  A Chinese satellite is expected to orbit Mars in 2009, thanks to an agreement the country signed with Russia on Monday.

  During President Hu Jintao's visit to Moscow, the two countries agreed to carry out an unmanned project together to the red planet and one of its moons in two years, the China National Space Administration said yesterday in Beijing.

  The agreement represents a“milestone”in the history of space cooperation between the two neighbors, the agency said in a statement.

  According to the agreement, a micro-satellite developed by China will be sent up along with“Phobos Explorer”, the Russia spacecraft, on top of a Russian rocket in 2009.

  The timetable was not mentioned, but earlier Russian reports said the launch window for the 10-11 month voyage to Phobos, a Martian moon, will be October 2009.

  After entering Mars' orbit, the Chinese micro-satellite will be removed from the Russian spacecraft, and probe the Martian space environment.

  The“Phobos Explorer”spacecraft, with some equipment developed by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, will land on the Martian moon and return to Earth with soil samples(样本).

  Last year, the Russian space chief told that his country would work“closely”with China on moon exploration.

  Youriy Nosenko, chief of the Russian space agency, told a press conference in Beijing last November that Russia regards China as a“partner”in space exploration, and the two sides have shown interest in a moon project.

  China has started a three-stage moon exploration project, including sending a moon orbiter some time this year, followed by a soft landing in 2012 and the return of moon samples in another five years.

The results of the US/NATO bombing Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do this. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.
  First of all, the main aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes, not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize by now how wrong they were when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.
  So, what’s left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonia. It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族人) will not give up on Kosovo.
  I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now, and it doesn’t frighten me anymore. I don’t turn to the shelter at the sound of warning. It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed(流血事件) in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?
72. Which of the following statements is true?
  A. The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.
  B. The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.
  C. The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.
  D. The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.
73. The writer is _____.
  A. an American reporter      B. a Chinese reporter
  C. a Macedonian        D. a Yugoslavian
74. What worries the writer most?
  A. The continuous bombing.      B. The coming of the ground troops.
  C. The sound of bomb warning.    D. The idea of ground troops.
75. What is the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?
  A. It is the US/NATO’s duty to defend Kosovo.
  B. It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.
  C. The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.

  TAIBEI—Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.

  According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.

  The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities . “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.

  A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there.”

  Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.

  At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities.
