“Mainland couples who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined for breaking the family planning policy.” a senior official has warned. As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child, Zhang Feng, family planning department director of Guangdong Province, stressed that this violated China’s policies. “And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.” he said.
''It doesn't matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions; they have violated the country's policies and the province's regulations''.
He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second child in Hong Kong, but gave no details.
Zhang made his remarks when a Hong Kong newspaper carried a controversial notice claiming residents' medical services had been affected by the growing number of mainland women who arrive in the city to give birth and gain right of abode (居住) there.
According to statistics revealed by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010, but more than 41,000 or 47 percent, were to mainland couples, including a large number from Guangdong.
Hong Kong has limited the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in the city at 34,000 this year.
The issue also has caused calls for an amendment(修正) to Hong Kong's Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent right of abode.
''I support Hong Kong government's decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.'' Zhang said.
China introduced its family planning policy in 1979 to limit births in the world's most populous nation, although the rules have been relaxed in recent years.
1.Which of the following is true?
A. Zhang Feng is family planning department director of Guangdong Province.
B. Many government employees have been dismissed from their posts.
C. Those who give birth to a second child in Hong Kong will be fined.
D. It doesn’t matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland.

C. was for D. was dismissed
3.Zhang Feng said that______.
A. few families had been punished after having a second child in China
B. about 88,000 babies were born in Hong Kong in 2010
C. he agreed to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong
D. the residents' medical services in Hong Kong had been affected
4.From the passage we can infer______.
A. in 2010 most of the babies born in Hong Kong belonged to mainland couples
B. babies born to mainland women in Hong Kong can't get permanent right of abode now
C. the number of mainland women permitted to give birth in Hong Kong has been reduced
D. the family planning policy in China is as strict as before
5.Which is NOT the reason why some people want to give birth to a second child in Hong Kong?
A. They want to gain right of abode there for their babies.

Opened in September 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland is the second Disney Park in Asia. It experienced a difficult time upon its opening. The Park, as well as two themed hotels, was built on Lantau Island.
The Park opened to strong competition in the form of Ocean Park. Hong Kong Disneyland is one of only two parks in Hong Kong, which has become one of the world's leading cities in recent years. It kept Chinese cultural traditions in mind when they built the Park to avoid a cultural backlash (抵制). Designers added to the custom of Feng Shui.
Disney and Hong Kong announced the Park in 1999, and construction began in 2003. The Park had one of the shortest construction periods in Disney history. Disney actually announced that the opening of the Park would be brought forward, from 2006 to September 2005.
The Park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below the expected 5.6 million. There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark ride. Summer Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists. Autopia, Stitch Encounter and it's a Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more attractions at the Park.
The number of tourists dropped in 2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned a big expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its normal level. In July 2009, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed a three-land expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland, and in 2010, Toy Story Land opened.
These new attractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit (盈利) in 2013. In that year, over 7 million guests entered the Park.
With enough room for a second Park and the promise of more attractions to come, it seems that there is indeed a great beautiful tomorrow for Hong Kong Disneyland.
1.What do we know about Hong Kong Disneyland upon its opening?
A.It was the best Disney Park in Asia. B.It wasn't very successful at first.
C.It didn't face much competition. D.It was against Chinese culture.
2.Compared to most other Disney parks, Hong Kong Disneyland ________.
A.is much smaller in size B.has more customs to consider
C.had a longer preparation for opening D.had a shorter period of time for construction
3.What's the author's attitude toward the future of Hong Kong Disneyland?
A.Hopeful. B.Worried.
C.Uninterested. D.Doubtful.

A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 metres. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 metres away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed（展现） that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line. Researchers found that people readjust（调整） the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of the winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs (四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closed, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight.
It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure which contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin (旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.
1.The experiment held in Japan proved that _______.
A. none of the participants finished the 60 metres
B. all the participants had a good sense of direction
C. the experiment was done in different ways
D. the participants kept readjusting（调整） their direction of walking
2.The underlined word “subject” in Para. 1 refers to ________.
A. a person with a functional imbalance
B. the subject one studies at school
C. a person chosen to be studied in an experiment
D. the direction of walking
3.The purpose of writing the article is to ________.
A. prove that ears and eyes help us to walk straight
B. point out the importance of noticing everyday science
C. explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight line
D. give background information about a latest study

HONG KONG — Hong Kong Disneyland is too crowded, a senior Chinese tourism official said today, hinting that another Disney Park is necessary to accommodate demand from China’s huge population.
The comments by Shao Qiwei, director of China’s State Administration of Tourism, came a day after Shanghai’s mayor Han Zheng said the city was preparing to build China’s second Disney theme park.
“China has a very large population. We now have 1.3 billion people. The market is very large. As far as I know, Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded,” said Shao, whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV.
The Hong Kong theme park, which opened in September, was widely criticized in January when it turned away（不准…入内） hundreds of Lunar New Year holiday makers from mainland China because the park was full. Chaos(混乱) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park.
The embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Bill Ernest and a dressing down from Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang. Authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the Disney park in Shanghai, Shao said.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in Shanghai, quoting senior vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Leslie Goodman. Hong Kong Disneyland is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the park’s construction fees.
1.Why is it necessary to build a Disney park in Shanghai?
A. Hong Kong Disneyland is too small and very crowded.
B. Hong Kong Disneyland can’t meet the need of the large population.
C. Hong Kong Disney Park was criticized by tourists.

2.Hundreds of visitors from Mainland China got angry because ________.
A. the services in the park were not as good as expected

3.The building of a Disney park in Shanghai ________.
A. remains to be discussed with The Walt Disney Co.
B. is financed The Walt Disney Co.
C. will be in the charge of the Shanghai government
D. has been agreed to by The Walt Disney Co.

Almost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias (恐惧症） much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的）. It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence as they grow up.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scared cat”. Handling the fears is essential.
Children can be born nervous and if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, You’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “You shouldn’t force, for example, an anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke (抚摸） it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that’s good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for‘being brave’.”
1.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because ________ .
A. they will not develop into phobias B. their influence is psychological
C. they exist widely in the world D. they will disappear gradually
2.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will .
A. make the same old mistake B. overcome them by themselves
