Section One

The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher (哲學(xué)家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁語的) word “civitas”(meaning “city” ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.

Section Two

The emblem, showing the image of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world.

Section Three

Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.

The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice.

Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!”

1. Section One mainly tells us about ______.

       A. the part cities play in human civilization     B. the development of the word “city”

       C. why the Expo is held in Shanghai              D. where human civilization originated

WASHINGTON (AP) — A chemical has caused a global food safety scare. In the U.S., White Rabbit candies from China were recalled(召回) after melamine(三聚氰胺) was found in California and Connecticut. Melamine levels in imported Chinese candies recalled in California were as high as 520 parts per million, about 200 times greater than the level set on Friday by the FDA (The Food and Drug Administration) for "acceptable" risk.

And Friday, a New Jersey company announced it was recalling a yogurt-type drink from China, Blue Cat Flavor Drink, after FDA testing found melamine.

No illnesses have been reported in the U.S., but experts are checking for any increase in reports of heath problems.

The FDA says baby formula(配方) sold here is safe, because producers do not use any materials from China. But officials expect more melamine recalls as they continue to test products in ethnic(少數(shù)民族) markets.

“However, tiny amounts of melamine, are not harmful in most foods, except baby formula,” said U.S. government experts Friday.

The FDA said Friday its safety experts had concluded that eating a minuscule amount of melamine — 2.5 parts per million — would not raise health problems, even if a person ate food every day that was infected with the chemical.

“It would be like if you had a million grains of sand and they were all white, and you had two or three that were black, that's kind of the level,” said Stephen Sundlof, director of the FDA’s food safety program.

The FDA guideline is meant to help federal and state investigators(調(diào)查員) check for infected foods from China at ports(港口) of entry and in Asian community shops around the country. “We are trying to recognize products that have levels we are really concerned(worried) about, rather than trying to find the last molecule,” said Sundlof.

67. The underlined word “minuscule” in Paragraph 6 means __________.

A. very small      B. acceptable      C. worried      D. large

68. According to FDA, people in America needn’t be worried if _________.

A. food is infected with melamine below a level of 2.5 parts per million

B. baby formula contains no melamine

C. they buy candies for babies produced locally

D. foods imported from China are recalled

69. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. America won’t import foods from China any more

B. America is still importing foods from China

C. manufactures do not use any ingredients from China for baby formula

D. all foods imported from China contain melamine

70. The passage is probably found in _________ section on the Internet.

A. News Reports            B. International Trade

C. Science and Life          D. Food and Health
