It was the perfectquote for such a 36 occasion. But from the moment he said it, people have argued about whether the NASAastronaut got his lines wrong. In the tense six hours and forty minutes between landing on the moon and stepping out ofthe capsule, Armstrong wrote what he knew would become some of the most 37 words in history. He has alwaysinsisted that he wrote “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” which would have been a moremeaningful and 38 correct sentence. Without the missing “a,” the intended meaning of the sentence is lost. Ineffect, the line means, “That is one small step for mankind (i.e., humanity), one giant leap for mankind.” But did hereally say the sentence incorrectly? Until now Armstrong himself had never been sure if he actually said what he wrote.In his biography First Man he told the author James Hansen, “I must admit that it doesn’t sound like the word ‘a’ isthere. On the other hand, certainly the ‘a’ was intended, because that’s the only way it makes sense.” But now, afteralmost four decades, the space explorer has been 39 . Using high-tech sound analysis techniques, Peter ShannFord, an Australian computer expert, has discovered that the “a” was spoken by Armstrong, but he said it so quicklythat it was 40 on the recording that was broadcast to the world.

Three lawmakers whorepresent Birmingham at the European Parliament accidentally used a picture of the U.S. city on their Internet site inJanuary.“I would have thought the council would take more care,” said Birmingham resident Jon Cooper. “I can’t believe noone at the town hall noticed.”Britain’s Birmingham is famed for its modernist Bullring shopping mall, with its distinctive metallic curved exterior,and an extensive network of canals, churches, and historical buildings.

Isolating a city’s effluent and shipping it awayin underground sewers has probably saved more lives than any medical procedure except vaccination. But out of sightis out of mind. And that, together with the inherent yuckiness of the subject, means that many old sewers have beenneglected and are in dire need of repair. If that repair does not come in time, the result is noxious and potentiallyhazardous. All this neglect, though, makes it hard to know where best to apply the sticking-plasters. So MarkHernandez of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and his team have been looking for an easily measurable signal thatsomething is about to go wrong.A candidate, Dr. Hernandez suspected, is hydrogen sulphide. This is one of the gases that make sewage stink.Though not itself damaging to a pipe’s fabric, it can be converted by certain species of bacteria into sulphuric acid.Pretty well all sewage smells of hydrogen sulphide, though, so for it to be a useful telltale you need to know just howmuch is a sign of trouble. Dr. Hernandez and his colleagues therefore collected samples from 36 sewers in variousstates of decay and started looking.One of their interests was in the mixture of bacteria found in pipes in different states of repair. Rather than culturingthese, a process to which not all species are amenable, they ran them through a mass DNA screening that shows upeverything in a sample. They also measured the acidity of the sewage soaked into the pipe wall near where the samplewas collected and recorded the concentrations in the air there of hydrogen sulphide, methane and carbon dioxide.

According to this article, what is damaging to the sewer pipe’s fabric?hydrogen sulphide (A)bacteria (B)sulphuric acid (C)sticking plasters (D)

Which of the following statements is true?The underground sewers have saved more lives than any medical procedure. (A)Many old sewers have been neglected and are in dire need of repair. (B)Dr. Hernandez and his colleagues made cultures from (C)the mixture of bacteria found in sewer pipes.The (D)DNA screening of the samples was focused on bacteria only.

What did Dr. Hernandez and his team look for to detect signs of trouble in sewers ?hydrogen (A)hydrogen sulphide (B)carbon dioxide (C)hydrogen dioxide (D)

(D)請依下文回答第46 題至第50 題Research into behavioral economics has shown that our assessment of what something is worth to us can bedirectly, and predictably, influenced. This is the illusion of the free lunch, something humans are known 46 evenwhen economic theory would clearly suggest we select a more valuable option at a small cost. Researchers also foundhow we sometimes operate on social norms, while other times we fall into market norms. The difference is in whetherthere is a price attached to something. If a friend invites you over for dinner, she will probably appreciate it if you bringa nice bottle of wine along (social norms). However, if instead you throw $20 (the price of a nice bottle of wine) incash on the table and say “thanks for a lovely dinner,” she would most likely 47 (market norms). Mixing socialnorms and market norms inappropriately often leads to irrational behavior and, possibly, even to conflict or 48 .Our irrational behavior is not just random though. The scientific experiments are 49 . Each time we are faced witha similar situation, we tend to behave in a similarly irrational way. So, next to the bad news that we are not nearly asrational as we might have thought (or hoped), there is also good news in that we can understand and 50 ourirrational behavior, at least to some extent. This, in turn, can help us improve our decision-making and change ourbehavior for the better.
