Premier Wen Jiabao and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong agreed to jointly develop an environmentally friendly city in northeastern China. The city will be a model for sustainable development, a Singapore government statement said. The "Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city" will be developed by a joint venture formed by Chinese and Singapore companies. "This eco-city, to be built in Tianjin, will become another highlight in our relations," Wen said after signing an agreement with Lee, who agreed, "On the Singapore side, on all levels, we"ll give this project our full support."The two sides will share expertise and experiences in urban planning, environmental protection, resources conservation, recycling, use of renewable resources and wastewater re-use. China"s economic planning agency issued a set of guidelines earlier this month welcoming foreign investment in environmentally friendly areas such as recycling, "clean" industries and environmental protection.Bilateral relations between China and Singapore have seen big progress even though the two countries established diplomatic ties only 17 years ago, Wen said during his talks with Lee. China and Singapore have also kept close contact and coordination on regional issues, he added. Wen said China and Singapore are both important Asian countries that share common interests in many areas. Title: Wen"s visit to Singapore

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour"s flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metal. "Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible, "Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. "From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word:" Uranium None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers of looking down below the earth"s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground, using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing. This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Waston Bar Greek, a brook(小溪)six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Colunbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children"s safety on the roads. Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school. The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school"s headmaster. Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than ￡ 20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
1. What is the aim of the plan?
A．To prevent the students" road accidents. B．To relieve the traffic pressure. C．To save time for the parents and students. D．To help the parents save money.
2．How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost?
A．By letting the bus run in the morning only. B．By limiting the number of the students. C．By obtaining the support from the headmaster. D．By linking the new bus service with the existing one.
3．Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out?
A．The bus company will make much more money. B．The children can choose whatever school they like. C．The parents can get rid of their worries. D．The students in Impington School can have free bus rides.
4．This passage is most probably___________.
A．a personal letter B．an advertisement C．a headmaster"s report D．a newspaper article
