       The Haitian tsunami gave scientists a chance to find out how well vital and potentially life-saving warning systems were working．

       Noaa’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory has developed a warning system that picks up signals of tsunamis directly from the sea-floor．

       It is called Dart-the Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis．If seismometers（地震仪） detect an earthquake, the Dart buoys（浮标） will determine what is happening to sea levels, and whether a big wave might be on the way．This information is then sent via satellite to a central location which can organize an alarm．Within 50 minutes of the Haiti earthquake, this system was able to issue an alarm to other countries in the Caribbean to say that a small tsunami had been caused to start, and that was unlikely to affect them．

       Dr Bernard said, “The first 30 minutes following the earthquake, we have to rely on education．” The critical aspects of this are: do you feel the earthquake; do you see the ocean draw down; and do you hear that loud roar? If so, you should run for higher ground．

       “But after the first few minutes, it’s crucial that we have the technology—the measurements to avoid unnecessary evacuation（疏散撤离）and tell people when it is safe to return．” Right now, there are 50 of these Dart buoys all over the globe—four of which are in the Caribbean．

       Dr Bernard says that, with 75 to 100 buoys worldwide, this system could provide global tsunami warnings within one hour．

       “That’s for everywhere we know that tsunamis have happened．If we wanted to go to half an hour detection, we could probably double or multiply by four times that number,” he said．

       “In some countries, including Haiti, there may not be enough resources to support a specific tsunami warning centre for something that happens so infrequently．”

       He said that this system was relatively inexpensive to fix and operate．

       “To get it down to an hour for everywhere affected would cost $50m initial investment and then 10% of that to maintain it,” he said．

       “That’s not a terribly expensive system considering the potential savings of lives．”

       B．We can’t escape the danger of tsunami within 30 minutes following the earthquake．

       C．Each country can easily afford a tsunami warning centre though it seldom happens．

       The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its website, a step being debated across the industry that nearly every major newspaper has so far feared to take．

       Starting in early 2011, visitors to NYTimes．com will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a standard and fixed fee for unlimited access．Subscribers to the newspaper’s print edition will receive full access to the site．

       But executives of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading．They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and reader demand．Still, publishers fear that money from digital subscriptions would not make up for the resulting loss of audience and advertising income．

       NYTimes．com is by far the most popular newspaper site in the country, with more than 17 million readers a month in the United States, according to Nielsen Online, and analysts say it is the leader in advertising income, as well．That may make it better positioned than other general-interest papers to charge—and also gives The Times more to lose if the move produces an opposed result．

       The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year, searching for common ground between pro-and-anti pay campaigns—a debate mirrored in dozens of media-watching blogs-- and the system will not go into effect until January 2011．Executives said they were not bothered by the possibility of absorbing barbs（挖苦） for moving cautiously．

       “There’s no prize for getting it quick,” said Janet L．Robinson, the company’s president and chief executive．“There’s more of a prize for getting it right．”

       Andy Tomas is proof of the typical case that life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver．

       “A lot of teachers say, ‘Don’t drink,’ but I’m not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it,” Andy says．“I just say, ‘Don’t get in a car．’”

       As an 18-year-old, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words．He has spoken to more than 2500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence．

       One year ago, Andy, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away．He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken．He was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and remained in an unconscious state and on life support for nearly three weeks．His skull was opened to reduce pressure on his brain．

       At Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, Doctor Erin Leahy initially found Andy unable to move the right side of his body．But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building．Leahy called that an inspiration and a surprise．

       Yet Andy’s recovery is incomplete．Brain and muscular therapy（治疗） has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with right hand．

       In the process of recovery, Andy has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story．Encouraged by his doctor, he began to attending meetings, delivering speeches．

       He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight．“I feel like I know how to talk to people．” He said．And his recovery and visible injury help him draw serious attention from students．

       Drunk driving, he tells students, is like playing gambles．“You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen．”

       Now his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym．Mentally, he says, “ I’m a lot happier in my life．”
