5、108 cities in China took part in World Car Free Day on Saturday to promote environmentally-friendly transport and ease increasingly grid-locked city streets．It's a highlight of a nationwide urban public transport week．People were urged to take public transport，ride bikes or walk．

To help out，more than 200 new buses took to the streets．And the Beijing Subway laid on 10 more trains for rush hour．

A Beijing resident said, “Today is Car Free Day，and I do find the traffic much better and the bus can go much faster．”

Another resident said，“I spent only half an hour to go to work．It took me twice as long before． And  I can find seat on the bus today．”

But in some areas not signed up for traffic control，endless lines of cars can still be seen．

Some people say they just can't do without their cars．

4、The terrible college entrance exam is not only a big challenge for Chinese high school students，but also a very important exam in the lives of South Korean students．Although the long，cold winter has already started in South Korea．the annual(年度的) national exams have made the atmosphere very heated．

More than 675,000 South Korean high school graduates took the college entrance exam last Wednesday．They usually take exams in Korean，maths，sociology，history and foreign languages．

Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students．But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country，the competition can reach one place for 10 students．The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities．

Because students face fierce competition，they have to study very hard to realize their dreams．park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7：30 in the morning．After school has finished at 6：30 P．m，most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home．Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day，they often stay long into the night Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day．

“I feel a lot of pressure．but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true．This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future，”Park said．

The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea．Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius(范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings．Noises are forbidden，even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours．

Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college．This is followed by face-to-face oral tests．There are public and private universities in South Korea ．Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18,000 yuan each term．This has made a lot of students think again．

 “I don't want to have people who just agree with me．” He says．“I want people who are continually pushing me forward and I'd be very interested in having those sorts of Republicans in my government，especially people who can speed up a responsible and logical conclusion to the Iraq war．”
