The event was set up by Haanen.com, a non-governmental organization founded in 2003. It has more than 24,000 members worldwide. They all love traditional Chinese culture and believe that wearing the Han costume （服裝） is the best way to show love for China. Active members are mostly in their 20s or 30s.
Chen Ye, a 19-year-old student, said it made her feel bad that Koreans have hanbok and Japanese have kimono while Chinese don’t have a typical traditional dress.

Chen said Han costume is the one for
This is not the group’s first activity. In the past two years, some of the members have dressed up in traditional clothes and visited sights in the downtown areas of many Chinese cities. It helps raise people’s awareness of traditional Chinese culture.

On Thursday, May 10, meet Rob Curley, vice-president of product development for the Washington Post, an online innovator (革新者) whose earlier work at the Naples, Florida Daily News, the small market Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas, and with Morris Communications has made him an innovative legend at age 35. His creativity has changed traditional thinking about newspaper web sites, allowing for very local community web sites and multimedia features. In 2004, Editor & Publisher named the 19,000-circulation(發(fā)行量) Lawrence Journal-World one of the ten newspapers in the U.S. that “do it right.”

By the end of this year, the contents of all 1,800 courses taught at one of the world’s most famous universities will be available online to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world. Learners won’t have to register (注冊) for the classes, and everyone is accepted.
The cost? It’s all free of charge.
The Open Course Ware(OCW) movement, begun at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in 2002 and now spread to some 120 other universities worldwide, aims to spread knowledge to anyone who has an Internet connection and a desire to learn.
OCW provides free access to course materials such as video lectures, notes, homework and so on. By giving away their content, the universities are not discouraging students from joining them. Instead, the online materials appear to be only attracting more.
The MIT site, along with companion sites that translate the materials into other languages, now average about 1.4 million visits per month from learners in every single country on the planet.
So-called “distance learning” over the Internet is not new. Students have been able to pay for
online courses at many institutions, either to receive credits（學分） or simply as a noncredit
adult-learning experience. Many universities also offer free materials
delivered through the Internet. But the total number and variety of the
educational materials being released (發(fā)布) provided by MIT is simply shocking. For example, each of the 29
courses that
What OCW is not, its supporters agree, is a substitute for attending a university. For one thing, OCW learners are not able to receive instructions from a professor ― or to discuss the course with fellow students. It is believed that a college education is really the total package of students working with other students, forming networks, communicating with teachers, and that whole environment of being associated with the school.
64. The purpose of the OCW movement is .
A. to help reduce the expenses of university education
B. to win for MIT an advantage over other universities
C. to provide educational materials through the Internet
D. to make knowledge available to learners on the Internet
65. According to the passage, what OCW learners won’t have is .
A. free online course materials
B. credits after attending the courses
C. a non-credit adult-learning experience
D. normal communication with teachers and classmates
66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .
A. OCW cannot take the place of normal university education
B. OCW is believed to be a perfect match for attending a university
C. OCW can offer students more materials than attending a university
D. OCW can help learners complete university education at a low cost
67. The passage is written mainly to .
A. excite young people’s learning desire B. praise MIT for spreading knowledge
C. inform people about the OCW movement D. tell people how to go to MIT for free
D
Besides news reports that tend to focus on
war or election, Americans generally don’t hear much about people in other
countries. One reason may be that very little foreign-language literature is

In recent years, more nonprofits have applied to the National Endowment for the Arts for help to publish literary translations. The agency is also trying to increase the availability of translated prose (散文) and poetry in the US, such as publishing partnerships with foreign governments.
68. The main purpose in founding the magazine Words Without Borders is .
A. to compete for page views and subscribers online
B. to get American literature better known to the world
C. to help advance nonprofit world literature translation
D. to introduce more world literature to

A. They mainly publish top-quality world literature in translation.
B. They don’t aim at making money by publishing global writing.
C. They provide their translation and publication services online.
D. They have published a number of literary works in translation.

So what is Victorian Government doing? It’s
bringing Victorians “good news” that they won’t have to drink recycled water.
Great... We actually have a government that is DUMBER than SA and QLD ones...
Good news indeed. Now every Melbournian knows ― we are smarter and better than
the
Bracks’ government has put the State’s water protection on the constant force, by using dangerous and awful system for its projects and failing to provide the necessary rules for the industrial needs. After spoiling the water resources for years on end ― Bracksie blames the households (i.e. YOU) for water wasteage. Ridiculous restrictions(限制) are made, supported by Dob-your-neighbour phone line. Cars become dirty, grass becomes dead, naked people bathe in the showers... Water resources keep on decreasing. So instead of supporting recycling, Bracks owes it to people’s showing no attention. Most of Europe as well as parts of Asia drink recycled water, despite not being in a serious draught(干旱) like Australia. Drinking recycled water is SAFE, if the technologies used are proper ones.
Meanwhile, the real reason for the draughts ― environmental change is hardly being addressed by the State Government at all. Yes, they have given us a target for CO2 20% decrease in 20 years’ time, but we question: A, that is not enough; B, that is too far away;C, what is going to be done to achieve those targets?
72． According to the author, it is for Victorian Government to refuse the water recycling policy.
A. necessary B. great C. unimportant D. stupid
73. Victorian Government believes that .
A. the recycling policy of the other states is effective
B. supporting water recycling is all Victorians’ duty
C. giving a target to decrease CO2 also means recycling
D. limiting the use of water resources is very important
74. The author thinks that the decrease of water is mainly caused by .
A. environmental pollution B. industrial development
C. the government’s wrong policies D. human beings’ wrong use
75. The passage mainly talks about .
A. a thirsty world B. a wrong policy
C. a wise decision D. a new research

One possible version:
Recently I have conducted a survey on taking a nap after lunch among my classmates. Most of them are in the habit of sleeping for a while at noon as they believe it does good to them. The majority prefer to do so around 12:30 and the nap usually lasts for about 30 minutes. They often choose to sleep at home instead of in their classroom or dormitory.
Hopefully, the result of my survey can draw the attention of our parents and school. Since most students are in need of a nap, proper arrangements should be made so that students can have a good rest after a whole morning’s hard work. Students should not be asked to do extra schoolwork during this period of time. After all, with a nap after lunch, one can feel refreshed and energetic enough to study more efficiently in the afternoon.

M: Hi, Susan, where were you at lunch time? I was saving a seat for you.
W: Oh, sorry to miss you. My class ran longer today.
M: That’s been happening quite a lot lately, hasn’t it?
W: I guess so. Actually, a group of us talked with our professor after class.
M: Which professor?
W: Professor Smith. Have you heard of him?
M: Mm, yes.
W: He is famous. The same students who fall asleep in group discussions fight for front row seats in his lecture.
M: Oh, no, I hope this isn’t catching.
W: You can joke. But it’s great to have a nice professor like him.
M: I see. Maybe I should sit in his class sometime. Do you think he would care?
W: Not at all. Lots of students bring their friends. He says he never feels too glad.

W: So how did it happen?
M: He forgot to check the line before he jumped off the bridge. There was a weak spot in the line when he jumped and it suddenly broke into two pieces. The doctors said he would be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life, but he proved them wrong. He only spent one year in recovery. As soon as he was back in shape, he went right out and tried it again.
W: Gosh, some people are really crazy.
M: That may be true, but you have to say that he has a good spirit.
