8、sales of his detectors-which were based on a kind of golf ball finder-to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia. McCormick, 57, was convicted（判罪）of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London. “Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equi

9、pment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick.“You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.” The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each,

10、 were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.

15、f Dome, the famous 2,000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线). During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes（尖状物）that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the s

16、pikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again, inch by inch, for 13 days. Wellmans job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone.

17、 first met, they never talked about climbing.“He knew that was how I got injured.” Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.

23、uite sometimes means very, while in British English it means fairly. So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I dont just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on.
