A senior United Nations Children's fund （UNICEF） official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children's welfare（福利）.

A.H.M. Farook, UNICEF's operations area officer for China and Mongolia said, “China can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

China's child population makes up one fifth of the world's total.

“The reason behind the remarkable achievement is China's long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society," he said.

“What's more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need."

The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children's Welfare Home at the Shangri la Hotel, Beijing.

The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks（小吃）, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine" party, as a prelude（前奏） to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.

The Beijing children's Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400－500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese worker earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year. k+s-5#u 

Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary general of the China Youth Development Foundation （CYDF）, said people from all walks of like have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment（建立） of 2,074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

Most of the things I really need to know about how to live, what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.   1  was not at the top of the graduate school mountain,  2  there in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play  3  . Don’t hit people. Put things back  4  you found them. Return things to whomever they belong to. Clean  5 your own messes. Keep your own room clean. Don’t  6  things that are not yours. Say you’re sorry when you   7  somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work some every day. When you go out into the world, hold hands and stay   8  . Always remember to learn.  Warm cookies and cold milk are both good   9  you. Live a   10  life. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots   11  down and the plant goes up and   12 really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they all die.  13  do we. And then remember the first   14 you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything   15  you need to know is in there somewhere.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all—the whole world—had cookies and milk at about 3 o’clock every afternoon and then   16  for a nap, or   17  we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always return things to whoever they belong to. And it is still   18  that no matter how   19  you are, when you go out into the world,  20  is the best to hold hands and not get away from the group.

SPAIN is unique. Enough sunshine, gorgeous beaches and delicious food make it a favourite holiday spot for millions of Europeans. But eating and sunbathing is not all this Mediterranean country has to offer. Its wild nightlife has given Spaniards a well―earned reputation as non-stop party animals. The traditional afternoon nap known as a “siesta” means millions of Spanish people can live a crazy life every day. Not into drinking and dancing? Take a look at the vibrant arts scece, with numerous galleries and museum featuring Spain’s many famous artists like Salvador Dail, Pablo Picasso and Antonio Gaudi. Take our tour around the country.

Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean sea, is famous as the host city for the 1992 Olympic Games. It is Spain’s second largest city, after Madrid. Barcelona is filled with landmark places and world-class museums, including Antonio Gaudi’s famed La Sagrada Familia cathedral, the Museu Picasso, and the Las Ramblas street.

Barcelona also has great nightlife. There are many outdoor squares in the city. So when the weather is good, which it usually is, there are also popular places for people to get together. Nightlife kicks off from about 8 or 9 pm. Then things quiet down until a second surge of energy brings out the post-dinner crowds from 11pm to midnight.

Madrid, the capital of Spain, located in the center of the Iberian Peninsula (半島), has a number of places, castles, museums and other unique places, such as the Plaza Mayor, the Cibeles Fountain, and the Palacio Real, as well as the fantastic bullring(斗牛場), Las Ventas. The city of 3.5 million people also has many theatres, live music venues and nightclubs because dinner is served late in Spain, usually around 9 pm, nightlife doesn’t really get under way until after 11 pm. Native people are so fond of wandering around at night that they are known in Spain as gatos(cats.) Young people love to meet in nightclubs to drink and sing together.

Valencia,  on the Mediterranean coast, is Spain’s third―largest city. It is usually a quiet city with a population of half a million. But during the Las Falls Festival in March, the number can reach 3 million. Valencia is famous for its nightlife and bars. In the summer, people enjoy gathering at open―air bars. The bars play music, often have dance floors, and are open from late May to September. The nightlife lasts from 7 or 8 pm to 2 am on weekdays, and 5 am on weekends.

Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can  36  with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the  37  I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that  38  me each day. It represented a wide range of music  39  ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that  40  . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they  41  .
While music is the most important  42  I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many  43  presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’  44  is the top 40 countdown where I get to   45  all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the  46  I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen   47  to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to  48  about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all  49  their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning  50  other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘a(chǎn)ds’, are all  51  of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve   52  learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed,   53  while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be  54  radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening  55  most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.
36．A．talk          B．think     C．listen         D．deal
