Passage Four One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber—and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to the £30,000 reward money. Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Biebe’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building. She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. ” The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (懷疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接觸). ” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm. Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes. “It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ’Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat. ” Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key. “I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to e out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have e out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (帶上手銬). ” 36. The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means . A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own 37. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because . A. the police called her B. he looked very strange C. he came to the hotel with little luggage D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year’s Eve 38. Vicki’s heart missed a beat because . A. the phone went again B. she would be famous C. the policemen had already arrived D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park 39. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in . A. the passage B. the man’s room C. Vicki’s bedroom D. the top floor room 40. The whole event probably lasted about hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.

The roundworms used for the study are similar to humans in their molecular makeup, raising the possibility that the drugs could also extend the life span of humans. 41 “By finding a class of drugs that delays aging we have found a relationship between the function of the nervous system and aging that was not well understood, ” said Kerry Komfeld, a geneticist at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The findings are detailed this week in the journal Science. The discovery came out of the thesis work by one of Komfeld’s graduate students, Kimberley Evason. About four years ago, Evason began exposing groups of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans to mercially available drugs to see if the drugs would delay aging or promote longevity. 42 Over eight months the scientists tested 20 drugs, all with negative results. Finally they tested the anticonvulsant drug ethosuzimide. Researchers found that the drug extended the life span of roundworms from 16. 7 days to 19. 6 days, a 17 percent increase. 43 The discovery that the drugs extend the life span of roundworms could have important implications fox human aging as well. There are strong similarities on the molecular level between the proteins and genes that constitute the worm and those that make up other animals, including humans. “Many basic processes are highly related, including neural function, insulin signaling, and probably important aspects of the aging process, ” Komfeld said. “There’s every reason to think that these animals an a good model for higher animals, such as people. ” 44 Ethosuzimide, which was developed in the 1950s, is monly used to treat epilepsy, though it is no known precisely how the drug controls convulsions. There is no anecdotal evidence that it has had an antiaglng effect in people. The next step, Komfeld says, is to test if the drugs have an antiaging effect on animal like flies and mice. Very little is known about the aging process. From genetic analysis, researchers have found that an in sulinlike signaling system regulates aging and longevity. A good diet can delay aging and extend a person life span. But scientists know virtually nothing about the effect of drugs on aging. “It’s a big void, ” Konfeld said. In addition to delaying agerelated degenerative changes
