In my opinion, there is only one legitimate (合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.
On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.
Some opponents (反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.
There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions (限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason is that killing of game should be done in as humane (人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long guns, rifles and shotguns are effective arms of hunting.
People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with killing of people.

New Beijing, Great Olympics
The 2008 Olympic Games has been the most cheerful and anticipated(预先的) event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing was rewarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, yet the focus should be shifted from making a promise to carrying out the promise made.
In my point of view, to bridge the gap between the promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, basic-structure construction should be the primary concern. Such basic-structures as communications and transportation system and facilities ought to draw our constant attention. For example, traffic jam has been an age-old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch will surely cause great disorder, and impair the image of the city meanwhile. Next, to add charm to convenience, overall city planning is quite necessary. Time permitting, a redesign of city plan and adjustment of architectural style would provide a better environment for cultivating the characteristic, mixing oriental elegance(东方的雅致) with international greatness, will tower aloft(在高处) among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall seek opinions from first-rate architects and make an overall plan. Thirdly, quality of the population should be improved. To make an international metropolis, both “hardware” and “software” are important.
However, Rome was not built in a day. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, deeds speak louder than words.
What does the underlined word “metropolis” in paragraph 2 mean ?
A . suburb B. small city C. capital city D. town
Which sentence is not true according to the author’s opinion in the passage?
A. Beijing has a crowded traffic since a long time ago.
B. Experts in architecture are also important to the city’s construction.
C. In order to host the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing has preparations to make in many ways.
D. Hardware” refers to quality of people in Beijing.
How many aspects does the author mention to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing?
A. two: basic-structure construction and people’s quality
B. three: basic-structure construction, traffic problem and overall city planning.
C. two: basic-structure construction and overall city planning
D. three: basic-structure construction, overall city planning and people’s quality.
What can be inferred from the text?
A. Beijing is going to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
B. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”is a long-term work.
C. Traffic jams will cause a lot of trouble and make people feel sick..
D. An overall city plan is to make Beijing a city with eastern and western cultures mixed together.
