A

       The first time I saw Carlos, I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid.It was Carlos.

       "My, you're tall," he exclaimed. Of course, the class began to laugh.Annoyed, I walked to my seat without a word.

       I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest.That would be the last straw.To my relief.Reed was studying and did not seem to be aware of it.I didn't know why I considered Reed my friend.Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I.

       "Take that seat," Mr.McCarthy told the newcomer, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.

       Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

       It was the school election that made me think of Carlos again.Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president."How come?" I kept asking myself."How come this shrimp (虾) who's only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?"

       So when I met Carlos this morning, I said to him, "It doesn't seem to bother you — being short, I mean." He looked up at me."Of course I mind being short.But there isn't anything I can do about it.When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I decided to make the best of it.My motto is — don't be afraid to be yourself."

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.

68.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.

69.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          D.be made good use of

70. How much is spent on agriculture, rural areas and farmers the previous year?

   A.431.8 billion yuan          B.511.9 billion yuan 

   C.351.7 billion yuan          D.80.1 billion yuan

71. Which is NOT the problem in rural areas?

   A.The income gap

   B.The inadequate application of science and technology

   C.The supply of major agricultural products

   D.China's urbanization
