The governor has strong ties to China：He lived in Taiwan when he was a teenager and speaks fluent Chinese．One of his daughters was adopted from China．His family also has business ties with China through Huntsman Corp，a chemical company．It has operations(动作)in the country including a factory in Shanghai．
Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise(称赞)in both countries．
“Jon Huntsman is a well—regarded politician in the US…His experience as ambassador to Singapore and his knowledge of China，plus his wonderful Chinese language skills singled him out from the large number of Candidates，’’Dai Min，president of the US—based Center for America—China Partnership(中美合作中心)，told China Daily．
Obama appointed(任命)Huntsman“in order to seek China’s help and cooperation”on several international and regional issues，said Yuan Peng，professor of American Studies at the China Institute o f Contemporary International Relations(中国现代国际关系研究院)．

President Obama’s meeting with the Dalai Lama has already made China extremely angry and stirred up Tibet advocates who thought it should have come sooner. China says Tibet is part of it, and that the meeting represents an unwanted intrusion(侵犯) into its own affairs. Many Americans still see the Dalai Lama as the representative of a people treated cruelly by Chinese rule. Many Tibetans are dissatisfied with Chinese rule, and this has led to widespread rioting(暴乱) over the past few years. Theywantself-determination; fair enough. But that seems to be the only story about Tibet that is ever told. The other story is — Looking at growth, standard of living, infrastructure(基础设施), and GDP, one thing is clear: China has treated Tibetans amiably.
Since 2001, Beijing has spent $45.4 billion on development in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). The effect: double-digit GDP growth for the past nine years. About a third of the money went to infrastructure investment, including the train connecting Beijing to Lhasa. The train provides an opportunity for Tibetan goods to be sold outside of the region and for a massive increase in number of tourists, reaching more than 5.5 million in 2009 — up from close to 2 million in 2005, the year before the train. While Tibetan independence groups like Free Tibet raise concerns about the increase in tourism, Hillman，a Tibet expert, points out that “tourism is an important industry that can benefit local Tibetans.”
Infrastructure improvements have not only helped grow the economy but also have aided in modernizing remote parts of Tibet, an area with 3 million people about twice the size of France.
Though Tibet is seriously puzzled by the "special contradiction" of the Dalai Lama, the central government stressed the need for Tibet to develop using the "combination of economic growth, well-off life, a healthy eco-environment, and social stability and progress" and The government is offering Tibetans the same bargain it has offered the rest of the country: in exchange for a great rise in living standards, the government requires citizens to stop having the right to free worship and free speech. Even if Tibetan residents never signed the contract, they have benefited from its policy—a fact Obama might keep in mind when he meets the Dalai Lama.
67. What does the underlined word “amiably” in the first paragraph mean?
A. rudely B. kindly C. politely D. coldly
68. According to the writer’s viewpoint it can be inferred that .
A. it doesn’t matter much to the Chinese government whether Tibetan problems exist
B. all the Americans agree with their president Obama’s meeting with the Dalai Lama
C. Hillman and Free Tibet hold different attitudes towards the increase in tourism
D. the Tibet Autonomous Region is an area of dense(稠密的) population
69. What can be learnt about the writer from the passage? The writer ______ .
A. urges the Chinese government to promote economy in Tibet
B. has an obvious political trend
C. describes what a happy life Tibetans are living to the public
D. states the facts as they are
70. The writer’s attitude towards the economical policy of the Chinese government in Tibet is ____ .

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
The origin of Father’s Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father’s Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.
The president of the Chicago branch (分部) of the Lions’ Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father’s Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek’s own birthday!
Regardless of when the first true Father’s Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father’s birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.
States and organizations began lobbying (游说) Congress to declare an annual Father’s Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 that President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to “establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical (奇形怪状的，异想天开的) so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
1. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Most countries in the world celebrated the Father’s Day.
B. Father’s Day began with a church service in West Virginia.
C. In America, Father’s Day is on the third Sunday in June.
D. President Calvin Coolidge made Father’s Day a national event in 1916.
2. Fathers are shown respect for on Father’s day except for ____________?

3. Which is the right order that Father’s day came into being？
a. President Woodrow approved of the festival idea.
b. Mrs. Bruce John acted as a promoter.
c. Father’s Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.
d. States and organizations began lobbying Congress to declare an annual Father’s Day.
e. President Calvin Coolidge made Father’s Day a national event.
A. c b d a e B. c d e a b C. b e d a c D. e a d c b
4. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 6?
A. remote B. close C. private D. detailed

A. Father’s day is celebrated all over the world.
