Ladji Doucoure of France beat Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China in the final meters to claim the title of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the 10th world championships in Helsinki on Friday.
Doucoure, who led the world this season with 12.97 seconds, over took the Chinese to win the race in 13.07 seconds. Liu was second in 13.08. Four-time world champion Allen Johnson of the United States took the third in 13.10.
The 22-year-old Doucoure said after the race, “ I can not tell you just how long I have been dreaming of this. This victory is the result of a lot of hard work, and also a lot of support from people who have believed in me. I had a bad start, touched a few hurdles, but after the 4th hurdle I picked up my race and went straight to the finish line.”
Liu, who won the Olympic gold with a world record-tying time of 12.91 seconds, said, “I’m very satisfied with the second place. The result could have been worse. I felt quite well and did my best. I’ m not tired, I had some clearance problems at the start, so I should practice that some mor. Finally, I didn’t lose by much, only by a little bit, but I did think I could win it.”
Liu’s coach, Sun Haiping said on Friday he was content with Liu’s performance.
“ Liu Xiang was quite good during his reaction period, but he was a little bit slow in the middle and he finally caught up during the last two hurdles,” Sun told Xinhua.
Although satisfied with the silver medal and the clocking of 13.08 seconds, Sun said Liu might have added the world title to the Olympic championship if Liu had run the track neighboring his major rivals(對手) of Doucoure Ladji or Allen Johnson.
“ If he had run next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson, Liu could have kept pace with them and then sprinted(疾跑) at the last stage. In this case, he could grab the gold,” said Sun, who had become a household name for coaching China’s first men’s Olympic champion in the track.

Has Tiger Mom gone soft? One year after the release of her book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," Amy Chua is back in the spotlight, reflecting on how overnight infamy(惡名)affected her life, her family and her parenting.
"I've changed a lot," she told The Huffington Post. "In October, we had 30 kids at our house! We've hosted parties with lots of food and music."
Last January, the Wall Street Journal published an excerpt(節(jié)選)from Chua's book with the headline "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior." In the excerpt, Chua described how her daughters were never allowed to have sleepovers(在外過夜的兒童聚會), appear in school plays, earn any grade lower than an A . Chua, an author and professor at Yale Law School, spent much of 2011 on the defensive. In fact, many of her interviews seemed to lend fuel to her critics' fire.
Now, with the book out in paperback(簡裝),she said, "I put passages in the book and used very harsh words that I regret. Everybody has those moments you wish you could take back." Many of the scenes she described in the book are a far cry from the child-raising methods she advocates.
For those who still read "Battle Hymn" as an advice guide, Chua argues that so-called tiger parenting should be employed mainly during a child's early years, ideally between the ages of 5 and 12. These "super-strict parenting methods" are not meant for all ages. Remaining strict after middle school makes you a helicopter parent, according to Chua. And she is quick to point out how different that is from being a tiger mom.
"By the time kids get to high school, helicopter parents are hiring all these tutors, carrying their kids' sports bags. I never checked older daughter Sophia's papers because I knew she knew how to sit down and focus," Chua said.
As for younger daughter Lulu, 15, the rebel for whom the book waswritten, Chua has really backed off. Instead of forcing Lulu to practice violin for hours a day -- the source of their biggest fights, Chua "let her give that up". "My compromise is that I'm going to still be as strict academically, but in exchange she has a lot of social freedom. Lulu has had four sleepovers in the last two months!" Chua said. "Chua predicts she'll only get more easygoing with age.
小題1:From Paragraph 1 we can know that after the publication of the book_____.
A.Tiger Mom became stricter with her children
B.Tiger Mom was thought highly by the public
C.Tiger Mom’s life and family were influenced
D.Tiger Mom became wealthy and easygoing
小題2:What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Tiger Mom has changed and wants to be soft.
B.Tiger Mom persuaded readers to follow her example.
C.How Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother came out.
D.How Tiger Mom became the worldwide spotlight.
小題3:What does the underlined phrase “a far cry from” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.similar toB.just the same asC.very different fromD.a(chǎn) cry far from
小題4:What is the writer’s attitude towards Tiger Mom?
A.supportiveB.opposedC.unconcernedD.objective

It’s really a tough job for automakers doing marketing and sales in China, where competition is acute and customers have little loyalty. They have tried a range of tricks in recent years.
But there should be a moral bottom line. Unfortunately, a Buick dealership used the tragedy of a two-month-old infant to advertise its cars last week on Weibo – Micro blog. And Hyundai Motor followed suit.
On March 4, an SUV was stolen with the infant left inside alone in the northeastern city of Changchun. The news spread widely on Weibo after the baby’s father called the local police and radio station for help. The next day it was revealed that the infant was choked to death and buried in snow by the thief. The online community expressed its deeply felt sympathy and condolences.
The Buick dealership posted a photo of the baby and two of its cars on its official Weibo account to advertise its GPS system that can locate the stolen car. “A few thoughts on the Changchun stolen car and baby incident: when buying a car it’s entirely OK to choose a brand with advanced technology,” said the post. Though the post was made before tragic fate of the infant was known, the action generated a storm of outrage on Weibo. Some online commentators said it is “marketing at the cost of lives” and “extremely despicable.”
Worse was the post on Hyundai’s official Weibo account that advertised the anti – theft system on its new SUV Santa Fe, an entry made after the child was known to have died. The action also enraged micro bloggers.
Both posts were soon deleted. The Buick dealership made an apology on Weibo to the family of the victim and the public. But screenshots saved by users continued to be posted and the negative impact on both brands persists.
The two brands probably didn’t expect such a firestorm of fury from the Internet community, but they really made a big mistake sinking below the moral bottom line. They certainly ruined their own brand images.
The Chinese have the same proverb as the English language – a little leak will sink a great ship. It takes decades to build the great ship of a respectable brand but it can take just a moment of negligence to make it fail completely.
For those in corporate marketing, two lessons should be learned: first, be careful in the era of social media when one wrong can be easily magnified and have disastrous impacts in just a few clicks.
Second and more importantly, think with your brain and heart. Never break the moral bonds of respect for human life and sympathy for our fellow man.
小題1:Who is to blame for the tragedy of Changchun infant according to the passage?
A.The baby’s fatherB.Buick and Hyundai dealership
C.WeiboD.Not clear
小題2:Which of the following statements is correct?
A.The missing infant was found alive in the stolen car.
B.Micro blog marketing of tragic infant death fuels firestorm of criticism.
C.People can’t see the two posts any more because they were deleted.
D.The two car brands mentioned in the passage spoiled their own reputation by selling the stolen car.
小題3:What does the underlined word – “despicable” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.ImmoralB.ImportantC.DistinguishedD.Considerable
小題4:The reason why Hyundai’s post was worse than Buick’s is that _________.
A.Hyundai dealership didn’t make an apology on Weibo
B.Buick dealership expressed its deeply sympathy and condolences
C.Hyundai’s post was made after people knew the infant had died
D.Buick’s car was more advanced on its GPS system
小題5:In the last paragraph, the author encourages people _____________.
A.not to sink below the moral bottom line
B.not to sympathize our fellow man
C.to think twice before making decision
D.to magnify the mistakes people make

NEW YORK (AP) — The investigation into the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz has gone through decades and countries, from basements to rooftops and seemingly everywhere in between.
No one has ever been charged criminally — and the little boy with sandy brown hair and a toothy grin was declared dead in 2001.
This week, the six-year-old boy who went missing from the Soho area of New York City in 1979 is back in the news. Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.
The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.
A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.
The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. Shirley Brady noted: “As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).” Another wrote, “Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.” One wondered, “Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?”
Good question. This is a case that Stuart Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.
The case led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.
The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥褻者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.
New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.
The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.
Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police. 
小題1:We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ________.
A.The 6-year-old missing boy was found by the side of a milk box
B.Police and the FBI have not been following the case of Etan Patz for 33 years
C.The investigation into the disappearance of boy has worked fruitlessly for decades
D.Etan Patz went missing from the Soho area of New York city in 1979 and died in 2001
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “weigh in on the case” mean?
A.ignore the case B.feel stressed on the case
C.reopen the case D.begin to discuss the case
小題3:What was a possible cause of reopening the case of Etan Patz?
A.Local lawyers strongly demanded the reopening of the case.
B.The Associated Press reported the result of the review of the case.
C.New evidence appeared which led officials to the basement of a building.
D.Local people realized the importance of the case without criminal being charged.
小題4:Which of the following statements is true in the text?
A.The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25, 1979.
B.The search for human remains will be carried out at 127 B Prince Street.
C.The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’ babysitter.
D.Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him $1 before the disappearance.
小題5:We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.People air the same view about the case on the Internet
B.People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boy
C.The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on people
D.Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person cases

In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.
Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.
The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.
Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.
小題1:Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because ________.
A.they hope their children may easily find a job there
B.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countries
C.a(chǎn)ll foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countries
D.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends
小題2:“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids ________.
A.without parentsB.living abroad alone
C.with university educationD.speaking no English
小題3:Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents ________.
A.want to leave their own countryB.want them to go to university
C.return to their countries to workD.want them to be independent
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Parents want better education for their kids.
B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.
C.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.
D.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.
