Malaysia has launched a fleet of women-only taxis，a project that follows pink-coloured train carriages and buses aimed at protecting women from harassment，reports said Sunday．Fifty women taxi drivers have started shuttling greater Kuala Lumpur(吉隆坡)on an on-call basis，and the government hopes the number of special taxis will expand to 400．

According to Heng Seai Kei，deputy minister for the state’s Women，F(xiàn)amily and Community Development，the taxis made travelling safer for women，as well as providing jobs for women who wanted to be taxi drivers．“We hope it will reduce the number of rape and robbery cases involving taxi drivers and female victims，”Heng said at the launch of the service．The idea was to have taxis that were“driven by women，for women”．

The service would also help create job opportunities for women，especially single mothers，housewives and pensioners，who were looking for another source of income for their family．The ministry and Abex Manufacturing Sdn Bhd are providing training and courses for those who were interested to become female taxi drivers，said Heng．

One of the taxi drivers Faridah Idris，38，said the service provided women a safer option to travel in．“Women passengers are normally more comfortable with US．For female drivers，there are always risks when picking up passengers，especially at night．With this project，both female drivers and passengers can feel safer,”she said．

Late last year, Malaysia’s state-owned bus company began running female-only buses on several routes in Kuala Lumpur during peak hours to help prevent sexual harassment on crowded public transport．They followed ladies-only pink train carriages launched on the transport system to give the women in the Muslim-majority country the option of travelling separately from men．

66．The underlined word“harassment”in the first paragraph refers to some kind of    .

A．unpleasant service                            B．traffic accident

C．environmental pollution                    D．bad behavior

67．What is told about the taxi service in Kuala Lumpur?

A．Men drivers can’t take women passengers．

B．Men drivers can’t drive the women-only taxis，

C．Women drivers Can’t drive ordinary taxis．

D．No taxi can mix men and women passengers．

68．The women-only taxi fleet will employ      .

A．only experienced drivers                  B．only part-time drivers

C．some volunteer drivers                     D．some newly-trained drivers

69．The new information we get from Faridah Idris’ words is that the project can    .

A．provide jobs for more women                  B．make women passengers safer

C．reduce the women drivers’risks            D．improve the transport service

"S. H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?" cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S. H.E. fan.

      After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S. H. E. ’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.

      The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers' English names.

      Last week S. H. E. announced they would perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.

      "I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank God that, although my parents don't understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show," said Peng about the Shanghai performance.

      It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have made audiences much excited. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia.

      When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. "We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning," recalled Ella.

      When asked about the secret of their success, she said, "Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girls next door, your singing sisters."

      "It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols(偶像). Nothing but magical," she said.
