South Korea has offered about 10,000 tons of corn to North Korea, in what would be the first official aid to its hungry neighbor for almost two years.The South also offered 20 tons of milk powder and medicine for children, pregnant women and other vulnerable people, its unification ministry said.The proposed shipmen would be through the Red Cross.It would be the first official one since a conservative government came to power in Seoul in February 2008.The South Korean administration of President Lee Myung-bak has linked major assistance to progress on denuclearisation.
However, after months of bitter hostility, the communist North began making peace overtures(提议,提案) to the South in recent months.Persistent media reports have also said the two sides have held preliminary talks about a possible summit.
The amount of food aid on offer is tiny relative to the needs in what the United Nations recently described as the famine-hit North.A third of North Korean women and young children are malnourished(营养不良的) and the country will run short of almost 1.8 million tons of food this year, the United Nations World Food Program said in a report last month.The unification ministry admitted it was far less than needed but said the North must mend relations before shipments could be increased.
"We cannot say 10,000 tons is sufficient in view of North Korea's food shortage and other conditions," said ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-Joo."We are providing purely humanitarian aid," she said.
"There is no change in our position that massive food aid depends on how relations between the two Koreas develop," she said.North Korea has yet to respond to the latest offer, made through the Red Cross.But Yonhap news agency said it was likely co-ordinated in advance before the announcement.
Last year the South offered 50,000 tons of corn, but the North rejected the shipment amid high tensions.
North Korea has relied on food aid from China, South Korea and aid agencies to feed millions of its people since a famine in the 1990s resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands.
1.How would North Korea be offered about 10,000 tons of corn from South Korea?
A.North Korea would buy corn from South Korea.
B.North Korea would exchange with South Korea.
C.The offer would be through the Red Sea..
D.The offer would be through an international organization
2.About whether South Korea would go on offering assistance, we can infer from the passage that________________.
A.they would go on without any condition
B.they would go on if there was a famine in North Korea
C.it depended on how their relation would develop
D.it depended on whether North Korea needed it
3.How did North Korea survive since a famine in the 1990s?
A.They depended on the international aid from all other countries
B.They developed their agriculture to increase the production
C.They expanded the agricultural land
D.They relied on food aid from China, South Korea and aid agencies
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. It’s about the aid to South Korea from North Korea
B.It tells about the help between South Korea and North Korea
C.It’s about the help to the Poor
D.It tells about an action of the Red Cross

Scientists from South Korea are trying to convert(转化)sound waves into electricity. The research could lead to charging a cell phone from a conversation or providing energy to the nation’s electricity system generated(产生)by the noise during rash-hour traffic.
“Just as speakers transform electrical signals into sound, the opposite process —turning sound into a source of electrical power — is possible,” said Young Jun Park and Sang-Woo Kim, the joint authors of a new article in the journal Advanced Materials.
Harvesting energy from phone calls and passing cars is based on materials known as piezoelectrics. When bent, piezoelectric materials turn that mechanical energy into electricity. Lots of materials are piezoelectric: cane sugar, quartz (石英)and even dried bone which could create an electrical charge when stressed. For decades, scientists have pumped electricity into piezoelectric materials for use in environmental sensors, speakers and other devices.
Over the past few years, however, scientists have made dramatic advances in getting electricity out of piezoelectric devices. In an experiment, by using sound waves, which at 100 decibels(分贝)were not quite as loud as a rock concert (a normal conversation is about 60-70 decibels), the South Korean scientists produced a mild electrical current of about 50 millivolts(毫伏). The average cell phone requires a few volts to function, several times the power this technology can currently produce.
“But the real question is whether there is enough surrounding noise to act as a power source as for a cell phone,” said McAlpine, a leading scientist. A consumer probably wouldn’t want to attend a rock concert or stand next to a passing train to charge his cell phone. The South Korean scientists agree but they expect to get a higher power output as they continue their work.
1.According to the two South Korean scientists, ________.
A.sound waves can travel faster than electricity
B.new materials can send cell phone signals better
C.using cell phones adds to heavy traffic in rush hour
D.electricity and sound can be transformed into each other
2.We know from the passage that piezoelectric materials ________.
A.can produce electricity when stressed
B.are good at changing electricity into sound
C.can reduce the noise of passing cars
D.have been widely used in phones and cars
3.It can be inferred from the South Korean scientists’ experiment that ________.
A.it is hard to change sound into electricity under current conditions
B.it is impossible to make use of loud sound
C.the technology has a long way to go to have a practical use
D.the technology can power cell phones easily
4.What McAlpine doubts about the technology is ________.
A.the noise pollution B.the sound resource
C.the cost of piezoelectrics D.the safety of devices

When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam,he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs.Kim.By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that,in Korea,wives keep their family names.President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk.Therefore,she should be addressed(称谓) as Mrs.Sohn.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears.His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans,some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names.This practice often puzzles(使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents.They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name.Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well.When a woman marries,she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de(of).This affects(影响) how they fill in forms in the United States.When requested to fill in a middle name,they generally write the father’s family name.But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother.This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations:don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name.Remember that in many Asian cultures,the order of first and last names is reversed(颠倒).Ask which name a person would prefer to use.If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it,and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
1.The story of Bill Clinton is used to ______.
A.improve US-Korean relations
B.introduce the topic of the text
C.describe his visit to Korea
D.tell us how to address a person
2.The word “gears” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A.action plans B.naming customs
C.travel maps D.thinking patterns
3.When a woman marries in Korea,she ______.
A.continues to use her family name
B.uses her husband’s given name
C.shares her husband’s family name
D.adds her husband’s given name to hers
4.To address a married woman properly,you’d better ______.
