China is facing power shortage, so your computer and television may be on holiday.

This year power shortages cover 20 provinces across the country. The shortage can usually be blamed on air conditioners. Wuhan, in Hubei province, as much as 100,000kw of electricity would be saved if people set their air conditioners one degree higher than normal.

You may have many household electrical appliances(¼ÒÓõçÆ÷)in your home. The following tips can help you save electricity.

Use air conditioners less. Set the temperature a little bit higher than normal and turn it off one hour before you go out.

Turn off the lights when you leave a room.

Unplug electricity devices when not in use. Many televisions and computers use electricity even when they are turned off.

In rooms where you don¡¯t often stay for long, close curtains during the day to keep off the sun, especially on windows that face south or west. Open them in the evening to let cool air in so you may not need to use air conditioners.

Take shorter showers. Water heaters use a lot of energy.

Open your refrigerator door only when necessary. Each time you open the door, the compressor(ѹËõ»ú) will run for 8-10 minutes to keep the inside cold.

Ask your parents to replace your regular lights with fluorescent(Ó«¹âµÄ)lights. They use about a fourth of the energy of regular lights.

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.

Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China¡¯s high-speed railway system. And that¡¯s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan¡ª to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.

China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.

China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.

If China¡¯s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.

The new system would still follow China¡¯s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.

China¡¯s bullet train (¸ßËٿͳµ), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world¡¯s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.

Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (¹ì¾à), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it¡¯s important to pay attention to every detail.

But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.

China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.

It¡¯ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.

For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China¡¯s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they¡¯ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. ¡°One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.¡± said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.

In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 ¡°Toubon law¡± in France, but the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.

It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the ¡°purity¡± of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but there has not been a barrier to acquiring prestige and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.

The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon¡ªespecially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new modes of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.

1.Neville Alexander believes that         .

A£®mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries

B£®lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure

C£®globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trends

D£®globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa

A£®useless           B£®practical          C£®workable          D£®unnecessary

3.Why do many English-speaking countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?

A£®They think language protection laws are ineffective.

D£®It reduces a language¡¯s ability to acquire international importance.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A£®English has taken over fields like public communication and education.

B£®Europeans have long realized the need to protect their national languages.

C£®Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.

D£®Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.

5.The main idea of the passage is       .  

A£®Fighting against the rule of English

B£®Globalization and multi-language trends
