On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.
Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and mostchallengingof all time.
Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.
Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.
“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.
“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.
The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.
The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.

The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can 1 from a different kind of poverty-of the spirit. 2 , one Western country alone now sees 14 000 attempted suicides (自 杀) every year by children under 15, and one child 3 five needs psychiatric (心理) advice.
There are many good things about 4 in the Third World. Take the close and con-stant relation between children and their par-ents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts dis-tance between 5 and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in of-fices. 6 , the child sees mother and father,relations and neighbours working 7 and often shares in that work.
A child 8 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's 9 : helping to dig or build, look after ani-mals or babies-rather than 10 playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets 11 playing with dolls.
These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 12 children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 13 , are pro-vided with a watch as one of the 14 signs of growing up, so that they can 15 along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows...
Third World children do not usually 16 to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments (公寓). Instead of dangerous road, “keep off the grass” signs and “don't speak to strangers”, there is often a sense of 17 to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them 18 from ten floors up.
19 , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease. But childhood in the Third World is not all 20 .

第一节阅读表达
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
［1］Can you imagine going through a whole day without telling a lie? “Yes，of course，”most people would answer，but then they've probably forgotten all these lies that are told so easily一“This is delicious．”“You look lovely in that dress．”“I'd love to come with you，”etc．Lies are used a lot in everyday life．
［2］Generally speaking，_______________.The first type of liar wants to please people．The second type wants to protect himself or herself，and the third type lies to get what he or she wants．Lying can also be separated into three different catalogues.
Both sides benefit
［3］If someone is fishing for compliments(赞美)and you tell them what they want to hear，you probably think this a“kind”lie．However，you get something as a result ot this lie, too—affection，friendship，or peace and quiet．
Refusing to accept responsibility
［4］ When you lie for self-protection，the reason is very clear．To explain your late-ness，you tell your boss the train was late，not that you overslept．You cannot be blamed for being late，because you are not responsible for any problems the train has and the con-sequences of those problems．
The worst type of lie
［5］The third sort of lie is more harmful．It is，for example，the kind of lie that people tell in order to climb up the ladder at work，without caring about the people who are treated badly and unfairly．
［6］What about being lied to? Can you tell when someone is telling you a lie? Obviously there are some verbal(明显可视的) signs. Liars often take longer to answer questions．They also speak faster but are sometimes very unclear about details. Certain types of body language can also indicate that someone is lying. Experts say that speaking through one's fingers or putting one’s hands over one's face may indicate that a person is lying．P1aying with one's hair or clothes and being unable to stay still for any length of time are others．
