In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province.

Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海国际田径黄金大奖赛) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell.That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off.So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle.After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly.The result is not very good but the effort was not bad.”

With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times.“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said.“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26.I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point.I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here.”

It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury.Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career.“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future.”

Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress,the head of the world’s largest automaker wasn’t leaving his problems behind.

 Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York.The company is now being investigated.Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled.The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses.

 Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits.A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting.

Despite back-to-back hearings this  week,left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden,unintended accelerations will be fixed.

Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock,but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle’s electronic systems.

Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车).Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.

    House lawmakers expressed serious cri ticism on Toyoda,the grandson of the company’s founder.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota’s recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults.NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.

    Toyota has recalled 8.5 million cars,more than 6 million of them in the United States.

   It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.

   Toyota’s January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year’s bad results.Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales,due out next week,to be down 30 percent to 40.Toyota’s sales problem could continue beyond that. 

   It will take some time to feel the full effect of this,he said.

The best title for this passage is            .

   A.Toyota is in trouble       B.Toyota is under hearing

   C.Toyota is finished     D.Toyota is still running

What is the purpose of the hearing?

   A.America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers.

   B.America wants to get Toyota out of the US market.

   C.America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty.

   D.America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem.

What can we infer from the passage?

    A.Toyota provides very good post sale service.   

    B.Toyota’s biggest market is in the United States.

    C.Toyota will be closed soon.

    D.Toyota’s dealership in the US will all be closed.

The last sentence of this passage indicates            .

   A.Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota

   B.Toyota could meet a worse situation

   C.Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later

   D.Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers

Camping goes back to trendy in the UK.With students and parents tightening their belts in the face of tne global economic crisis,the overseas holiday tourism around the world is suffering a lot.For many young Brits,during uncertain times,cheap,traditional and homemade altenatives are the choice.

A lot of these people are developing a particular taste for camping holidays.The Camping and Caravanning.Club is reporting a 40 percent increase in booking this year,as well as an increase in new membership applications.

Campsites in the UK generally fall into two categories:holiday parks and wild camping.

The holiday parks are usually large,and accept earavans(旅居车)and tents and have many facilities,from swimming pools to laundry services to bars and shops.For example,young people can find much fun in the Wild Boar Inn campsite in Cheshire.northwest England.There’s live music every Saturday,with 60s,70s and 80s-inspired acts for an evening of laughs.These places are good fbr young Britons to get social.And it’s cheap,only around 5 pounds for entry and people can use all the facilities.

For others,the beauty of camping is in enjoying nature and tranquility(宁静),so a wilder camping experience is also attractive. These people choose anywhere remote,with no light or noise po11ution.The campers often choose relatively small campsites.For example,the Highlands of Scotland.and Danmoor in southern England.
