WASHINGTON:A federal judge ruled yesterday that Microsoft Corp. broke US antitrust law by abusing its monopoly in personal computer operating systems.

District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said Microsoft violated key parts of the Sherman Act, a finding that will lead to consideration of penalties over the coming months that could include breaking up the software giant.

“The court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anti-competitive means and attempted to monopolize the web-browser market,”Jackson wrote in a 43-page ruling.

In findings of fact issued five months ago, Jackson had already found that Microsoft’s behaviour hurt consumers, computer makers and other companies.

Microsoft officials said they plan to appeal the ruling, and that they are confident Microsoft will ultimately be victorious.

“We will seek an expedited appeal of this ruling,” Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla said.

“We continue to believe that the legal system will ultimately rule in our favour and uphold our ability to develop new and innovative software products,”Pilla said.

Jackson’s ruling against Microsoft, was widely expected based on his

preliminary finding late last year that Microsoft abused a monopoly in PC operating systems to harm consumers and rivals.

Notes:

1.rule-decide

2.Microsoft broke law – violated antitrust law

3.Sherman Act- In the United States in 1890, Sherman John created Sherman Act

Antitrust Law intended to prevent the company’s unfairly controlling prices, to stop large firms taking over their competitors.

4.penalties-punishment

5.appeal- formal request for a decision to be changed

Questions:

1.Write a headline for this article.

2.What was Jackson’s ruling against Microsoft?

3.How will this ruling affect Microsoft?

4.According to Jackson, who were the victims of Microsoft’s behaviour?

5.How did Microsoft react to this ruling?

Article one:

Search abandoned for missing Prof

MERIDA, Mexico, July 31-Local authorities today abandoned a massive search for missing American archeologist John Reed, who disappeared five weeks ago.

Yucatan state police commander Luis Carillo said the search, involving helicopters, dogs and hundreds of army troops, had covered nearly 500 square miles but had turned up no trace of the 67-year-old professor renowned for his discoveries of Mayan temple communities in the area.

“The jungle is thick and he could have gone anywhere in search of his artifacts,” Carillo said.

“He was old. The weather, it is very hot. Maybe he got sick or lost,”the police commander said. “We now presume he is dead.”

But the professor’s wife, Dr. Alana Reed, who has moved too slowly on the ase and had ignored the possibility of foul play.

“He knew the area too well to get lost. I believe he may have been murdered,”she said. “The police, who didn’t even start investigating until a week after he was gone, won’t consider that possibility because it might reflect on the safety of the area and how they do their jobs.”

Dr. John Reed, who retired five years ago, was the leader of the archeological team that completed the excavation of the extensive Uximalan ruins spread 40 miles south of Merida.

It is believed he was heading to those ruins when he left his hotel in Merida on June 22. Reed has been missing ever since.

Article two:

Hopes dim for missing archeologist

Fears he may have died among the ruins he discovered

MERIDA, Mexico, July 31- They met in the Mayan ruins of Uximalan. She was a student volunteer on a summer project and he was the eminent archeologist John Reed. In the intellectual excitement of the search for a buried Indian culture, they found an emotional excitement of their own that lasted through 32 years of marriage.

But now the search is for Reed himself, missing for five weeks among the scattered jungle ruins he helped unveil.

And Alana Reed fears that her husband’s life, so long tied to these 1400-year-old remains of a dead empire, may have ended among them.

Police and local army units have already abandoned the search, but Alana and a small group of friends and former associates continue to comb the heavy jungle south of Merida.

They hope somehow, against all reason, he will be found alive and once again clap his hands in characteristic eagerness to set off for a new dig.

“Even after he retired, John retained a kind of boyish enthusiasm about his work,” Mrs. Reed said. “That’s why he came down here ahead of me, on his own. He has spent 35 years going through the Mayan ruins of Yucatan and he couldn’t wait another week for my vacation to start.”

Mrs. Reed, still a fulltime professor at the Carnellon Institute of New York, fingered a Mayan shell ornament as she talked in her room at the Merida Hotel. In one corner lay the battered suitcase that her husband had left behind when he stepped out of the hotel on June 22. “We have come back here almost every year since that first summer,” she said. “It was like a well to which we could always return for professional inspiration and for the renewal of personal memories.”

But since his retirement five years ago, the two Dr. Reeds have returned without the resources of the institute and the army of coworkers, students and diggers that participated in their early expeditions. Mrs. Reed said her husband preferred it that way.

“Oh, he relished the intellectual challenge of putting all the pieces together into a coherent picture, but also he loved the excitement of digging something meaningful out of the dust with his own fingers – contributing one more piece –maybe an important one – to the puzzle.”

This was why he left the hotel alone that day in June – to go off with a trowel and collection bag and “potter about,” as he called it, on the Uximalan ruins.

The police believe he may have taken a taxi cab south of the city , but have been so far unable to find the cab driver who pocked him up.

They say Reed’s age –67 – and the hot, humid conditions of the dense jungle surrounding many of the sites may have been what killed him. They say he probably became confused and lost alone in the jungle, finally expiring from dehydration.

But Mrs. Reed believes the police are reluctant to consider the possibility that her husband was the victim of a crime.

“He knew the area far too well to get lost,” she said.

“I believe he may have been murdered.”

She said it would be embarrassing to have such a famous man killed in the area

they were charged with protecting, so the police have refused to launch a criminal investigation.

“We’ve found that there has been an increase in crime each time we have come back –snatching cameras or taking money at knifepoint from tourists,”she said.

“It was so much safer and friendlier when we first came.”

Mrs. Reed continues the search, going out daily with two dozen private searchers, but has begun to feel there is little hope.

“You just can’t live that long in the jungle. It looks so lush, but actually there is very little to eat or drink.”

And there have been dreams.

“I have seen him, lying at the foot of a wall. His eyes are closed. He is very still. I just can’t tell if he is sleeping or…”Her voice trails off and she stares at the worn Mayan shell in her hands.

It was a gift from her husband, a talisman of life more than then centuries ago and now, perhaps, a relic of a life enriched by the past and now become part of it.

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson 34 课文

Lesson 34 Out of the Blue On a picture-perfect Texas morning, the shuttle Columbia was heading home when tragedy struck, leaving America and the world wondering what went wrong-and honoring the lives of seven brave astronauts. By Evan Thomas 1) Tony Beasley, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology, got up early, along with his wife and mother-in-law, to watch the space shuttle fly overhead. It was a little after 5:45 a.m., California time, 7:45 a.m. at Mission Control1 in Houston, 8:45 a.m. at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Beasley could see the bright glow of the shuttle as it came over California’s Owens Valley, bound for a Florida landing, still 60 miles high, traveling at about 20 times the speed of sound. Then he noticed some bright flashes, just small ones at first. Beasley idly wondered if the shuttle was shedding some debris as it entered the atmosphere. He didn’t make much of it;2 he thought he recalled that space shuttles sometimes lost a few tiles as the craft burned into the atmospnere. But then he noticed a large pulse of light. “It was like a big flare being dropped from the shuttle,” he told Newsweek. “It didn’t seem normal.” 2) A few minutes later, a few hundred miles to the east in Red Oak, Texas, Trudy Orton heard a boom as she stood on her front porch in the brightening morning. She thought it was a natural-gas explosion. “My house shook and windows rattled.” Her dog ran into the house and hid. A neighbor, loading her car, looked up and asked, “What on earth was that?” Orton lo oked up and saw a white streak of smoke across the sky. “It wasn’t a sleek little straight line like the jets make. It was billowing like a puffy cloud.” 3) At the Kennedy Space Center at 9 a.m., ET, the festive crowd-NASA officials, family members of the astronauts, local dignitaries and politicians, even a representative of the Israeli government, on hand to honor Israel’ s first astronaut, Col. Ilan Ramon-eagerly listened for the familiar sonic boom, heralding the arrival of the returning shuttle. But as the skies remained silent, the burble of chatter died down, then grew anxious. At about 9:05, mobile phones began to ring. Suddenly, officials were herding family members into buses. The countdown clock continued to wind down to the scheduled 9:16 landing. But the crowd was already gone. 4) The specialists inside Mission Control were well aware that the complex machines they put into space and then hope to bring home again are potential deathtraps. The rest of us forget, until a tragedy occurs, and the nation and the world are left mourning the loss of the astonishing array of hope and talent that routinely fly aboard the shuttles-113 trips, so far. When the shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas last Saturday morning, it took with it an Air Force colonel and test pilot3 (whose last job had been chief of safety for the astronaut office); a former Eagle Scout fighter jock4 (second in his class at Annapolis); a veteran African-American astronaut making his second trip into space; an India-born woman with a Ph.D. who enjoyed flying aerobatics5; a medical doctor who had performed in the circus as an acrobat; another medical doctor who was a mother, and an Israeli Air Force hero who had bombed Iraq’ s Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981. 5) The seven crew members of the Columbia were finishing a 16-day mission that had gone off without a hitch6, hi between conducting dozens of scientific experiments, there had been plenty of time for stargazing. Astronaut Kalpana Chawla had told reporters how much, on a prior shuttle mission, she had enjoyed “watching the continents go by, the thunderstorms shimmering in the

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson 1 课文

【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial Progress The remaining divisions in American society should not blind us to a half-century of dramatic change By Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom In the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court. Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners? association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association? s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court. But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?” The homeowners didn?t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don?t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might be tempted.” It?s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well. That?s not the only common misconception Americans have ab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another. To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends: A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But it wasn?t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent.
