    　　108 cities in China took part in World Car Free Day on Saturday to promote environmentally-friendly transport and ease increasingly grid-locked city streets．It’s a highlight of a nationwide urban public transport week．People were urged to take public transport, ride bikes or walk．

    　　To help out, more than 200 new buses took to the streets．And the Beijing Subway laid on 10 more trains for rush hour．

    　　A Beijing resident said, “Today is car free day, and I do find the traffic much better and the bus can go much faster．”

    　　Another resident said, “I spent only half an hour to go to work．It took me twice as long before．Plus I can find seat on the bus today．”

    　　But in some areas not signed up for traffic control, endless lines of cars can still be seen．

    　　Some people say they just can’t do without their cars．

    　　Another Beijing resident said, “Some people are willing to give up driving, but on certain days when I have to take my child to school or weekend classes, the public transport is so bad that I can’t do it without a car．”

    　　But the concept of “green” traffic is catching on．People say they believe it’s the first and honest step in facing the serious traffic and environmental problems．

    　　A driver said, “The car free day has a very important symbolic meaning．It does not mean that we must give up cars．It is to promote a concept, to encourage more people to contribute to the protection of the environment．”

    　　The Ministry of Construction calculates “Car Free Day” will cut 3000 tons of emissions and save 33 million liters of gasoline．And it’s planning more frequent activities to raise public consciousness of energy conservation and environmental protection．

    　　Every pet owner loves his pet .There is no argument here.

    　　But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion .

    　　Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的)sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure (步骤)ycy

    　　Most of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply did not wish to go against the natural law of life and death.

    　　Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.

    　　Little wonders the loss is so disturbing—and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”

    　　But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of this problem.

    　　Famous centenarians(百岁老人)still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire．"Those who stand still, die," is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project．"You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away," he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility："It's down to mother nature．It gave to me what it took from others．"

    　　Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens．

    　　Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer(103), Nobel laureate Montalcini(101)and director Kurt Maetzig(100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation．

    　　Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor．"The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas：After a gallbladder(胆囊)operation he composed a samba tune(桑巴舞曲)in the clinic．

    　　Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said："I want to be at least 108-years-old．" He also plans to keep performing．"Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role"．

    　　Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-years-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on："Progress is created through imperfection．" In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．

    　　With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers．

    (1)

    From the first two paragraphs, we can see _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    being active at 102 is achievable for everybody

    B．

    Oliveira owes his long life to his mother’s help

    C．

    being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character

    D．

    social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior

    (2)

    How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    4

    B．

    5

    C．

    6

    D．

    7

    (3)

    It is _________ who speaks out on behalf of the poor and builds houses for all．

    [　　]

    A．

    Oliveira

    B．

    Niemeyer

    C．

    Montalcini

    D．

    Maetzig

    (4)

    By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?", Heesters shows us he _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    wants to sit or lie in comfort

    B．

    is waiting for people to pick him up

    C．

    is willing to work till he dies

    D．

    prefers to give performance at home

    (5)

    The best title for this passage may be “_________”．

    [　　]

    A．

    The Older, the Wiser You’ll Be

    B．

    Progress, Created Through Imperfection

    C．

    How to Live to Be a Centenarian
