With his standard Mandarin pronunciation, practiced skills on Chinese expressions and special humour with a Beijing accent, Dashan has become a household name across China.
People have always wondered how the 36-year-old Canadian can be so skillful in the Chinese language even though it is considered by many as one of the most difficult languages in the world．But to Dashan, the great challenge was a piece of cake due to his deep interest, proper method and the excellent environment he created for himself.
“Interest is the best teacher.” That is a universal principle. Even if the 20-year-old Mark Rowswell--Dashan's real name--hadn't fully realized what attracted him to the Chinese department at the University of Toronto in Canada, he was already deeply interested in Chinese culture when he decided to have further study in Beijing.
Entering the Chinese department of Peking University in 1988, Dashan felt like a duck in water. Study is always a hard job, no matter how much interest you have. Therefore, effective ways are necessary to improvement. “Learn for life and learn in life” is Dashan's belief.
As a freshman at the University of Toronto, the student did study the textbooks, which especially aimed on foreign Chinese learners. They did help him build a solid foundation.
However, that's far from enough to grasp the Chinese language. Starting in his junior year, Dashan began to read original Chinese novels, Chinese newspapers and even the selected works of Deng Xiaoping. “Only the material for Chinese native readers could give me a proper sense of the language,” he said.
The language that is the daily means of communication is the principle that Dashan always keeps in his mind．What you have really learned depends on what you can use, not necessarily your mastery of textbooks.
To learn in daily life requires a favorable language environment, which is also necessary for improvement. Dashan admits it is hard for Chinese English learners to be brought into a good English speaking environment, but insists, “to listen and speak as much as possible does help.”
To help Chinese English learners develop a favourable environment, Dashan took part in a VCD programme--“Travel with Dashan”-- to teach daily and up-to-date English in real-life situations.
(1)Dashan could learn Chinese very well because of ________.
[ ]
A．his interest
B．practiced skills on Chinese expression
C．his special method
D．special humour with a Beijing accent
(2)The sentence “l(fā)earn for life and learn in life” here means ________.
[ ]
A．learn things in our daily life, otherwise it will not last long
B．we should study in practice all our lives
C．life is difficult, so we'd better learn more to lead a better life
D．langnage is the necessary part of our daily life, so we must practice it frequently
(3)The main idea of the passage is ________.
[ ]
A．Dashan has become a household name across China
B．how can we master a foreign language in a short time
C．Dashan took part in a VCD programme “Travel with Dashan” to teach
English in real-life situation
D．try to learn English under the direction of Dashan, and you'll succeed one day
(4)The underlined phrase “a piece of cake” here refers to ________.
[ ]
(5)Dashan read the selected works of Deng Xiaoping because ________.
[ ]
A．he admired the former leader of the government
B．he hoped to learn more of the spirits of it
C．he wanted to give him a proper sense of the Chinese language
D．they are very popular in modem times

“This is 4 human being. A clone is alive, it walks, it breathes,” said Jamie Grifo, 5 on the study of cloning at New York University School of Medicine.

Such research could lead to treatment for 7 such as heart diseases, AIDS and even cancer, 8 scientists.
Despite high hopes from other scientists, the news raised concerns immediately from religious and political leaders. Several 9 in the US do not allow human cloning. President George W.

D
Holding a cell phone against your ear or storing it in your pocket may be dangerous to your health. This explains a warning that cell phone manufacturers include in the small print that is often ignored when a new phone is purchased. Apple, for example, doesn’t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1.5 centimeters; Research In Motion, BlackBerry’s manufacturer, recommends 2.5 centimeters.
If health issues arise from cell phone use, the possible effects are huge. Voice calls - Americans chat on cell phones 2.26 trillion(萬億)minutes annually - earn $109 billion for the wireless carriers.
Devra Davis, an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh, has published a book about cell phone radiation, “Disconnect.” The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled.
Brain cancer is a concern that Ms. Davis examines. Over all, there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived. But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20-to-29 age group and a drop for the older population.
“Most cancers have multiple causes,” she says, but she points to laboratory research that suggests low-energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer.
Children are more vulnerable to radiation than adults, Ms. Davis and other scientists point out. Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid（易吸收的液體）. No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children, she says.
Henry Lai, a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington, began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains.
Ms. Davis recommends using wired headsets or the phone’s speaker. Children should text rather than call, she said, and pregnant women should keep phones away from the abdomen（腹部）.
【小題1】Why is the warning in the small print?
| A．They think people will not care about it. |
| B．There is not enough space for the warning. |
| C．They don’t want the users to pay attention to it. |
| D．The warning is not important at all. |
| A．a(chǎn)cceptable | B．valuable | C．a(chǎn)ccessible | D．easily affected |
| A．Pregnant women should keep cell phones away. |
| B．People should use cell phones in the correct way. |
| C．If you are a child, you’d better text than make phone calls. |
| D．When you use a cell phone, use a wired headset or the phone’s speaker. |
| A．Be careful when using cell phones. |
| B．Don’t hold your cell phone against your ear. |
| C．Rats exposed to radiation have damaged DNA in their brains. |
| D．Low-energy radiation could damage cells that could lead to cancer. |

According to statistics（統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)）in China,more than one million school-age children are
unable to go to school because of economic problems．In October 1989,the China Foundation for the Development of Children and Youth appealed to the country and the world to raise money for the education of children in poverty-stricken areas．Since children are the future of the country,this project is called “The Hope Project”．
