BEIJING,March 9—The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars,media have reported.

The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide,the Beijing News reported on Tuesday.The new rule has not yet been made public,said Li,a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee.

Under the old rules,the cars used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years,Li said.These officials will also keep the same cars when they assume new posts,he added.

The new rule also reiterated that officials ranking below minister-or-governor-levels should not be allocated cars.The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.

“It violates the rules for lower-ranking—even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said.

Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated,as they account for a large expenditure of public funds every year.

A survey on the Web news www.ifeng.com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials’ interests.

“Local government departments had halted approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new quotas under the new rules,” Li said.“The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization.”

Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that expenditures on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago.

Beijing’s standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.

Earlier this month,the Minister of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.

【1】 What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials?

A. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

B.To cut down the present huge expenditures of purchasing cars.

C.To make good use of budgets for official cars.

D.To solve the problem of severe traffic jam.

【2】How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule?

A.Every 3 years. B.Every 5 years.

C.Every 8 years. D.Every 10 years.

【3】What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles?

A.They can still possess special cars.

B.They can use their own private cars.

C.They can use cars whenever officially necessary.

D.They can be allocated second-hand cars.

【4】What is the public’s attitude toward the new rule’s fulfillment?

A.Uncertain. B.Optimistic.

C.Indifferent. D.Passive

【5】From the passage,we can infer that_________.

A.the government is determined to carry out the new rule

B.the new rule has not yet been made public

C.the new rule will benefit official’s interest

D.the new rule is applied to minister-level officials

【题目】Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger

We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.

■ Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.

People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.

The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.

——Michael Horan

■ I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.

I was walking across Altrincharn Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.

The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.

The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!

The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的)jacket and tights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.

——Carol Harvey

■ Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.

I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.

Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?

It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.

——JML

【题目】For centuries people have hunted animals for food and pleasure.The invention of the gun made it so easy for humans to hunt that some animals were lolled by the thousands and even became extinct(绝种的).This brings up some serious problems since breaks in the food chain upset the balance of nature.

Large animals like tigers are being killed by the hundreds every year in India.The Royal Bengal tiger is the only type that exists in India and their number is greatly reduced every year because of poaching(偷猎).The present number is about 2,000,all of which live in tiger reserves.Two hundred years ago the population was 23,000 or more.

During the British rule of India,many of the so-called English gentlemen killed tigers for pleasure and to show their bravery.This seems stupid because killing an innocent(无辜的)creature with a gun is not a brave deed.

Today the tiger skin is very popular.Rich people and fashion designers have no idea what they are doing. Competition between the rich to show off makes them blind to the serious effects.People persuade villagers to kill tigers to get money,and they do it because they are poor and need to feed their families.We must educate them,and the government should give them proper jobs to help solve this problem.

The people to blame are those who buy animal products like ivories,furs,tiger bones for medicine and handbags made of animal skins.They must be put behind bars to stop this kind of trade.The earth is home for everyone on it. The trees,animals,birds,and fish of all kinds belong here as much as we do.Only we have the power to change their fate.

1What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A. The balance of nature has long been broken by human beings.

B. It is a tradition for people to hunt animals for food and fun.

C. confident D. careless

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How to Feel Worthy

【1】 It might be when spending time around others or when you’re by yourself but it’s often spurred on by feeling that others are more successful, privileged or more clever than you. The following tips may help you get out of the suffering situation.

2 Comparison weakens your self-reliance and causes you to feel less than, because instead of concentrating on what you have, you only see what you don’t have. Think of a bloom—it blooms amid many other blooms and does not compare itself to all those blooms; instead it does what it was made to do—bloom.

Learn how to appreciate other people’s achievements.3 If you appreciate other people’s work, others will always appreciate you, which is a form of respect and satisfaction that adds to your sense of self-worth.

Make new friends. Surround yourself with like-minded people. In this way, you can create your own space, and you will feel worthy.

Stop criticizing yourself. Every person has certain limits—you are not a super human who can(or even should) do everything.4

Involve yourself in community services, you will feel confident. 5 You will feel worthy, when you see the love for yourself reflected in other people’s eyes.

A. Avoid comparing yourself with others.

B. Try to ignore others who are surrounding you.

C. There are times in life when you may not feel worthy.

D. Instead, enjoy your own individual qualities and abilities.

E. Criticizing others does little to help build your self-worth.

F. Therefore, think of yourself before others can help you relax.

G. Often helping others further shapes and builds up your character.
