题型:不详难度:来源:

After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk, you"d think China would be happy.Yet China is not pleased.That at least is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
China Is Not Happy was released in March.It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China.Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today.They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of outstanding performances."From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world.Westerners should be second," the book says.
The authors, single out the US for special scorn (轻蔑), and say their book"s message has been helped by the economic crisis."This economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, and that what we"ve been saying is right," said Wang Xiaodong, one of the authors in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.Since being released on March 13, the book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores.The publisher has printed 270,000 copies, and says sales are far better than expected.
Yet much of the response to the book has been negative.Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book"s radical opinions.The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily.Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism (爱国精神), but there is a limit.In her blog she wrote, "If we are to bully other countries, take the world"s resources and try to lead it, we"re going over the top." Wang Xiaodong admitted in an interview with the US" Time magazine that the book"s title is a bit of a trick."Those words in the title are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the marketplace," he says."We didn"t choose them.It was the people selling the book who chose the title, because it would sell well."

Scott Langteau has this message for kids: Spend less time playing video games.
It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.
But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s experienced at video games — one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.
Langteau has just published a children’s book called “Sofa Boy,” which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.
It’s a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau"s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great, I think they do great things for kids.Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation.(克制)”
_“It’s_about_being_well_rounded,” he says.“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”
Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders — people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.
But Langteau and “Sofa Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game-savvy masses might actually listen to.After all, this is a
man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.
1.Scott Langteau published “Sofa Boy” to_____________.
A.share his great skills on games                    
B.warn kids against game addiction
C.tell about his fairy tale as a kid             
D.deliver a message for games
2.We can learn from the passage that____________.
A.Langteau advises the young to play games within limits
B.Langteau advises the young not to play games
C.playing video games ruins the future of kids
D.playing video games is of no benefit to kids
3.By saying “It’s about being well rounded” Langteau thinks____________.20090506
A.games do great things for kids                
B.gamers are usually fat and round
C.games should be viewed from all sides        
D.gamers are to blame for their behaviors
4.What topic will be discussed in the following paragraph?
A.His idea to create “Sofa Boy”.
B.His great achievement in games as a kid.
C.His hard times to set up his game company.
D.His enthusiasm for games when he was a small boy.

After a lot of weightlifting and 25 exhausting days training, a 52-year-old woman recently became the first female “gripman” on San Francisco’s historic cable cars.
Fannie Barnes passed her written test and completed a final run under the watchful eye of a supervisor, Municipal Railway spokesman Alan Siegel said.
Deep calluses(茧) are already forming at the base of her fingers and there is a hole in her glove. Two other women quit after a single day with injured muscles. “Now they’re going to have to change the word from gripman to grip person, just because of me,” Barnes said earlier, “I’m so excited.”
After almost a year of serious workouts, Barns can pull more than 61 kilos, only 23 kilos less than her body weight. And she’ll need the muscle, for this is no modern, push-button technology. Every time a car starts up again after making a stop, the gripman must haul back on a lever controlling a device that grips the cable, which runs continuously at 14 kilometers per hour. If the grip slips, so does the car. A second person operates the brakes.
In addition to having to throw her weight around on the job, she’s got to throw out some attitude to men who were hard to convince. The city employs 76 men in the job.
“A lot of men said mean things to me and didn’t want to help train me. But I would like to thank the guys who were against me because they gave me even more inspiration to do it.” she said.
Not all the men were against her. Many of the male colleagues yelled out support as she did her training runs. One of her biggest tests was drizzly December morning. She first went down the Hyde Street Hill, considered the most dangerous incline on the cable car routes. “I had to have the will and I had to believe I could do it,” she said. “It was scary, but as I started going down full grip and felt that I was in control, I knew I was on my way,” Barnes already is a pioneer of sorts. She started working as a cable car conductor six years ago, collecting fares and assisting on the back brake. She is one of only three women to have that job. But she said she always wanted the job up front on the car. (400)
1. What is unusual about Fannie Barnes getting a job as a gripman?
A. She is the oldest one to work as a grpman.
B. She is the first women to work as a gripman.
C. She is the fattest women to work as a gripman.
D. She is the most suitable one to work as a gripman.
2. What did the 52-year-old woman do when she first began working on the city’s cable car?
A. As a gripman.    B. As a conductor.    C. As a brakeman.  D. As a supervisor.
3. It can be inferred from the passage that Fannie Barnes is ________.
A. strong and easy-going      B. strong-willed and self-confident
C. popular and humorous      D. considerate and quick-tempered
