2010", a music festival in Germany, killed 19 people and left hundreds hurt.
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed her shock over Saturday"s tragedy in the western
city of Duisburg."This was a very sad day, "Merkel said."We must do everything we can to ensure that
something like this never happens again."
Witnesses said that people pushed into the narrow tunnel, the only entrance to the Love Parade
festival, from both sides until it was dangerously overcrowded.The panic began as festivalgoers began
to lose consciousness as they were crushed against the walls and each other.The dead included eight
foreigners, from Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, China, Bosnia and Spain.More than 340 people
were injured.
After the panic, a lot of emergency vehicles, including helicopters, could be seen parked on the
highway leading to the festival site, carrying away the injured people.The festival itself, however, went
on.Police were afraid that ending the music altogether could cause further unrest among the crowd.
"The event was a real mess, "Patrick Guenter, a 22yearold baker, said."Although the festival was
full, they kept letting people in, " he added."It seems the organisers didn"t plan the route.The road was
very narrow, and no one knew what was going on."said Taggart BowenGaddy,20, an American from
Philadelphia.
Officials said 4,000 police officers and 1,000 security guards provided security for the event, which
attracted up to 1.4 million people.The authorities had only given organisers permission for 250,000
people to attend.
"I warned one year ago that Duisburg was not a suitable place for the Love Parade.The city is too
small and narrow for such events.It is a pity that..." German police union chief Rainer Wendt told the
Bild.
The chief organiser, Rainer Schaller, said the popular event would never be held again, "out of
respect for the victims and their families".
First held in Berlin in 1989 just months before the fall of the Wall, the Love Parade is one of the
biggest music festivals in Europe.It left Berlin from 2007 onwards after disagreements with the city
authorities over security and has been held in several other German cities in recent years.

respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment.
The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on
September 23, 2011 in New York.
Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,
especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation"s website.
In early 1969, Tu was appointed head of a government project that aimed to eradicate(消灭) malaria, and it was then that she began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug
therapy for malaria.
After detecting (检测) 380 extracts ( 提取物) made from 2,000 candidate recipes, Tu and her
colleagues obtained a pure substance called "Qinghaosu", which became known as artemisinin in 1972.
An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the World
Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said a
statement from the foundation.
The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945.
Lasker Awards are known as "America"s Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future
recognition by the Nobel committee. In the last two decades, 28 Lasker laureates (得奖者) have gone
on to receive the Nobel Prize, and 80 since 1945.
B．She is a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing.
C．She is the first scientist in the world to win America"s respected Lasker Award.
D．She began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug therapy for
malaria in 1969.
B．the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation
C．Chinese Medical Sciences
D．Albert and Mary
B．It has reduced malaria.
C．It applied modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine.
D．It has saved millions of lives across the globe, especially in the developing world.
risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌),an unusual but deadly cancer,researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk, the study of 60,000
people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health
habits,said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota,who led the study.
"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰岛素)in the body,which
we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell"s growth,"Pereira said in a statement.
Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers & Prevention,Pereira and his colleagues said
they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.
Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer. Those who drank two or more
sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic
cancer.
Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.
"Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare . Favorite pastimes (消遣) are eating and
shopping,so the findings should apply to other Western countries,"he said.
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
"Although this study found a risk,the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it
remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not,"said Mayne,who serves on the board
of the journal,which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with 230,000 cases globally. In the United
States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.
B．Scientists from Singapore.
C．Researchers in Yale.
D．Susan Mayne.
B．2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health
C．87 out of 140 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer
D．sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer
B．Doubtful.
C．Worried.
D．Hopeful.
B．Drink Fruit Juice Instead of Sodas
C．A Study in University of Minnesota
D．Sugary Soft Drinks Lead to Cancer
That"s because it took me six or seven attempts at a second novel before I started and
completed this one.
●Why do you think you had so many false starts?
I would say that my reasons were wrong:I was trying to prove that I wasn"t just a
mother-daughter storyteller,or I was trying to prove that I didn"t just have to write about
things that were strictly Chinese or ChineseAmerican.Those were never the right reasons
for writing those early stories.And I could never come up with other,better reasons for
continuing them.
●What kept you going on this book?
This book was different because it was based on my mother"s real life.The reason for
writing it became more personal and emotional.After The Joy Luck Club came out,my
mother was always explaining to people that she wasn"t any of the mothers in that book.
And at one point she said to me,"Next book tells my true story."And then she started telling
me things I never knew before.She also told me many,many stories,because my mother
doesn"t generalize.The book really grew out of that.
●Have you ever visited China?
Yes.I"ve been there twice:about three years ago and then again last November,both times
with my mother and my husband.
●Was it difficult to capture the ChineseAmerican dialect without sounding like a parody
(拙劣的模仿)?
No,because it"s the language I"ve heard all my life from my mother.She speaks English as
it"s direct translation from Chinese.But it"s more than that:Her language also has more
imagery than English.
●Can you think of an example?
Somebody might say to me,"Don"t work so hard.You"ll kill yourself."My mother will say
to me,"Why do you press all your brains out on this page for someone else?"So it"s very vivid.
That"s the way she talks.
●Have many readers told you that the Chinese mother in your book reminded them of the
typical Jewish(有癖好的)mother?
Many people have told me that.I think the motherdaughter relationship is very intense in
both cases.Culturally there is an acceptance that mothers have the power to tell their children,
especially their daughters,how to conduct their lives-not simply up until the time they are 18,
but for the rest of their lives.However,when children grow up in a different culture from their
parents",they tend to keep more secrets from their parents.The children think,"They just
wouldn"t understand that I had to do this."And that can really create a gap,and it can grow as
the number of secrets grows.
B．A storywriter.
C．An interviewer.
D．An interviewee.
A．It"s about her real life in America.
B．The name of the book is The Joy Luck Club
C．It is the result of many times of careful thought.
D．It includes many works of her mother.
B．How many books does she plan to write?
C．When did she visit China?
D．How is generation gap created?
B．how to deal with the motherdaughter relationship
C．how to conduct the lives
D．how the generation gap comes about
destruction there.
Tens of thousands of people in the Caribbean nation were killed, and many more were injured.
The Presidential Palace, which is like the White House in the US, was among the many government
buildings that collapsed. Hospitals were destroyed, as were countless homes. The disaster added more
suffering to people already struggling to cope with everyday life. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in
the world.
International aid groups are rushing to provide food, water, and medical aid to Haiti. People
worldwide are donating money to help. Many nations, including the US, are sending aid as well as
money. The US is sending troops to help with rescue and relief efforts, and to police the streets. "This is
a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share, " said US President Barack
Obama.
The earthquake"s epicenter-the point on the Earth"s surface directly above where it happened-was
about 10 miles from Haiti"s capital, PortauPrince. Experts say it was the worst earthquake in the region
in more than 200 years. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7. 0 on the Richter scale, which is very high. More than 30 aftershocks, or smaller earthquakes, came after the big quake.
Some Americans have a special concern about the situation in Haiti-family and friends. Hundreds of
thousands of people in the US are from Haiti. They are anxiously seeking news of loved ones. And like
other Americans, they are working to help Haiti recover from this disaster.
The earthquake in Haiti occurred on a long fault, or crack in the Earth"s surface, which goes across
the island. This underground crack separates two giant tectonic (地壳构造上的) plates, or slabs
( 石板) of rock that make up the Earth"s outer layer. Along the fault, the plates slowly rub past one
another in opposite directions. But this movement isn"t smooth. The plates"edges get stuck for long
periods of time. Eventually, they may suddenly jerk free. That sudden movement is what results in an
earthquake.
B. cut the country off from outside aid
C. destroy hospitals
D. kill tens of thousands of people
B. a tornado recently hit the country
C. most of them are very poor
D. a drought has ruined crops
B. how long an earthquake lasted
C. where an earthquake happened
D. when an earthquake happened
B. The home of the President of Haiti is called the White House.
C. The United States is trying to help Haiti only by sending troops.
D. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians are leaving for the US after the earthquake.
B. the structure of the Earth
C. how to make the earthquake forecast
D. what causes an earthquake

however,when discussing the future,emphasizingthe huge task the Winter Sports administration
faced to close the gap on their Summer counterparts,who toppled the table at the 2008
Beijing Olympics.
"Despite the good results at these Games,we still have a long way to go in the development
of China"s winter sports," he said.
"It"s impossible for us to reach the same level as we have done in Summer sports,but we
will try to minimize the gap as much as we can."
