President Xi Jinping announced Thursday that China will cut its military by 300,000 troops, a significant reduction in one of the largest militaries in the world and a move that the Chinese leader called a gesture of peace.
“The great renewal of the Chinese nation requires efforts of one generation after another,” Xi said in a speech at Tiananmen Square remembering the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific. “Having created an impressive civilization of over 5,000 years, the Chinese civilization will lead to an even brighter future,” he said.
Xi’s announcement came as China staged a massive military parade in central Beijing, sending a stream of troops, tanks, and ballistic missiles(弹道) down a major east-west street as fighter jets flew overhead with multicolored smoke.
Xi’s speech kicked off the parade. An estimated 12,000 troops—about 1,000 of whom hailed (致敬) from Belarus, Cuba, Tajikistan, and other countries-marched along the 10-lane Chang’an Avenue from the commercial center wangfujing to Tiannmen Square, about 1.5 miles away. They were joined by 200 fighter jets and 500 pieces of military hardware, including tanks and ballistic missiles. Representatives from 49 countries were in attendance, including Russian leader Vladimir Putin, South Korean President Park Geun-hye and U. N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Rory Medcalf, head of the national security college at Australian National University, said the Beijing may have decided to cut 300,000 troops “in the name of efficiency and cost saving.”
Xi conducted a “troop inspection” after his speech, riding down Chan’gan Avenue in a Chinese-made Hongqi parade car. On Thursday morning, China’s popular microblogging site Sina Weibo filled up with 350 million comments related to the parade. While many users expressed their love of their country and pride, few posts were filled with criticism. “The soldiers are too serious,” wrote one user. Others complained about the cloud of gray exhaust that followed a column of tanks.
1.Why did China make the military reduction?
A. For the efficiency and cost saving.
B. For the peace of the whole the world.
C. For the celebration of the end of World War II.
D. For the renewal of the Chinese civilization.
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A. The majority of web users think highly of the parade.
B. Many web users thought that the soldiers were lovely.
C. The parade might bring air pollution to the capital city.
D. The parade led to a heated discussion on the line.
3.What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. China decided to cut its military forces.
B. World leaders attended China’s military parade.
C. China sowed its weapons to the world.
D. China held a military parade in Beijing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed Wednesday that the socialist path China has followed is "correct," and it is the choice of the “history and people.”
Citing(引用) the remarkable achievements China has made over the past 37 years when it initiated the reform and opening-up policy, Xi noted that it only took several decades for China to complete the journey the developed countries have gone through for centuries.
“That fully shows that the Chinese people are following a correct path,” the president said while addressing a banquet hosted by Lord Mayor of the City of London Alan Yarrow on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, he pledged that China will stay committed to a peaceful development path and does not accept the logic that a country will seek hegemony(霸权，领导权) once it gets strong.
“No one and nothing — in any reason — can influence China’s determination and will to pursue the path of peaceful development,” he said.
In his speech, the president also explained in detail about the development of friendly relations between China and Britain, citing tea culture, literature, movies, TV dramas, football and cultural exchanges.
He specifically referred to Shakespeare’s influence on him by sharing the story of his youth time in the countryside, when he was deeply attracted by the master’s works.
“The China-Britain friendship has been deeply rooted in the hearts of our two peoples. And there is a solid foundation in public opinion and in society for the two countries to grow long-term relations,” he added.

Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director general, is expected to announce on Thursday that the BBC will quit its entire west London home -- possibly selling the land to Chelsea football club -- as part of main plans that will see more staff moved out of the capital to Salford and elsewhere．
The move is at the heart of the BBC’s long-awaiting cost-cutting strategy（策略）which will see nearly 2,000 more jobs going at the public broadcaster, and some original programming，such as daytime shows on BBC2, eliminated to save money．
Several thousand people are employed at the west London sites，including Thompson himself and the bosses of all the BBC’s television channels．The employees are expected to be relocated（重新安排）to Broadcasting House in central London, Salford, or elsewhere．
The BBC has been broadcasting at various locations in the Shepherd’s Bush area since moving into Lime Grove in 1949．It then switched to the Television Centre in 1960，and more modern offices at nearby White City．But it is now open to selling the site, and the broadcaster has had talks about attracting Premier League clubs Chelsea or Queen’s Park Rangers as buyers．Both clubs are looking for new homes．
Earlier leaks（透露）suggest that the BBC will seek to cut spending on sports where the corporation has already decided to share coverage of Formula 1 with Sky TV -- and imports，such as Mad Men and The Killing．BBC4 is expected to focus on “arts and archive（档案）”, but Thompson has long ruled out closing any channels or radio stations．BBC1 and Radio 4 will be protected，but there are expected to be some cuts to local radio programs, which will see stations share shows outside breakfast and drive-time hours．
The corporation is already committed to remove TV Centre by 2015, but because parts of the building are listed, the football clubs have expressed an interest in the BBC’s White City offices instead，which could be knocked down. The White City building is where Thompson and the broadcaster's commercial division, BBC Worldwide, are based．
BBC sources say the 2,500 job losses being proposed（提议）include the 650 cuts to the World Service already announced, with up to l,000 coming from BBC News．It is understood that some staff who have only just made the move to Salford could see their jobs at risk. Salford is now home to Radio5 Live, children’s programs such as Blue Peter, and sports output including Match of the Day．
1.Why is the BBC planning to quit its west London home?
A. The BBC wants to earn more money．
B. The BBC would like to support British football sport．
C. The BBC is planning to save money for new programs．
D. The BBC has to cut down its cost．

A. Some original programmes will be adjusted．
B. All the BBC staff will have to work outside London．
C. More people will be employed for new programs．
D. Some TV channels or radio stations will be closed．
