Passage 21　　 Dream for a car

At the onset of a new year, I always ask my Chinese friends what their expectations to realize that, even than last year, they all dream of owning a car. Most of them hope that sooner or later every Chinese family can acquire a car.

I don’t by any means contest the rights of Chinese people to enjoy the same housing conditions, household appliances and other goods that are available in developed countries. But it seems obvious that many of them have related to the mass ownership of private autos.

I know that it’s not easy to sacrifice our personal comfort and open our minds to consider what is good for an entire society, rather than just for ourselves. But I for one would not contribute to the further pollution of Beijing by owning a car. And if I were to return to Montreal, I would not buy a car there either.

In today’s China owning a car is seen as a symbol of wealth and success. I wish Chinese people would acquire the maturity to reject that idea, and turn their efforts towards developing a good public transportation system. The country needs more trains (light urban commuter lines as well as long-distance trains), more buses and more subways. That is the only way to get out of the traffic jam.

1. According to the passage, most of Chinese hope that sooner or later every Chinese family can possess ________.

A.　　　  a house

B.　　　　 a car

C.　　　  a TV

D.　　　  goods that are available in developed countries

2. Many of people want to own a car without considering _________.

A.　　　  this is a dream

B.　　　  money

C.　　　  the problems related to the mass ownership of private autos

D.　　　 comfort

3.　　　 In today’s China owning a car is seen as a symbol of _________.

A.　　　　  wealth

B.　　　　  success

C.　　　　  maturity

D.　　　　 both A and B

4.　　　 In the writer’s opinion, Chinese people should turn their efforts towards developing ________.

A. a good public transportation system

B. cars housing conditions

C.　　  household

D. appliances

Passage 22　　　Me-Books

In America, where labour costs are so high, “do-it-yourself” is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars, build their own houses. Soon they may also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children’s books with the aid of computers. Although other companies also publish that way, this particular company is very unusual. It “personalizes” the books by having the computer make the reader the leading character in the story. Here is how they do it. Let us say your child is named Jenny. She lives on Oak Drive in St Louis, has a dog named Spot, a cat named Tabby, and three playmates whose names are Betsy, Sandy, and Jody. The computer uses information to fill out a story that has already been prepared and illustrated, The story is then printed with standard equipment as a hardcover book. A child who receives such a book might say, “This book is about me”; the company therefore calls itself the “Me-book Publishing Company”.

Children like the me-books very much because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, “personalization” has been found to be an important tool in developing enthusiasm for reading. Me-books are thus helping a child to learn how to read, by appealing to that natural desire to see his own name in print.

1.　　　 Why do the children like the “me-books”?

A.　　　  Because the main characters are Jenny, her dog, her cat her three playmates.

B.　　　　 Because the company that publishes the books is unusual

C.　　　  Because in the U.S.A. “do it yourself” is a way of life.

D.　　　  Because the children will see familiar names in the books

2.　　　 The books will develop the children’s interest in reading by _______

A.　　　  the interesting stories in them.

B.　　　　 meeting natural desire of children’s

C.　　　  the computers’ well using

D.　　　  fairies.

3.　　　 We can conclude from the text that: ________

A.　　　  The company will have to deal with a lot of information.

B.　　　　 If you want to be well-known, you may turn to the company publishing the books.

C.　　　  The other companies will use the same method

D.　　　  Americans like “do it yourself”

Passage23　　 Sexy skirts

WHAT'S the hottest item on sale this summer? To find out, look no further than the recent spring-summer 2003 fashion shows held in Milan and Paris.
　　The catwalks (天桥) were filled with miles of legs, sticking out from beneath miniskirts and hotpants (热裤).
　　"After last season's longer skirts, the return of the mini is a welcome one," said Singapore fashion designer David Wang.
　　It's not the first time miniskirts have travelled down the catwalks and filled the shops. This year, the small piece of material is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
　　The sexy skirt was created by London designer Mary Quant in 1963. Quant was an amateur(业余爱好者) with an art background. She had been designing and producing her own clothes since the late 1950s for a new youthful market.
　　Quant came to the conclusion that fashion should not only exist for the rich, but for everyone, and especially for the young.
　　"I had always wanted young people to have a fashion of their own," she wrote in a book in 1966.
　　 The miniskirt captured the world's imagination. And it has continued to catch the eye of women, and men, ever since.
　　 "If I didn't make them short enough, the girls who had wonderful legs would get out the scissors and shorten the skirts themselves," Quant joked.

When the mini first arrived in the US in the mid-1960s, it was reduced to a tiny piece of material about 12cm long, which hardly covered a girl's bottom.
　　 Today's minis are a more modest 25 to 30cm and reach just below the bottom. But designer David Wang said he would have his minis up to 45cm long, a length which sits comfortably above the knee. "The length should be more acceptable for the general public," he explained.

Tips on wearing a mini:
* If you're not comfortable wearing a very short skirt, try going just above the knee.
* A skirt should never be wider than it is short.
* Remember that in a mini, everything is a challenge — getting into a taxi, picking up something you dropped.
Best Looks
* Hotpants with jackets.
* Short skirts worn with patterned tights (紧身衣)
* Good shoes: from flat sandals to knee-high boots.

1.　　　 In what city did miniskirts probably first appear?
A. Paris.
B. Singapore.
C. New York.
D. London.

2.　　　 What does the phrase "catch the eye of…" in the last paragraph but three (倒数第四段) mean?
A. Affect.
B. Attract.
C. Be popular with.
D. Be a topic of argument.

3.　　　 In the last paragraph but two, Quant jokingly meant _____.
A. some girls like to show off their legs
B. she wasn't creative enough
C. mini skirts would enjoy popularity anyway
D. the mini skirts then were not short enough

Passage24　 Western teens share their top tunes

Have you ever wondered what kind of music kids across the Pacific Ocean are listening to? Are they crazy about Britney Spears? Do they love the Backstreet Boys? Or do they dance to Eminem?
　　 Well, nearly 6,000 teens have taken part in a Teens & Music study, conducted by USA Weekend Magazine last autumn. And the results show what type of music is hot and what is not.
　　 It comes as no surprise that hip-hop (街舞音乐) and rap (说唱乐) are the most popular types of music among American teenagers. They began in the mid-1970s, with young black kids in New York, taking music onto the streets. Hip-hop and rap are well-known for the breakdancing (霹雳舞) that goes with them.
　　 The word "rap" comes from a 1960s slang (俚语) word for conversation. It is a rapid, slangy rhyme (韵律) that is spoken rather than sung.
　　 Eminem is among the most popular rappers ever to hit the US. His first album "The Marshall Mathers LP" topped the American music chart (排行榜) in May 2000. Although about a third of teens in the US showed their support for him, almost as many said that his music was so offensive that they couldn't listen to it.
　　 Compared with Eminem, actor-rapper Will Smith is more of a star for the kids. He was awarded the Wannabe Award, on April 12 at Nickelodeon's 16th Annual Kids' Choice Awards. It is an award given to a celebrity whom kids most want to be.
　　 Pop music, such as Brittney Spears and the Backstreet Boys has always suited the tastes of the general public. It continues to enjoy support among teens and is second most popular after rap.
　　 Third is rock — music with exciting dance beats (节拍) and simple lyrics that speak loudly of social problems. The melodies (旋律) are led by electric guitars. Rock became popular in the US in the early 1950s. American singer Elvis Presley and British group the Beatles became world-famous rock artists.
　　 The study also showed that jazz is least loved by American teens. It developed in the latter part of the 19th century from a mixture of African work songs and hymns (赞美诗). Jazz tends to be the type of music that people enjoy more as they get older.

1.　　　  Which of the following developed the earliest, according to the text?
　A. Hip-hop and rap.
　B. Breakingdance.
　C. Rock.
　D. Jazz.

2.　　　   What does the word “offensive” in Paragraph 5 mean?
　A. Loud.
　B. Quick.
　C. Unpleasant.
　D. Slangy.

3.　　　   The main purpose of this story is to tell the readers _____.
　A. about a study conducted among US teens
　B. what types of music are popular among US teens
　C. that both American and Chinese teens love music
　D. that kids love different types of music because of the stars

Passage 25　　　Say no to western fast food

With the advent of fast food chains from the West such as McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut, the Chinese are being introduced to a diet that markedly increases the death rate from certain diseases in any population.

The main killers in North America, the degenerative diseases such as heart attack and stroke as well as colon cancer, will become a way of death, not death, not life, in this country if the Chinese do not act quickly and compete with these health destroying food chains.

Scientific studies from all over the world show that a diet high in animal foods such as pork, beef, including sugar, white flour, white noodles and even white rice, undermines one’s health. Deposits of animal fat cling to the walls of arteries, blocking the blood supply to various organs.

This causes diseases in almost every organ, but in particular it damages two of the most vital ones, the heart and brain.

Compare these problems with the excellent health one may enjoy if one consumes good Chinese food. The cook goes out every day, procures great-tasting, fresh vegetables, then cooks them for just a few minutes so that their nutritional value is preserved and afterwards serves them in a most artistic and elegant fashion. Please cling to your traditional ways of eating. They are far superior to those of the West.

Certainly the fast food chains make lots of money, but who wants to fill the pockets of a foreign food chain that proceeds to ruin the health of the Chinese people?

Another reason Western fast food restaurants make money is that the food they serve, which comes from assembly lines, will not attract bugs or spoil easily.

How the Chinese could patronize these fast food places when Chinese cook such delectable food, not just in this country but over the entire world, is beyond my comprehension.

Western restaurants are clean and tastefully decorated. Moreover, these restaurants also do indeed have “good service and an inviting dining atmosphere”. However, Chinese food chains could do likewise if they would organize themselves as the Western chains do.

These lessons in management and décor are the only ones worth learning from the invasion of this country by the Western fast food chains. In other words only imitate the style of the restaurants, not the content of the food or the menus in any way, shape or form.

Do not let the desire for money destroy the wonderful tradition that China has established in producing absolutely fantastically tasty as well as healthful food.

1.　　　 They are fast food chains from the West except ___________

A.　　　McDonald’s

B.　　　Kentucky Fried Chicken

C.　　　Pizza hut

D.　　 Chinese food

2.　　　 A diet high in animal foods and refined foods will cause diseases, in particular it damages ___________

A.　　　the heart and brain

B.　　　the walls of arteries

C.　　　all organs

D.　　 the blood

3.　　　 The reasons Western fast food restaurants make money are __________.

A.　　　assembly lines that will not attract bugs or spoil easily

B.　　　clean and tastefully decorated

C.　　　good service and an inviting dining atmosphere

D.　　 above of all

4.　　　 What will be worth learning from the Western fast food chains? _______

A.　　　The content of the food.

B.　　　The menus.

C.　　　 The lessons in management and decoration.

D.　　 Shape or form of the food.

5.　　　 In the passage, the author thinks _________

A.　　　Chinese should learn everything from Western fast food restaurants.

B.　　　Chinese should say no to Western fast food.

C.　　　Western fast food are good.

D.　　 Chinese food are bad.

Passage 26　New cards will keep your details safe

The plastic identification (ID,身份证) cards carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic cards from next year.
　　The new cards, which most people will have by 2005, contain a microchip (微芯片) on which personal information is stored. This can be checked against databases (资料库) kept by the government.
　　"The information will be locked into the card so that people won't be able to use false identities," said Ren Tianbu, a security official in Shenyang.
　　China's present plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago, and a similar system is used by many other countries. However, the information shown on a card differs from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holder's name, sex, date of birth and photograph, as well as the card's expiry (失效) date and number.
　　Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards, but there are some developed nations who dislike the idea. The US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and Britain are among those with no national ID card. However, some of the countries have ID cards for particular uses. For example, Australia and the United States use a driving licence (驾照) to identify people.
　　Identity cards are introduced for a variety of reasons. Race, politics and religion were often at the heart of older ID systems. In recent years, though, ID cards have been linked to national information databases, which form the basis of how a government manages a country.
　　The US, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks.
　　However, such plans have been met with fierce resistance by those who believe identity cards work against human rights and individual privacy (个人隐私).
　　"ID cards make us suspects (可疑人员), not citizens," said UK human rights group Liberty.

1. What is one of the differences between China's new and current (当前的) ID cards?
　A. The new ones contain different personal information.
　B. The current ID cards are easier to fake (伪造).
　C. Even little kids can have the new ID cards.
　D. The information on current ID cards isn't in the databases kept by the　　government.
2. Which of the following countries does not have an ID card system?
　A. France.
　B. Spain.
　C. Sweden.
　D. Germany.
3. What is the main reason governments use ID card systems nowadays?
　A. To prevent terrorist attacks.
　B. To fight against crimes.
　C. To support government services.
　D. To have more control on its citizens.
4. The purpose of this story is to ____.
　A. inform
　B. entertain
　C. clear up some mysteries
　D. remove any misunderstanding

Passage 27　　 Too young to drink

Open any English magazine and you're likely to see an advertisement for an alcoholic (含酒精的) drink such as beer and wine. Such images are common, but Ireland has taken a hard stand against alcohol advertised in magazines that are popular with teenagers.
　　 The government is alarmed that the Irish have become among the biggest drinkers in Europe. So, it announced plans on May 19 to limit advertisements for alcohol. European brewers (酿酒商) have also been told that they must do more to dissuade young people from "drinking to get drunk".
　　 The government will ban alcoholic advertisements from buses, trains, cinemas and sporting events for young people. And no advertisements for beer or other alcoholic drinks will be allowed before 10 pm on Irish television.
　　 Alcohol advertisements have faced few such rules in the past. They exist in almost every public space and sports event in Ireland. The Irish brewing giant, Guinness (健力士), sponsors (赞助) the national football team, while Heineken (喜力) beer has the rugby (橄榄球) team.
　　 The pub (酒吧) has long been a famous part of Irish life. More than 10,000 pubs serve a population of 3.8 million in Ireland. For generations, families and friends spend afternoons in pubs, drinking, chatting, listening to live music or watching televised sports. However, in recent years, Ireland has reached the top of the 15-nation European Union (欧盟) in terms of the amount of alcohol drunk per person.
　　In a report this month, police blamed this rising trend for an increase in public order crimes, mainly public drunkenness and street fighting on weekends.
　　 "More money in pockets has obviously lifted standards of living, but it is being badly spent too," said President Mary McAleese. "The Irish love of partying has its dark side in the stupid, wasteful abuse (滥用) of alcohol."

Though most people are pleased with the planned ban, some have doubts that limiting alcoholic advertisements will influence the amount of alcohol drunk.
　　　"I didn't drink when I was a teenager. Whether today's kids do or not is a matter of parental influence," said Gerry Crawford, manager of the Brazen Head, Ireland's oldest pub.

Not every teen can have beer

People often drink alcohol a lot at parties, but drinking is illegal (不合法的) for teenagers in many countries. The legal drinking age is different across the world. The United States has the highest drinking age in the world. And the Chinese mainland has no legal drinking age at all.
　Switzerland: age 14.
　France, Germany, Italy, Spain: age 16.
　UK, Ireland, Russia, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong: age 18.
　South Korea: age 19.
　Japan, New Zealand: age 20.
　The United States: age 21
　Drinking below the legal age also faces different types of punishment. In the US, teen offenders may be asked to write an 800-word essay on why he or she shouldn't drink. Or they may have to pay US$500 and have to attend a course on the dangers of drinking. They may also face days or months of suspension (中止) from school and from their driving licences (驾驶执照).
1. Why did Irish government announce plans to place controls on ads for alcohol?
　A. Because most teenagers are dependent on drinks.
　B. The rising number of people drinking alcohol is alarming Ireland.
　C. Drinking with families and friends has long been popular.
　D. The rising trend of drinking alcohol has caused an increase in public order crimes.
2. Which of the following is not a factor behind the rising amount of alcohol being drunk in Ireland?
　A. Teenagers naturally copy what parents do in daily life.
　B. Irish love spending money on drinking.
　C. In a country where so many people drink alcohol, you simply don’t feel out of place.
　D. The rising living standards.
3. The writer _________ the Irish government’s measures.
　A. is objective (客观) about
　B. is against
　C. is for
　D. has doubts about

Passage 28　　 Little Smart is not so smart

It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it's useless.
　　If you're enjoying such a service, you're one of a growing number of users of "Little Smart" in China.
　　"Little Smart", also called "xiaolingtong", has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones (无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.
　　Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What's more, unlike mobile phones, there's no fee (费用) for incoming calls.
　　These low charges have attracted many users. Since it was first established in Zhejiang in 1998, Little Smart had spread to 300 cities with 12 million users in China by the end of last year.
　　But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. The system uses the fixed phone lines and has a great number of base stations placed close to each other to send the signals. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles.
　　"I couldn't receive a phone call if I was on a bus," said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. "It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in the signal when I was moving. People calling me would get angry because they kept thinking I had hung up on them."
　　Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and Internet access has been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has colour screens.

1.　　　 What is the advantage of Little Smarts compared with mobile phones?

A.　　  Cheap costs.

B.　　  Pleasant service.

C.　　  More user-friendly.

D.　　 All of the above.

2.　　　 The main reason why Little Smart is not so smart is　_________.

A.　　  that there are breaks in the signal when you are moving

B.　　  that you cannot　receive a phone call if you are on a bus

C.　　  that there are not enough　base stations to pick up its signals

D.　　 that messaging and Internet access has added to the load of its service.

3.　　　 According to the author’s opinion, which of the following is not true?

A.　　  It has a long way to go for Little Smart to provide good service.

B.　　  Little Smart should not have attracted so many consumers.

C.　　  The complaints by the Little Smart users are objective.

D.　　 Little Smart is not really that smart.

Passage 29　　The fighting against youth smoking

Since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer, to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home. We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.

Today, I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it.

This is a national tragedy that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent. For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching a nationwide campaign to educate them about the dangers of smoking, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to severely restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years. That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.

1.　　　　　 What has the author done in his power? _________

A.　　　  To look after out children.

B.　　　  To clean the street.

C.　　　  To teach our children.

D.　　　 To protect our children from harm.

2.　　　　　 Compared with other disasters, what kills more people everyday?_________

A.　　　  Smoking.

B.　　　  Car accidents.

C.　　　  Drugs.

D.　　　 Murders.

3.　　　　　 How many children start to smoke everyday illegally? __________

A.　　　  1,000

B.　　　  3,000

C.　　　  90

D.　　　 18

4.　　　　　 For more than five years what have they done to stop their children from smoking? __________

A.　　　  To educate them about the dangers of smoking.

B.　　　  To reduce their access to tobacco products.

C.　　　  To restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.

D.　　　 Above of all

　　 5.　How many children will be stopped from smoking if we act now?

A.　　  one million.

B.　　  1.5 million.

C.　　  3 million.

D.　　 3,000.

Passage 30　　Playing your heroes

When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)! It's Curarpikt!"
　　 At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that's exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book "Hunter X Hunter" (《猎人》) by Yoshihiro Togashi (富坚义博).
　　 “I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I'm moved by his sad story and I'm attracted by his courage and personality (个性)."
　　 In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind-hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture (俘获) the people who killed his tribe (部落).
　　 Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series (动画片) of "Hunter X Hunter". Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt" in a cosplay show.
　　 "I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It's really exciting to see young people wearing the make-up and costumes (装束) of characters that you've read about and are familiar with.
　　 "But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
　　 Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.
　　 "It's a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.

But she never talks about this hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don't want to upset them So it's my secret hobby," she said. "It's also why I don't dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."

What's cosplay?

Cosplay is a Japanese term for "Costume-Play". When cosplaying, comic fans wear costumes and pretend to be their favourite comic characters.
Shanghai was the first Chinese city to discover cosplay in 1990s. It soon spread to other big cities across the country. Nowadays, cosplaying is most popular among comic fans in their teens or early twenties.
