| The political crisis in Ukraine, where
opposition protesters are burning campfires and setting up tents in the center
of Kiev, is presenting a test for Russia, which gambled heavily on its
neighbor’s presidential election. A defeat of the pro-Moscow candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, would humiliate the Kremlin one year after another former Soviet Republic, Georgia, slipped from its influence, according to observers and political analysts. The Ukrainian upheaval echoes what happened in Georgia, where protests over vote rigging led to the resignation of a Moscow-linked President and a landslide victory of a young, Western-educated and Western-oriented leader. For Moscow, the stakes are even higher in Ukraine. Unlike Georgia, Ukraine shares close ethnic and linguistic ties with Russia; Kiev, Ukraine’s capital, is the cradle of th A. all of the former Soviet Republics betrayed Russia except Ukraine B.

But there’s no question that the crisis is leaving its mark on individuals, especially men. One patient, a fund analyst, came to me recently in a state of great anxiety. "It’s bad, but it might get a lot worse," I recall him saying. The anxiety was expected and appropriate: he had lost a great deal of his (and others’) assets, and like the rest of us he had no idea where the bottom was. I would have been worried if he hadn’t been anxious. Over the course of several weeks, with the help of some anti-anxiety medication, his panic subsi A. a sense of mastery B. a financial meltdown C. a financial profit D. a sense of success [单项选择]The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earth’s resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the broke up of the family, and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth’s atmosphere.

We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. Fossil fuels are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Just think of all the things you can make from oil! If we don’t start thinking ways to face the problem, it will be too late. Catherine Woodstock Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any source of energy.

We really won’t survive unless we start working on cleaner, safer sources of energy. Michael Parkhurst In the past, we consumed too much energy.
