    Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤侨）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there．The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000．
    The huge contingent （代表团） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．
    Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主义的） actions it tries to shun．
    Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（护卫舰） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”
    【小题1】What is the main idea of the passage?

    A．There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world．
    B．China should protect workers in the foreign countries．
    C．China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya．
    D．The international situation is terrible
    【小题2】The underlined word “shun” in the third paragraph most probably means?
    A．take part inB．avoidC．carry outD．refuse
    【小题3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya．
    B．A large number workers are working abroad, which bring about advantages and disadvantages．
    C．In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands．
    D．Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation．
    【小题4】What’s Not true about the frigate Xuzhou?
    A．It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia．
    B．It will help the evacuation effort．
    C．It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests．
    D．It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global．

    "Hey, little boy, will you support me when I'm getting old?" Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he picked him up at home．

    The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improving standard of living．As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society．People are living longer and having fewer children．Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents．But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead．

    The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries．Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, China's cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population．The paper said China s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century as the proportion rote） of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population, By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper．

    An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society．It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems．It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system．

    "I used to think that it's not an issue for me to provide, for the aged," said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance．But last year Wang s father suffered a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders．

    After his father recovered, Wang opened bank accounts for each parent and deposited some money into the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties．In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son s future education．"I m now breaking my back working to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son s education funds, and living costs．"

    Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself．"We have to take precautions before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view," he said．

    1.Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?

    A．Social problem．

    B．The problem of the pension system．

    C．More pressure on the family．

    D．Unemployment．

    2.From the passage, we can infer___．

    A．the aging people problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government

    B．China will encourage young couples to have more than one child

    C．many people have realized the problem of aging society

    D．children will not support their parents in an aging society

    3.Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word inevitably?

    A．Surprisingly．

    B．Certainly．

    C．Hopefully．

    D．Unluckily

    4.From the text we can see that           .

    A．China is the only country to face an aging society

    B．most of the developing countries face an aging society

    C．countries with a large population face an aging society

    D．more and more developed countries face an aging society
