It was not the first time for Shi Benliang, a senior physics major at Peking University, to feed cats. But the 22-year-old felt sad when he saw the scars and wounds on the bodies of the little creatures.
“I can imagine how they have suffered from being abandoned. They lead a harsh life wandering around,” said the student..Shi is one of a dozen students at the university volunteering to feed the stray cats during the winter break.
Recruited by the Stray Cat Rescue Association at the university through a Bulletin Board System (BBS), he took turns with other students to care for the homeless animals. It is estimated that there are more than 100 stray cats on the campus of Peking University.
Jin Jing, 18, an economics freshman at the university, cared for the cats for two days. “At around 5 pm I cycled to the 22 feeding sites on campus marked on a special map,” she said. “At each site I left some cat food and water.”Jin was excited when the animals rushed to her feet. “Some are shy and timid, and others are more outgoing. Each of them has their own name such as ‘Sweet Orange’ or ‘Karl Marx’,” she said. “By feeding them I learned to respect life.”
Liu Chenhao, a senior electronics and computer science major, who is in charge of the association, said that feeding was just one part of their responsibilities.“Our aim is to keep the stray cats in check and maintain harmony between them and the students on campus,” he said.
The organization also takes cats to the animal hospital to be treated for oral and skin disease. Another of its major tasks is to find new homes for the cats by uploading their photos and information online.
“We’re very careful when selecting owners and ask them lots of questions to ensure that they won’t desert their cat under any circumstances, such as when they move house or get married,” Liu said. But he stressed that their acts of kindness shouldn’t encourage anyone to abandon their cat. “A cat’s normal life expectancy is more than 10 years, but a stray one may survive for only two or three.”  (365words)

56­year­old becomes 1st woman to swim Atlantic
(AP)－Jennifer Figge pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand, excited and exhausted as she touched land this week for the first time in almost a month. Reaching a beach in Trinidad, she became the first woman on record to swim across the Atlantic Ocean—a dream she'd had since the early 1960s,when a stormy trans­Atlantic (飛越大西洋) flight got her thinking she could wear a life vest and swim the rest of the way if needed.
The 56­year­old left the Cape Verde Islands off Africa's western coast on Jan.12,2009, swimming 19 out of 25 days battling waves of up to 30 feet.The distance from Cape Verde to Trinidad is about 700 miles.Crewmembers are still computing exactly how many miles she swam.
The original plan was for her to swim to the Bahamas—a distance of about 2,100 miles—but inclement (惡劣的) weather forced her to change her plans and she arrived at Trinidad on Feb.5.She now plans to swim from Trinidad to the British Virgin Islands,ending her voyage at the Bitter End Yacht Club in late February.
Her journey came a decade after French swimmer Benoit Lecomte made the first known solo trans­Atlantic swim,covering nearly 4,000 miles from Massachusetts to France in 73 days.No woman on record had made the crossing.
Figge wore a red cap and wet suit,with her only good­luck charm (護身符) underneath:an old,red shirt to guard against chafing (磨痛),signed by friends,relatives and her father,who recently died.The other cherished (珍惜) possession she kept onboard was a picture of Gertrude Ederle,an American who became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.“We have a few things in common,”Figge said,“She wore a red hat and she was of German descent (血統(tǒng)).We both talked to the sea,and neither one of us wanted to get out.”
小題1:When did Jennifer Figge want to swim across the Atlantic Ocean？
A．After she reached a beach in Trinidad.
B．After she pressed her toes into the Caribbean sand.
C．After her stormy trans­Atlantic flight in the early 1960s.
D．After her graduation from a university.
小題2:Jennifer Figge had to change her plans 　　　　.
A．because she wanted to shorten her voyage
B．because of bad weather conditions
C．because she wanted to end her voyage in late February
D．because she wanted to set a new world record
小題3:When did Benoit Lecomte probably make the first known solo trans­Atlantic swim？
A．In 1999.B．In 1988.C．In 1978 .D．In 1968.
小題4:For what purpose did Jennifer Figge keep a photo of Gertrude Ederle？
A．Figge would like to follow her example.
B．She had the same red cap as Figge always wore.
C．Figge also wanted to swim across the English Channel.
D．They were both born in Germany.

As Apple tries to maintain its growth and success in China, the world's largest smart-phone market is becoming even more critical. Apple's shares(股份) fell sharply as the company's earnings for the holiday quarter through December disappointed investors.
The sales of the iPhone, which include both the iPhone 5 and older models, came in at the low end of analysts' expectations, while the company's income plan for the second quarter was below analysts' forecasts, though Apple is known to give conservative (保守的) forecasts.
Som'6 analysts have said that for Apple to regain its growth, the company.needs a more aggressive strategy for markets, or more specifically for China, where the market for smart phones has been expanding more rapidly than anywhere else. In China, demand is particularly great for inexpensive phones that run on Android(安卓) operating system, sold by many Chinese phone makers as well as South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co.
But Apple says it's already enjoying strong growth in China. "We saw big growth in iPhones,"Chief Executive Tim Cook said. He said that the company has been quickly expanding its sales channels in China, including the number of Apple stores. "This isn't nearly what we need, we're not even close to that, but we're making great progress. " he said.
In China, a big missing piece for Apple is China Mobile Ltd. , the biggest local telecom carrier that doesn't yet sell the iPhone. Earlier this month, Mr. Cook met China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua in Beijing and discussed cooperation, stirring hopes that the world's largest mobile carrier may soon start offering the iPhone.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working on a lower-end iPhone that could launch as early as this year. But one possible challenge for Apple in China is that low-pricod Android-based phones are getting better in terms of quality. A report from CLSA in late November showed that many smart-phones sold at about 1,000 yuan ( $160) came with higher-reso-lution screens, better cameras and more powerful processors than phones at that price did a year earlier.
小題1:Apple's shares dropped sharply because in December__

A．their prices are actually lower than a year earlier
B．Apple in China has ability to deal with any problem
C．low-ended Android-based phones are progressing fast
D．the promotion of lower-end iPhone will face a challenge

As computers become more and more popular in China, Chinese are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(筆畫) of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer. All the students interviewed say they usually use computers.
It's faster and easier to correct the mistakes if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often in modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”        
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”              
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to type on a computer, why bother to write by hand?       
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic (審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. Besides, handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can  learn one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression.” 
To encourage students to write more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.  
小題1:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?           
A．The Importance of Typing
B．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand
D．To Type or to Write by Hand
小題2:The students interviewed prefer to type on a computer mainly because_______.
A．they can correct the mistakes quickly and conveniently
B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C．they find it hard to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true about advantages of handwriting?
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．Handwriting can impress people well and build their self-confidence.
C．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
小題4:The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 probably means________.
A．getting bored withB．becoming crazy about

Tabb doesn't look like a typical music teacher. But every weekday evening in the French Quarter New Orleans, he beats out the rhythm on his music stand as students play their chosen instruments.
“I'm doing my best to take young people away from harmful things,” said Tabb. His program,  "The Roots of Music”, offers free music education to more than 100 students. He struggles to keep young people on the straight and narrow in the city with the nation's highest murder rate(兇殺率).
Tabb chose to target 9­to14­year­olds with his program. “That's a very important time in your life,” he said. “If I catch them then, I can hold onto them for at least four or five years and guide them the way that will lead them to success.”
Students meet from 4 pm to 7 pm every weekday, all year round. They work with tutors(助教) on schoolwork, practice their music and eat a hot meal before heading home. With the money provided by some people, Tabb's group is able to provide bus transportation, instruments and food for free. He calls it his “no excuse” policy. “You have no excuse why you're not here,” Tabb said. Tabb owes the success in part to the nature of music. “You're always learning something new,”he said. “That's what keeps the kids coming back every day.”
But the program isn't only about fun. “Music is about discipline (紀律),”said Tabb. He insists on good behavior and keeps kids in order with threats of sit­ups(仰臥起坐), pushups(俯臥撐) or tasks like picking up grains of rice — but these measures aren't just punishment. Tabb wants young people to realize that music can help them build a better future. “I don't say that I'm saving lives,” he said. “I say I'm giving life — a whole different life of music.”
小題1:The underlined phrase  "keep young people on the straight and narrow” may mean ________.
A．keep young people standing straight
B．keep young people on the correct life track(道路)
C．keep young people busy performing music
D．keep young people away from the dangerous parts of the city
小題2:Which of the following kids may NOT be included in Tabb's program “ The Roots of Music”？
A．Jack, 8 years old.B．Tom, 9 years old.
C．John, 11 years old.D．Linda, 13 years old.
小題3:What attracts children to join in the program to learn music?
A．The free food and transportation.B．The famous music teacher.
C．The chance to learn new things.D．The strict discipline rules.
小題4:By saying “music is about discipline”, Tabb means ________.
A．keeping discipline is more important than learning music
B．obeying(遵守) rules is important in playing music well
C．music is also connected with kids' grades
D．kids can learn how to behave through music
小題5:What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Tabb's program offers young people help.
B．Kids improve grades through music learning.
C．Tabb offers kids free food to learn music.
D．Tabb performs music for street children.

Your teenage daughter is supposed to be doing homework, but you catch her chatting online. She tells you that she’s talking about the math test tomorrow. Before your eyes start rolling, listen up: teens are using social networking sites for more than just gossip, according to a new study by the National School Boards Association.
The students who took part in the online survey, aged 9 to 17, said they spent almost as much time on social networking online as they did watching television. And it is what these kids are talking about online that is causing such a cheer: education. Of the students who took part in the study 60 percent reported that some of the most popular social networking topics were college planning, learning outside of school, careers, and schoolwork. They also reported posting writing and art projects that might have nothing to do with schoolwork.
Ann Flynn, director of education technology for the National School Boards Association, says incorporating (合并) social networking tools into educational curriculum (課程) is the way forward. Flynn says a school in Cleveland, Ohio is posting students’ book reports on a blog for students of their own ages, parents and other teachers to read and comment on. “If someone reacts other than the teacher, a child is much more likely to take an assignment seriously,” Flynn says.
Not only students but also parents can benefit. Now parents can go online and know what the class is doing. So, next time your child says her blog is educational, get curious, sit down and check out the blog with her. You might just learn something new yourself.
小題1:We can infer from the text that Ann Flynn       .
A．supports students in using social networking sites
B．used to think badly of students’ using social networking sites
C．suggests schools set up their own social networking sites
D．suggests teachers inspect what students do on social networking sites
小題2:How does the school in Cleveland mentioned in the text use social net-working sites?
A．It asks each student to keep a blog.
B．It invites parents to comment on students’ work.
C．It welcomes comments on students’ book reports online.
D．It lets students keep in touch with their teachers online.
小題3:A student will not probably take an assignment seriously if he gets comments from       .
A．a(chǎn) strangerB．his teachersC．his parentsD．his classmates
小題4:Why can parents benefit from social networking sites?
A．Because parents can make a lot of friends online.
B．Because parents can help their children with their schoolwork.
C．Because parents can know their children’s learning at school.
D．Because parents can keep up with social development.

It is reported that six Chinese ships have entered waters near islands claimed by both China and Japan. China said the ships were carrying out “l(fā)aw enforcement” to demonstrate its jurisdiction(管轄權(quán)) over the islands, known as Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan. At least two of the ships left after the Japanese coast guard issued a warning, Japanese officials say.
The action came after Japan sealed a deal to buy three of the islands from their private Japanese owner. Japan controls the uninhabited but resource-rich East China Sea islands, which are also claimed by Taiwan.
The Japanese Coast Guard said the first two Chinese boats entered Japan’s territorial waters at 06:18 local time, followed by another fleet of four other ships just after 07:00. The first two ships then left the area. A third ship left later on Friday morning, one report said. No force was used, Japanese officials added. “Our patrol(巡邏) ships are currently telling them to leave our country’s territorial waters,” the coastguard said in a statement.
The Chinese foreign ministry confirmed that its ships were there. “These law enforcement and patrol activities are aimed to demonstrate China’s jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and ensure the country’s maritime interests,” a statement said.
The US has called for “cooler heads to be accepted” as tension worsens between China and Japan over the islands. US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is going to visit both Japan and China from this weekend as part of a tour of the region.
The dispute(爭端) has seriously damaged diplomatic relations between China and Japan and threatens to damage the strong trading relationship, says the BBC’s John Sudworth in Beijing. The dispute has also caused strong nationalist emotions on both sides that makes it very difficult to be seen to be backing down, says our reporter.
The Japanese government says it is buying the islands to promote their stable and peaceful management. China on the other hand, says the islands have historically been its territory and fishing grounds. Meanwhile Japan’s newly-appointed ambassador to China, Shinichi Nishimiya, remains in hospital in Tokyo. He was appointed on Tuesday to replace Uichiro Niwa, who has been criticized for his dealing with the worst diplomatic dispute between Japan and China in recent years.
小題1:The Diaoyu Islands are actually inhabited(居住) by              .
A．JapanB．ChinaC．TaiwanD．Nobody
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Japan fired at the 6 Chinese ships to warn them to leave the waters.
B．China admitted that the 6 ships had been forced to leave the waters.
C．The US called on both sides to calm down.
D．Shinichi Nishimiya was unconscious(昏迷的) in the hospital because somebody attacked him.
小題3:Why was Uichiro Niwa replaced?
A．He isn’t iron(強硬) enough in dealing with the diplomatic disputes between Japan and China.
B．His health condition is not good enough to work there.
C．He didn’t do well in dealing with the diplomatic dispute about the Diaoyu Islands.
D．He criticized the Chinese government publicly in an improper way.
小題4:This news report is most likely to be selected from the              newspaper.
A．BritishB．ChineseC．JapaneseD．American

This 17-year-old teenager from North Fayette, Pa．, has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin  Syndrome -- or "Sleeping Beauty Syndrome" -- that makes her sleep 18 to 19 hours a day．
And when she does wake up, she is often so tired out that she is in a sleepwalking state and  doesn't remember doing basic things like eating, according to KDKA-TV．
