Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion’s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.” The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. “The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” he accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die”. “Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angle replied. “when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.” “Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.” 1.What's the best title of the passage? A. Two Angles Spread Love B. Things Aren’t Always What They Seem C. The Rich And The Poor D.

Anchors（新闻节目主持人）on China Central Television(CCTV) will need to do some fast talking to replace the popular English acronyms（首字母缩略词）they are now banned from using. Shanghai Daily reports that “anchors at China Central Television have been banned from saying the English acronyms NBA, CBA, GDP, and the like in their programs.” The replacement for those handy acronyms? Chinese presenters must use the full Chinese name, standardized by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Although CCTV(oops, we mean China Central Television) presenters must already have a score of at least 94 in their government-rated oral mandarin proficiency（普通话水平）exam, saying the full name of organizations like the CBA and WTO---10 and 6 characters’ long respectively---is sure to challenge even the most skillful anchors. CCTV sports anchor Sun Zhengping tells Shanghai Daily, “A full Chinese explanation of the English initials must be followed if my tongue slips. It is a little troublesome but a necessary one because not every member of the audience can understand the initials.” Although the government isn’t giving any official explanation for the shift, it is believed to have something to do with a proposal by Huang Youyi, director of the China International Publishing Group, at March’s NPC meeting. In his speech, Huang said, “With more and more publications mixing Chinese with English, measures and regulations should be adopted to avoid English invading Chinese. If we don’t pay attention and don’t take measures to stop the expansion of mixing Chinese with English, Chinese won’t be a pure language in a couple of years.” Although China is far from the first country to take measures to protect local languages, acronyms are more about saving time than they are about corrupting（破坏）a language, we would think. Good luck to the CCTV anchors. 1.CCTV anchors have to “do some fast talking” because they can no longer ____________________. A. speak as slowly as they like B. mix English into Chinese C. use shortened Chinese expressions D. have much time for their programs 2.According to the writer, “CBA” is supposed to be replaced with “________________”by CCTV anchors. A. 中国男子篮球职业联赛 B. 中国篮球协会全国男女篮球职业联赛 C. 中国篮球联赛 D. 男子篮球联赛 3.What’s Huang Youyi’s purpose? E. Using full English names instead of short forms. F. Translating Chinese terms into proper English. G. Avoiding Chinese words being mixed into English. H. Keeping our mother tongue a pure language. 4.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? I. China has fallen behind in the matter of protection of its language. J. The ban is not necessary. K. Chinese shouldn’t be corrupted. CCTV anchors will have a hard time.

brushing our teeth and maybe take a bath. When you do so, do you ever think that there is
enough water or not? One thirds of the 4.4 billion people in the developing world has no way to
clean drinking water. Water-relating diseases kill 10,000 to 20,000 children every day in the
developing world. What comes our minds when we read these numbers? Do you think we are
lucky or not? In a fact, the outlook for the future, even for us, are not very bright. So let us value
our water as much as possibly not only for ourselves, but also for our children.
