   Chinese press and thousands of tourists have gathered at China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwestern Sichuan Province on Tuesday, October 23 to witness the launch of the nation’s first moon orbiter, which is scheduled to take place at 6:05 p.m. on Wednesday.

Hundreds of domestic reporters, more than 2,000 tourists from all over the country, and space experts from Japan, Germany, Italy and other countries invited by the Chinese space authorities have gathered at the launch center, waiting to see the historic moment. “I’ve seen launches of satellites for more than 20 times, but it’s the first time for me to see so many people coming here,” said 55 –year – old Sun Xiuying, a local villager.

Space center experts were worried earlier in the day when Xichang experienced an unexpected torrential rainfall from about 4:05 a.m. till 7:10 a. m. on Wednesday, but they were able to breathe a sigh of relief when the weather cleared. Both national and local meteorological observatories forecast cloudy weather for the launch site on Wednesday afternoon. However they said they believed it would not affect the launch mission, and opinion which was shared by technological staff at the site.

Local villagers within a radius of 2.5 km of the launch site and under the trajectory (轨道) of the carrier have been told to move to safe areas two hours prior to the anticipated launch. Tourists  have been charged 800 yuan (105 U.S. dollars) to witness the launch of China’s first lunar satellite. A local travel agency has said that the two observation platforms are capable of holding 2,000 and 500 people respectively, but it is not known how many people paid for the chance.

The moon orbiter, Chang’e – 1, named after a legendary Chinese goddess who flew to the moon, and the carrier Long March 3A have passed all pre – launch tests.

China hopes to become the 17 th nation to join the International Space Station (ISS) project, Vice Minister of Science and Technology Li Xueyong said last week. “The Chinese government has been pursuing a policy of peaceful use of airspace,” Li said.

China carried out its first piloted space flight in October 2003, making it only the third country in the world after the Soviet Union and the United States to have sent men into space. In October 2005, China completed its second manned space flight, with two astronauts on board.

The snow has paralysed(使瘫痪) transport in China during the country’s most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the Henan province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.

     According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.

     In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated（毁坏）by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.

Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.

     The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.

From this passage, we can know that the snow happened _____.

   A. During the Spring Festival

   B. In the coldest days of the winter

   C. In the North of China.

   D. It’s not mentioned here.

What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph four?

   A. worst  B. snowstorm  C. cold weather  D. biggest

This passage mainly tells us _____ .

   A. The snow in the south of China caused many problems.

   B. The effect of the snow in the south of China on the fresh food

   C. The snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets.

   D. The Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers.

The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas to _____ .

   A. help the farmers plant crops          B. give money to the farmers

      Because six of every ten accidental deaths happen to Chinese children who are playing, Shanghai
Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical (SJJP), a US-based pharmaceutical(制药的) giant, is working on
a Safe Kids Program to prevent injuries and deaths.
     Since the Safe Kids Worldwide was set up in 1987 by Johnson & Johnson in the US, it has
contributed to a nearly 40 percent decline in the child death rate from accidental injuries there. Learning
from the successful experience, SJJP began the Safe Kids Program in China in 1999.
     A recent survey conducted by SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China indicates that more than half
of the responding parents didn't know how to help their children keep safe and that half of the parents
didn't know about their children's motor skill development at different ages. The survey covered 3,359
Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou's parents with children between infancy(婴幼年) and 14.
     Additionally, more than 40 percent of the parents didn't know how to help their children to prepare
well for sports activities. For example, they don't know how to have their children warm up or realize the
importance of a playground-check before sports activities.
     To help correct the problems, SJJP and Safe Kids Worldwide China have been translating and
editing safety education materials, sending them to parents free of charge, and delivering free lectures
in kindergartens, schools and communities for the last ten years.
     At present, a special team has been set up and traveling around 12 key cities of China to popularize
child sports safety knowledge and offer free training for young parents.
     Though SJJP refuses to say how much it has spent on the program, it says the number in terms of
money, staff and technology, is large.
                                                                Title: Safe Kids Pr ogram

For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no — that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.

As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart. Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns (实习生), and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position.

"It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai. "There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive."

The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous clothes. And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money. Now it's a career with a profile, prospects and pay packet.

Girls can find it hard to ignore this tempt and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style or fashion design majors. "A fashion designer knows how to make a dress pretty, but a stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe," explained He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.

"You have to be 'all-round': from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories(配饰) to the event," said He. "You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time. It's challenging. That's why I love it."

It's not, however, without its downside, no matter how great you may think it is, "It's incredibly hard work," said Chen Qianzhu, a stylist at the Chinese version of Elle magazine. "You need to build good relations with various people — stars, photographers, PR managers, other media, even airlines."

You need to take care of clothes in the workplace and pay for even a tiny spot you get on them, Chen said. "The worst thing is that you might work extremely hard for a week on some serious photos, but if the chief's not satisfied, you do them all over again."

1. A fashion stylist has to do the following EXCEPT _______.
