    SIX male penguins (雄企鹅) at a German zoo are proving stubbornly resistant to females brought in from Sweden to make them into breeding (繁殖). Of the ten male penguins at the zoo, six have formed into " homosexual" couples and have shown no interest in the females, making breeding an impossibility. So the zoo imported the four female penguins from Sweden last month, full of hope that the new arrivals could “turn” the males. But so far, the boys are remaining strictly with the boys.

    It's killed at least two dozen people, damaged hundreds of homes, cost some 22 billion Yuan in direct economic losses so far and has left thousands of family-bound travelers stranded. The massive snow and ice storm that has swept through the southern part of China has put this country into full disaster management mode. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been activated and the government has already provided 126 million Yuan in aide to six provinces in the south slammed by the unexpected winter blast. But is enough being done? And what else can be done to ensure that the effects of natural disasters like the one in southern China are minimized in the future?
    “Ni hao, you're listening to People In the Know, your window into the world around you, online at www.crienglish.com here on China Radio International. In this edition of the show, we'll be talking about the southern China snow and ice storm. So let's get started.
    First, let's get a Chinese perspective of how well the ice and snow storm in southern China is being handled from a logistical point of view. For this we're joined on the line by Professor Peng Xizhe, Dean of the School of Social Development and Public Policy at Fudan University in Shanghai.
    (Dialogue with Peng)
    And after a short break, we'll talk about the broader view of disaster management.”

    (Dialogue with Jiang and Rego)
    And with that we close out this edition of People In the Know, online at www.crienglish.com here on China Radio International.

     Three months after the government stopped issuing（发放）or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security（安全）concerns, some cafe owners are having financial（经济的）concerns of their own.
    The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.
    “I handed in a request to open up an Internet cafe and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”
    Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue?”
    The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet cafe, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.
    “I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000,” Al-harbi added.
    As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way. But security concerns come before profit（盈利）.
    小题1:The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes       .
    A．to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes
    B．to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business
    C．to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet
    D．to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway
    小题2:The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners            .
    A．suffered heavy financial losses
    B．asked to open up Internet cafes
    C．continued to operate Internet cafes
    D．asked the government for payment
    小题3:The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means             .
    A．to be studied
    B．to be put into practice
    C．to be changed
    D．to be improved
    小题4:The cafe owners found the government’s decision          .
    A．surprising and unacceptable
    B．understandable and acceptable
    C．reasonable but surprising
    D．surprising but acceptable

    Across the globe, single parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the 2000 census (人口普查) showed 24.8 million, or nearly 24 percent of the nation’s 105.5 million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8 million households, or 9 percent of all US households were headed by an adult raising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by a married mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a single parent.
    Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Single parent households in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in 1999. Belgium saw the increase from 1.8 percent to 2.7 percent during the same period of time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of the single parent because there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureau director, said.
    Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved govenment should be in helping single parent families. Some research suggests children raised in two-parent families are better off than those who depend on one.
    “The position of one-parent families in any country is very much a gender (性别) issue-women’s opportunities, especially working-class women on low income,” said Sue Cohen, coordinator (协调员) of the Single Action Parents Network in England.
    5.Not considering the exact number of the single-parent families, which country saw the fastest rise rate in 1999, compared with 1990?
    A.UK.          B.Australia.               C.America.               D.Belgium.
    6.What is the cause of the rise of single parent families across the globe?
    A.The nearby family members have a favourable opinion.
    B.A lone parent is well off enough to support his /her children.
    C.A lot of problems have arisen in two-parent families.
    D.We cannot get enough proving information from the text.
    7.Which of the following is TRUE about the increase of single parent families according to the passage?
    A.It will somewhat limit the growing population of younger generation.
    B.Governments should take actions about the social problems brought about by it.
    C.Single parent families are not looked down upon in any country mentioned here.
    D.Generally speaking, the single parents needn’t worry since they are highly paid.
    8.Which of the following diagrams correctly shows the rise of single parent families in the US from
    1990 to 2000?

    How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny. I cannot change it."
    Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on other factors.
    I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
    Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
    Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it’s helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary(暂时的) problem; Instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
    If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand or sit there, do something to improve your life.
    小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life ___________.
    A．doesn't need improving
    B．will be better some day
    C．can’t improve itself
    D．will be worse in the future
    小题2:What does the author think of the woman's life?
    A．Positive B．Disturbing
    C．Colorful D．Negative (消极的)
    小题3:Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
    A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
    B．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
    C．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts.
    D．You can only achieve success when God wills it.
    小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized（强调）the importance of _________.
    A．positive thinking
    B．positive action
    C．hope for the best
    D．intention to succeed

    NANJING, June 13,2009 (Xinhua) – China will see the longest total solar eclipse (日食) in 500 years on July 22, a scientist said Saturday.

    The most important time of the total eclipse was expected to
    begin from 9:00 a.m. to 9:38 a. m. (Beijing Time), said Wang
    Sichao, a research fellow with the Nanjing – based Purple
    Mountain Observatory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
    “The total eclipse will l ast up to six minutes, which is the longest
    one that can be seen in China in almost 500 years from 1814 to 2309,” Wang said.
    He said viewers in parts of eleven provinces in China's southwestern, central-southern and eastern areas, such as Tibet, Hunan and Jiangsu, will be able to witness the total solar eclipse, while in most parts of Shanghai, viewers can see the spectacular phenomenon. For viewers in other provinces, including Beijing, they can observe a partial eclipse, he said.
    A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is caught between the sun and the earth while each of them moves along their fixed orbits. In a total solar eclipse, the sun, the moon and the earth are directly aligned as the sun swings into the cone of shadow cast by the moon.
    Wang said the next total solar eclipse that can be seen in China will fall on March 20 th, 2034.     "But it can only be seen remote provinces, such as Tibet and Qinghai. It cannot not be compared with the upcoming one -- in terms of duration and number of cities that can see the eclipse," he added. The last total solar eclipse visible in China took place on Aug. 1 last year. It was observed in northwest China and lasted two minutes in Yiwu County of northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the best place to see the phenomenon.
    72．According to the report, the total eclipse on July the 22 nd will last         .
    A．over a month                                                    B．about 38 minutes
    C．about 6 minutes                                              D．less than 30 minutes
    73．Viewers can possibly witness the total solar eclipse in            .
    A．Liaoning                   B．Sichuan                    C．Beijing                      D．Xinjiang
    74．When a total solar eclipse happens,          .
    A．the moon goes into the shadow cast by the sun
    B．the earth stays between the sun and the moon
    C．the sun temporarily moves into the moon’s orbit
    D．the sun is in a line with the moon and the earth
    75．Which is the best title for this report?           .
    A．China to witness longest total solar eclipse in 500 years
    B．The most important total solar eclipse will favor China
    C．The beginning time of the total solar eclipse is expected
    D．China has been the best place to witness the solar eclipse
