Shanghai—Shanghai officials are welcoming a new national-water law that they say will help them protect the upper reaches of the Huangpu River and other water ways in Shanghai.

The new law, which came into effect yesterday, updates a law enacted（頒布） in 1988 that focused on supplying water to needy areas, but didn’t pay a great deal of attention to environmental protection.

The previous law, for example, gave local authorities power over waterways in these areas, but didn’t pay attention to the sources of those rivers and lakes. So, Shanghai was responsible for cleaning and protecting the lower reaches of the Chang Jiang River but had no say in how the river’s upper reaches, which feed into Shanghai, are maintained.

The new law will make it easier to control the amount of waste that ends up in local rivers and reduce inefficient use of waterways, said Zhang Jia-yi, director of the Shanghai Water Affairs Bureau, on the bureau’s website commenting on law yesterday.

Zhang said the new law focuses on the efficient use of water sources and emphasizes the harmonious development of China’s population, its economy and environment.

Zhang also emphasizes the city will crack down on companies and individuals that pollute the city’s water sources. The bureau sets up a special force to investigate(調(diào)查) water pollution in March.

So far this year, the bureau has published more than 3 million in fines on various polluters, Zhang said.

     C. A lot of polluting units have been fined this year.

Cloning is suggested as a means of bringing back a relative, usually a child, killed tragically. Some parents can understand that wish, but it must first be recognized that the copy would be a new baby and not the lost child. Here lies the difficulty, for the sad parents are seeking not a new baby but a return of the dead one. Since the original would be fondly remembered as having particular talents and interests, would not the parents expect the copy to be the same? It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to be placed in a family with such unnatural expectations?

Copying is also suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams. Couples might choose to have a copy of a film star, baseball player or scientist, depending on their interest. But because personality is only partly the result of genetic inheritance(遺傳), conflicts would be sure to arise if the cloned child failed to develop the same interests as the original. What if the copy of Einstein shows no interest in science? Or the baseball player turns to acting? Success also depends upon fortune. What if the child does not live up to the hopes and dreams of the parents simply because of bad luck?

Every child should be wanted for itself, as an individual. In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately（深思熟慮地） specifying(詳細(xì)說明) the way he or she wishes that child to develop. In recent years, particularly in the U.S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. So I suggest there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning.

40. What happens to parents in cloning a lost child?

   A. Parents expect too much from the copy.

   B. Parents may get a quite different copy.

   C. Parents are sure to have an identical copy.

   D. Parents lose the talents of the lost child.

41. What,  in  the  author’s  opinion,  affects  the success of parents’ dreams?

   A. The cloned child’s interest in Einstein.

   B. The cloned child’s natural talent.

   C. The cloned child’s personality.

   D. The efforts of the parents.

42. In the third paragraph, the author implies that ______.

   A. the cloned child is viewed as independent

   B. the right of growing in his own way is taken away from the cloned child

   C. parents carefully protect the rights of the cloned child

   D. parents are eager to wish the cloned child to be somebody.

43. In this passage, the author is mainly concerned about ______.            

   A. the future of a cloned child

   B. the possibility of cloning people

   C. the importance of cloning a lost child

   D. the problems of cloning life

Advantages and disadvantages of private cars

With the fantastic spur (刺激) both in industry and in economy in China, the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Some people have bought cars of their own, and others are planning to buy cars. But there have been two quite different views on this phenomenon.

    Some claim that there are many advantages brought about by cars. First, the automobile industry provides jobs for countless workers and strong support for other industries. Second, if conditions permit, owning a car can make us work more efficiently. Finally, life will become more convenient. A car allows one to move freely and with a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the cold or under the burning sun.

    However, others strongly object to the increase in developing private cars. They hold that automobiles will give rise to a series of problems. In the first place, as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people. Next, private cars contribute to traffic congestion (擁塞) so greatly that the advantages gained in comfort and freedom are often cancelled out by the frustration （挫折）caused by traffic jams. The last problem is the increasing number of car accidents that have killed and will kill a lot of people in a friction of a second.

    In my opinion, although automobiles have been playing a vital part in the daily activities of our society, they also bring us numerous troubles such as more serious environmental pollution,  more traffic accidents and more energy consumption. They drink up huge amounts of fuel and throw out huge amounts of pollutants. Traffic accidents kill thousands and thousands of people each year and cripple more. Jams waste our precious time. Therefore I am against developing private cars.

    Garbage is unwanted or unusable materials. As long as there are people on the planet，there will be garbage Garbage is directly linked to human development,both technologically and socially.The composition of waste has yared Over time and location，with industrlal development.Examples of this include plastics．Some garbage has economical value and can be recycled once correctly recovered.

    For most of us, "out of sight,out of mind": throw it away and it`s gone.But imagine what really happens to all the rubbish the world throws away.Now suddenly，the government is worried about mountains of garbage piling up with no place to put them all．

    China`s increasing prosperity and urbanlsm create tons of garbage since the 1980s，causing tons of trouble.The amount of paper,plastic and other garbage has increased more than three times in two decades to about 300 million tons a year．As busy families are shifting from fresh to packaged foods,more garbage is expected．

    There are also a huge number of people who go through the garbage to find anything that can be of value and recycled!The recycling is carried out every day when peope come to your house to take away your newspapers and cardboard，plastic and metal items.Every neighborhood has a garbage point.Take a train trip and there are recycling yards all along the tracks in every city. Food waste is collected by farmers to feed animals.

    Even though we make an effort to recycle our solid waste，the amount of waste keeps increasing each year．Our biggest problem is where to put the solid waste and how to keep it from polluting our environment.If the solid waste is disposed incorrectly,it can pollute earth`s surface an underground water supplies.Currently,Our municipal waste goes to landfills or garbage dumps.

The waste must be treated to keep rats，flies and other anlmas from building their homes in the landfills.The treatrment also prevents the growth of bacteria that carry diseases．

    The government knows such garbage disposal（處理）will always draw complaints．What they need to do is invest more money into bullding and maintaining better evelironment.

    A.garbage should all be thrown away

    B.garbage can all be recycled for its economical value

【2】 In fact, there's a well-established theory that moderate physical activity is, for most people, the best way to better health.

【4】 Adults should do a minimum of 30 minutes moderate-intensity physical activity, five days a week.

【5】You don't have to do the whole 30 minutes in one go. Your half-hour could be made up of three ten-minute bursts of activity spread through the day, if you prefer.

【6】The activity can be a 'lifestyle activity' (in other words, walking to the shops or taking the dog out) or structured exercise or sport, or a combination of these. But it does need to be of at least moderate intensity.
