More than 10 chip plants are being built,each costing millions of US dollars.The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment______(62)and technology owners-mainly______(63)Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry,the country admits the US $14 million investment is still rather small.This country is developing______(64)technologies.Most of the investment will be spent on setting_______(65)with technology and intellectual property owners.

  Why India Needs Its Dying Vultures
  The vultures（秃鹰）in question may look ugly and threatening , but the sudden sharp decline in three
  species of India'S vultures is producing alarm rather than celebration,and it presents the world with a new
  kind of environmental problem.The dramatic__________(51)in vulture numbers is causing widespread
  disruption to people living in the__________(52)areas as the birds.It is also causing serious public health
  problems__________(53)the Indian sub-continent.
  While their reputation and appearance may be unpleasant to many Indians,vultures have___________(54)
  played a very important role in keeping towns and villages all over India___________(55).It is because they
  feed on dead cows.In India,cows are sacred animals and are___________(56) left in the open when they
  die in thousands upon thousands every year.
  The disappearance of the vultures has___________(57)an explosion in the numbers of wild dogs
  feeding on the remains of these___________(58)animals. There are fears that rabies（狂犬症）may increase as
  a result. And this terrifying disease may ultimately（最终）affect humans in the region,___________(59)wild
  dogs are its main carriers.Rabies could also spread to other animal species, __________(60)an even
  greater problem in the future.
  The need for action is___________(61),so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution
  to this serious vulture problem?Scientists are trying to___________(62)the disease causing the birds'
  deaths and,if possible,develop a cure.
  Large-scale vulture___________(63)were first noticed at the end of the l980s in India. A population
  survey at that time showed that the three species of vultures had declined___________(64)over 90 per
  cent. All three species are now listed as"critically endangered".As most vultures lay only single eggs and
  ___________(65)about five years to reach maturity,reversing their population decline will be a long and dif-
  ficult exercise.

  Smoking can Increase Depressive Symptoms in Teens
  While some teenagers may use cigarettes to "self-medicate"（自我治疗）against the blues（忧郁）,sci-
  entists at the University of Toronto and the University of Montreal have found that smoking may actually
  ______________
  (51)depressive symptoms in some teens.
  "This observational study is one of the few to examine the perceived ______________(52)benefits of
  smoking among teens,"says lead researcher Michael Chaiton,a research associate at the Ontario Tobacco
  Research Unit of the University of Toronto."_______________(53)cigarettes may appear to have self-medicating
  effects or to improve mood,in the long_______________(54)we found that teens who started to smoke reported
  higher depressive symptoms."
  As part of the study,some 662 high school teenagers completed up to 20 questionnaires about their use
  of cigarettes to ______________
  (55)mood.Secondary schools were selected to provide a mix of French and
  English participants,urban and rural schools,and schools ______________(56)in high,moderate and low so-
  cioeconomic neighbourhoods.
  Participants were divided into three
  ______________ (57):never smokers;smokers who did not use ciga-
  rettes to self-medicate,improve mood or physical
  ______________ (58);smokers who used cigarettes to self-
  medicate.Depressive symptoms were measured using a scale that asked how often participants felt too tired
  to do things;had
  ______________ (59)going to sleep or staying asleep;felt unhappy,sad,or depressed;felt
  hopeless about the future;felt anxious or tense;and worried too much about things.
  " Smokers who used cigarettes as mood
  ______________( 60 ) had higher risks of elevated（提升）depres-
  sive symptoms______________ (61)teens who had never smoked,"says co-researcher Jennifer O'Loughlin,a
  professor at the University of Montreal Department of Social and Preventive Medicine."Our study found that
  teen smokers who reported emotional benefits from smoking are_______________(62)higher risk of developing
  depressive symptoms."
  The______________ (63)between depression and'smoking exists______________(64)among teens that use
  cigarettes to feel better."It's ______________(65)to emphasize that depressive symptom scores were higher
  among teenagers who reported emotional benefits from smoking after they began to smoke,"says Dr. Chaiton.

  Batteries Built by Viruses
  What do chicken pox,the common cold,the flu,and AIDS have in common?They're all diseases caused by viruses,tiny microorganisms that can pass from person to person. It's no wonder that when most people think about viruses,finding ways to steer clear of viruses is what's on people's minds.
  Not everyone runs from the tiny disease carriers,though. In Cambridge,Massachu- setts,scientists have discovered that some viruses can be helpful in an unusual way. They are putting viruses to work,teaching them to build some of the world's smallest rechargeable batteries.
  Viruses and batteries may seem like an unusual pair,but they're not so strange for engi-neer Angela Beicher,who first came up with the idea. At the Massachusetts Institute of
  Technology(MIT)in Cambridge,she and her collaborators bring together different areas of science in new ways.In the case of the virus-built batteries,the scientists combine what they know about biology,technology and production techniques.
  Beicher's team includes Paula Hammond,who helps put together the tiny batteries,and
  Yet-Ming Chiang,an expert on how to store energy in the form of a battery.“We're working on things we traditionally don't associate with nature，”says Hammond.
  Many batteries are already pretty small. You can hold A,C and D batteries in your hand. The coin-like batteries that power watches are often smaller than a penny. However, every year,new electronic devices like personal music players or cell phones get smaller than the year before. As these devices shrink,ordinary batteries won't be small enough to fit in-side.
  The ideal battery will store a lot of energy in a small package. Right now,Belcher's model battery,a metallic disk completely built by viruses,looks like a regular watch battery. But inside,its components are very small一so tiny you can only see them with a powerful microscope.
  How small are these battery parts?To get some idea of the size,pluck one hair from your head. Place your hair on a piece of white paper and try to see how wide your hair is一 pretty thin,right?Although the width of each person's hair is a bit different,you could probably fit about 10 of these virus-built battery parts,side to side,across one hair. These micro-batteries may change the way we look at viruses.
  What is Belcher's team doing at present?
  A: It is finding ways to get rid of viruses.
  B: It is mass-producing micro-batteries.
  C: It is making batteries with viruses.
  D: It is analyzing virus genes.
