Celebrations spread across China when Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl, was given the right to host the 2010 World Expo on December 3. Shanghai won the honor after beating rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea.
“I’m very proud of being Chinese,” said Wang Kaibo, a Senior 2 student of the Middle School Attached to Beijing Medical University. “The winning of the expo is a victory, not only for Shanghai residents, but for the people of the whole Chinese nation.”
Bidding for the expo shows that China is more confident of playing a more important role on the international stage. It’s competing for large events and the next one could be the World Cup, Wang said.
The World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Beijing Olympics will become the twin shining stars of China’s development over the next 10 years, said experts. The World Expo is known as “Olympics of the economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields.” It is usually held every five years and lasts for six months. The Olympics, World Cup and World Expo are considered three top international events in the world.
China is the first developing country to win the expo bid in the event’s about 159-year history. Not only will it attract more foreign investment to China, but experts say that the half-year-long exhibition will bring at least 70 million visitors to Shanghai.
The expo was first held in London in 1851. It has a history of global influence. The Eiffel Tower, built during the Paris World Expo in 1889, became the symbol of the French capital. Many historic inventions, such as the telephone and airplane, all made their first appearance at a World Expo.
41. What does the underlined word “rivals” probably mean in the 2nd paragraph?
A. competitors. B. enemies. C. players. D. supporters.
42. The winning of bidding for the World Expo 2010 and the 2008 Olympic Games implies ______.
A. China is beginning to play a more important part on the international stage.
B. China has played the most important role in the international affairs.
C. China has become a developed country for many years.
D. China is the first Asian country to win the expo bid in history.
43. As we know, in general, the Word Expo is usually held every ______ years, while the Olympics is usually held every ______ years.
A. 4；5 B. 5；4 C. 4；4 D. 5；5
44. By bidding for the expo and the Olympics, we are sure that ______.
A. China will beat rivals from Russia, Mexico, Poland and South Korea

network addicts?
However, this summer, my impression of today's kids has been restored by the story of Rachel
Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness - even though
she's just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.
At age 5, Rachel had her long hair shorn off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to
make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After
that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that's what she
did.
Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an
organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no
clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water
website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity:
water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 - which had left her just a bit disappointed.
Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends,
seeking some way of showing support, began donating on Rachel's birthday page - charitywater
.org/Rachel - and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.
But Rachel couldn't hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had
raised for charity: water on his 17th birthday. "I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly
had a crush on (迷恋) him," Rachel's mom said.
When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life
support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other
children.
Word about Rachel's last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total
donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.
This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solvers working
creatively.
B. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.
C. They are unselfish as grown-ups.
D. They can get problems settled effectively.
B. Before her ninth birthday.
C. Right after the traffic accident.
D. After her death.
B. Because she had asked them to do that.
C. Because she set up her birthday page on June 9th.
D. Because she began to raise money from her ninth birthday.
B. he had donated on Rachel's page on his 17th birthday
C. Rachel would have been overjoyed for his donation
D. Rachel's mom said she secretly had a crush on him
B. Rachel's hair donations.
C. A nine-year-old girl Rachel.
D. A lesson from Rachel.
