I was on my lunch break in the city, enjoying a salad at an outdoor café, when a shabby homeless lady came waking towards me. She was1 everyone who walked past her for spare2 and she looked very dirty. My 3reaction was fear and I hoped she wouldn’t come near me, but she did.. I was on the phone and when she4 , I said “ I’m on the phone” in the nicest way I could, telling myself what she needed was a lesson in5. She walked away, mumbling(自言自语), “ I’m6 you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’11 leave.” And she turned the corner.
7 ,I would feel relieved or satisfied, but something in me couldn’t8 . Without another thought, I looked in my9 for the spare change I had. I even started searching through my entire purse, the pockets, everything for all of the change I could10 find to give. I got up and walked towards this lady and gave her all I11. She held my hand and said, “ Thank you!” Her hand was12and dirty, but I didn’t mind13her hand. I wanted to be there for her , when normally I would14the other way. She looked at me and said, “Will you touch my face?” And for some reason, I did. I put my hand on her cheek and she started to15 . I could16it was as if she had not been touched by a loving, soft hand in ages, 17 . And so I held it there, trying to18her with my heart open. It was powerful.
She thanked me and walked away quietly. And I walked away with an open heart, trying to19
sense of what had just happened. It changed something in me and has made me want to be a20person to the people I meet during my day.

When talking about Olympics, we will never forget July 13th, 2001, the day Mr. Samaranch declared Beijing would host the 2008 Olympics. At that very1,all Chinese people were inspired by it and jumped with2.Why did we all feel delighted? It is obvious that the Olympic3will burn in Beijing, from Olympic City to the Great Wall. As our concepts for the Games4, 'the Green Olympics, the High-tech Olympics and the5Olympics', the Games will give us a chance to have6exchanges, and to show splendid Chinese culture and its people's positive attitudes.
In order to reach 'the Green Olympics', government and7have a lot to do. For instance, the government8better the public transportation, such as9the metro transport network. The introduction of one-way 2-yuan price system is a good example. It boosts(推进) the use of the public transportation.10, residents must mind their behavior. We should participate in various11improvement activities.
'The High-tech Olympics' pushes our enterprises to be more12. Nowadays, the media always13to 'soft power' and many people believe 'the People's Olympics' is part of it. We14the Athens Olympics not for how many medals Greece got,15for its people's positive attitudes. As the16,we should be more friendly and hospitable(好客的). A17society, full of love, where people are confident and help each other, is required. It can be the best18card to make people all over the world remember China.
The Olympic fire has been burning. To make it the best one in history,19should make a contribution. Actions speak20than words. Let's work together and be a volunteer for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games!

My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other. We always worked on projects1.
The2of the challenge was simple—to build a protective container to keep an egg from breaking when3the stadium wall.
I made my sandwich that afternoon while waiting for Cassie. 4the butter-cream gave me an idea.
“I have a brilliant design for our5container!” I said when Cassie arrived. “We can6 the egg with some butter-cream.”
“Why not put the egg in a basket with a parachute7?” Cassie rolled her eyes. “The parachute is better than that stupid idea.”
I couldn't believe it. Of course we'd had our little 8in the past, but she'd never called any of my ideas “9 ” before.
“Then I’11 build mine and you build yours!”
10words had been out, our friendship was challenged.
When Friday finally arrived, I had to 11Cassie’s Egg Force One looked pretty good.12, my Egg-cellent Egg Cream didn't look quite scientific. We kids carried our containers up three stadium steps and dropped them over the side wall. Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived13three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were14. I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the15. The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those16drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My17raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket.18.
“My egg bounced (弹起)19,” she explained, pointing to a broken shell.
“A tie(平局),” Mr. Baker said.
Cassie looked at me, and her glare(瞪眼)20. I laughed. She smiled…

One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel. Life seemed 1. The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 2 for granted, just as he used to himself. Now, however, he felt 3 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 4.
Seeking more personally satisfying 5, he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate(命运)played a cruel 6 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 7 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 8 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 9. Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated(带插图的)books.
According to Jimmy, you are what you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world sometimes seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 10 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel before making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 11.
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 12. Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the “small people” in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 13 for us.
In spite of his new 14 and wealth, Jimmy prefers working 15 at home with his wife and daughter. He spends his mornings drawing. To Jimmy, living a life as he chooses means much more than money and fame could offer.

China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 – Housing price in China has always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.
The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate(控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.

Vienna-In spite of Iraq’s decision to stop oil deliveries, the 11- nation Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries（OPEC）will not increase production to make up the shortfall, ministers decided Tuesday in Vienna.
The 11 oil ministers decided to meet again on July 3 to discuss the effects of the Iraq temporary stop. The organization’s president, Charkid Kheria of Algeria, said after the meeting that stocks were high and prices were stable, so quota increases were not necessary.
The E.U. Commission has expressed concern about Iraq’s output stop. A speaker said OPEC had to take all possible measures to keep or lower the oil price.
Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortfall of oil in the market. The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap, he said. OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of Iraq’s output stop was not known, so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet. If the market was destabilized (使……动摇), a suitable response could be made.
Iraq on Monday stopped shipments of crude oil to protest against the U.N. Security Council’s decision to extend the oil-for-food programme by only a month, instead of the normal six-month renewal. Just before the Vienna meeting, oil prices had gone up, with a barrel of OPEC crude oil selling for 27.05 dollars, up from 26.81 dollars last Friday. North Sea oil was at 29.26 dollars Monday evening.
OPEC wants the oil price to stay within a margin of 22 to 28 dollars and achieved that with cuts in January and March that reduced 2.5 million barrels per day off quotas(配额).

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every day." And when those clones reproduce sexually（有性繁殖）, the agency says, their offspring（后代） are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.
The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents.
The agency says it must receive comments by April second. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago, but an advisory committee called for more research.
For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.
The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.
Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animals is grown into an embryo（胚胎）in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus（子宫）of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.
