    BEIJING, Oct. 8(Xinhua)——There are ten times as many Chinese newspapers and magazines than there were 30 years ago. That’s when the country adopted the reform and opening-up policy.
    Figures from the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP)show there were 186 newspapers and 930 magazines in China in 1978. Today, the country has 2,081 newspapers and 9,363 different magazines.
    In the meantime, official figures show China has some 600 publishing houses producing nearly 300,000 kinds of books. That’s a dramatic increase from the 105 publishers of the past that produced only 10,000 different books.
    Rapid economic development and universal education since China adopted the reform has helped fuel the need for more information sources.
    Under the market economy, hundreds of publishing houses and newspapers have taken steps to restructure management systems into corporations listed on the stock market.
    The legal system overseeing the news and publishing industries in China has also changed over the last three decades. Since 1990 a law and five relevant(相关) regulations were adopted in 1990 to govern the sectors.
    Since it started in 1993, digital publishing has flourished. Its industrial volume amounted to 20 billion yuan (2.93 billion U.S. dollars) in 2006. More than 500,000 kinds of digital books were produced last year alone in China, which is more than any other country in the world.

    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
    BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
    While China may be the world’s biggest toy maker, many of the best are exported. Department stores here do not have enough toys of high quality. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
    A US company, Baby Care, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
    Baby Care works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.  People who join the company’s "mother club" can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child-care books.
    "We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, Baby Care’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." Baby Care works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by Baby Care advise parents and explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
    Baby Care opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
    It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
    小题1:What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
    A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
    B．Problems with China’s toy market and education.
    C．Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.

    A．Club members buy Baby Care products for free child care advice.
    B．Doctors in Beijing help in making Baby Care products.
    C．Parents are encouraged to pay $ 18 for club activities.

    小题3: Baby Care is developing its business in China by ___________.
    A．opening stores in Beijing hospitals
    B．offering 18 month courses on child care
    C．setting up children’s education centers
    D．forming close relationships with parents

    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.
