A new anti-cheating system for counting the judges' scores in ice skating is flawed,
according to leading sports specialists.Ice skating's governing body announced the new
rules last week after concerns that a judge at the Winter Olympics may have been unfairly
influenced,
Initially the judges in the pairs figure-skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake
City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair,even though they had a fall during
their routine.But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for falling to
reveal that she had been put under pressure to vote for the Russians.The International
Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up
（亚军）.
The ISU,skating's governing body,now says it intends to change the rules.In
future 14 judges will judge each event,but only 7 of their scores一selected at random一will
count.
The ISU won't finally approve the new system until it meets in June but already
U.K.Sport,the British Government's sports body,has expressed reservations."I remain
to be convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone
concerned with ethical sport is looking for",says Jerry Bingham,U.K.Sport's head of
ethics（伦理）.
A random system can still be manipulated,says Mark Dixon,a specialist on sports
statistics from the Royal Statistical Society in London."The score of one or two judges who
have been nobbled（受到贿赂）may still be in the seven selected."
Many other sports that have judges,including diving,gymnastics,and synchronized
swimming,have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores.If a judge was
under pressure to favour a particular team,they would tend to give it very high scores and
mark down the opposition team,so their scores wouldn't count.It works for diving,says
Jeff Cook,a member of the international government body's technical committee."If you
remove those at the top and bottom you're left with those in the middle,so you're getting a
reasonable average."
Since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney,diving has tightened up in its system still further.
Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions.
Neither panel knows the scores given by the other."We have done this to head off any
suggestion of bias,"says Cook:
Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options."This should involve examining the
way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating（裁定）on matter of style
and presentation,"he says.

Arctic Melt
Earth’s North and South Poles are famous for being cold and icy.Last year,however,the amnount of ice
in the Arctic Ocean（北冰洋）fell to a record low.
Normally,ice builds in Arctic waters around the North Pole each winter and shrinks（缩小）during the
summer. But for many years,the amount of ice left by the end of summer has been declining.
Since 1979,each decade has seen an 11.4 percent drop in end?of-summer ice cover. Between 1981 and
2000,ice in the Arctic lost 22 percent of its thickness,becoming I.13 meters thinner.
Last summer,Arctic sea ice reached its thinnest levels yet.By the end of summer 2007,the ice had
shrunk to cover just 4.2 million square kilometers.That's 38 percent less area than the average cover at that
time of year. And it's a very large 23 percent below the previous record low,which was set just 2 years ago.
This continuing trend has made scientists concerned.
There may be several reasons for the ice melt, says Jinlun Zhang, an oceanographer（海洋学家）at the
University of Washington at Seattle.Unusually strong winds blew through the Arctic last summer. The winds
pushed much of the ice out of the central Arctic,leaving a large area of thin ice and open water.
Scientists also suspect that fewer clouds cover the Arctic now than in the past.Clearer skies allow more
sunlight to reach the ocean.The extra heat warms both the water and the atmosphere.In parts of the Arctic
Ocean last year,surface temperatures were 3.5℃warmer than average and 1.5℃warmer than the previous
record high.
With both air and water getting warmer,the ice is melting from both above and below. In some parts of
the Beaufort Sea,north of Alaska and western Canada,ice that measured 3.3 meters thick at the beginning
of the summer measured just 50 centimeters by season's end.
The new measurements suggest that melting is far more severe than scientists have seen by just looking
at ice covcrfrom above,says Donald K. Perovich,a geophysicist at the U.S.Army Cold Regions Research
and Engineering Laboratory in Hanover,N.H.
Some scientists fear that the Arctic is stuck in a warming trend from which it may never recover.The Beaufort Sea mentioned in Paragraph 7 is an example to show_________.
A:how acetirate the new measurements are
