    The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever, gaining more than 808 million views on the popular media site.

    The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight, Justin Bieber, whose song“Baby”had a little more than 804 million views at press time. PSY made the announcement early today.
    Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s“On the Floor.”and Eminem’s“Love the Way You Lie”.
    And in September，“Gangnam Style”also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up．
    At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!”
    Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.
    If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, “Gangnam Style”would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.
    It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody videos.
    It became a staple in the 2012 presidential elections with the now ramous “Mitt Romney Style” video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda(宣传)films promoting their supreme leader. Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.

    The speed and convenience of modern travel means that destinations that used to take a long time to travel to can now be reached quickly and easily. Even though” faraway” countries may now seem closer thanks to air travel, they may still be different from your home country. 小题1:  Following are some fundamental rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.
    小题2:   If you don not know the word for something in local language, or can not make yourself understood verbally, try drawing a picture, or pointing to an object.
    Avoid topics of conversation that you think may be sensitive. 小题3:  .Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place you are visiting, but don’t ask too many questions about why things are done a certain way; you may offend the local people.
        小题4:  Kissing on the street or in public places is unacceptable behavior and should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them---if they don’t behave in a certain way, you probably shouldn’t either.
    Finally, if you are traveling on business, or plan to stay with a host to family, and you wish to take a gift, do some research.   小题5:    . One of the easiest ways to offend somebody is to give the wrong gift.
    Wherever you go in the world, always be tolerant of the local customs. Avoid being critical; try instead to show respect for the values of the country you are in, even if you do not necessarily agree with them
    A．Keep in mind that in many cultures, display affection in public is considered taboo.
    B．Consider the main lifestyle of the country you plan to visit.
    C．Never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood.
    D．If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will more than likely be the same in other cultures.
    E．The idea of the perfect gift varies greatly from country to country.
    F．The opening of gifts is also treated very differently around the world.
    G．Therefore, it is important to adapt your behavior not to offend the local people.

    A new United Nations report shows that fish farming may soon be the world’s most important provider of fish. The Food and Agriculture Organization says fish farming is growing at a rate of 6.6 percent a year.
    Fish farming now produces forty-six percent of the world’s supply of fish. That represents a forty-three percent increase from 2006. The report also said fish farming earned more money in 2008 than traditional fisheries.
    In fish farming, fish are raised in tanks or small bodies of water called ponds. They are also raised in cages or nets in oceans, lakes and rivers. The report says increased fish farming has helped people around the world eat record amounts of fish. The FAO says each person ate an average of almost seventeen kilograms of fish last year.
    However, the FAO says the current yearly wild-fish harvest of ninety million tons shows no improvement. Decreasing numbers of fish and stronger catch limits have reduced the possibilities for catching wild fish. The FAO report says about thirty-two percent of world supplies are overfished. It says these supplies of fish need to be rebuilt at once.
    Some scientists have criticized fish farming. They say the nets and cages permit fish diseases and pests to spread. Some fish farming critics doubt whether fish farming can keep growing at the current rate. But Wally Stevens of the trade group Global Aquaculture Alliance says the industry must continue developing to feed growing populations. Mr. Stevens says a one hundred percent increase in fish farming over ten years is necessary to keep providing for people at the current level. He notes that fish farming creates jobs and wealth, especially for people in coastal areas of China.
    小题1:We learn that since the year 2006, fish farming has been ______.
    A．earning more money than traditional fisheries
    B．developing rapidly around the world
    C．growing at a rate of 6.6 percent each day
    D．producing 46% of the world’s supply of fish
    小题2:According to Paragraph 3, thanks to fish farming, people around the world are able to ______.
    A．buy more kinds of fishesB．eat more fish than before
    C．eat much healthier fishD．eat much bigger fish
    小题3:What is implied in Paragraph 4?
    A．it is harder to catch wild fish than before.
    B．It costs too much to rebuild supplies of fish.
    C．There is no future for the market of wild fish.
    D．Catching wild fish no longer brings benefits.
    小题4:What does Wally Stevens think of fish farming?
    A．It doesn’t have disadvantages at all.
    B．It cannot keep growing at the current rate.
    C．It is not a good way of raising fish.
    D．It must develop fast to supply a growing population.

    We all love festivals. But since culture develops differently in many places, some festivals are, to us, very strange. Let’s take a look at some unique(独特的)festivals around the world.
    Cheese Rolling Festival (England)
    The festival started in the 15th century in May. When a round cheese is rolled, competitors run down the hill and try to catch it before it reaches the bottom. As the cheese can reach speeds of up to 112 km/h, it’s rare that someone catches the cheese. First to the bottom wins the cheese. But running down a very steep(陡峭的) hill behind a cheese can be dangerous. Eight people were injured in 1992.
    Roswell UFO festival (New Mexico, US)
    The Roswell UFO festival celebrates the anniversary(纪念日) of the “Roswell Incident”, when a UFO was said to have crashed(坠毁) nearby. Every year in July, experts, authors, researches and lecturers come to discuss the incident. The celebration also includes an alien parade, an alien costume contest, and an alien hot air balloon ride.
    Hemingway Days (Florida, US)
    This festival has normal stuff (材料，东西) like short-story readings and exhibits about the author. But the highlight (亮点) of the festival is definitely (一定地) the Hemingway look alike contest.
    Imagine walking into a bar and being greeted by 20 middle-aged men who all look alike: stocky with thick white beards. The festival takes place in mid-July every year.
    小题1:Which festival takes place in mid-July every year?
    A．Cheese Rolling Festival. B．Roswell UFO festival.
    C．Hemingway Days. D．All of the above.
    小题2:Which festival may cause injuries according to the passage?

    B．It’s common that someone catches the cheese in Cheese Rolling Festival.
    C．It’s said that a UFO once crashed in New Mexico, US.
