For those who long ago lost interest in the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala, some new online offerings might be pleasant alternative. They started appearing 2002 and could have a phenomental (非凡的)presence this year. The online versions keep the essence of the CCTV one, but replace the less popular parts. To draw viewers, there is no shortage of big name stars. Some A-list performers, including singers XuWei, SunNan and crosstalk performers, can be found here. The interesting part, however, is the host of the celebrities who have risen to fame online, from Xidan Metro Girl (西单女孩)to Sister Lotus (芙蓉姐姐), for example. The anchors are the Back Dormitory Boys(后舍男生), a Chinese group who gained fame for lip-synch(假唱) songs by the Backstreet Boys and other pop stars. What’s more significant is that it’s unprecedented in its interactivity. “In online Spring Festival galas, I can vote for an earlier broadcast of programs that I like,” said Yu Ting, 23, a Peking University student. “I can also just click for my applause, and can even throw “tomatoes” or “rotten eggs” at those acts I really don’t like. I’m like the master of ceremonies or virtual producer of my own gala.” Obviously, this has put an extra burden on the performers, who have to worry about being dropped by the audience at any time. However, it means original fun for netizens who like to “direct” their own entertaining bits. No matter what you taste, the online Spring Festival galas offer multiple choices for the holiday. Everyone gets to enjoy whatever he or she likes. 64.What is the meaning of the underlined word? A. the worst parts B. the best parts C. the less popular parts D. the original parts 65.what is true about the Back Dormitory Boys? A. It’s a pop group good at crosstalk. B. It’s a pop group made up of six handsome boys. C. They often sing songs by the Westlife. D. they sing their songs in a special way. 66.From the passage, we can learn about the online Spring Festival Galas that . A. They started appearing in 1983. B. People often take tomatoes and rotten eggs with them when watching C. People can’t give their support in any way. D. People enjoy the feeling of being the master of the galas. 67. You can find the passage in a _____________. A. newspaper B. guidebook C. storybook D. catalog |

Women’s education may be all unusual field for economists(经济学家), but increasing women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives(鼓励),provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剥夺) an education. Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prophecy(预言) becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in avicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect. An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle. Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advant-ages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning. Topic: The significance of female ______76_____ in developing countries

You cannot go back down, so you are 35 to become solution minded. I held on for dear life that day, on my first climb, 36 about three quarters of the way to the top.

For people looking for a(n) 48 to be a failure, there are always plenty to choose from.
