[1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China, if the country continues its opening up.
[2]How could it not? The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity. As China strengthens its economy, allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts, the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.
[3]And once it does, its people might choose to adot some of them.
[4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners . When I announced my Beijing job to American friends, family and neighbors, they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China.
[5] Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances, which typically are times of stress between the two countries.We hear about arguments with China over climate change, Taiwan and Tibet, but that doesn" t tell average Americans anything about average Chinese.
[6]Most American- don"t know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol, baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp.
[7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle(接触).As they do there" s no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil.but some of them surely will.
[8] Maybe we" 11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop.That wouldn" t make the game any less American.
[9] Meanwhile, I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese.To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China, instead of strengthens it, assumes the country" s culture is fragile.That" s a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take.

China will plan to make new rules to give more controls over the growing number of blogs and webcasts.
Nowadays, advanced network technologies, such as Hogging and webcasting, are being improved to challenge the government’s ability to watch over the Internet.
Chinese government was in the middle of making new rules over Internet publishing, and blogs and websites that publishing webcasts would fall under these rules.

Despite the growing popularity, bloggers and webcasters have been unpopular with publication institutions.
In 2006, a series of cases involving bloggers who had dived into other people’s privacy and written materials ruining other’s fame urged the government to consider whether to require bloggers to use their real names when they login in.
Webcasting without copyright and illegally “copying" products from copyrighted materials have also led government officials to consider starting a nationwide check of online video broadcasting, and allow only qualified websites to continue offering webcasts.

Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards(外部奖赏), from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary (金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements (刺激) indeed aid inventiveness(创造力), according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology".
"If kids know they"re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it"s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards." A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore
failing grades.
In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.
71.Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _____.
A.the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards
B.the amount of monetary rewards for students" creativity
C.the study of relationship between actions and their consequences
D.the effects of external rewards on students" performance
72.What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students?
A.They have no doubts about them.
B.They have doubts about them.
C.They approve of them.
D.They avoid talking about them.
73.Which of the following can best raise students" creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?
A.Giving them tasks they have not dealt with before.
B.Giving them tasks which require inventiveness.
C.Giving them rewards they really deserve.
D.Giving them rewards they hope for.
74..It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe ______.
A.rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students
B.punishment is more effective than rewarding
C.failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards
D.discouraging the students" anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency
75.The phrase "token economies" (Sentence 1, Paragraph 5) probably refers to _____.
A.ways to develop economy
B.systems of rewarding students
C.approaches to solving problems
D.methods of improving performance

The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
Observers noted down the referees" errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.
There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
If FIFA, football"s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
He also says that FIFA"s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

A. slightly above average B. higher than in the 1998 World Cup

D. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
43. The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.
A. the researchers involved in the experiment
B. the inspectors of the football tournament
C. the referees of the football tournament
D. the observers at the site of the experiment
44. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
D

When people are dreaming, brain scans show a lot of activities. The brain is online during dreams. The experiences you have during the day are connected during dream sleep. People we know or experiences we"ve had at different times in our lives may be different in the same dream.
AmyBeth Gilstrap has had the same recurring(再次发生;循环) dream that annoyed her since Hurricane Katrina drove her and her daughter and friends out of New Orleans. Mrs. Gilstrap says, “It is always spies. My job is to get people to some place.” She"s certain the dream is related to her efforts in the hurricane to help several families leave. Sometimes her cats also are part of that dream.
