China, the world’s largest tobacco producer and consumer, will ban all forms of tobacco promotion by January 2011.

A ban on tobacco advertising has been in place since 1996, but firms have managed to sidestep the rules and promote their brands in other ways such as supporting sporting events, or using their logos without mentioning "cigarettes" on television, radio and in newspapers and magazines.

Xu Guihua, vice-president of China Tobacco Control Association, made the landmark announcement on Monday in Guangghou. She said the country is committed to fulfill its obligations(义务) to the World Health Organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, of which China formally became a member last January.

However, it is believed that China falls behind other countries in efforts to control the use of tobacco, and the biggest problem is the lack of national laws banning smoking in public areas.

To date, fewer than half the cities have framed rules on smoking bans in some public spaces. Efforts to ban smoking in other areas such as bars and restaurants have been stopped by unwilling owners and managers who fear a loss of business.

Figures from the Ministry of Health show that China has an estimated 350 million smokers, almost a third of the world. Cigarette makers spent more than 1.6 billion yuan to promote their brands last year, according to China Youth Daily. In 2005 the government collected 240 billion yuan in tobacco taxes.

Yang Yah, a researcher with Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control, said 12 percent of deaths in China are caused by tobacco related illnesses, and by 2025, that figure will climb to 33 percent.

1. What does the underlined phrase “tobacco promotion” means?

A. All kinds of tobacco advertisements.

B. A ban on smoking in public areas.

C. Tobacco advertisements on TV.

D. The planting of Tobacco.

2. According to Xu Guihua, we can infer that         .

A. China has much difficulty with tobacco control because it benefits a lot from tobacco taxes

B. China became a member of WHO because it succeeded in banning smoking in public areas

C. China is on the top list of countries which make great progress in tobacco control

D. China must keep its promise to ban all forms of tobacco advertising as a member of the WHO

3. Why is it hard to ban smoking in public areas in China?

A. Many people believe they can still live longer although they smoke.

B. It is too difficult for many smokers to give up smoking.

C. Many businessmen in public areas are afraid of losing smoking customers.

D. The government fails to give a heavy fine to those smokers.

4. What’s the population of the world who smoke according to the passage?

A. Over 1,050,000,000.                                  B. Less than 1,000,000,000.

C. About 950,000,000.                             D. About 105,000,000.

5. Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. It is impossible to find a tobacco advertisement on TV now.

B. Tobacco firms in China have spent much less on advertisement since 1996.

C. One out of three deaths may be caused by smoking related illness in the future.

Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.
However, with the development of society, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they don't do that.
The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling "the treasure" mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.
On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.

“Happy New Year!” Everyone will greet each other with these words as they meet each other on New Year’s Day. But it wasn’t always January 1 that marked the New Year.
At least 4,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians marked the changing of the year. In Egypt, the year started when the Nile River flooded, enriching farmers’ fields. This happened at the end of September.
The Babylonians held a festival in the spring, on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle. The Babylonian celebration lasted for 11 days.
The date January 1 was picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 46 BC. The month of January originates from the Roman god, Janus. He is pictured with two heads. One head looks forward and the other back. They represent a break between the old and new. The new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present day.
In Vietnam, the New Year holiday happens in February. They buy fresh flowers and a peach blossom to put in their house, following the Vietnamese custom.
Thailand has its specific New Year’s date; it’s different from the normal calendar. The Thai New Year is celebrated on April 13. On this day, Thai people play with water, throwing it on each other. It is intended to bring good luck during the New Year ahead.
In China, the more favorable New Year is usually celebrated in February according to lunar calendar (阴历). On New Year’s Eve, all family members sit together at table, enjoying lots of auspicious foods such as dumplings, chicken to bring good luck.
