left millions homeless? On the twelfth day after the earthquake, Premier Wen Jiabao said, "A new Wenchuan
will rise from the ruins (废墟)." Now his words have come true. Three years has passed and the worst-hit
areas in Sichuan have risen from the ruins.
So far, 95% of the reconstruction projects (重建项目) have been completed. Nearly 3,000 schools, 1,000
hospitals and more than 5 million homes have been built. Now everyone has been provided with a home, a job
and social security (社保).
Dong Xinjun, a villager in Qingchuan, said volunteers from Zhejiang taught him how to grow mushrooms
and now he makes about 3,000 yuan more than before every year.
Zhu Lihu, the headmaster of a village primary school in Qingchuan, told us that teaching equipment had
been greatly improved. Now they have new classrooms, a library and a computer room with 20 computers.
On May 8th, 2011, Premier Wen Jiabao made his 10th visit to Sichuan Province after the earthquake. He
visited a lot of middle schools and neighborhoods. At Beichuan Middle School, Premier Wen embraced a
student named Zheng Haiyang, who lost both of his legs in the earthquake. The students told Premier Wen
that their new school was very beautiful. And they would never forget that it was built with the hearts and
strength of people across the whole country.
Premier Wen believes that the people in Wenchuan have a "strong will" and a "bright future". They will
never back down, but stand bravely on this land.

their products (产品) and the price of these products in the markets is lower, too. Thus they give us better
values. At the same time, new technology and science are always at work, improving the quality of products.
In this way, better quality products at good values are one after the other being brought to the people of all
income groups.
As an example of how this works, when facial tissues, pieces of thin soft paper that you use to blow your
nose, were first put on the market in 1924, they were made in small numbers and sold at 60 cents per box of
200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different
stores.
Because there was such a market for the product, producers began making tissues in larger and larger
numbers. Because the producers were making tissues in greater numbers, the costs were lowered, so that the
cost of tissues went down. At the same time, the quality of facial tissues was improving, because more
producers went into the business of making tissues, and each producer tried to make his product better than
his competitors (竞争者). Today, instead of costing 60 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around
one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
When people are free to compete, when they are free to make more things and make them better, we all
feel much better.

D. To tell the readers how the tissues are sold.

C. The more products they sell, the less money they make.
D. The freer you are, the better you feel.
You wouldn"t steal a car. You would never rob (抢劫) a bank or pick someone"s pocket. But you may
be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of
their intellectual properly rights (知识产权).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property
rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文学的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They
are of little value (价值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money
and time making a new product. That"s why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盗版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no
respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make
pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how
much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版权费) also should be fair to the users. That"s good for the music"s popularity and
society as well.
C. He doesn"t care about it.
D. The article doesn"t tell us.
B. Literary and artistic works.
C. Names end pictures.
D. Pirated music.
B. The copyright fee should ha fair to users.

D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.
B. Copyright Fees
C. Say No to pirated Music
D. World Intellectual Property Day
across the country, cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place.
"People are afraid to spend now," said Linda Morrow, who owns a shoe and handbag store."They don"t
know what the future will bring." During the financial crisis (金融危机), several of the country"s biggest
banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.
Samira Marino, a restaurant owner in Miami, has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and
more people are sharing meals.
In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans
talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts (怀疑) about simply making ends
meet (维持生计).
The crisis began last year. Experts think it was because US banks lend money too easily. Last year a lot
of people and companies,who borrowed money, have found themselves unable to pay it back. This left the
banks, as well as the people who put their money in the banks, without money. Since the banks borrowed
money between themselves and even across borders (国界), the whole world was in trouble.
This month the US government agreed on a $700 billion plan to try to save the financial market. But no
one is sure whether it will help or not. President George W. Bush has warned it will take some time. Last
week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money
trouble.

companies. First, there were traditional companies which sold things in stores. Then, there were Internet
companies which didn"t have stores; they sold things only over the Net.
Traditional companies didn"t want to lose any business. Quickly, they created their own websites and
began selling things over the Net. These are the so-called "brick and click" companies. Many stores are
made of brick, and you click on your mouse to buy things with your computer. That"s where the name
"brick and click" comes from.
By the late 1990"s, e-businesses like Amazon.com, Buy.com, and eToys.com were in trouble. Their
profits were not very high, and there was a lot of competition. Many of these businesses lost a lot of money,
and in 2000, many businesses were out of business. Why are brick and click companies, like Barnes and
Noble, Toys RUs, and Walmart 50 successful? First, many customers know and trust their names. Their
websites, like Walmart.com, are easy to remember. These companies also have a lot of experience. They
know how to run a successful business.
In the world of e-commerce (电子商务), companies are fighting for every dollar and every customer.
Will brick and click companies win the war? only time will tell.

for their chores, such as setting the table, washing dishes, and cleaning up their play and bedrooms.
People have different opinions about paying little kids for doing chores or just giving money to them. Some
families think that everyone in the family should do housework, and that kids shouldn"t be paid for doing so.
The supporters (支持者), however, believe that kids should get paid, and that the money they get will help kids
learn important skills of how to use it.
But for those who to give the money, it can be a headache deciding on how much they should give,
especially in these difficult economic (经济的) times. A good idea is that you can keep of how
much you spend on your child daily for two weeks and then decide how much you should give according to
the average (平均的) daily amount. Kids can start receiving money around ages 4 or 5, when children start to
understand how money works.
