   British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Wednesday that boycotting the Beijing Olympic Games is not the right path to take.

  "We are ever excited about prospects for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing," Mili?band said in an interview with Chinese reporters in London before his visit to China.

  "Everything we have seen and read suggests that preparations are proceeding in an excellent way. We very much look forward to a very successful Olympics, successful for China and suc?cessful for the world. We certainly believe that boycotts are not a right way," he said.

  "China has big responsibilities around the world. We are looking forward to working with the Chinese government to ensure the values of stability, security and social justice. And only today I spoke with (Chinese Foreign Minister) Yang about our joint work that could help the situation in Darfur. And the Chinese envoy(特使)to Darfur is in London today, that sort of en?gagement is the right way to go and boycotts are not the right way," Miliband said.

  "The prime minister (Gordon Brown) is determined to represent the whole of the country with his attendance to the Games," he added.

  Miliband expressed his high regard to the bilateral(双边的)relations between Britain and China. "I can't think about a time that our relations are stronger, that is symbolized by the visit of the prime minister to China last month but also by cultural events like China now going on in Britain.”

British people are fascinated by the changes and improvements going on in China, and are trying to build bridges between the two nations, the foreign secretary said.

  "Both our countries are challenged by the facts of globalization. Economic and social changes are producing challenges for both the societies,challenges about security and stability, challenges about justice,challenges about environment,and the theme of my visit is how our two countries can work together and learn from each other in adapting to these challenges”,the secretary told Chinese reporters.

 Traveling out for a short time always seems great fun. But one thing you must consider is packing. Here are some tips to help you pack.

  Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. Keep the list for future reference(参考)-

Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo,toothpaste,and other items at your local shops. You can use the plastic container the next time you go away,too.

  It's the best to be prepared and bring these items with you,but in an emergency, you can get them at the place you are going to. This is wonderful for light traveling (you'd be surprised at how much those little things can weigh you down) ,but remember that the time you spend buying things at the destination will reduce your visiting time.

  It is the hardest thing to make a decision which clothes are suitable for the trip. Think once again from head to toe―hats,shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you have packed out what you wanted to bring with you,think carefully―do you really need that extra one? If so,fine,but make sure they are really worth the extra weight.

Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it is cold,you can wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt,and a T-shirt. Laying up will keep you warm,and it will leave more room in your bag. After all,you are just visiting, not moving in for good. You probably won't miss the extra sweater too much for a few days,and it certainly won't miss you. 

(   ) 1. What is the main idea of this passage?

(   ) 3. The underlined phrase "laying up" in the last paragraph means .

The Lord of the Rings, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年),was made up of three parts ―The Fellowship of the Ring,Two Towers,and The Return of the King. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over25different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt,Tolkien and his cousins were fond of playing languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien,s becoming skilled in Welsh,Greek,Gothic,Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

After graduating from Oxford,Tolkien served in World War L In 1917, while recovering from trench fever,he began composing the mythology(神话)for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford,Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings,which included  several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien,s imaginative work The Hobbit, Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(乡村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them,Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏懦).On the way,he meets the twisted,pitiful creature Gollum,from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

One of Tolkien's students persuaded her employer,publisher Allen & Unwin,to look at the draft(草稿).The chairman of the firm,Stanley Unwin,thought that the best judge for a children' s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting,and The Hobbit was published in 1937.
