    The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city’s employment problems.
    The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year,1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or Party secretaries in suburban areas.
    People interested in jobs in Beijing’s rural villages and townships can submit applications to the Beijing Municipal Personnel Bureau or online at www. Bjbys. com from February 1 through March 15.
    “We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, deputy director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency.
    The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan
    ( $ 250) in the first year, 2,500 yuan ($ 320) the second year and 3,000 yuan ($ 385) the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.
    Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the city's countryside. After majoring in industrial and commercial administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing's Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.
    Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to figures provided by the Ministry of Education.
    The ministry predicts that 4. 95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.
    In Beijing, a record 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to the personnel bureau.

    Thai authorities have been urged to see to it that condominiums (公寓), apartment houses and other lodgings available to tourists throughout the country will be of higher quality than today, a leading tourism businesswoman has said.
    Piyaman Techapaibul, president of the Tourism Council of Thailand, called on the Ministry of Tourism & Sports as well as other government agencies concerned to have those places and accommodations for tourists improved and upgraded to meet international standards because, she said, today's tourists from around the world have more money to spend and prefer quality lodgings as well as quality services and accommodations at those places.
    "Added by condos and apartment houses currently opening for daily rent, the number of lodgings for tourists throughout the country has increased over the years, but not the qualities. Many of today's tourists are so affluent and selective that they'd prefer quality places where personnel should be very responsible and experienced in taking care of them while security should be constantly and effectually maintained," she said.
    Employees and staff in charge of providing accommodations to tourists should be expert in communicating with the foreigners, service-minded and speak fluent English, according to the council leader.
    Thailand is seen to receive up to 23.1 million tourists from other countries around the world next year, compared to about 21.7 million, who have reportedly visited the country throughout this year, about 2.6 million of whom from China, while as much as two trillion baht (US$66.6 billion) is expected to be earned from tourist industry by 2015, compared to about one trillion baht (US$33.3 billion) this year.
    Thailand's most favorite destinations for tourists include the world-famous beach resorts of Pattaya and Phuket, the Andaman Sea archipelagos of Krabi and Surat Thani and the capital city of Bangkok.
    The council leader made her comments in response to news reports that the government might deregulate (撤销管制) businesses of running condominiums and apartment houses to the extent that they might not only serve as a place which collects monthly rent from the tenants but as a hotel where guests pay the room rates on a daily basis.
    No parking lots or hotel-operating licenses might be legally required at such places nationwide only if they were practically turned into daily hotels or guesthouses.
    小题1:What can we learn from paragraph 1?
    A．Thai started to take measures to have the accommodations improved in the past.
    B．Tourism is the leading industry in Thailand.
    C．The accommodations in Thailand are of poor quality.
    D．Tourists prefer hotels to apartment houses in Thai.
    小题2: What does the underlined word “affluent” in paragraph 3 mean?
    A．particularB．prosperousC．sensitiveD．restricted
    小题3: According to the passage, how many people went to Thailand for a trip except China this year?
    A．about 23,1 millionB．about 21.7 million
    C．about 2.6 millionD．about 19.1 million
    小题4: Why did the authorities in Thai need to have the lodgings improved?
    A．Because tourists prefer better service and better living condition
    B．Because tourists have plenty of money.
    C．Because they want to meet the international standards
    D．Because the condominiums in Thai are inferior to those in any other country.
    小题5: According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?
    A．Piyaman advocated the authorities not to limit the development of the condos.
    B．Bangkok is one of the most attractive destinations for tourists
    C．Thailand has earned about one trillion baht from tourist industry this year.
    D．Staff in condos should speak English fluently.

    The ISS project is a partnership of five - the US, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada.
    At the moment, no program for its use nor any money has been put in place to support the platform beyond 2015.  
    One of the biggest issues stopping an agreement on station-life extension（延长期） is the human spaceflight examination ordered by US President Barack Obama.
    The Americans are developing a new vision for space exploration, and the rockets and spacecraft they will need to start it. The future of US joining in the ISS is closely tied to the result of the examination.
    Mr Dordain, the European Space Agency's (Esa) Director General, said no one partner in the ISS project could alone call an end to the platform. A meeting would be held in Japan later in the year where he hoped the partners could get something clearly going forward. He said it was also necessary the benefits（成效） were increased and the costs were reduced. Increasing the benefits could include finding new uses for the station.
    Esa has called for ideas on how to use the ISS as a platform for Earth observation（观测站）. Mr Dordain said the agency had received about 20 very good proposals.
    On the issue of reducing costs, there were many ideas on the table, he explained.
    He also questioned whether it was necessary for the station to have six astronauts at all times. If there were periods when little maintenance（维修） was required or the experiment load was light, could the ISS run on a smaller group of people, he suggested.
    Construction of the space station should finish this year. Next month, two components built in Europe - a connecting node and a robotic control room - will be flown to the platform by the US shuttle Endeavour.
    Tranquility and the Cupola, as they are known, will complete the non-Russian side of the ISS.
    小题1:Why will America joining in the ISS be tied to the result of the examination?
    A．Because America is the greatest power among them
    B．Because America provides most of the money
    C．Because they need America’s rockets and spacecraft
    D．Because Obama ordered the human spaceflight examination
    小题2:According to Mr Dordain, how should they do to reduce costs?
    A．To find new uses for the station
    B．To make little maintenance
    C．To reduce the experiment load
    D．To have fewer astronauts sometimes
    小题3:Where do you think you can read this passage?
    A．In a story bookB．In a handbook
    C．In an advertisementD．In a newspaper

    BEIJING, March, 17th --The Japanese automaker Toyota will recall some 4,400 units of FJ Cruiser cars in China over seat belt flaws, China's consumer quality watchdog said Saturday.

    Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and take photos wherever you are, but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）.
    A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.
    Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
    Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in touch we become, the more is expected of us in work . ”
    小题1:With a smartphone the average UK working day is _______.
    A．2 hours B．9 to 10 hoursC．11 to 12 hoursD．24 hours
    小题2:It could be inferred from the text that the British people _______.
    A．prefer to check emails in the morning
    B．are crazy about different smartphones
    C．shorten their normal working hours
    D．work extra hours with smartphones
    小题3:What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smartphones?
    A．They are unimportant for most of people.
    B．They have disadvantages for some companies.
    C．They make it impossible for people to rest.
    D．They are useful to improve a work ability.
    小题4:Where can we most probably read this text?
    A．In a science fiction.B．In a newspaper.
    C．In a travel magazine.D．In a storybook.

    In this study, Cohen’s interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.
    The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. Buy for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.
    Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried abut your health, look on the bright side more often.

    A．People who felt happy never got ill.
    B．People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.
    C．People with good feelings became ill more easily.

    Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．
    "Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．"Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues with symbolic messages．People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear．"
    Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a person's general age, their gender, income, political affiliation, and other personality traits, including someone's emotional stability．
    Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
    So, what do your shoes say about your personality?
    Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts（外向性格的人）．
    However, some of the more specific results are intriguing．For example, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with "aggressive" personalities．
    The strangest of all may be that those who wore "uncomfortable looking" shoes tend to have "calm" personalities．
    And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from "attachment anxiety," spending an inordinate amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．
    There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing "shabbier and less expensive" shoes．
    The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities．
    小题1:We learn from the text that shoes one wears may            ．
    A．be used to judge others’ personality accurately
    B．show thick and useful information about one’s personality
    C．convey useful information including one’s emotional stability
    D．only convey some information about one’s personality
    小题2:Which of the following is not true according to the text?
    A．People who wear practical and functional shoes may be hard to deal with．
    B．People with high incomes probably wear expensive shoes．
    C．Ankle boots are closely aligned with “aggressive” personalities．
    D．People wearing “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to be calm．
    小题3:What can be the best title for this article?
    A．Shoes and InformationB．Shoes and One’s Personality
    C．Shoes One WearsD．Judging One’s Personality
