Once, there was a woman who had so many problems, so many worries, so many troubles… that at times she felt she had more troubles than anyone else in the world!

She was depressed. She thought she could never overcome her troubles, so she decided to end her life. That night she went to sleep early and she planned to commit suicide the next morning. But that night she had a dream…

She found herself in a large cave, surrounded by gray bundles (包袱) of all shapes and sizes. Walking toward her was a woman with flowing long white hair.

“Who are you?” asked the dreamer, “and what is this place?”

“This is the cave of bundles of troubles and I am the keeper of the cave.”

“Bundles of troubles?”

“Yes,” the keeper explained, “each person who walks on the earth carries a bundle of troubles on their left shoulder.” The dreamer turned to look and there was a gray bundle on her left shoulder—it had been there all the time and she never noticed!

“If you wish,” the keeper continued,” you can take your bundle down and exchange it for another.”

“Really?” The woman lowered the bundle from her left shoulder. Oh, it felt so good to put it down. Then she picked up a beautiful bundle.

The keeper said, “Why don’t you open it and look inside?”

So the woman opened it and looked inside. “But these are the same troubles I brought here!”

The keeper of the cave smiled softly and nodded. “That’s usually what happens, but do not despair, for there is another bundle on your right shoulder that should help lighten your load.”

The woman turned and saw another bundle on her right shoulder. It had been there all the time and she never noticed! The woman took it down and opened it. Inside were her talents, her gifts, her hopes and opportunities. The woman felt her heart filled with joy and she looked up to thank the keeper of the cave, but she was gone; all were gone. And she found herself sitting up in her own bed with the morning sun streaming through the window, shining on her face.

1.Why did the woman decide to end her life?

A. Because there were two gray bundles on her shoulders.

B. Because she always had bad dreams at night.

C. Because the keeper of the cave told her to do so.

China has recently been faced with serious issues of product safety. In Panama ,it is said that medicine made with a poisonous chemical sickened some people. A Chinese company had identified it as diethylamide glycol(乙二醇),a low-cost substitute commonly used in automobile antifreeze(防冻剂).

Some countries have banned Chinese-made toothpaste containing diethylamide glycol. China has now told companies to discontinue its use, even though it says the toothpaste is safe. Another industrial chemical, melamine, was found in wheat flour used to make pet food in North America. Thousands of dogs and cats became sick.

The United States has restricted some imports of Chinese seafood because they contained banned substance. And questions have been raised about other products, including children's toys covered with lead paint.

Chinese officials promised to provide the European Union, the biggest trading partner, with detailed reports on enforcement efforts against unsafe goods.

Meglena Kuneva, commissioner(理事) for consumer protection of the European Union said China should have kept its promise.

China recently closed three companies linked to the Panama and the pet food scare. And it dismissed the former head of its food and drug administration. He was found guilty of corruption(腐败)for approving unsafe drugs. This week, a conference of the State Council approved a proposed special measure on the supervision of food safety. The Xinhua News Agency said it calls for stronger controls over producers, greater responsibilities for government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.

But Chinese officials have accused some foreign media of overstating problems with goods made in China. They say food imports from the United States also fail inspection sometimes. Next week, American and Chinese food safety officials are planning to hold 5 days of meetings in Beijing to discuss cooperation.

1.How many cases with safety problems are mentioned in the passage?

A. Six. B. Five. C. Four. D. Three.

2.How was Panama case dealt with afterwards?

A. Three companies linked to it were closed down.

B. The former head of food and drug administration was removed from his position.

C. More serious punishment was conducted for leaders linked to it.

D. Both A and B.

3.It can be implied but not clearly stated that________.

A. Chinese-made toothpaste is safe

B. the safety of "Made in China" is doubted

C. there are safety problems with more Chinese products

D. stronger control over Chinese products is in need

4.The passage is mainly about________.

A. China is facing product safety problems

B. more controls are taken of Chinese goods
