China’s Olympic lesson
Although the Athens Games are over, 1 . While busy preparing for the new semester in the first week back at school, many youngsters have started to wonder what Beijing can learn from Athens.
“I was amazed by the fantastic opening ceremony from the moment it began,” said She Fei, a Senior 2 boy from Beijing Huiwen High School. He represented China in Athens and got the chance to see the opening ceremony with his own eyes.
“Greece has done such a good job in showing its colorful culture using high-tech methods. 2 ” he said. “It seems that Beijing needs to combine the use of advanced technology with creative design to present its culture to the rest of the world. 3 ” he added.
Echoing her view on the challenge of designing an unique opening ceremony, Zhang Yufei, Senior 3 from No. 2 High School attached to Beijing Normal University, thinks that director Zhang Yimo’s presentation of Chinese culture will be out of date by 2008.
“Peking Opera costumes and the big red lantern did not seem to surprise the audience in the closing ceremony. 4 ” She said.
Other students worry people’s bad habits, 5 , might be the weak point of Beijing 2008.

When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.
But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that.
Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.
But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (称赞). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.
However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.
“My fans ask for my signature (签名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.

The income gap between China's rural and urban residents(居民) has continued to widen during the past few years in spite of rapidly rising rural incomes, Agricultural Minister Sun Zhengcai said here on Wednesday.
The income ratio(比率) between urban and rural residents was 3.28:1 in 2006, against 3.23:1 in 2003, said Sun in his report on the promotion of building a new countryside in 2007. Sun also said the net income of rural residents in different regions also varied widely. The income gap is only one of several problems in rural areas, according to Sun's report. While listing the achievements in rural areas in recent years, Sun believed that rural development still followed behind urban development.
"We have bigger pressure to ensure the supply of major agricultural products such as grain," he said. "China's urbanization(都市化) has been speeded up and more rural residents have gone to urban areas," he said.
"In this case, more agricultural producers become farm produce consumers, which created more pressure for supply," he said.
Another problem facing China's agricultural development is inadequate application of science and technology.
"Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production, which is 40 percentage points lower than developed countries," he said.
Despite increased government spending in rural areas, the infrastructure(基础下部组织) is still poor and easily hit by disasters.
According to Sun, the government spent 431.8 billion yuan ($59.15 billion) on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80.1 billion yuan over the previous year.
China set aside 11.38 billion yuan to promote a new rural cooperative medical care system and 27.98 billion yuan to support the new compulsory education mechanism in rural area to ensure that all citizens shared the fruits of China's reform and opening-up, Sun said.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
|
A．Because of the rapidly rising rural incomes, the income gap between China's rural and urban residents will disappear this year. |
|
B．The net income of rural residents in different regions is the same. |
|
C．The government has taken measures to develop the economy in the rural areas. |
|
D．Because of the rapidly rising rural incomes, the supply of major agricultural products is enough. |
2.Can you infer the meaning of the underlined words in paragraph 5?
|
A．be made full use of |
B．be made little use of |
C．be not made full use of |
