Beijing has started a battle to get rid of "Chinglish" (Chinese English). The "Language Mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street) ,for example, advises: "To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery Are Very Crafty", a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑). Another sign in a Beijing park reads: "Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk. "
Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said," Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."
However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means, "Please don't place it in dusty play."
If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.

My father was a highly educate, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your   1   in the process. I thought there was nothing be wasn’t   2  to do.

      A few days before my younger brother’s 7^th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new   3   as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of  4   the instructions, Dan was still unable to   5  the new bike together. Later he  6  the paper of instructions,   7  up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra   8  to have it correctly assembled there.   9  an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.

       “Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”

       As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the  10  . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I can’t road. When you can’t read, you have to  11  .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was   12   assembled, with no  13   parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.

       On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 14   in telling it over and over again-be used it as an example of thinking.

I also gained a new   17   for Lovett.

It was a half-mile walk from our small house to the beach road, where the      16     would be waiting for us. But that morning Janet was much worse. She couldn’t make     17      walk. And I couldn’t carry her. The path to the beach was steep and narrow and     18     at the water’s edge.

I was a stranger far from home. I didn’t know     19     to turn for help. But I needed it badly. I hurried down to the beach and I found help. Four fishermen were about to go out for their morning  20  . I told them about my sick little sister. Could they help me get her down the     21    ? I hardly got the words out of my mouth     22     they dragged their boat back onto the sand. They climbed the hill with me. One looked at Janet and they    23     their heads. They talked softly to one another. “  24       sick to sit in a chair,” one said.

“Better carry her      25    in bed,” said another.

An iron cot（儿童床）    26     along the cliff ! I was frightened. How could they do it?    27     the men told me not to worry. “Truly easy, truly     28    ,” they said.

They tied a rope to each leg of the cot. Each of them threw a rope     29     his shoulder and held the end in one hand. I understood what they meant to do.     30     they carried the cot down the path, they would use the ropes to keep the cot     31    . But what if one of the men slipped and lost his balance? What would happen to him ― to the others ― to     32    ? The men just smiled at my alarm. “That     33     will make us even more careful,” they said.

The men went down the path. Every    34     was a careful one. Always the cot was level, with never a bump. When they reached the beach road, they quietly lifted Janet into the taxi.     35    , they stretched her out on the back seat.

We made the morning train for Tokyo. And there an ambulance was waiting to take Janet to the hospital. The doctor told me that I had got my little girl there just in time. Janet would be all right soon.

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert , seeking a million in prize money . To win , they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours . Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all , because these vehicles were missinge a key part drivers .

DARPA , the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency , organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields . But the Grand Challenge , as it was called , just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance . One had its brake lock up in the starting area . Another began by throwing itself onto a wall . Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles .

One turned upside down . One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) control . One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence ; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock . The “winner,” if there was any , reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long , narrow hole , and the front wheels caught on fire .

“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Behringer , who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics . “Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly . It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines .”

The robotic vehicles , though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance , had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately , Sure , that very young child, who has just only learned to walk , may not think to wipe apple juice off her face , but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table , and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good . She is more advanced , even months old , than any machine humans have designed .

67．Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because        .

       A．they did not have any human guidance

       B．the road was not familiar to the drivers

       C．the distance was too long for the vehicles

       D．the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

68．DARPA organized the race in order to          .

       A．raise money for producing more robotic vehicles

       B．push the development of vehicle industry

       C．train more people to drive in the desert

       D．improve the vehicles for future wars

69．From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that          .

       A．can do effortlessly whatever tasks living thing can

       B．can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit

       C．can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down

       D．can move from place to place without being driven by human beings

70．In the race , the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was          .

       A．about eight miles                                 B．six miles

       C．almost two miles                                 D．about one mile

71．In the last paragraph , the writer implies that there is a long way to go          .

       A．for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties

       B．for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table

       C．for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve

       D．for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face
