With several NBA scouts（球探）sending representatives to China to scout（偵察，物色）Yi Jianlian in the China Basketball Association finals. Rockets center Yao Ming offered his own scouting report.

“He is very close to a player who is in the NBA like Amare Stoudemire.” Yao said. “Yi is taller. He is almost seven – foot. He has a very nice touch, very athletic. He has everything to       .”

“From my experience, it is very important that he plays in the summer league. The games played in the summer league will be good for him and for his team, whatever team drafts（選派，抽調）him. I was not in the summer league the year the Rockets drafted me, so I had a very tough start in the beginning. For a player from China, I think you need time to adjust.”

Yao never played against Yi, but they have been national team teammates for the past three years. “When I left China, he just started to play,” Yao said, “we never matched up. I think he is a very good four（四號位球員）. He can play a little bit of a five, sometimes. Good shot blocker. He just needs the right training, people who can tell him how to play on the NBA level.”

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this  problem.

First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.

One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.

To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.

66．What is the passage mainly about?

       A．The problems faced by the old in society.

       B．Why we should take responsibility for the old.

       A．Impossible.          B．Practical.             C．Useful.                D．Successful.

A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack(裂縫) in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full load of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master’s house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For two years this went on daily. The perfect pot was proud of its accomplishment. Of course, the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of this sense of bitter failure, it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.

“I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you.”

“Why?” Asked the bearer. “What are you ashamed of?”

“I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back. And you do not get full value for your efforts,” the pot explained.

The water bearer, hearing this, said, “As we return to the master’s house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path.”

As they went up the hill, the cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little.

The bearer said: “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That is because I have known about you, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master’s table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty in his house.”

       A．Everyone has their shortcomings.

       B．A cracked pot can be of much use.

       C．Once we have shortcomings, we should try to overcome them.

       D．We sometimes don’t have to mind too much the way we are.

62．Why did the cracked pot feel ashamed?

       A．Because it didn’t hold water.

       B．Because the water bearer didn’t like it.

       C．Because it didn’t have a perfect appearance.

       D．Because it could only accomplish half of its load.

China plans to make new rules to give more controls over the growing number of blogs and webcasts.

Nowadays, advanced network technologies, such as blogging and webcasting, are being improved to challenge the government’s ability to watch over the Internet.

Chinese government is in the middle of making new rules over Internet publishing, and blogs and websites publishing webcasts will fall under these rules. Government officials hope the new rules will ensure(保證) a more healthy and active Internet environment and will fully respect and protect Chinese citizens’  freedom of speech. Specific details on what kind of rules will be carried out are still unknown to the public. Despite the growing popularity, bloggers and webcasters have been unpopular with publication institutions.

In 2006, a series of cases involving bloggers who had dived into other people’s privacy and written materials ruining other’s fame urged the government to consider whether to require bloggers to use their real names when they login in.

Webcasting without copyright and illegally “copying” products from copyrighted materials have also led government officials to consider starting a nationwide check of online video broadcasting, and allow only qualified websites to continue offering webcasts.

More good things come from small things
