Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.The United States was mad at the Japanese so they made many Japanese-Americans leave their homes.They were put in camps with barbed wire around the outside of the camps.
Many Japanese-American young men were called into the army.Some of them joined the US Military Intelligence Service or MIS.The MIS was a secret group that fought the Japanese soldiers.This secret group translated important maps and papers.They questioned Japanese prisoners.Another task they did was to translate diaries written in Japanese.
Sometimes Japanese soldiers hid in caves to hide from the Americans.The MIS would try to get the scared soldiers to leave the caves.This was known as"cave flushing."Some of the soldiers would give up and leave the caves.
Other Japanese would jump to their deaths.
The MIS never got awards for their efforts until the year 2000.Then they were rewarded for their brave acts in World War II.It took almost sixty years for them to be honored.
Gayle Yamada has made a film about the brave Japanese-American MIS.The film is called"Uncommon Courage"and is a true story.Hopefully,Yamada's film and the movie,"Pearl Harbor,"will not cause people to hate Japanese-Americans or any other race.
The letters MIS stood for
A.Missing Infantry Soldiers
B.Military Intelligence Service
C.Military Intelligence Soldiers
D.Military Infamy Service

A Minor Microsurgery Last year,Sean Martinovich,from Whitianga,had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem.But the operation left half his face paralysed.He talked with a slur,sometimes dribbled(流 口水)out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly.Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground,when they laughed he could not laugh with them.Without a smile,he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week,6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean's legs and transplanted it into his face.On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches."We'll cut those nerve branches and then we'll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that' s been cut on the good side of his face."Doctor Bartlett said before the operation."If this was not fixed he conld face physical and emotional problems as he got older,"Doctor Bartlett said."Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis.It's easy for people,especially children,to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face." Sean is not smiling yet.Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back.Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich,said they had been through a year of hell.But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it,said Mrs Martinovich.They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much.For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.For Sean's parents,it is a miracle.
According to the passage,which of the following is true? A:Sean Martinovich couldn't run around with the other boys in the playground now. B:Hopefully,Sean Martinovich can smile over the next three months. C:Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich don't believe the technology will restore the cheeky smile. D:For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is just a minor and easy case.

Can Mobile Phones Cause Disease?
1 "Mobile phone killed my man,"screamed one headline last year.Also came claims that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss.And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly(假定地)showing how mobile phones heat the brain. 2 For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worrying times.But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you will hear a different story.According to them, there is no evidence that mobile phones cause cancer or any other illness in people. 3 What we do have,however,are some results suggesting that mobile phones' emissions have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can't be explained by the general radiation biology.And it's only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we'll be able to say for sure what mobile phones might be doing to the head. 4 One of the odd effects comes from the now famous"memory loss"study.Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave emissions of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were just as good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen whether or not the device was switched on.Preece says he still can't comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive abilities."I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory,"he says. 5 Another expert,Tattersall,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss.One result, for instance, suggests that nerve cell synapses(突触) exposed to microwaves become more-rather than less-receptive(感受的)to undergoing changes linked to memory formation. 6 Hopefully,microwaves might turn out to be good for you.It sounds crazy,but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California, found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical.
The safety problem with mobile phones has_______. A:difterent messages B:is hoped C:public attention D:solid evidence E:attracted public attention F:public anxiety
