If you thought sports stars Yao Ming and Liu Xiang or Internet entrepreneurs Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei would automatically be on the list of the” Men of Our Time”,then you could be behind the times.
The surprise in the list of 10 men released by the All-China Women’s Federation yesterday is that it contains no celebrities- and the guiding factors seem to be care and sympathy for the opposite sex.
In fact,Liu and Yao,as well as actor Pu Cunxin—the image ambassador for China’s anti-HIV,AIDS campaign—appeared in a booklet given out at the contest’s launch ceremony in January.The federation wouldn’t say why they are not in the final list.
The winners,with an average age of 47.5,were selected by women officials and journalists of the nine women’s newspapers in China,whose standard was men promoting equality between the sexes.
Li Zhong hua, a 46-year—old air force officer who test-flies planes,said he thought he was chosen because” he takes good care of his family,and is a gentleman”.
”Gentlemen get more respect in our society.They should be like those in the movie Titanic,who let women and children lave first in life rafts。”he told China Daily.
Shi Hua shan,a 48-year-old policeman in Gui xi of Jiangxi Province,said that he became a”man in the eyes of women” because” women love stories of heroes saving beauties".
His team has rescued more than 180 women who were taken away by force and sold as wives in the mountain regions of Fujian Province.
Some other” Men of Our Time” are:
Lang Jinghe,67,gynecologist at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing,who has made breakthroughs in ovarian cancer;
Ma Li,33,official in Xuzhou of Jiangsu Province,whose shelter has helped 196 victims of domestic violence;Li Mingshull,43,lawyer in Beijing,who is active in campaigns against family violence;Liu Ri,51,a mine worker in Lu’an of Shanxi Province,who took care of his paralyzed
parents·in-law for 23 years with his wife.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Chinese star Yao Ming has retired. Yao made it official Wednesday, telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.
“I will formally end my career,’’ said Yao, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002. Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future,’’ Yao said. “I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture(断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. My past six months were a painful wait. I have been thinking about my future over and over. Today I am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire. But one door is closing and another one is opening.’’
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, with the possibility of becoming general manager. He already owns the club and wants to contribute more. “My playing career started with the club. I hope I can do something for it,’’ Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd. He thanked a lot of people — his family, former coaches, even players like Shaquille O’Neal — “for making me a better player.’’
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell(告别) conference Wednesday. Morey made the long trip from Houston. Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but “I would be sorry if I wasn’t here.” “It’s a big moment,’’ Morey added. “Yao had a sense of humor, a great attitude and sense of responsibility. I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.’’

Being seen in a fancy sports car or enjoying a beach holiday in a five-star hotel were once signs of having ‘‘made it”.
But a new study suggested that having people think of you as constantly busy and overworked is now a far better way to show social status.
According to Harvard University in the US, people are increasingly leaning toward the phenomenon of “humblebragging (谦虚自夸)”. This is when people make a seemingly modest statement that actually draws attention to something they want to brag (吹嘘) about.
Phrases such as “I have no life” and “I desperately need a holiday” are now used to imply social standing, while ordering food and shopping online is the perfect way to prove to neighbors that you are simply too busy and important to go to the supermarket.
“Movies, magazines, and popular TV shows often highlight (强调) the abundance (富足) of money and leisure time among the wealthy,” said Neeru Paharia, an assistant professor at Harvard University.
“In recent years, featuring wealthy people relaxing by the pool or on a yacht (游艇), playing tennis or skiing and hunting are being replaced with advertisements featuring busy individuals who work long hours and have very limited leisure time,” he said. “Displaying (how busy you are at work) and a lack of leisure time operates as a visible signal of status in the eyes of others.”
The researchers pointed out that the Wall Street Journal’s 2016 advert campaign featured celebrities (名人) complaining about their busy lives, with the slogan (标语). “People who don’t have time, make time to read the Wall Street Journal.”
The report, which was published in the Journal of Consumer Research, also found that brands that marketed themselves as timesaving were becoming increasingly high-status, because of the people who used them.
According to the authors, this trend of humblebragging is due to people’s shit of focus-they now value “the preciousness und scarcity (稀缺) of individuals" more than “the preciousness and scarcity of goods”.
“Busy individuals possess desirable characteristics, leading them to be viewed as scarce and in demand,” the authors concluded.
1.The main idea of this article is about ?
A. the trend of “humblebragging”.
B. characteristics of people who lead a busy life.
C. why people today are becoming increasingly busy.
D. why some people like to brag about their social status.
2.People today prefer to to display their social status
A. share their passion for tennis or skiing
B. show how fast-paced their work life is
C. tell people about the wonderful holidays they take
D. show off their abundance of money and leisure time
3.The Wall Street Journal’s 2016 advert campaign implies that .
A. busy people always have a better life than others
B. it’s important to read newspapers however busy you are
C. busy individuals should learn to manage their time better
D. a lack of time is a typical characteristic of people of high social status
4.From the article we can conclude that America people today .
A. all brag about themselives.
B. value individuals, the preciousness and scarcity
C. order food and shop online to show they are rich
D. work long hours and don’t have enough leisure time.

How to escape from a car in water
“If you get on your phone and call your parents or your sister, or 911, you will die,” says Robert May, a 21-year-old veteran(老兵) of the Indiana State. No one else will arrive in time: you have to save yourself.
Move quickly. Minivans(微型货车) might float for as long as10 minutes. 1. In a study from the University of Manitoba, three passengers were able to exist with a child mannequin(人体模型) through a single driver-side window in just 3 seconds.
Unbuckle(揭开)your seat belt, lower your window and climb out, ideally onto the roof of the vehicle. 2.Unfasten them from the backseat, pull them into the front and push them out of your window, oldest ones first. In May’s experience, electric car windows will continue to work after falling into water. 3.
Don’t open the door, water will flood in. Once full of water, the vehicle will sink fast. 4.Vehicle submersions (淹没) have one of the highest death rates of any type of single-motor-vehicle incidents, responsible for 400 deaths a year in North America.
After you get on top of your car, figure out if it makes sense to stay put or swim for dry ground. 5.Just get out first, May says.
A. From there, call for help
B. You will be then totally out of danger.
C. Research has been done to confirm this.
D. If there are children present, attend to them first.
E. In one study, a 65-passanger bus sank in nine seconds
F. Still, keep a small glass-breaking tool on your key ring, just in case
G. However, the chances of survival are highest if you get out in the first 60 seconds
