    YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS
    My children go to a primary school where they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this?   Puzzled Dad
    It can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential. Complain, loudly.
    I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is.      Plain Mom
    You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she does, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa. Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.
    小题1:Why are the children not allowed to play football in the playground?
    A．The school is afraid that children might be injured.
    B．The school is not sensible and confident.
    C．The children don't have enough time to do homework.
    D．The children may fail to fulfill their academic potential.
    小题2:What disturbs Plain Mom is that her daughter______.
    A．becomes mad B．cries a lot
    C．spends much time before the mirrorD．is not beautiful enough
    小题3:The solution to Plain Mom's problem is to______.
    A．make her daughter look less ridiculousB．let her daughter dress up like her friends
    C．make her daughter go to a spa every weekD．let her daughter feel herself what beauty is
    小题4:What does the underlined word spa mean?
    A．a place where water with minerals in itB．a place where people can relax
    C．a beauty salonD．a swimming pool

    It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said, “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”
    The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
    But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”
    The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.”
    Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
    To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding”.
    For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.
    小题1: Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997______.
    A．to voice her support for a total ban of landmines.
    B．to clarify the British government’s stand on landmines.
    C．to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims.
    D．to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims.
    小题2:. What did Diana mean when she said“…putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to
    me” (Para.1)?
    A．She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.
    B．The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.
    C．Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.
    D．Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.
    小题3: Some members of the British government criticized Diana because______.
    A．she was ill-informed of the government’s policy.
    B．they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola.
    C．she had not consulted the government before the visit.
    D．they were actually opposed to banning landmines.
    小题4: How did Diana respond to the criticisms?
    A．She made more appearances on TV.
    B．She paid no attention to them.
    C．She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.
    D．She rose to argue with her opponents.
    小题5: What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?
    A．It had caused embarrassment to the British government.
    B．It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
    C．It had greatly promoted her popularity.
    D．It had affected her relations with the British government.

    A new report says sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected. American scientists say the ice is melting even faster than computer programs had estimated.
    Scientists know that climate change has a major effect on the Arctic Ocean partly because sea ice is disappearing. They also know that areas of open seawater are expanding. Such areas are known to take in sunlight and increase temperatures. Scientists say this has helped to cause the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover.
    For the study, the American scientists compared eighteen computer programs with observations made by satellites and other instruments. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change used the computer programs to prepare its 2007 estimates of climate change.
    The computer programs gave estimates of the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean in the month of September. September is when the Arctic has the least ice, after the warm, summer months. The computer estimates suggested an ice loss of two and a half percent for every ten-year period between 1953 and 2006.  
    Newer studies of the Arctic have used information gathered by aircraft, satellites and ships. This information showed a loss of September ice cover of almost eight percent for every ten-year period between 1953 and last year. This means the ice is disappearing about thirty years faster than the computer programs estimated.
    The scientists say the programs might not have recognized the full effect of increased carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. They say their study suggests the gases may have more of an effect than had been thought.
    小题1:It is reported that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected mainly because _________.
    A．climate changeB．sea ice’s disappearance
    C．seawater’s expansionD．the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover
    小题2: How did the scientists draw the conclusion that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected?
    A．The scientists have been observing the Arctic Ocean for many years.
    B．The scientists have compared the computer programs with observation made by satellites and other instruments.
    C．The scientists have figured out many numbers with the help of computer.
    D．The scientists have found that the seawater take in sunlight and increase temperatures.
    小题3:If the ice melts at the present speed, by the end of this century the ice loss in the Arctic Ocean will be _________ according to newer studies.
    A．22.5%B．35%C．72%D．100%
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The figures of the computer estimates are wrong.
    B．Scientists study climate change through studying sea level.
    C．Newer studies show gases may have more effect on sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
    D．The ice is melting even faster than satellites have estimated.
    小题5:This report mainly warns human to _________.
    A．prevent the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean from melting any more
    B．pay more attention to the loss of the Arctic’s ice cover
    C．take necessary steps to protect the environment of our earth
    D．stop summer sea ice in the Arctic from disappearing so fast

    Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l,200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.
    Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻) by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．
    The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．
    “Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out, it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa.”
    "This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer．
    The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11，12，and l 4—had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held 11 ships and 228 sailors．
    Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes of catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.
    小题1:The pirate attack reported in the text happened           ．
    A．far out in the Indian Ocean
    B．in the normal patrol area
    C．near the Somali, coast
    D．in the south of Africa
    小题2:According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?
    A．More goods on board are lost.
    B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.
    C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.
    D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.
    小题3:Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text?
    A．The patrols are of little effect.
    B．The patrols are more difficult.
    C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.
    D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.
    小题4:How many sailors were held by the pirates before the time of the report?
    A．228.B．77.C．383.D．305.

    (NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
    Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year-old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
    He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.
    “I didn’t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
    Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头) when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
    When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
    Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
    The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.
    “I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”

    NEW YORK, May 19—A new, more destructive version of the “Love Bug ” virus is slowly spreading across the world, but so far the damage is small compared with its former version.
    The new Love Bug virus creates disorder.
    Richard Saunders of anti-viral firm Symantec said the virus only affected a dozen companies around the world.
    “While it is a nasty virus, it’s not spreading anywhere near the rate Love But or (last year’s ) Melissa was spreading,” Saunders said.
    “New Love” is similar in form to the Love Bug, which swept the world two weeks ago and caused more than $ 10 million in damages. But it’s much more destructive. The virus appears as an attachment to an e-mail whose subject begins with “FW”
    If a user clicks on the attachment’s scroll-like icon（卷轴样的图标）, every file on his hard drive is destroyed.
    “Basically, it’s going to destroy your machine, ” said Eric Chine, chief researcher at Symantec’s anti-virus lad in the Netherlands.
    The Love Bug only killed a small set of files, including graphic files. This virus even wipes out the Windows operating system.
    Attorney General Janet Reno warned the public at a news conference today to be careful of any suspicious e-mail with attachments. “Do not open it, even it comes from a trusted source.” she said.
    Don’t Open That Attachments.
    Like the Love Bug, after the e-mail attachment is opened and the virus is carried out, New Love sends itself to everyone in a victim’s Microsoft Outlook address book. Fortunately for users, the lesson is the same as from the Love Bug: If you see a message with an attachment whose name ends in vbs, with a scroll-like icon, don’t click on the attachment. Also like the Love Bug, this virus only affects computers running Windows 98, NT 4.0 Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 5.0 and can only spread if users rely on a Microsoft Outlook address book for e-mail. Microsoft will soon give a fix for Outlook that warns people or suspicious attachments, the company said.
    68. According to the passage, so far the new Love Bug virus _________.
    A. has made the whole world disordered     
    B. causes more damages than other forms of virus
    C. is the newest and spreading the fastest 
    D. has affected 12 companies around the world
    69. Computer users are warned in this article _________.
    A. not to suspect e-mails beginning with “FW” subjects
    B. not to open attachment of doubtful e-mails
    C. to stop using Microsoft Outlook address book
    D. to examine the Windows Operating System carefully
    70. It can be suggested from the passage that _________.
    A. the mail sent by a friend is surely free of the virus 
    B. the Microsoft Company will take action against the virus
    C. all computers running Windows 98 will be affected
    D. the users can not find the way to deal with the Love Bug.
    71. The author writes this passage in order to _________.
    A. compare some types of virus                        
    B. explain how the Love Bug is formed
    C. tell the readers something about a new virus   
    D. remind computer companies to kill the virus

    In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province．
    Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海国际田径黄金大奖赛) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell．That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off．So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle．After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly．The result is not very good but the effort was not bad．”
    With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times．“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said．“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26．I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point．I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here．”
    It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury．Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career．“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future．”
    1．When will the 12th Chinese National Games be held?
    A．2012                 B．2013                C．2014               D．2015

    3．What’s the best title for the article?
    A．A Legend–Liu Xiang                         B．Liu Xiang Is Back
    C．Champion of The National Games            D．Never Give Up
