BERLIN — With the crisis in Japan raising fears about nuclear power, Germany and Switzerland said on Monday that they would reassess(再次評估) the safety of their own reactors([核] 反應堆).

Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants. She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards.

Germany will put off “the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,” Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. “This moratorium(延緩)will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county’s 17 nuclear power plants.

The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe’s preparedness.

Germany’s foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country’s nuclear plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which strongly supports nuclear power.

A previous government, led by the Social Democrats, passed a law in 2001 to close all the country’s nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel’s government changed that decision last year to extend the lives of the plants by an average of 12 years.

In Switzerland, Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards “particularly in terms of seismic(地震的,與地震相關(guān)的) safety and cooling.”

In Russia, the Prime Minister said his government would “draw conclusions from what’s going on in Japan.”

聽第11段獨白,回答第18~20題。

18.What is the talk mainly about?

C.Collecting information.

19.What should we do to remember someone’s name?

A.Write it down on a piece of paper.

C.Remember his or her last name.

20.What does the speaker suggest to us?

A.Having a rest for twenty minutes.

B.Taking some Vitamins B1 and B2.

C.Doing sports during the break.

聽力原文:(Text 11)

  W:There are many ways in which the memory can be improved.In fact, I believe we all have the ability to remember up to six times more than we do.

  A lot of people find that visualizing information is very helpful.For example, if you are trying to remember a telephone number, imagine it written down on a piece of paper.

  Remembering people’s names is a problem for a lot of people.I recommend that when you are introduced to someone you concentrate on his or her first name.It probably won’t offend anyone if you have to say, “What was your last name again, Sarah?” but Sarah might be upset if you forget her first name.

  Of course, regular breaks are important and it’s better not to work for long periods without taking one, stopping for rest about every twenty minutes is best.

  Finally, take care of yourself physically.Avoid substances like coffee, alcohol or drugs, because they dull the mind.And don’t forget your vitamins-B1 and B2 are particularly good for the memory.
