The airline industry was most directly affected by
12、 the attacks, and it was the first to find that no one wanted to insure terrorist risk. Insurance companies immediately increased premiums and cut cover for airlines third-party terror and war liabilities to $ 50m per airline, per “event“. Under pressure from airlines, the American government and th
13、e members of the European Union agreed to become insurers of last resort for airlines war and terrorist liabilities, for a limited period. These government guarantees are due to expire at the end of the month.The American government has already agreed to extend its guarantee for another 60 days. The
14、 EUs transport ministers are meeting next week in Brussels to decide what to do. Insurers and reinsurers are keen for the commercial market to resume the provision of all airline insurance as soon as possible. No wonder: The premiums for such cover have inevitably increased considerably.However, in
15、the case of terrorism, and especially of terrorism in the skies, a number of special factors arise. Some are purely practical: a disaster as sudden and unforeseen as the attacks on the World Trade Center has had destructive effects on the insurance industry. The maximum cover for third-party terrori
16、st risk available in the primary aviation market is now $ 50m, and that is not nearly enough cover risks that are perceived to be much higher since September 11th. Even if the market could offer sufficient cover, another catastrophe on such a scale would be more than the market could cope with.In ad
17、dition, a rare and devastating risk of a political nature is arguably one that it is right for governments to cover, at least in part. In the wake of attacks by Irish terrorists the British government has recognized this point by agreeing to back a mutual fund to cover risks to property from terrori
18、st attack.In the case of the airlines, the appropriate answer is some form of mutual scheme with government backing. In fact, under the code-name “Equitime“, representatives of airlines, insurers and the American government are setting up an insurance vehicle to be financed by airlines and reinsured
19、 by the government. Governments would guarantee the funds excess. risk, but their role would diminish as the fund grew.Setting something up will take time. So, to bridge the gap, governments will have to remain insurer of last resort for airlines war and terrorist risk for some time to come.（分数：10.0

24、ted among teachers, researchers and pushy parents. On the one hand, acquiring a new tongue is said to be far easier when young. On the other, teachers complain that children whose parents speak a language at home that is different from the one used in the classroom sometimes struggle in their lesson
25、s and are slower to reach linguistic milestones. Would a 15-month-old child, they wonder, not be better off going to music classes?A study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences may help resolve this question by getting to the point of what is going on in a bilingual c
26、hilds brain, how a second language affects the way he thinks, and thus in what circumstances being bilingual may be helpful. Agnes Kovacs and Jacques Mehler at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste say that some aspects of the cognitive development of infants raised in a bilingual
27、 household must be undergoing acceleration in order to manage which of the two languages they are dealing with.The aspect of cognition in question is part of what is termed the brains “executive function”. This allows people to organise, plan, prioritise activity, shift their attention from one thin
28、g to another and suppress habitual responses. Bilingualism is common in Trieste which, though Italian, is almost surrounded by Slovenia. So Dr. Kovacs and Dr. Mehler looked at 40 “preverbal” seven-month-olds, half raised in monolingual and half in bilingual households, and compared their performance
29、s in a task that needs control of executive function.First, the babies were trained to expect the appearance of a puppet on a screen after they had heard a set of meaningless words invented by the researchers. Then the words, and the location of the puppet, were changed. When this was done, the babi
30、es who speak only one language had difficulty overcoming their learnt response, even when the researchers gave them further clues that a switch had taken place. The bilingual babies, however, found it far easier to switch their attention counteracting the previously learnt, but no longer useful resp
31、onse.Monitoring languages and .keeping them separate is part of the brains executive function, so these findings suggest that even before a child can speak, a bilingual environment may speed up that functions development. Before rushing your offspring into bilingual kindergartens, though, there are
32、a few cautions. For one thing, these extraordinary cognitive benefits have been demonstrated so far only in “crib” bilinguals those living in households where two languages are spoken routinely. The researchers speculate that it might be the fact of having to learn two languages in the same setting
33、that requires greater use of executive function. So whether those benefits apply to children who learn one language at home, and one at school, remains unclear.（分数：10.00）(1).Who are probably pushing young children to study a new language?A Parents.

Much of the urgency for the program stems from the private-sector
39、plunge in summer jobs for teenagers over the past few years. Its no secret that the recession walloped teens jobs as much as it did their parents. But some economists find the clamor for public jobs programs a little ironic, given last years midrecession minimum wage increase, which may have reduced
40、 teen employment even beyond the recessionary drop. Before the minimum wage jumped to $ 7.25 an hour last summer, University of California-Irvine economist David Neumark estimated that it would lead to an additional 300 000 job losses for teens and young adults. The 2009 wage increase was set in mot
41、ion in a better labor market in May 2007, when Congress voted to boost the minimum from $ 5.15 an hour to $ 7.25 an hour over the course of the next two years. Its hard to parse the jobs lost because of the recession and those lost because of the minimum wage increase-theres no direct evaluation of
42、the impact of the wage increase yet-but its likely that raising the wage floor contributed to the record-high teen unemployment rates, Neumark says. “Almost everyone accepts that minimum wages decrease employment or likely increase unemployment of the least-skilled,“ he says. Neumark advocated for d
43、elaying last years increase. The unemployment rate for teenagers was 25.4 percent in April, compared with 9.9 percent overall, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Teens generally have higher unemployment rates. In November 2007, the month before the start of the recession, the unemployment
44、rate for the overall population was 4. 7 percent, versus 16. 2 percent for workers aged 16 to 19. Teen employment has been declining for some time. The percentage of teens with jobs has fallen from about 57 percent in 1989 to about 40 percent in 2007 (both dates reflect healthy economies). The reaso
45、ns are diverse. For one thing, increased school enrollment appears to account for about a third of that decline, according to the Economic Policy Institute. “For teens, there has been a remarkable long-term shift from summer employment to summer enrollment,“ reports EPI economist Heidi Shierholz. On
46、e of the critical issues for job-seeking teens is the changing face of the competition, which is increasingly skilled. “Not only are they competing with each other for available positions, but they are competing with recent college graduates and job seekers who have two or more years of on-the-job e

48、eople are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But its interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood arent in some small, subconscious way co
