Beijing put 200 more buses on the city’s streets on Saturday, September 22, 2007, for the convenience(方便) of citizens who left their cars at home to support "Car Free Day". In some downtown areas of Beijing, private cars were forbidden from 7 a.m. to 7p.m. on the day.
Beijing was one of the 108 Chinese cities, which also included Shanghai, Jinan, Fuzhou, Kunming, Changsha and Taiyuan that responded positively to the "Car Free Day".
"Since the 'Car Free Day' is meant to reduce pollution and traffic jams, all drivers should support it." said Li Ming, a taxi driver in Beijing.
In Fuzhou, capital city of Fujian Province, banners printed with the slogan "Green Travel" appeared in most busy streets.
"Green travel is both the responsibility of the public and the government. As the public transport system can’t satisfy people’s needs, many people turn to private cars. The government should try to improve the public transport system so people will use private cars less." said Xu Doudou, head of the Humanity Institute of Fuzhou University.
Every September 22 is a "Car Free Day" in many countries around the world. Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province, pioneered (做先锋) China's first "Car Free Day" on October 14, 2000. It resulted in a 37.5 percent drop in traffic accidents and noise reduction.
September 22, 2007 marks China’s first large-scale participation in "Car Free Day". The number of cars dropped noticeably in most of the participating cities on the day.
73. Which of the following is NOT the purpose of setting up "Car Free Day"?
A. To protect the environment. B. To improve traffic flow.
C, To reduce noise pollution. D. To stop car production.
74. According to Xu Doudou, to encourage people not to use private cars, we should____.
A. make fewer cars B. make more buses
C. improve the public transport system D. tell people cars do harm to the environment
75. Which city first celebrated "Car Free Day" in China?
A. Beijing. B. Chengdu. C. Shanghai. D. Fuzhou.
73-75 DCB
解析:
本文主要介绍了2007年9月22日我国一些城市参与了"无车日"活动
73. D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，设立"Car Free Day"的主要目的是减少污染和缓解交通堵塞;从倒数第二段最后一句话可以推断"无车日"可以改善交通状况，所以A、B、C三项都是该活动的目的;停止汽车生产并不是其目的，因此D为正确答案。
74. C 细节理解题。根据第五段"The government should try to improve the public transport system so people will use private cars less"可知C项正确。
75. B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句，可知成都是第一个举行“无车日”活功的城市，因此B项正确。
“I was only thirteen when four of my team members and I were chosen by my swim coach to train with the Chinese National Team. The following piece shows how that experience has influenced me.”
The night before I left for China, my mother called me into her room. I entered not knowing what to expect. I sat down at the end of her very neatly-made bed, opposite the bedroom table on which she kept a Ming-style vase illustrated in great detail. She told me that my great-grandmother was still living in the surroundings of Beijing. Her name was Ren Li Ling and she was 97 years old. This was the first time I had ever heard of her.
The dragon on the vase snaked through the flowers and vines（藤蔓）as my mother said, “Pu Pu, look at me. You need to hear this so that when you go to China you will understand. You must keep this knowledge in your heart.”
She told me a story about my grandfather, Ren Li Ling's son, who left Beijing to go to college in Taiwan. She told me how the Chinese civil war kept him away from his mother for fifty years, so neither of them even knew that the other was alive. No one from Taiwan could visit, write, or call anyone in mainland. All lines of communication were cut off.
She told me of my grandfather's devotion to his own children, and how difficult it was for him to send his daughter to America for her education, fearing that same separation. He gave my mother all that he could give — nineteen years of love and fifty years of savings. I learned how my mother, through means only available in this country, would finally be able to unite my great-grandmother with my grandfather again. The dragon curled around the vase, connecting the separate vines. For a fleeting second, I felt it was present in my mother's room. It was all very strange, yet very clear. I began to understand that this trip to China was not just for me; it was for my mother, and her father, and his mother. Now, I had not only a future, but more significantly, a past. I saw the world with new eyes.
And so I went to China and met my great-grandmother. My great-aunt picked me up at the training center, and we rode in a taxi through the crowded city. The noise of the taxi and the city united into a deep roar. We finally stopped in front of a narrow street lined on either side with small one-level houses. As we made our way to a house like all the others, I drew the stares of many people in the street. My great-aunt led me through a rotting（朽烂的）doorway into a room with a furnace（炉子）, table, and a rocking chair where an old woman wearing gloves sat facing the doorway, covered with a worn brown blanket. I walked over and immediately embraced this frail woman as if I had known her all my life. My limited, broken Chinese wasn't up to expressing my complicated feelings. And even though I couldn't completely understand what she was saying in her thick Beijing accent, I knew — the same way I knew what my mother had been trying to tell me before I left. Her joy shone through her toothless smile. She wouldn't let go of my hand. I haltingly（结结巴巴地）asked her how she had managed to live such a long life. She answered in words I will never forget, “Hope has kept me alive. I have lived this long because I wanted to see my son before I died.”
My fellow team members must have wondered how two people separated by three generations could be so close. Before this trip, I would have wondered the same thing. And even now, I can't quite explain it. We were as different as two people can be; some 85 years and 8,000 miles apart. We came from two entirely different cultures; yet we were connected by a common heritage(传统).
I stayed for dinner which was cooked in a black iron wok（锅）over the furnace. The meal was lavish（过分丰盛的）, prepared in my honor. As I began to eat, with my great-grandmother beside me, I felt the dragon was present. But this time, the feeling didn't pass; the dragon had become a part of me.
My great-grandmother passed away last year at the age of 100. With her highest hopes and wildest dreams fulfilled, I know she died happy.

If you thought sports stars Yao Ming
and Liu Xiang or Internet entrepreneurs Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei would automatically be on the list of the” Men of Our Time”，then you could be behind the times．
The surprise in the list of 10 men released by the All-China Women’s Federation yesterday is that it contains no celebrities- and the guiding factors seem to be care and sympathy for the opposite sex．
In fact，Liu and Yao，as well as actor Pu Cunxin—the image ambassador for China’s anti-HIV，AIDS campaign—appeared in a booklet given out at the contest’s launch ceremony in January．The federation wouldn’t say why they are not in the final list．
The winners，with an average age of 47．5，were selected by women officials and journalists of the nine women’s newspapers in China，whose standard was men promoting equality between the sexes．
Li Zhong hua, a 46-year—old air force officer who test-flies planes，said he thought he was chosen because” he takes good care of his family，and is a gentleman”．
”Gentlemen get more respect in our society．They should be like those in the movie Titanic，who let women and children lave first in life rafts。”he told China Daily．
Shi Hua shan，a 48-year-old policeman in Gui xi of Jiangxi Province，said that he became a”man in the eyes of women” because” women love stories of heroes saving beauties"．
His team has re
scued more than 180 women who were taken away by force and sold as wives in the mountain regions of Fujian Province．
Some other” Men of Our Time” are：
Lang Jinghe，67，gynecologist at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing，who has made breakthroughs in ovarian cancer；
Ma Li，33，official in Xuzhou of Jiangsu Province，whose shelter has helped 196 victims of domestic violence；Li Mingshull，43，lawyer in Beijing，who is active in campaigns against family violence；Liu Ri，51，a mine worker in Lu’an of Shanxi Province，who took care of his paralyzed
