One spring afternoon five years ago, Jimmy Liao was crying in the hall of Taipei’s Sherwood Hotel, Life seemed 36 . The people who laughed as they walked past were taking their 37
for granted, just as he 38 himself. Now, however, he felt 39 —and he couldn’t even show his disappointment in his 40 .
Seeking more personally satisfying 41 , he had just left a successful job as a commercial artist when it seemed that fate（命运）played a cruel 42 on him. It was at this time that he developed cancer and was 43 to work. But that moment in the hotel was a turning point for Jimmy. He began to 44 the fact that there is no such a thing as fate, only 45 . Since then, he has published several imaginative, illustrated（带插图的）books.
According to Jimmy, you are 46 you choose to be. You can give up or you can work to be a happier person. Jimmy realized that, while the world 47 seems unfair, your choice can change your life.
This idea can be 48 in Jimmy’s books, where his characters show the powerlessness they feel 49 making their choices. The message that goes with Jimmy’s drawings, however, is 50 .
Though the world may make us feel small, we must be 51 . Everything will be all right for us—as it is for the“small people”in Jimmy’s books—if we make choices that are 52 for us.

A
Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year, but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US, the government politely paid no．
“We don’t know whether the food is safe,” said Zambia’s commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel．
His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America’s genetically modified（GM，转基因的）crops．Just last week, EU（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．
Ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交） plants to make them stronger or better tasting．At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other．
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature．
This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A．But many people believe GM foods are a health risk．
“If left to me, I would certainly not eat GM foods,” said Scottish scientist Arpad Pusztai．“We are putting new things into food which haven’t been eaten before．The effects on the immune system（免疫系统） are not easy to predict．”
At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”．But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways．
Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies．Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．
1．We learn from the passage ．
A．people have discovered that GM foods will do harm to human health
B．millions of Zambia people die of eating too much GM foods
C．people are still not sure if GM foods will do harm to human health
D．genetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later
2．What does “in two minds” in the third paragraph mean?
A．Unsure B．Worried C．Likely D．Careless
3．The following statements is NOT true about GM foods?
A．It is produced from plants added genes from other species．
B．GM foods can have special characteristics．
C．GM foods will affect people’s immune system．
D．GM foods have been produced since 1970s．
4．What’s the author’s attitude?
A．Supportive． B．Neutral． C．Doubtful． D．Critical．
B
More Shanghai people are renting cars to travel over the coming Spring Festival, eastday．com reported today．
Most cars in large local car-rental companies such as Yongda, Anji and Dazhong are leased(=rented) so far with the Buick Sport Utility Vehicle（SUV）in high demand．
Santana and Jetta used to be the most popular car models rented by Shanghai people for travel, while the high-end Buick models have generated(=caused)great interest among locals renting cars this year．However, the rent on a Buick GL or GS model is between 650 yuan and 750 yuan a day, nearly double those of the Santana and Jetta cars．
Compared with Santana, Buick looks better, has greater capabilities and is safer and more comfortable, said a car leaser．“I’ don’t mind paying a higher cost for a Buick to enjoy the traditional holiday,” he said．
SUV cars are very popular in the car renting market, according to some car-rental firms．
“All the 31 Buick GL8 SUV cars were leased out several days ago,” said an employee with the Shanghai Yongda Car Rental Company．
Local people prefer to go traveling with a group of friends, so SUV cars are a better choice, said an industry analyst（分析家）．Moreover, SUV cars are safer on rugged and rough roads, the analyst said．
According to the data（数据）, most people rented cars of seven days, a lesser number rented them for two or three days．
(Wendy Zhang)
5．The cars mentioned in the passage fall into three major brands（品牌）, which are ．
A．Yongda, Anji and Dazhong B．Buick, Santana and Jetta

A．able to run faster B．able to seat more passengers
C．more powerful D．more valuable

A．The cars of the 31 Buick GL8 SUV model． B．The 31 cars of the GL8 or SUV model of Buick．
C．The 31 cars of the Buick or GL8 SUV model．D．The 31 cars of the GL8 SUV model of Buick．

A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto．The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto．This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop．”
Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need．
Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in children’s growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character．

New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research, could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1 000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission (使命) across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets of Rome.
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
