Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note*阅读理解。Youre in your office when you learn theres someone with a gun wandering outside. You can hear gunshots and screams. What do you do?Thats the challenge for users of a new virtual (虚拟)reality program called SurviVR, designed to train employees how to deal with an active shooter situation in the workplace. The program works with HTC Vive, the virtual reality headset released earlier this year.An active shooter situation is when an armed person or people actively shoot in a small, populated area with the intention to kill. There were 20 such situations in the United States last year and 20 the year before, according to FBI statistics, resulting in a total of 231 deaths. This year saw the deadliest active shooter situation in US history, with 49 people killed in a nightclub in Orlando.In the training situation, users have four choices. They can lock themselves in the office. They can hide, perhaps in the office closet. They can run for an exit. Or they can use something in the officea puter or a cup a pair of scissors-as a weapon to fight the shooter. This is an improvement on standard active shooter training. Gallo says, which typically teachers people to lock themselves in place and hide. The lock down method is often ineffective, he says, and has resulted in many deaths in recent years.In the trainings basic level, no one gets killed. But as the trainings bee more advanced, players who make a wrong choice be shot. Theres no blood; the screen simply turns black slowly.If this sounds terrifying, thats the point, says Gallo. There are plenty of training programs to teach employees how to deal with workplace violence, sometimes involving role play with toy guns. But these trainings are basically games. Gallo says, with employees relaxed and even enjoying themselves. To teach people what they really need to know for an active shooter situation, they need to be scared.SurviVR will take the fear and turn it into confidence. Gallo says.1.

More than 6.8 million Chinese and foreign tourists the region in the first half of this year. Tourism ine during that period rose to 7 billion yuan. More tourists are expected to around Tibet in the second half of this year. The region is hosting the China Tibet Tourism Culture Expo, featuring series of festivals. Currently, foreigners need a special travel to tour the region in addition a Chinese visa. They have to wait for the permit . It is cheerful the local authorities have promised to shorten the time of obtaining it.难项分析：第一处：visitvisited考查动词的时态。根据本句中的时间状语“in the first half of this year”及下一句可知，此处叙述的是过去的事情，因此应用一般过去时。故将visit改为visited。第五处：series前加a考查冠词。a series of 为固定短语，意为“一系列”。故在series前加a。第九处：whatthat考查主语从句的连接词。本句中，It作形式主语，其后的从句为真正的主语；主语从句结构完整，不缺成分，应用that引导。故将what改为that。*
