BEIJING, Oct. 7－“Super Girl” winner Li Yuchun, with her tomboy-style hair and shy smile appears on the cover of the latest edition of Time Asia Magazine, issued on Monday, as one of the 25 Asia Heroes of 2005.

Six people from China were on the Asia Hero list, including actress Zhang Jingchu who played the heroine in the Silver Bear Award winning movie “Peacock” at this year’s Berlin film Festival and Taiwan dance artist Lin Hwai-min who founded the Cloud Gate Dance Theater. The other Asia heroes are from Japan, India, Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea, including volunteers who helped search for missing people in the last year’s havoc(大破坏) caused by tsunami.

Time said the 21-year-old Li, a pop singer major at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, has become a new pop icon for her boyish charm and unconventional personality.

Li polled more than 3.5 million votes via cell phone text message at the finals of “Super Girl”, the Chinese version of “American Idol”.

The gala finale attracted about 400 million viewers, nearly one third of China’s population.

According to the magazine, the influence brought by the “Li Yuchun phenomenon” goes far beyond her voice in China. Her “attitude, originality and a proud androgyny” are challenging the country’s traditional customs.

Time said actress Zhang, “with her taste for traditionally inspired dress and her reverence(尊敬) for ancient Chinese aphorisms(格言),” maybe a perfect ambassador for China.

Described by Time as “Asia’s synthesizing dance genius,” dancer Lin’s outdoor performance in Taipei could attracted an audience of more than 60,000.

It is the fourth consecutive year the magazine has elected Asia Heroes.

The listed heroes are considered brave, courageous, persistent and can encourage locals.

Last year, Athens Olympics champion Liu Xiang and prima ballerina(芭蕾舞主要女演员) Tan Yuanyuan from China were on the list.

The kids at Shute Country School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it’s time to go home in the afternoon. Instead of the unusual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other, “are the lights all off?”, “Shall we check the tap in case they are dripping?”, “How many paper towels did we use today?”

But it’s not unusual here. The kids have declared a war on waste.

“We’ve never made the children to anything,” explains Liz Templar, the school’s head teacher. “they came up with all the ideas themselves. They are doing this because they want to.”

If you take a look around the school you won’t see anything thrown away unnecessarily. Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.

Shute School started its green revolution two years ago. They looked carefully at every part of school life－from the teaching to the cleaning. They looked at the way stationery was used－especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used－and wasted!

Even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? Did they use unleaded petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?

High on the list was the waste of paper. Next came unfriendly cleaning products. Paper towels were replaced with recycled paper. But the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks eaten at lunch time. Of their own record, the children gave them up. Now they bring apples and home-made snacks.

The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. They also use this area for their recycling store－large containers to collect aluminum, bottles, paper and fabric.

Even the school’s play area is made from recycled things.

Since the children started, the school’s heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.

Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and to keep the green flag flying.

69．Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea?

　　 A．The pupils at Shute school are fighting against pollution.

　　 B．The pupils at Shute school are learning to save things.

　　 C．The pupils at Shute school have declared a war on waste.

　　 D．The pupils at Shute school have found a way to recycle waste things.

70．Children at Shute Country Primary School bring apples and home-made snacks to in school in order to ______________.

　　 A．create less rubbish　　　　　　　 B．save money

　　 C．obey the school rules　　　　　　 D．keep their promise

71．We can infer from the text that “green rubbish” means ____________.

　　 A．beautifying schoolyard　　　　　 B．actions against waste

　　 C．planting green plants　　　　　　 D．throwing away waste

72．We learn from the text that the children’s behavior ___________.

　　 A．has brought argument　　　　　　 B．is forced by their head teacher.

　　 C．is against by their parents　　　 D．has saved the school’s expenses

Florence Sephton is 77 and lives in Deganwy, North Wales. She is reading for an arts degree. “I’m more of a creature to polish my mind than polish my furniture. The house takes second place while I put the studying first.”

“I was very happy at school and had wonderful teaching. I passed the university entrance examination and was ready to go to university but with World War Ⅱ, I went into banking. I was paid ￡1 a week. Manchester University kept my place open for three years but I was enjoying the money and the freedom so I turned it down.”

Mrs. Sephton is now in the second year of her Open University course and is finding it hard work.

“I’m feeling tired more frequently. I can’t do more than an hour’s work at a time. The memory’s shocking. I’m supposed to be reviewing and I look up notes I took earlier this year and think, ‘Have you read this before? ‘So I’m doing it very slowly, one credit a year, so it’ll take six years.”

“At the moment the greatest reward is simply the increase in knowledge and the discipline. I had an essay failed this week. The professor said I hadn’t answered the question. I’ve been thinking about it all week. I find it difficult to organize ideas of an essay properly. I just let myself go and get excited. I feel more emotionally than I do mentally. I’m very ordinary really.”

While claiming to be ordinary and lazy, Mrs. Sephton is still working hard daily at her assignments. Mrs. Sephton sees her studeies as keeping her fit and independent. “Because of my life I’ve been self-sufficient. It’s not a very nice characteristic. It means I don’t care enough about people. I can’t say I find comfort in what I’m learning, so I’ll be interested to see if there is a life ahead.”

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials(商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed－new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests－even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
