    Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010
World Expo (世博会) on December 3.
    Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
    "I'm very proud of being Chinese," said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Affiliated (隶
属) to Beijing Medical University. "The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but
for the people of the whole Chinese nation."
    Bidding (申办) for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the
international stage. It's competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
    The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China's
development over the next 10 years, said experts.
    The World Expo is known as"Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields." It is
usually held every five years and lasts for six months.
    The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world. China
is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event's 151-year history. Not only will it attract more
foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million
visitors to Shanghai.
    The World Expo is a great event for different countries to exchange social, economic, cultural and scientific
achievements, and also help to encourage new technology and ideas. The expo was first held in London in
1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became
the symbol of the French capital. Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their
first appearance at a World Expo.

以下是旅游景点的信息:
     A. Agra Fort
     Near the gardens of the Taj Mahal stands the important 16thcentury Mughal monument known as
the Red Fort of Agra. This powerful fortress of red sandstone encompasses, within its 2.5 kmlong
enclosure walls, the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It comprises many fairy tale palaces, such as the
Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the DiwaniKhas; and
two very beautiful mosques.
     B. Taj Mahal
     Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some western historians have
noted that its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument
built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. It was
constructed over a period of twentytwo years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed
in 1648 CE at a cost of 32 million Rupees.
     C. Keoladeo National Park
     This former duckhunting reserve of the Maharajas is one of the major wintering areas for large
numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China and Siberia. Some 364 species of
birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park.
     D. Humayun's Tomb, Delhi
     This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first gardentomb on the
Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction
of the Taj Mahal. The gardens also contain the redandwhite sandstone and blackandyellow marble tomb
of Humayun's wife and the tomb of Humayun's barber.
     E. Grand Canyon National Park
     The Grand Canyon is perhaps the most awesome sight in the United States-and one of the wonders
of the world. Much of the park's beauty is related to its geology and ecology. The Skywalk at Grand
Canyon West is really exciting.

     The Sundarbans covers 10,000 sq. km of land and water (more than half of it in India, the rest in
Bangladesh) in the Ganges delta. It contains the world's largest area of mangrove forests. A number of
rare or endangered species live in the park, including tigers, aquatic mammals, birds and reptiles.

阅读理解。
     阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中,选出符合各小题要求的
最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。
     Here are five letters from readers listed in 1-5. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose
you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from
A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don't need
to use.
     1. I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your
offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain
these articles and translated them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
     2. I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English
teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I've been giving you a bit of a plug at our
middle school. I told the students to "get a copy!" It's good stuff! Fantastic!
      3. I'm one of Yao's fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No.7 Crazy English
Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me?
Thank you very much indeed.
      4. First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who gave us a really
good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you gave us
some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge, I think you should
give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more
accurately. Thank you!
      5. I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the
position of the paper e.g., 总编 责任编辑 and so on. I hope you can help me to tell me the word in
English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, I
need study more information about this work, if you have time, please email me. Thank you.
     A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way
to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words
around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it's good to look up the words and then mark them
down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try
using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
     B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy
of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles
such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If
you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I'll try to answer.
     C.The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write
him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in
sina. com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write Yao while he's living and playing in
Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at:   Yao Ming   Compaq Centre 10  Houston, TX 77046
     D.Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you're right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure
there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep
improving, so thank you.
     E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We
contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the
articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some
information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
     F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We're glad it's helpful to your students. We always try to
include articles that reflect real life. It's our hope that CR will not only improve student's English but also
open up a different worldview.
