to certain account holders. The result of this policy of secrecy was that a kind of mystique had grown up around Swiss banking. There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers' reluctance to ask awkward questions of depositors. Contributing to the mystique was the view, carefully propagated by the banks themselves, that if this secrecy was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money, and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse overnight.

To many, therefore, it came like a bolt out of the blue, when, in 1977, the Swiss banks announced they had signed a pact with the Swiss National Bank (the Central Bank). The aim of the agreement was to prevent to improper use of the country's bank secrecy laws, and its effect was to curb severely the system of secrecy. The rules which the banks had agreed to observe made the opening of numbered accounts subject to much closer scrutiny than before. The banks would be required, if necessary, to identify the origin of foreign funds going into numbered and other accounts. The idea was to stop such accounts being used for dubious purposes. Also they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax evasion or from crime.

The pact represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules. Although the banks agreed to end relations with clients whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not obliged to inform on a client to anyone, including the Swiss government. To some extent, therefore, the princ iple of secrecy had been maintained.

5.Swiss banks took pride in_B__. A. the number of their accounts B. withholding client information C. being mysterious to the outsiders D. attracting wealthy foreign clients

Where to Live-in the City or the Country

Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. People in the city can seefilms, visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to. Furthermore, if they want to Become scholars, scientists or artists, they can find what they need in the city: libraries, colleges, museums, and so on. The last But not the least important thing I'd like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.

But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country. First, if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature: small streams, high mountains, fresh air, green grass and so on, all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life. Second, in the country, people seem to have more freedom. They can sing high in the field, ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.

Of course, both the city and the country have their disadvantnges. As for the city, there is pollution, noise and heavy traffic. And as far as the country is concerned, its inefficient transportation, delayed news always make people feel isolated.

Compared with cities, the country is relatively backward, but nothing can be com pared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living. Living in the country is very good for your health. With the deveJopment of economy, it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.

A new computer system has been designed to stop ships sinking. The greatest danger to a holed vessel is that flooding of its compartments will make the 26 unstable enough to capsize。 It is estimated that nearly half the ships 27 during the second world war capsized because of loss of 28 .

Pacet Systems of Burlington， Massachusetts， has now refined a system devised by a reserve US Navy officer， Stephen Drabouski， which effectively second guesses the ship. The 29 is programmed with every possible eventuality of flood damage. Once the actural damage is keyed into the computer ， the operator is told by the computer 30 the implications are and what can be done to restabilise the vessel。

Trials on the American aircraft carrier US Midway have 31 that the reaction time to damage can be cut to a fiftieth. An incident was simulated in which the ship was 32 by two Exocet missiles causing flooding to 30 compartments. It took 10 minutes from receipt of the flood damage information in the damage control centre to a full printout of damage effects， 33 counterrneasures and an assessment of the result of the counterrneasures。 In a re-run of the incident without the computer program the damage control officer took four and a quarter hours to establish the 34 of the damage and another four hours 35 a decision could be taken on countermeasures. Although the system can be used to provide 36 control officers with advice they do not，dcourse， have to accept the informatiOn。Quite often the 37 solution\。 When that

The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ― Palaeolithic Man‘, ?Neolithic Man‘, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ?Legless Man‘. Histories of the time will go something like this: ?in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn‘t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.‖

The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird‘s-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ?I joined the navy to see the world, and
