8.About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin(魚翅),a survey has found.Although the controversial(有爭議的)dish remains on the menu at most hotels,Green Beagle Environment Institute,a Beijing-based non-government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey,said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness.
The survey was carried out in Beijing,Shenzhen and Fuzhou,which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide.In Beijing,132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov.20 and Dec.12.Only 12 hotels,9 percent,said they do not serve shark fin.A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin,Wang Xue,chief coordinator(協(xié)調(diào)人)of the survey,said on Saturday.In Shenzhen,four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin,accounting for about 5 percent.In Fuzhou,only one of the 40 hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin.On average,about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food.
"The survey reminded us there is still a long way to go to remove shark fins from Chinese hotels and restaurants,but the improved situation in Beijing is encouraging,"said Wang."We found more hotels and restaurants were willing to take action over the past year."International hotels are more active in the"shark-fin-free"project,she noted.China is the world's biggest importer and consumer of shark fin,which has been used in luxurious Chinese dishes for 500 years.Dishes made from shark fin are still regarded as a symbol of honor and respect,especially at business dinners,according to Wang.
Research has also found that shark fin contains poisonous elements,but the nutritious value is less than that of chicken or pork."We hope hotels and restaurants remove shark fin products from their menus,"Wang added.

5.A.How to take notes and rewrite in one′s own words
B.Advantages of taking notes
C.Taking some useful notes
D.Taking notes is a help to create new ideas in the future
E.Need to change information from an encyclopedia into one′s own
F.Two ways of writing a note and their advantage

(61)E
In school and out,many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia into words of their own.The student who is writing a composition,the businessman who is writing a report,and the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman′s club often need the kind of information they find in an encyclopedia.But no one wants what he writes to read as it were copied from an encyclopedia.What you write should read as if it came from you.
(62)A
Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words,it is unwise to copy information from an encyclopedia word for word.Instead,write brief notes to remind yourself of the facts you wish to express.Later with the encyclopedia closed,you can expand those notes into sentences and paragraph of your own.
(63)B
The advantage of note-taking over copying is that it forces you to think for yourself at least twice-first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes.It is easy to copy a paragraph without being sure of what it means.But to make a note expressing the meaning of a paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have understood that paragraph.Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read.It is much easier to remember what you have said in a note that someone else has said in a book.Even if author′s vocabulary is easily understood,it isn′t the vocabulary you naturally think of.Putting his ideas into your vocabulary makes those ideas yours,and yours are the ideas you best remember.
(64)F
Some people write notes in complete sentences.Others write notes that are phrases of topics.For example,a sentence note on the paragraph above might be"Notes help you remember."A topical note for the same paragraph might be"Notes as memory helps".Both of these are four-word notes,and therefore either has an advantage to save time at the moment of note-taking
(65)D
Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use,often for some future writing that you will do.Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help you remember information.The thinking writer is the one who creates something new,something that no one can point to and say,"Oh,I have seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia."
