FROM 1964 to 1978, Dazhai, with a population of 500, was the most famous village in China. Millions of Chinese came to the Shanxi village to visit its terraced fields (梯田) and "splendid" irrigation systems.
It was not until 1978 when Guo Fenglian, head of the village, paid a visit to the US that China's model village found how far it had fallen behind those in developed countries.
"I was astonished at their modern equipment in harvesting, which could even separate big tomatoes with small ones," said Guo. "American farmers' life quality also impressed me a lot. Every day they had two cups of milk, which is something we don't have even in our wildest dreams."
"We have to learn their advanced technology and administration for our own development," said then first Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping who was planning China's reform and opening up policy then. "Through opening our doors, we would not only take advantage of foreign funds (资金), but also create job opportunities and cultivate (培养) talents."
In 1978 Japanese electricity giant Panasonic (松下) came to China as the first foreign business to invest (投资) here and its success attracted other world brands into exploring the Chinese market. So far China has for 15 years taken in the world's second biggest foreign investment, following the US, to help set the country in a fast growth.
However, China's 30-year road of reform was not always smooth. Doubts on the reform began to rise at the end of the 1980s as many people worried the country would turn to capitalism (资本主义).
"The criterion for our judgment is whether it helps develop socialist productive forces, whether it helps increase the overall national strength of a socialist country, and whether it brings about better living standards," said Deng.
"China's reform and opening up is a unique success story. It has brought benefit to both China and the world," said William Keller, chief manager of a Swiss pharmaceutical (制药的) company.
Guo Fenglian was ______ at the sight of the modern equipment in harvesting when she visited the US in 1978.
A. shocked B. delighted C. excited D. attracted
______ was the first big country to invest in China.
A. America B. Japan C. Swiss D. Panasonic
Many people have doubts about the reform ________.
A. in 1978 B. in 1980
C. in 1981 D. at the end of the 1980s
According to remarks by Deng, which one is NOT the criterion for judging the success or failure of our work in various fields?
A. whether it helps develop socialist productive forces.
B. whether it strengthens the overall capacity of the country.
C. whether it brings about better investment and more profit.
D. whether it improves the peoples living standards.

Australia---The vote for euthanasia(安乐死)was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot debates, Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The full import may take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical meaning. Some have breathed sighs of relief, but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste(匆忙,急忙) of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia — where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part — other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes(多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin man suffering from lung cancer, the law means he can get on with living without the fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
1.According to the text ,which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Australia now is the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
B. All people in Australia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
C. Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D. According to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.
2.The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are waiting to see ___________.
A. the result of the game of dominoes.
B. that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C. that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D. the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
3.Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason ?
A. In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.
B. In Australia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
C. In Australia, old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.
D. Australians gradually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.
4.It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
A. when Lloyd Nickson dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.
B. physicians and citizens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.
C. other countries are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
D. under the bill, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.
5.What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A. Negative B. Critical C. Positive D. Doubtful

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority（优先）it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities（复杂）of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “ This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible（难以辨认的）.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation（动力）to seek improvement.
1.Teachers are different in their opinions about ___________.
|
A．the difficulties in teaching spelling |
|
B．the role of spelling in general language development |
|
C．the complexities of the basic writing skills |
|
D．the necessity of teaching spelling |
2. The expression “play safe” probably means ____________.
|
A．to write carefully |
B．to do as the teachers say |
|
C．to use dictionaries frequently |
D．to avoid using words one is not sure of |
3. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that___________.
|
A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely |
|
B．students will have more confidence in writing |
|
C．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes |
|
D．students will learn to be independent of teachers |
4. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is____________.
|
A．unfair |
B．reasonable |
C．foolish |
D．careless |
5.The major point discussed in the passage is_____________.
|
A．the importance of developing writing skills |
|
B．the complexities of spelling |
|
C．the correct way of marking compositions |
|
D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition |

When people in the U.S. have company or when they're invited to (formal or informal)get-together, they usually make a point of trying to make others feel comfortable and relaxed.On the whole, they tend to be informal. Men shake hands, but usually only when they're introduced. Male friends and business associate who haven't seen each other in a while may shake hands when they say hello. Women usually don't shake hands when being introduced to each other. When a woman and man are introduced, shaking hands is up to the woman. Americans rarely shake hands to say goodbye, except on business occasions. American women are used to being independent. They are used to going to places by themselves, making their own money, and often living alone. Sometimes they will ask men for help, but they usually don't want to be protected. Since the women's movement started, it's not always clear whether women expect men to open doors or help them into their coats. American women may start conversations with men or even ask them to dance.
There are a lot of Americans who don't smoke or drink, and many who don't want people to do those things in their houses. It's always best to ask for permission before you,bring alcohol to a dinner or before you light up a cigarette, if you are with people you don't ,know very well. Non-smokers have become more militant (好战的) about smoking in public places. Many restaurants, for example, have set up special areas for smokers.
House guests may bring gifts when they come to visit, and they often offer to help in some way. As a guest, you may want to ask your host or hostess if there's anything you can do to help in the kitchen. In many cases, the gesture is more important than actually helping.
