New York State has passed the USA’s first state law banning motorists talking on hand-held cell phones(手机). The ban will begin the following November 1, although drivers caught using hand-held cell phones will be given only warnings during the first month.
First-time violators will face a $100 fine. A second time calls for a $200 fine and every violation after that will cost $500.
At least a dozen localities(地方) have established bans, starting in 1999; and 40 states have had bans proposed but not passed. At least 23 countries, including Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones.
There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State.
“To think that I’m not going to use a cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop(膝上电脑), I still can read a paper, I can still change my pants(裤子) while driving 65 mph. I think there’s just something wrong.” An official said.
Other critics noted that other things like eating, drinking coffee and applying makeup while driving posed(造成)at least as much of a concern (关注). They suggested that the ban include a broader range of things.

C
A few days ago, he was just Colonel (上校) Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face. But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei's smile was seen across the world above the magic words: "China's first spaceman".
The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9am last Wednesday by China's Shenzhou V spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23am the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.
Yang was satisfied with his job. "I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful," he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.
Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air. He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later. While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China's national flag and the United Nations' flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.
Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk. He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitational forces (重力) on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes. He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
"I eat all of my meals at the space programme's dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten," he said. "I've never met his teachers." But becoming China's first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile. "When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn't help feeling excited," he said. "I decided that I had to fly it."
To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero. One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum (网上论坛) said: "Yang's trip is a giant leap forward for China." Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005. China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab.
55. What is the main idea of the story?
A. China's first manned space flight.
B. A hero with great courage
C. The first Chinese man in space
D. How Yang Liwei became China's first spaceman
56. How long did each of Yang's orbits take on average?
A. 1 hour. B. 1.5 hours. C. 6 hours. D. The story didn't mention.
57. Why did the writer mention the gravitational forces on takeoff and landing?
A. Because it was the most dangerous part of the space flight.
B. Because it was a very special experience.
C. To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flight
D.To show that Yang is brave.
D
TINA and Thomas Sjogren were the only the fourth and fifth people to reach the earth's three poles. The couple reached the South and North Poles in 2002 after they conquered (征服) Qomolangma, which is sometimes known as the earth's third pole. And Tina is the first woman to achieve the goal.Tom, 43, was born in Sweden and Tina, 44, is from Czechoslovakia (捷克斯洛伐克). They now lives in New York.
Years ago, the couple were flying across the North Atlantic on their way to Europe. Tina looked out her window and was amazed by the vast amount of space in Greenland (格陵兰岛)."The sky burst into different colours, and auroras (极光) flew all around us," she remembered. "I imagined what it would be like to step down there and start walking endlessly, all alone in such a place." She thought: "If this is what Iceland and Greenland are like, how marvellous (奇妙) then must the Arctic be?"She turned to her husband Thomas, shook him awake, and said: "Honey, let's go to the Poles!"Tina's idea would not be the couple's first adventure. They had already climbed Mount Qomolangma in 1999. The pair soon made a plan to visit both the North and South Poles on skis (雪橇), travelling totally unsupported.
On February 2, 2002, the couple reached the South Pole. They had flown to the Antarctica from Chile and then skiied for 63 tiring days. Their journey covered 2,000 kilometres. After allowing just 35 days for recovery and preparation, they set out again on their journey to the North Pole."You are so wasted, and so tired after an unsupported expedition (远征) to the South Pole," Tina remembered. "You don't know if you could do another one right away."On May 29, as the couple watched with weak breath, the numbers on their global positioning systems (GPS, 全球定位系统) showed that their goal had at last been achieved. They had reached the North Pole.
A lot of people thought the back-to-back journey was impossible, and as the couple admitted, "deep inside we're not sure either." Their philosophy (哲学), however, means pushing the limits of what can be achieved. "We had to try at least," they said. Without the help of dogs, boats, or supplies dropped from planes, it was only their strength and willpower that allowed them to ski and swim their way to the two Poles. But that valuable experience did not come without a price. The difficulties they faced were typical for any polar journey: polar bears, thin ice, open water, getting lost, and bitterly cold temperatures.
Choose the best answer according to the story:
58.What were Tina and Thomas Sjogren so famous for?
A. They were among the few people who reached the three poles.
B. They made a back-to-back journey to the North and South Poles.
C. Tina is the first woman to reach the three poles.
D. They were the only people that conquered the three poles.
59.Why did they plan to travel to the poles?
A. They hoped to be famous. B. They liked adventures.
C. They were amazed by the vast amount of space in Greenland.
D. They were energetic.
60.How long did it take them to reach the North Pole?
A. 63 days. B. 35 days. C. Over three months. D. Over two months.
61.Where did they start their travel to the Arctic?
A. Greenland. B. Chile. C. New York. D. The story didn't say.
62.What did they depend on to arrive at the two poles?
A. The help of their dog. B. The supplies dropped from planes.
C. Their experience. D. Their strength and willpower.

last week my parents and I took a two- day trip to Emei
Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it’s famous
mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather
was fine. It was about noon when we reached at the foot of
the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we
climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples
and told stories. On the way up I was busy taking picture
since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly.
Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top
of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was
good. I was tired that I fell asleep the moment my head
touched the pillow.
