     LOS ANGELES-Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve.Revelers (狂歡者) ringing in

full moon in a month.But don't expect it to be blue-the name has nothing to do with the color of our
closest space neighbor.
     A full moon occurred on Dec.2,2009.It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's
countdown.
     "If you're in Times Square, you'll see the full moon right above you.It's going to be that brilliant, " said

a month-a blue moon-occurs every 2.5 years.The last time there was a blue moon was in May 2007.
New Year's Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years.The last time was in 1990.
     Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg  Laughlin, an astronomer at the University
of California, Santa Cruz."' Blue moon' is just a name in the same sense as 'a hunter's moon'  or 'a
harvest moon', "  Laughlin said in  an email.
     The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for, Sky & Telescope magazine in
1946 misinterpreted (誤解) the Maine Farmer's Almanac (歷書) and labeled a blue moon as the
second full moon in a month.In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season
with four full moons, not the usual three.Though Sky & Telescope corrected the mistake decades later,
the definition caught_on.

Beijing - The public has responded with vigorous support for an NPC deputy’s proposal to extend the
Spring Festival holiday from three days to 10.
     More than 78 percent of about 27,600  respondents to a poll on www.people.com.cn <http://www.
21cnjy.com/> voted in favor of the idea of Li Jing, who is also the mayor of Meishan city in South-west
China's Sichuan province.  Li   said the lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions,
especially fog the nation's  220  million migrant workers.
     With hundreds of millions of people on the move during such a short time span,the holiday puts great
stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism,  he added. He suggested the ho1iday be
extended and cover the three adjacent (毗連的) weekends, which means  the public could take a total
of 16 days off and floating population could spend the Lantern Festival,which falls on the 15th day of the
lunar new year, with their families.
     People would  then have sufficient time to fully enjoy the  traditional  holiday with their families, Li said
during an interview with People's Daily Online on Friday.
     Most online voters agreed that extending the holiday  will ease the burden on public transport and
strengthen family ties. "The Spring Festival is an occasion for family reunions and should be longer than  
the  National  Day holiday," one responder said  in an online post.  "Every year,  I wish I could spend
more time at home for  the Spring Festival,  but I always have to go back to work. I hope the NPC will
approve this  proposal.
     " Another online comment read:   "Extending the Spring Festival holiday could prevent  the  annual  
transportation crush, which has in recent years resembled an exodus (出走) of fleeing refugees (難民)''.
     Most of the about 13 percent  who  opposed the idea citied difficulties readjusting to work after the
break. Some pointed out that office moral (士氣) was generally low during the first week after the holiday. "After thesix-day holiday, many people come back to work feeling absent-minded," one respondent said. Some who opposed the extension suggested adding the Lantern Festival as an official holiday.
     Another 10 percent said lawmakers should carefully study the impacts before they make any decisions
on holidays.

1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Li Jing suggested extending the Spring Festival holiday?
A. The floating population could spend the Lantern Festival.
B. People could spend more money and this could promote consumption.
C. The lunar new year festival holiday was too short for family reunions.
D. The holiday puts great stress on the public transport system and suppresses tourism
2. What was Li Jing's plan for the lunar new year festival holiday?
A. It could cover the two adjacent weekends.
B. The holiday would be from the first day of the lunar year.
C. He added the Lantern Festival as an independent official holiday.
D. The public could take a total of 16 days off including the Lantern Festival.
3. The underlined word "crush" in the sixth paragraph probably means “______” .
A. uncomfortable pressure caused by a great crowd of people
B. a drink made by pressing fruit and used as juice
C. a traffic accident resulting from traveling too fast
D. people's eagerness to go home to meet their families

     A good cell phone policy should be a required part of any company. It not only covers
liability (法律責任) issues, but also covers many other legal and financial challenges that
might cause you problems. For instance, there is an IRS guideline that requires company
cell phones to be used only for business purposes. Personal use of these devices is
considered as a taxable benefit, which can be considered as part of your income and
therefore must be included in the income to be declared for tax.
     Then how to make a good cell phone policy? Here are some tips for you to follow.
     Make sure there are provisions (條款) in your cell phone policy for business and personal
use. You must make it clear what is allowed and what is not. A good Cell phone policy should
clearly show your managers and employees the company-wide rules for cell phone usage. This
will avoid some managers making their own decisions.
     Employees should understand that cell phones are controlled not by them, but by a company
authorized (公司批準的) employee who is the only person authorized to order devices, assign
plans, manage devices and the like. This will prohibit employees from ordering whatever services
they want.
     Another mobile device issue is liability for damage (賠償責任). A good cell phone policy also
states responsibility for lost or damaged phones and how to report problems. This will prevent
confusion and help keep costs under control.
     Once you have a company cell phone policy in place, make sure you read and discuss it
thoroughly with all of your employees. Have them sign the policy to ensure that they understand
the information contained within. Be sure to provide employees with a copy of the policy. This
will help reduce your company's liability for any legal issue that may arise.
1. According to the IRS guideline, an employee will ______.
A. pay more tax if he doesn't use a company cell phone
B. pay more tax if he uses a company cell phone for business purposes
C. pay less tax if he uses a company cell phone for personal purposes
D. pay more tax if he uses a company cell phone for personal purposes
2. A company cell phone policy should ______.
A. allow some managers to make their own decisions
B. be discussed and signed by all the employees of the company
C. be provided for employees in copies to make sure they understand it
D. prohibit employees from ordering any kind of service they want
3. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Why a company needs a good cell phone policy?
B. How to make a good cell phone policy?
C. Reasonable rules are necessary in running companies.
D. Ways to make companies run well.

     TOKYO-At first glance, Japanese cellphones are the young's dream: ready for Internet
and email, they double as credit cards, and even bodyfat calculators (計算器). However,
despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan's cellphone makers have little
presence beyond the country's shores. "Japan is years ahead in any innovation. But it hasn't
been able to get business out of it," said Gerhard Fasol, president of the Tokyobased IT
consulting firm, Eurotechnology Japan.
     This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called iMode,
invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones can go global.
     Yet Japan's lack of global influence is all the more surprising because its cellphones set the
pace in almost every industry innovation: email capabilities in 1999, camera phones in 2000,
thirdgeneration networks in 2001, full music downloads in 2002, electronic payments in 2004
and digital TV in 2005. "The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person
out there will have a superadvanced phone," said Mr Natsuno. "So we're asking, can't Japan
build on that advantage?"
     Japan has 100 million users of advanced thirdgeneration smart phones, twice the number
used in the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a
PC, for Internet access.
     Indeed, Japanese makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate the age of
digital data. But Japanese cellphone makers were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a
standard for the secondgeneration network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan
quickly adopted a thirdgeneration standard in 2001.  However, it made Japanese phones too
advanced for most markets.
     At a recent meeting of Mr Natsuno's group, the discussion turned to the cellphones
themselves. Despite their advanced hardware, they often have ugly interfaces (界面), some
participants said.
     "Because each cellphone model is designed with a customized user interface, development
is timeconsuming and expensive," said Tetsuzo Matsumoto, senior executive vice president.
"Japan's phones are all 'handmade' from scratch," he said. "That's_reaching_the_limit."
1. The first paragraph intends to tell us that Japanese cellphones ________.
A. are popular with the young          
B. don't sell well abroad
C. can meet daily needs              
D. will go out of the country
2. Why were Japanese cellphone makers a little too clever?
A. Because their technical standards couldn't be accepted in overseas markets.
B. Because they didn't want to improve their products.
C. Because they used secondgeneration network earlier than others.
D. Because their phones couldn't be connected to PC.
3. What's the disadvantage of Japanese cellphones?
A. Their interfaces fall behind the fashion.
B. They are too expensive.
C. They are always out of order.
D. Their hardware can't keep up with the development.
4. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Japan's phones have too many functions.
B. Japan's phones can't continue their history any longer.
C. Japan's phones have been developed far enough.
D. Japan's phones have been out of state.
