    Only three local students won Chinese Blog（博客） Competition. And 15 of the 18 awards want to students from China.   

    170 students’ task: to get a fully-designed blog up and running, complete with many posting based on a theme of choice―all written in Chinese.   

    Themes ranged from local opinions－such as the usage of Singlish, education and whether Singapore can be a cultural centre－to food blogs.   

    The entries were judged on Language proficiency（ 熟练程度）and the quality of writing, as well as the design and level of exchanging ideas with readers.   

    Academics from the National University of Singapore and the SIM University IT experts, and a journalist from Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao in Singapore made up the judges.   

    In the end, only three Singaporean students made it to the award list―the rest of the awards were swept up by students from China.   

    “No surprise.” said Mr. Chow Yaw Long, 37 , teachers in charge from Ianova Junior Collage, which organized the event. “Although the topics were local subjects, the foreign students were generally better in terms of the content of the posts and their grasp of the Chinese language.”

    Australian Flag Designs by Readers of the Sun-Herald
    We received dozens of responses after inviting readers to send in their designs for a new flag. The designs we received include:
    James Anthony, Drummoyne
    James reduces the Union Jack down in size and changes its shape to become a reminder of the British tradition rather than canceling it altogether. At the same time he suggests enlarging the stars of the Southern Cross. His design attempts to use the best of both worlds in a newly designed flag.
    As he says, “the British part of the Australian Flag is too big and the Australian bits are too small. When you make the stars bigger the Australian flag can look impressive.”
    Joe Bollen, Turranmurra
    Joe’s flag has the main elements of a risen sun, white horizon(地平线), red earth at the base and the Southern Cross. He intends to make the risen sun a special Australian symbol on the flag. He believes it represents life. The Southern Cross shows that we live in the Southern Hemisphere. (半球)
    Maria Ieraci, Sydney
    Maria deleted the Union Jack but otherwise kept the flag as is with the Southern Cross and Federation Star. She says, ‘There is only one correct way to change the Australian flag” and that is “to drop the Union Jack ---- when Australia becomes a Republic”, which she hopes will be before 2010.
    Ron Bennett, Sydney
    Ron recommends using the Aboriginal colors but replacing their image of the sun with the map of Australia. He says, “Australia is unique being an island continent with an instantly recognizable outline at that” and “this will leave no doubt as to which country the flag belongs.”
    【小题1】Which of the four designs can remind you of the past of the country?

    A．Joe’sB．Maria’sC．Ron’sD．Jame’s

    China is going green．In order to reduce air pollution and oil shortages, carmakers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market．Toyota’s hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week．Let’s have a look at the new car．
    Any vehicle is a hybrid run on a rechargeable battery and gas．Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional gas engines．The gasoline engine provides 99 percent of the power when the car is going at a steady speed. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when it needs to speed up．
    Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine．The first thing you notice is that it is quieter than a traditional car．At this point, the car’s gas engine is at rest．The electric motor will provide power until the car reaches about 24km/h．If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an electric car, with no gas being used, and no waste gas given off．
    The computer decides when to use the gas engine, when to go electric, and when to use a combination of the two．If you go over 24km/h, when you step on the gas pedal (油门), you are telling the computer how fast you want to go．
    The electric motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries．And when driving at a high speed, the gas engine not only powers the car but also recharges the batteries．When you use the brake, the electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator (发电机) to produce electricity to recharge the batteries．As a result, the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles．
    66．The underlined sentence probably means ________.
    A．there will be more and more green land in China  
    B．China’s new cars are combinations of different green models
    C．China is still young and lacking in experience
    D．the environment is getting better in China
    67. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
    A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gas.
    B. They have smaller engines than traditional gas ones.
    C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hill.
    D. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
    68. We can know from the story that ________.
    A. the gas engine recharges the batteries as well as powering the car
    B. using the brake suggests that the gas engine should work
    C. the car’s batteries will last for around 200,000 miles without being recharged
    D. the batteries can be recharged at any time you want
    69. The author writes the passage mainly to________.
    A. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for the Chinese market
    B. let people know how to save their gas when driving a car
    C. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
    D. introduce a new kind of “green” car
    70．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
    A．The hybrid car is environmentally friendly．
    B．The hybrid car is unable to get itself recharged．
    C．The hybrid car has been made in mass．
    D．The hybrid car can decide what power to use
