I am wearing a small red ribbon this morning to remind myself and others around me that today is World AIDS Day.

The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.

Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo(禁忌). Over the past few years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.

Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.

The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in 1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.

The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable, especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.

But have we got a full grip on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in China?

The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has passed since the policy of free medical tests was made public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups: drug addicts and people working in sex- related places as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be reluctant to come forward.

1. What does the red ribbon stand for?

A. AIDS

B. World AIDS Day

C. AIDS awareness

D. AIDS prevention and treatment

2. Which of the following is Not true according to the text?

A. The topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo in the past.

B. The topic of HIV/AIDS is now still a public and media taboo.

C. Now a lot of people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV.

D. The writer wears a small red ribbon because today is World AIDS Day.

3. In paragraph 5 “the latter” refers to ____________________.

A. financial input

B. new prevention programmes

C. new treatment programmes

D. the central governments

4. We can learn from the text that high-risk groups of HIV/AIDS in China include the following EXCEPT __________________.

A. drug addicts

B. people working in sex-related place

C. farmer who once sold blood

D. people getting close to those affected with

HIV/AIDS

Why does a large education nation like China have so few world renowned scientists as the US? Educationists from China and the US try to find out the answer to questions like this at a forum on the basic education strategy.

The forum, held recently, was jointly organized by the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education in China and the Postgraduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in the US. It aims to find out similarities and differences that exist between two countries in their educational system.

While some educationists in China keep a doubtful eye to the country’s educational system in recent years. Th eir American counterparts give a positive answer to the basic education in China, saying that it is still one of the best in the world. An American educationist told reporters that the basic education in the US was criticized in recent years due to its political tendency. On the contrary, Chinese government’s str ess on basic education and qualified teachers has set a good example. At primary and middle school, pupils in China did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils. However, few grow to be world “masters”. Why? Educationists attributed this to China’s stress on examination rather than students’ interest. Deputy Director of the postgraduate school of Pennsylvania University said American teachers encouraged students to focus on their strong points. In China, students are driven to study to pass the entrance examination test and they do not pay much attention to their own interest

At the forum, director of the Education Development Research Center Mr. Zhang said in the future, the research center would make its middle and long-term basic education strategy by taking some references from other countries including the US.

He also revealed that for a long time in the future, China would make a breakthrough in setting the policy for quality education.

1．This passage is mainly about _________.

A. quality education development in the future

B. why China’s education cultivates few world masters

C. China’s good basic education

D. genius education at the primary stage

2．The underlined word “renowned” in the first paragraph probably means ________ A. famous B. active C. qualified D. experienced 3．The following statements are true EXCEPT that _________

A. basic education in the US is associated with the government’s po litical interest.

B. the forum aims to find out the reason why there few world masters in China.

C. all the educationists in China cast doubts in the country’s educational system.

D. Chinese government’s stress on basic education is spoken highly of.

4． Few pupils in China who did better in math and science lessons than the US pupils grow to be world “masters”, because _________

A. The US government spends more money on basic education

B. American pupils are cleverer than Chinese pupils

C. basic education in China is not as successful as that of the US

D. Chinese people pay less attention to students’ interest

5．China’s educational system will _______ in the future.

Speech—the act of uttering sounds to convey meaning—is a kind of human action. Like any other

constantly repeated action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it becomes a generally

unconscious and apparently automatic process.

As far as we can determine, human beings do not need to be forced to speak; most babies seem to possess a

sort of instinctive drive to produce speech like noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter

altogetner. There actions are learned from the particular society into which the baby is born; so that, like all

conduct that is learned from a society—from the people around us—speech is a patterned activity.

The meandering(漫目无地的)babble(咿呀学语)and chatter of a young child are eventually channeled by

imitation into a few orderly grooves that represent the pattern accepted as meaningful by the people around

him. Similarly, a child’s indiscriminate(不加分辨的)practice of putting things into his mouth becomes limited to putting food into his mouth in a certain way.

The sounds that a child can make are more varied and numerous than the sounds that any particular language uses. However, a child born into a society with a pattem of language is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over and over until it is natural for him to make these

sounds and not others.

1．For an adult, the process of speaking usually involves .

A. conscious selection of sounds

B. imitation of those around him

C. a drive to make noises

D. unconscious actions

2．The selection says that most babies have an instinctive drive to .

A. express ideas in words

B. make speech like noise

C. convey meaning

D. imitate sounds around them

3．Conduct that is learned from a society may be called .

A. instinctive drive

B. selection

C. automatic activity

D. patterned activity

4．The sounds that a child is able to make are .

A. not as varied as those used in language

B. more varied and numerous than those in any language

C. far fewer than those needed to form a language

D. completely different from the sounds of language

5．We may say that a child has learned to speak if he .

A. makes varied sounds

B. carefully considers each sound he makes

C. makes only certain sounds naturally

D. imitates people around him

Ticket tax fuels Indian cinema strike

Cinemas in Mumbai, Bollywood’s homeland are striking against high taxes on ticket sales.

Owners of Mumbai’s single-screen theatres will keep their shutters (百叶窗) down until Friday to protest about taxes, which they say are driving them out of business.

More than a third of single-screen cinemas in the state of Maharashtra have closed down in the last five years. According to the Cinema and Exhibitors Association of India, just 700 are still in operation. The association blames the closing down on Maharashtra’s high rate of entertainment tax. Its president, R V Vidhani, says that cinemas must pay a tax for every ticket sold, which is 45%, and t his makes it hard to break even. It’s the highest of all states across India. The majority of the states in India pay zero entertainment tax. Mr Vidhani says his members had decided to go ahead with a one-week closure after getting no response from the state government on the matter.

It is not just a high tax rate contributing to the shrinking（收缩）number of traditional cinemas, however. Large costs and declining box office takings also make times tougher.

Mr Vidhani has run the New Excelsior Theatre in South Mumbai since 1974. Last week a screening of Bollywood movie Tanu Weds Manu sold just 71 tickets despite a capacity of more than 1,000. Whether it’s a full house or an empty screening, running costs are more or less the same. “Air condit ioning, regular business —every expenditure (支出) is the same, but the income has stopped.”

The cricket (板球) World Cup is not helping matters, according to Mr Vidhani. “The World Cup is creating the biggest problem,” he says. “These people are crazy so far as the cricket is concerned. When India is playing, occupancy in the theatre

is just 15%.”

Mumbai’s city centre is dotted with empty cinemas.

So after remaining empty for six years, the Novelty theatre is perhaps more fortunate than its neighbours: it is to be reborn as a four-screen multiplex cinema.

Over the last decade the number of multiplexes in India has risen sharply. Despite higher ticket prices, with more choice on offer and typically newer facilities they pose fierce competition to the traditional single-screen theatres.

“Competition from the multiplexes is really tough,” Mr Vidhani says. “Then there is competition from the movie window being narrow. Movies are being released much quicker on television than they used to be so people can pretty much watch movies for free at home.

“With rising incomes, everyone’s going out and buying DVD players or VCD players. Content is available for the asking whether it is official or pirated(盗版).”

Unless single-screen theatres can become special destinations in their own right, wh ile also offering up-to-date facilities, Jehil Thakkar thinks the decline is a trend that will continue, especially as multiplex cinemas spread to smaller towns.

“They are large corporate chains,” he says. “They have the ability to s pend money on branding and advertising, so to a large extent the small cinema guys are fighting a losing battle.”

Ticket tax fuels Indian cinema strike

People prefer to watch DVD or VCD rather than go to 五、书面表达

Our school advocates that we should build a low-carbon campus in order to protect the earth.

I think it is everyone’s duty to work hard to achieve this goal. Here is what I think we should instead of riding in cars or school buses to reduce the amount of pollution. Secondly, when we eat the food in the school cafeteria, we should eat up what we buy and not waste the food. Thirdly, it is important for us to save electricity and water. We should not leave the lights on in the daytime and leave water running after washing. Instead, we should turn off lights as soon as we leave the classroom or dormitories. In a word, if we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth!

Dear fellow students, let’s start right now and spare no effort to do every little thing we can from now on!
