7．The Chinese put up with a lot living in the world's most populous country：standing on over-crowded trains for 40hours； sleeping outside hospitals to secure a doctor's appointment； waiting more than a year to earn a driver's license．
Add getting a U．S．entry visa to the list．Applicants here have waited as long as 60days to secure an appointment at one of five U．S．consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas．There，they're often greeted by long lines，followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds．
Now there are only about 100U．S．visa officers in China，facing considerable challenges during the summer when tourists and students travel the most．"It's not easy work，"Charles Bennett，minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U．S．Embassy in Beijing，said to his staff．"You're making，in some cases，life-changing decisions many times a day，and that can cause great tiredness．"
To adapt，US consular services expanded their hours，took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20officers by spring．More facilities are also being expanded．
Despite the shocking numbers，the embassy remains troubled by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly burdensome．"I'm fed up，"said Wendy Liu，24．The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable．"I'll go anywhere but the U．S．now，"she said．"I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom．"
To visit the US，Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely they'll return to China．The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas．
Student visas can be refused on grounds of national security．Beijing native Tan Ge，25，believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application．He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University．
By its very nature，the on-the-spot process at the U．S．Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants，who are asked to take their bank statements，property deeds（房产证），marriage licenses and HUKOU，a Chinese household ID．
"It made me feel very uncomfortable，"said Xu Yong，28，a journalist who needed a business visa last month to cover a conference in New York．"They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good．"
After giving his fingerprints，Xu waited to be called for his interview，sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library．Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century．
After an hour，Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview．Two were rejected before his turn．Then the American officer，speaking fluent Chinese，reached for Xu's paperwork，asked some simple questions and said，"Congratulations．"
"I was so nervous．The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed，"Xu said．"She was the one who warned me it wasn't going to be easy．"
21．We can learn from Paragraph 2that in ChinaA．
A．you may quickly be rejected for a U．S．visa after a long wait
B．getting a U．S．visa is not as hard as getting a driver's license
C．an applicant has to wait two months to get a visa for the U．S．
D．there are more than five US consular locations stamping visas
22．Beijing native Tan Ge was refused a U．S．visa probably because heB．
A．had no stable income
B．was supposed to be unsafe for the U．S．
C．had too wide interests
D．had got a full scholarship in the U．S．
23．Why does the author give a detailed description of Xu Yong's experience？C
A．To show how lucky Xu is to make it to New York．
B．To reflect the problems in processing a U．S．entry visa．
C．To stress what a hard-won success it is to get a U．S．visa．
D．To persuade readers out of working or studying abroad．

（63）A
Save the Children based its report on six conditions related to the health and security of women．These include the risk of early death，and the rate of use of modern birth-control methods．Another measure was the percentage of births with the aid of trained medical workers．Still another was the percentage of pregnant women with a shortage of iron in the blood．The study also examined reading levels among women and the involvement of women in national government．There are some conditions related to the education of both women and children．
（64）C
Save the Children has published a report on the"State of the World's Mothers"for six years now．This year the group included a progress report on education for girls．Researchers examined progress made over the past ten years in 71developing countries．The report says Bolivia，Kenya，Cameroon and Bangladesh have made the most progress in girls'education．Listed at the bottom are Rwanda，Iraq，Malawi and Eritrea．Worldwide，the report says，58million girls are out of school．

Charles MacCormack is head of Save the Children．He says many children in the world are lucky just to survive the first five years of life．But Mr MacCormack calls the situation far from hopeless．He notes that world leaders have agreed on eight goals to reduce poverty，save lives and increase security by 2017．
1．Washington：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
Scientists estimate the ocean is 95kilometres thick，which is about 10times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150kilometres of ice．
While scientists have speculated（推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede------the largest moon in our solar system------until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplished．In its 25years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

28．What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passageB？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
29．Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards HubbleD？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
30．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 meanC？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europe．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europe is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean ion Europe．
D．No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europe．
31．What type of writing does this passage belong toB？
A．A term essay                           
B．A news report
C．An experiment report

"Saying‘no'to others means  you are saying‘yes'to yourself．Time is precious．People are spending money buying time．And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can't say‘no'．"said Leslie Charles，a professional speaker from East Lansing，Michigan．Susie Watson，a famous writer，said people who always say"yes"need to say"no"without guilt（内疚）or fear of punishment．"I would rather have someone give me a loving‘no'than all obligated（强制的）‘yes'，"she said．She feels"no"need to give an explanation when she says"no"either socially or professionally．Does she feel guilty about it？"Not at all，"said Watson，who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury．Connecticut．"Most people are afraid of saying‘no'．My advice is to say‘yes'only if you don't mean‘no'．"Watson said"no"is the most effective weapon against wasting time．"Every year there are more demands on your time．Other people are happy to use up your time．"Watson said．Time saving appears to be"no's"greatest friend．
"No"can be your new friend．a powerful tool to take back your life．"No"may even take you further in the business world than"yes"．"No"is power and strength．"No"now seems completely correct．
"Saying‘no'isn't easy．But finally it's greatly liberating，"Charles said．But，he added，a"no"project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term
