  XinJiang:The plane carrying the bodies of three Chinese engineers, who were shot dead in Pakistan on Wednesday, landed at Urumqi airport on Friday.

  Investigations are focusing on why no guards escorted the engineers the day when they were attacked.Local police usually accompanied the group during their travels in the country.

  Earlier in the day, 10 other Chinese engineers who worked together with the victims returned to Hefei.They were all from Hefei Cement Research & Design Institute, and were in Pakistan to offer technical services for the construction of a cement factory there.

  The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive (综合的) exam for students who seek to study in America and other English-speaking countries, Xin Hua News Agency(新华社) reported from New York.

  The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang-whei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America's leading educational organization.

  The Advanced Placement International English Language ( APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.

  However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similar popularity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign language) , the GRE (Graduate Record Examination ), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

  “I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,”said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (北京航天航空大学), who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.

  Most of Xu's classmates have never heard of the APIEL.“The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.”said Jen.

  The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately (准确地) reflect the abilities of students to use the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xin Hua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission(录取).

  Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL, measures a student's ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy (精确) and resourcefulness (机智), and writing with clarity (明晰) and fluency (流畅), Jen said.

D.Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.

3.The underlined word current (in Paragraph 2) means ________.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the news report?

Here's Trouble

  There is no other five-year-old like him. He has a potato - shaped head, bushy eyebrows and a voice that is not easily forgotten. He is not evil, but trouble follows him wherever he goes.

  Crayon Shin-chan enjoys great popularity in China. He has many fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and on the mainland. And he is one of the hottest cartoon characters in his home country, Japan.

  But, the troublemaker's show was ranked the No. 1 most unwanted cartoon program by Japan's Parents Association on April 18.

  More than half the parents who took part in the study thought Shin-chan was a negative(消极的)role model for children. They believed his actions and speech were adult in nature and not suitable for kids.

  Many parents and education experts in China agree with them. Shin-chan, they say, is really offensive(令人讨厌的). “Crayon Shin-chan is full of humor. The boy shows some terrible adult mentality(想法), which doesn't match his age,” said Pang Lijuan, a professor of the Education Department at Beijing Normal University.

  Pang further pointed out that Shin-chan destroys the traditional image of a polite, hard-working boy. She fears that some teens may copy his behavior and harm their psychological development.

  Pang and many others in China think that Shin-chan is a cartoon for adults, not for children.

  But some kids disagree. Jiang Xin, a senior 2 student in Luhe Middle School in Beijing, became a fan of Shinchan after he first saw the cartoon two years ago. He said it is Shin-chan's humor, courage and cleverness that make him and his friends love the little cartoon character. “Shin-chan looks at the adults' world with kids' eyes. He uncovers the hypocrisy(伪善)and selfishness in a childish way,” explained Jiang, “We watch it just for fun.”

  Shin-chan's “father”, Japan's popular cartoonist, Yoshito Usui, never thought Shin-chan would cause such a heated discussion. He argued that Shin-chan is a childish copy of Japan's middle-aged men. The boy does everything adults would like, but don't dare to do. “People can easily forgive him because he's only five years old,” said Yoshito.

  During the Spring Festival holidays, pets’ beauty salons were inundated by pets and their loving owners. The tendency to treat pets as a family member is spreading in big cities in China, and daily care services for pets have the potential (潜力,潜能)to become profitable earners following endorsement (认可,支持)by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security as one of nine “new careers(职业)”last December.

Li Xin, a pet stylist at Beijing Pet Hospital, told Beijing Star Daily that regular health care for pets was necessary, including combing, bathing, cleaning the ears, and trimming the nails and hair.

  “It needs great care and patience for every step. Care needs to be taken when trimming a puppy’s nails, for example. After the basic health requirements comes the individual styling, which depends on the character of the pets and on the weather. ”

For newcomers, the starting monthly salary is around two thousand Yuan. After working for two to three years, those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn between 3,000and 8,000, while an experienced one might make 10,000.

  BEIJING-After a night of wining and dining with 50 of China's richest people, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates told the journalists on Thursday that the biggest difference between eating with Chinese tycoons(企业界大亨)and Western ones was the food.

  “I was amazed last night, really, at how similar the questions and discussions and all that were to those in the dinners we had in the U.S.,” said Mr.Buffett.

  Mr.Buffett and Mr.Gates, two of the best known Westerners here, announced in September, 2010 that they planned to invite 50 wealthy Chinese tycoons to dinner in Beijing to encourage philanthropy(慈善事业)among China's new rich.

  On Thursday, the two men pronounced the dinner a great success, saying that two-thirds of those invited had shown up, and that more than half of them had offered their own ideas on how Chinese philanthropy should work.

  The guest list wasn't made public, but the Chinese news media reported that it included Jet Li, the movie star; Niu Gensheng, the founder of a Chinese dairy business; and Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, who control the SOHO China real estate(房地产)empire.

  As with four earlier dinners held in the United States, Mr.Buffett and Mr.Gates said, no one at the Beijing event was asked to donate money or to promise to engage in charity.“Bill and I won't be calling anybody.What happens in China will depend on what the Chinese people feel about a project of this sort,” said Mr.Buffett.

  China is widely reported to be second only to the United States in the number of dollar billionaires.Mr.Gates and Mr.Buffett said the nation was unique because its wealthy class had arisen almost wholly in the past 30 years, so the philanthropic practices established among European and American dynasties are new here, and open to change.

  The two said the dinner wasn't a long planned matter, but an offshoot of a trip that Mr.Buffett had already scheduled to Guangdong and Hunan Provinces, where BYD Company, a maker of clean-energy automobiles, has factories.Mr.Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, holds a 10%stake(股金)in the company.

  But Mr.Gates suggested that their philanthropic trip wasn't yet over.“We may do an event in India,” he said.

(1)

[  ]

A.

A brief analysis of future philanthropy.

B.

The development of Chinese philanthropy.

C.

A.

the dinner was quite a success

B.

the food in the dinner was very delicious

C.

Chinese tycoons are similar to Western ones

D.

(3)

Beijing will be the last stop of their philanthropic trip
