At least 10 million hectares of cultivated(耕作)land in China are polluted, which makes a grave threat to the country’s food safety, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.
The polluted land,which is mostly in economically developed areas,accounts for one-tenth of the country’s total arable(可耕種的)land,according to an incomplete survey by the State Environmental Protection Administration,China’s top environment watchdog.
Pollution on cultivated land threatens the environment,food safety and the sustainable development of agriculture,the administration said.
Because of continual,too much use of chemical fertilizer, pesticide and agricultural plastic sheeting, as well as irrigation using polluted water, a large amount of contaminants(污染物)remain in the cultivated land.
The contaminants affect the soil’s ecological structure and function,leading to decreased soil productivity, lower crop yield(產(chǎn)量),and lower quality of agricultural products-
It also leads to worse water quality in rural areas.
Less than 9 per cent of drinkable water passed checks for bacteria in243 rural water supply stations across the county.
Another survey, which took samples of drinking water and groundwater an 69 small towns。 in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province of North,China, showed that more than half of the water contains too much nitrate(硝酸鹽),which may cause diabetes(糖尿。゛nd damage the kidney.
The administration estimated at least 1 90 million farmers are drinking water that contains harmful substances.
Many villagers drink unfiltered water taken from shallow water wells or water cellars, which are reported to have poor sanitary conditions·

The “Liaoludu 7”was traveling in the Bohai Straits(渤海海峽)from Lushun in Liaoning Province to the port city of Longkou in Shandong Province. It suddenly lost its power at 2:30 pm and tilted(傾斜)on its side. With 81 people on board, the ferry(渡船)began to sink.
“I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move forward. They kept shaking even when I was asked to jump onto a “ lifeboat.” Cao recalled.
Upon receiving the urgent appeal, China Marine Search and Rescue Center(中國海上搜救中心)immediately informed the State Council(國務院).The center sent eight lifeboats to the sinking ship and asked for help form the Ministry of Agriculture, the Navy and nearby fishing boats.
After more than four hours of fighting against strong winds and freezing ocean water, the passengers were recovered. All but four survived. These four died after spending too long in the freezing waters, according to a spokesperson for the Beijing-based center.

Tens of thousands of smartphone applications are running ads from the overwhelming(勢不可擋的) advertising networks that change smartphone settings and copy people’s contact information without permission.
Aggressive ad networks can disguise(假扮) ads as text message notifications (通告), and sometimes change browser settings and bookmarks. Often, the ads will upload your contacts list to the ad network’s servers--- information that the ad network can then sell to marketers.
Sounds scary? It’s not a giant problem yet, but it’s a growing one. As many as 5% of free mobile apps use an “aggressive” ad network to make money, according to Lookout, a San Francisco-based mobile security company. PhoneLiving was one of the most popular app developers to use these kinds of ad networks; their dozens of talking animal apps have been downloaded several million times. Later, PhoneLiving says it has mended its ways. The company admittedusing invasive techniques to make money from its apps, but said it dropped those methods at the start of July because of bad reviews and declining downloads.
The most popular type of apps that use aggressive ad networks are “Personalisation” apps, which include wallpapers. Comic and entertainment apps are also among the most likely to have rogue(兇猛的) ad networks running behind the scenes. Like aggressive pop-ups on PCs, the bad software isn’t easy to get rid of. Though the damage can typically be removed by deleting the app, it can be hard to tell which app is causing the problems.
When developers create free mobile apps, they usually make money through ads displayed within the app. App makers don’t usually tell people which ad network they are using, which makes it hard to avoid the known offenders. The best defense is to read reviews and avoid downloading apps that have attracted many complaints.
小題1:What is an example of bad behavior by the annoying mobile ads?
A.They change browser settings and bookmarks.
B.They change people’s calendar settings.
C.They send scam text messages occasionally.
D.They download free versions of games.
小題2:What do we know about PhoneLiving?
A.Its operation model is against the will of netizens.
B.It was forced to admit its bad behavior.
C.It has changed its business model rapidly.
D.Its relationship with Lookout may break up.
小題3:Why is the bad software hard to get rid of?
A.The software runs behind the scenes.
B.The app is very hard to delete.
C.It is difficult to find the problem app.
D.The network antivirus is out of date.
小題4:What does the underlined word, “ invasive”, mean in the third paragraph?
A.innovative B.positive C.flexible D.a(chǎn)ggressive
小題5:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Mobile ads can attack your phone and steal your contacts.
B.Mobile ads have become popular in recent years.
C.Smartphones have been damaged by mobile ads.
D.You may download some aggressive apps unconsciously.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外部的) result or product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles.In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
小題1:A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______..
A.he has given up his smoking habit
B.he has made great efforts in his work
C.he is interested in making anything new
D.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey
小題2:In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______.
A.judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
B.succeed in climbing up the social ladder
C.face difficulties and take up challenges
D.a(chǎn)im high and reach his goal each time
小題3:When the author says “a new way of being” (para.3), he is referring to _____.
A.a(chǎn) new way of taking risks
B.a(chǎn) new approach to experiencing the world
C.a(chǎn) new system of adapting to change
D.a(chǎn) new method of finding ourselves
小題4:For personal growth, the author may not support __________.     .
A.curiosity and more chances
B.being quick in self – adaptation
C.open – minded to new experiences
D.a(chǎn)voidance of internal fears and doubts

TOKYO - Japan is considering plans to calm tensions(緊張)with China by acknowledging(承認) Chinese claims to the disputed islands in the East China Sea, while maintaining its own position, Kyodo News cited sources as saying on Tuesday.
The report said that the plans would allow Japan, without changing its long-held position, to compromise a little with China, which has called on Tokyo to acknowledge the existence(存在) of a dispute(沖突)over the Chinese Diaoyu Islands, referred to as Senkaku Islands in Japan.
Japan has refused to rescind its recent purchase(購買) in mid-September of three of the five Diaoyu islands from a so-called private Japanese owner, which the government says was meant to maintain(繼續(xù))the uninhabited islands in a stable manner, despite China's strong protest.
It remains uncertain, however, whether China would be encouraged by the Japanese step to improve the tensioned ties, said Kyodo.

LONDON (AP) — England joins on Sunday the growing list of places that ban smoking in public buildings, taxis and other places including even Buckingham Palace with a tough law.
Pubs, clubs and restaurants will all be smoke-free. Taxi and delivery drivers have been warned that they too could be fined 50 pounds, or about $100, if caught lighting up inside work vehicles.
Experts say the bans have become an irreversible (不可逆轉(zhuǎn)的) tread because of greatly rising health costs and public uneasiness over second-hand smoke. Some of the strictest smoking bans are in the United States, even though there is no federal anti-smoking policy. New York and Florida have strict bans, while California has certain outdoor smoking bans.
Spain, Italy, Iran, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, South Africa, Uruguay and new Zealand have passed legislation(立法) to restrict smoking. France banned smoking in many public places in February and plans to extend the ban to cafes and restaurants next year. Finland is introducing a ban in 2009.
Despite the spread of bans, the World Health Organization predicts a steady rise in tobacco sales. In its Tobacco Atlas, the WHO said that by 2030 there will be “at least another two billion smokers in the world” and an expected decrease in male smokers “will be offset by an increase in female smoking rates, especially in developing countries.”
In advance of the English ban, anti-smoking ads have coated bus stops and the British government has subsidized(資助) programs to help people quit. The rest of Britain—Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland —already have smoking bans in place.
小題1:The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______
A.Buckingham Palace bans smoking
B.smoking ban comes into force in England
C.there’s no smoking in Buckingham Palace
D.smoking is against the law in England
小題2:Which of the following places may still be smoking areas in England?
A.Private housesB.Taxis.
C.Restaurants.D.London clubs
小題3:The underlined word “offset” in paragraph 5 probably means “________”.
A.decreasedB.raisedC.encouragedD.balanced
小題4:What do we know from the passage?
A.Smoking has strictly been forbidden in cafes in France.
B.There is an extremely strict smoking ban everywhere in America.
C.Smoking situation is still serious across the world.
D.Related ads didn’t appear in England until the English ban was lifted.(解除)

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia found.
Their experiments on more than 630 Americans showed they were measurably happier when they spent money on others even if they thought spending the money on themselves would make them happier.
“We wanted to test our theory that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia. They asked their 600 volunteers first to rate their general happiness, report their annual income and detail their monthly spending including bills, gifts for themselves, gifts for others and donations to charity.
“No matter how much income each person made, those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not,” Dunn said in a statement.
Dunn’s team also surveyed 16 employees at a company in Boston before and after they received an annual profit-sharing bonus of between $3,000 and $8,000. “Employees who devoted more of their bonus to prosocial spending experienced greater happiness after receiving the bonus, and the manner in which they spent that bonus was a more important predictor of their happiness than the size of the bonus itself,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
They gave their volunteers $5 or $20 and half got clear instructions on how to spend it. Those who spent the money on someone or something else reported feeling happier about it.
“These findings suggest that very minor changes in spending allocations-as little as $5 may be enough to produce real gains in happiness on a given day,” Dunn said.
小題1:What is the general idea of the passage?
A.The more you earn, the greater happiness you will get.
B.Spending more money on yourself will make you happier.
C.Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else.
D.You can spend only $5 a day on someone else to get happiness.
小題2:The underlined work “boost” in the first paragraph probably means      .
A.help to findB.help to increaseC.help to bringD.help to get
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Those who spend more money on others can get much more bonus.
B.People usually think spending money on themselves will make them happier.
C.Very small changes in spending your money may be enough to gain happiness.
D.Researchers think that how people spend their money is at least as important as how much money they earn.
小題4:Dunn is       .
A.a(chǎn) reporter in a journalB.a(chǎn) volunteer in the experiment
C.a(chǎn)n employee in a companyD.a(chǎn) psychologist at a university
小題5:It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that      .
A.the volunteers not given $5 or $20 spent their own money on themselves
B.those who spent the money on someone or something else felt happier about it
C.the volunteers were given $5 or $20 as a reward for the experiment
D.half of the volunteers could spend the money as they liked
