Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace-and blessings from China—to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Friendlies also embody the natural characteristics of four of China’s most popular animals—the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow—and the Olympic Flame.
Each of the Friendlies has a rhyming two-syllable name—a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China.Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together—Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni—they say “Welcome to Beijing,” offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five Friendlies as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
The Five Friendlies also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China.In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature—the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky—all stylistic rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.

Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states.They wanted to buy lottery tickets.The tickets cost only ﹩0.9 each.But that small spending could bring them a reward of ﹩90 million.That was the second largest lottery jackpot(积累奖金)in history.
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing.Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80.The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million.But that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales.In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action.Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people.It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized(合法化的) gambling.Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets.There are also many addicts who take the game seriously.They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets.Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes.The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens.But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice(恶习), under the name of social progress.No matter whether you regard state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.
59.The main idea of the passage is that .
A.lotteries are of great benefit to everyone who buys them
B.playing a lottery is just like investing in the stock market
C.a lot of people buy lottery tickets, but lotteries cause disagreement
D.lotteries are just legalized vice
60.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Politicians like lotteries because they don’t have to pay extra tax.
B.The popularity of lotteries in America actually is social progress.
C.Some critics don’t like lotteries because many poor people waste their money on them.
D.People love the lottery because it is a stock market.
61.In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery sold tickets totaling .
A.$1.62million B.﹩90million C.﹩9.6million D.﹩87million
62.People who are addicted to playing lotteries should .
A.join a club B.kick the habit
C.win the Pennsylvania D.save every cent

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do.Birthday celebrate the day when we were born.Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity(成熟)—or so we hope.We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older.Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well.For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud.For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process.But growing old? That is a different story.
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心)American culture.Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young.As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old.People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom.But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden.Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by.Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income.Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference.Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing.Some even experience age discrimination(歧视).American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets.She was often treated rudely-even cheated and robbed.However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast.Why? People are living longer.Fewer babies are being born.And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly.America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”.Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.
63.Growing up is a wonderful thing because
A.people can celebrate their birthday
B.people can become more mature and wiser
C.people can receive many presents
D.people will feel younger at heart
64.We can infer from the second paragraph that
A.young people lack experience and wisdom
B.American older people often joke about their old age
C.American culture is very young
D.different countries have different opinions on the old age
65.What does the first sentence in the third paragraph mean?
A.the golden years can make the old earn lots of money and receive good medical care
B.the old in America are leading a hard life without good nutrition, medical care or housing
C.the old in America have to retire at the age of 65
D.American social security benefits are not good
66.What does the underlined word “in ”in the last paragraph mean?
A.serious B.cool
C.disappearing slowly D.growing fast
67.According to this passage, which of the following statement is correct?
A.the young are much more respected than the old in America.
B.the old are much more respected than the young in America.
C.growing old makes people feel proud in America.
D.the young are often discriminated in America

Institutional construction is needed to guarantee public participation in environmental protection, says a commentary in Dazhong Daily.An excerpt follows.
The State Environment Protection Administration(SEPA) last week released a set of guidelines on public participation in environmental impact(影响) assessment, encouraging direct involvement from the general public in the country’s environmental affairs.
This is the first official document on public involvement in the environmental sector, which will make government decisions in the sector more transparent and democratic.Last year, a series of environment issues plunged SEPA into an administrative accountability(问责)storm.The issues include a construction project that could lead to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, water pollution in the Songhua Rive and disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River.Then came the “environment impact assessment storm,” which showed the efforts made by the government in this aspect.
Although there are some articles on public involvement in the Environment Impact Assessment Law, they are very ambiguous and not practical.The temporary measures give specific arrangement procedures.It gives recognition and respect to the public rights to environment participation, and also shows the government’s open mind for better environment participation.But such a right of participation is still partial in the assessment stage.There is still a lack of arrangements in the policy-making and law-enforcement phases.
In a modern society, every citizen has a right to live in a good environment.Citizens should be able to participate based on their rights t know.Marking such temporary measures is a good way to realize citizens’ right to participate.But more should be included, such as citizens’ rights to participate in law-making, policy-making and law-enforcement.There should be an open mechanism to provide environment information, and a democratic system encouraging the public to participate in decision-making concerning the environment.
68.Which is not the last year’s environment issue?
A.a construction project leading to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace
B.water pollution in the Songhua River
C.disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River
D.measures to guarantee public participation in environmental protection
69.The underlined word “transparent” in the third paragraph probably means?
A.clear B.doubt C.temporary D.clean
70.The best title of this passage is .
A.Public can help environment
B.The serious environmental problems
C.The government can protect the environment
D.The public’s rights
71.Which of the following is not the citizens’ right to help environmental protection?
A.the right to participate in making laws
B.the right to be responsible for environmental disasters
C.the right to participate in making policies
D.the right to participate in law-enforcement

Anti-bird flu contingency(意外事故) measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics(后勤)measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council’s Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month.Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong.
Speaking on a radio talk show this morning.Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering(屠宰)house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens.
He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally.If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice.
He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made.
Regarding avian flu vaccination(种痘) for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed.He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus.
He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help.He added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak.
72.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______.
A.the government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird flu
B.an outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightened
C.anti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next month
D.Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan
73.According the final decision will be made mainly depends on ____
A.separate poultry form humans
B.set up a central slaughtering house
C.set up several regional slaughtering houses
D.get avian flu vaccination
74.When the final decision will be made mainly depends on _____
A.the demand for live chickens
B.the views of the public
C.the advice from experts
D.the time when regional slaughtering houses will be finished
75.Which of the following statements isn’t Dr York Chow’s opinion?
A.Hong Kong is better at dealing with viral outbreaks than its neighbours
B.Infectious diseases could happen in any country
C.Other territories should ask Hong Kong for help because it has more experience
D.Cooperation is quite necessary when danger is coming
