A micro blog with space for 140 Chinese characters had once been a source of endless amusement for Wang Ganghui, a senior majoring in biochemistry at Ji'nan University.
　 Until last month, the 21-year-old had believed that he was part of a broader movement. Recently, however, Wang's micro blog is silent.

The reason? It's because of a woman known as "Zhao Meimei". Earlier this month, Wang joined many other users to criticize the US-based student for her wealthy overseas life, because they thought her money came from corruption since her mother was a local official.
　 But later Wang found out that the woman student was actually being supported by her father, a hard-working businessman.
　 "I felt guilty… Someone hid part of the truth to make a conflict. The worst thing is – I did not even have a chance to apologize to her," he says.
　 Wang is not the only young Internet user to be confused by an online world made up entirely of broken information. According to official statistics, the number of micro bloggers in China now exceed 300 million.
　 For private users, a micro blog can provide real-time updates from anyone a user chooses to "follow". These can range from family members to celebrities (名人). Information can instantly be spread through "re-tweeting". In the public area, however, a micro blog can also become a link between users and the authorities.
　 However, with the increasing popularity of micro blogs comes a number of problems. Chen Changfeng, deputy director of the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, stressed two major types of misbehavior that can occur on micro blogs and upset young users.
　 "Some marketers spread fake news just to make some person or product known to more people; others use the free channel to manufacture and spread fake news and rumors like a virus," Chen says.
　 He says that an average micro blogger receives and transmits information, but when faced with such a vast amount of information, he may lack the ability to tell the difference between the real and the fake stories.
　 Having realized this, Internet users have come together to combat (抗击) micro blog misconduct by forming voluntary groups such as the Rumor Clarification Association.

The government and individual operators of micro-blogging sites have also stepped in to monitor posted content.

In these tough economic times many people are making their food go a little further than they perhaps used to. And for many that might mean ignoring the best before date, but one German man has taken it to the extreme by eating the contents of a 64-year-old tin.

In the late 1940's the United States was helping Germany overcome the hardships of the second World War. Food parcels were a vital part of the rebuilding effort and Swift's bland lard (猪油) was one of the less exciting ingredients. But it was apparently long lasting. The tin with its red, white and blue label still whole survived in Hans Feldmeier's cupboard. So the 87-year-old retired chemist decided to test its suitability for eating.

"I didn't open it because I thought the situation could get even worse. I hope that we are not running into tough times like we had after World War II, even despite the financial crisis we are facing."

And his gamble (大胆尝试) paid off. The tests run by scientists in his home town of Rostock showed it was indeed fit for consumption (消费), saving Mr. Feldmeier a precious few Euros. But he did spend a lot of money on a loaf of black bread on which it was spread before he and the scientists ate it. So what did it taste like?

"I thought it would taste unpleasant, but it doesn't. I'm totally surprised that it shows absolutely no sign of being not fresh." Said the employee of Office of Agriculture, Food Safety and Fisheries

The tin showed no expiry (到期日), so to adapt an old saying, it seems the proof of the lard, if not the pudding, really was in the eating.

56. Which of the following statements about the 64-year-old tin is not true? 

A. Its owner is a German.

B. It is from the United States.

C. It is one of the favorite food of Germans.

D. It is suitable to be stored.

57. Hans Feldmeier didn't eat the tin because ________.  

A. it didn't taste well

B. he forgot it in the cupboard

C. he stored it in case of the hard time

D. he wanted to test its' suitability for eating

58. The underlined part "paid off" can be replaced by ________. 

A. was a success   

B. was paid by others

C. was dangerous

D. drew scientists' attention

59. How about the result of the test?

A. The tin tastes even better than the fresh one.

B. It shows that the tin’s owner missed the best before date.

C. It is the same as the scientists thought before the test.

D. It is still fit for eating.

60. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage? 

A. Economics                                    B. Business
