every
day, 240 are killed on the job. The 2 job is
cutting down trees. Being
a
policeman
is
safer
than
many
jobs,
including
driving
a
truck,
collecting
garbage
and 3 airplanes. One of the safest
jobs is being a librarian.
The government inspects(
检查
)
most factories and offices. 4 have to 5
fines if their factories or offices are
unsafe. In California, employers often
go
to
prison
if
one
of
their
workers
is
6 because
a
factory
didn't 7 safety
measures.
But
President
Bush
cut
down
the
number
of
government
inspectors 8
15
percent. Many people say working is
less safe 9 .
For
women workers, the greatest danger so far is
murder. Forty--two percent
of
all 10 who
die
at
work
were
killed.
Many
of
them
work 11 clerks
in
stores
12
they are by themselves at night. Experts say they
can protect themselves by
putting the
cash desk in full 13 of the street.
The numbers of deaths and
accidents at work don't take into 14 people
1
who
become
sick
from
15 that
they
are
exposed
to
at
work.
Doctors
don't
know
16
some chemicals cause illness.
There are no government rules for
many new chemicals.
Inspectors
say
employers
17 their
backs
on
safety
problems
because
they
don't want to pay the bill for fixing
them. They also say some workers don't want
to complain about dangers because they
may 18 their jobs.
The
government
should
force
business
to
improve
safety.

no 19 for
workers dying or 20 in an accident

How
zoos

has
led
to
a
scientific 3 .
Some
scientists
complain that zoos use 4 force to
train the huge animals and get them 5
control.
There are about 400 elephants in North American
zoos, and wild animal parks.

The 6 animals with their
big trunks and ears and tusks delight children and
7
smiles from adults. 8 hasn't 9
when an elephant has picked up a peanut

But
elephants
aren't
in
zoos
just
for
entertainment.
Elephants
are 10 in
Asia
and
Africa,
and
being
raised
in
American
zoos
may
be 11 to
keep
them 12.
Elephants are different from most
other zoo animals because they must be in
touch with humans who take care of
their feet, and 13 an elephant wants to be
dominant(
支配的
). An
elephant wants to
control
the 14 , not on
the
contrary.
Elephant keepers must make the animals
obey them 15 they may be attacked
by the elephants.

Foods
quickly
spoil
and
break
down
if
they
are
not
stored 1 .
Heat
and
damp
encourage
increase
in
micro--
organisms(
微生物的
),
and
sunlight
can
2 vitamins
in such food as milk.
Therefore, 3 foods should be stored in a cool,
dark and
dry place.
Some
foods 4 bad
quickly,
such
as
meat,
eggs
and
milk.
They
should
be
stored
in
a
temperature
of
5'C~10'C.
In
this
temperature
range,
the
activity
of
micro-organisms is 5 .
In warm climates, this temperature
can be kept 6 in a fridge or in the
underground basement of a
house.
Dry
goods,
such
as
flour
and
rice,
should
be
kept
at
a
slightly 7
temperature
than
foods
that
go
bad
quickly.
A
temperature
of
15'C
is
ideal(
理想的
).
In
Britain
and
northern European countries this means that the
room in which dry foods are
stored
should 8 the general heating of the house. The
room should also be well
9 and, above
all, dry. Damp very quickly causes the 10 of
the green molds.
These molds often grow
on cheese if it is not stored properly.
Fruits and vegetables need cool and
damp 11 . Therefore, an underground
basement usually 12 an excellent
storage place. If the central heating unit
is in the basement, 13 , it will not
be ideal unless the unit and the pipes do
not give out any 14 .
Foodstuffs do not break down
quickly. If correctly 15 , they should keep
for
quite
long
periods
of
time.
Thus,
salt
and
sugar
will
keep
for
about
two
years;
tinned meat goods,
16 beef and chicken, for about eighteen months;
flour and
other dry goods, for about a
year. Freezing the foodstuffs that spoil easily
preserves (
保存
)
them for much longer 17 is otherwise possible.
But 18
frozen
foods
do
not
keep
their
food
value
or
their 19 for
ever.
As
a 20
rule,
meat should be cooked and eaten
within a year after it is frozen; fish , within
six to ten months; fruits and
vegetables, with three to six months.

Most of us can
remember the days when we
didn

t use e-mail as an
everyday vehicle for
communication.
Slowly but surely, it crept into 36
.
E-mail is a
37
tool for
college
students at any level.
It

s available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week and
38
at holidays.
Most universities assign
students an account upon entrance, 39
there is usually not even
an option
involved.

horoscopes, news services, or
personals, that your mailbox is so 48
“
junk

, that
finding the 49
e-mails through your

If
