Ford has now announced it will do the same.Three years ago, the company introduced the Think City t
8、wo-seater car and a golf cart(高尔夫车) called the THINK, or Think neighbor. It hoped to sell 5,000 cars each year and 10,000 carts. But a lack of demand means only about 1,000 of the cars have been produced, and less than 1,700 carts have been sold so far in 2002.“The bottom line is we dont believe tha

10、mited range, of about 100 miles.The very expensive batteries also mean electric cars cost much more than petrol-powered alternatives. An electric Toyota RAV4 EV vehicle costs over $ 42,000 in the US, compared with just $17,000 for the petrol version. Toyota and Nissan are now the only major auto man

20、Happy Country?Do you live in a happy country? Chances are strong that you do. Results of a recent study have shown that many people around the world are happier now than in the past. The study is called the World Values Survey. Researchers responsible for the study are based at the University of Mic
21、higan Institute for Social Research in the United States.The researchers gathered information from opinion studies done in more than ninety countries or territories. Those studies were completed between nineteen eighty-one and two thousand seven. University of Michigan political scientist Ronald Ing
22、lehart directed the World Values Survey. Mister Inglehart says the results surprised him. He said it is widely believed that it is nearly impossible for happiness levels for a whole country to improve. He said many earlier studies have suggested that happiness levels do not really change.Denmark was
23、 found to be the worlds happiest country. Mister Inglehart notes that Denmarks health care is good and few Danes are hungry. Zimbabwe was rated as the least happy country. Zimbabweans have suffered from political and social unrest.Other nations in the top ten for happiness include Iceland, Switzerla
24、nd, the Netherlands, Canada and Colombia. Colombia suffers from violence in some areas. But Mister Inglehart says Colombians share strong family, friendship and religious ties.

25、eakness.The researchers compared the most recent World Values Survey with information from a study completed in nineteen forty-six. Several areas showed rising happiness levels. They include India, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and South Korea.Over the years, Indias economy has grown. An imp
26、roved financial situation is an important sign of happiness, the political scientist says. But living in a country that is becoming more democratic may be more important. So may acceptance of minorities. Mister Inglehart says the study shows a strong link between happiness and freedom to choose how
27、life is lived. It shows that equality between men anti women is another reason.Mister Inglehart says Northern Ireland is doing well financially and moving toward sexual equality. He also says the area has the traditional bases of friendship, family ties and religion. Northern Ireland has suffered vi
28、olence in the past. But he says most people there live a normal life today.Some places showed less happiness than in the past. They were Austria, Belgium, Britain and the former West Germany. However, Mister Inglehart says these areas were still in the top twenty-five percent for happiness last year
29、. And, he says that rating still shows a good level of satisfaction.（分数：15.00）(1).What is the result of world Values Survey?（分数：3.00）A.Many people around the world are happier now than in the past.B.People feel less happiness now than in the past.C.Few areas showed rising happiness.D.The level of sa

33、als.Research in the Journal of the American Medical Association found examples of web gossip by trainee doctors sharing private patient stories and details.Over half of 78 US medical schools studied had reported cases of students posting unprofessional content online.One in 10 of these contained fra
34、nk violations of patient confidentiality.Most were blogs, including one on Facebook, containing enough clinical detail that patients could potentially be identified.Many postings included profanity and discriminatory language. Sexually suggestive material and photos showing drunkenness or illicit dr
35、ug use were also commonplace. While most incidents resulted in informal warnings, some were deemed serious enough to lead to dismissal from medical school. But few of the medical schools had policies that covered online social networking and blogging.The investigators, led by Dr Katherine Chretien o
36、f the Washington DC VA Medical Center, said medical students may not be aware of how online posting can reflect negatively on medical professionalism or jeopardise their careers.Similarly, patient confidentiality breaches may be unintentional.“Sharing patient stories that are de-identified and respe
