To all of you at Chinese love links,
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream
about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to
spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did
not know what to expect. I don"t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to
an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a
couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the
same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via emails 2-3
times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I
found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry
and to bring her to the USA under the fianc?e visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to
find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we
both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if
you"re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest
with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other
side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding
your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links
to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur |

My bookshelves are full of dust-and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my
home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).
The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I
place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and
wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the
wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. "Remember me? I was given to
you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship," one whispers.
Another says, "I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry." And
a third, "I was the book that made history so attractive to you."
Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises - or better said,
reunions-that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the
shelf: "Tales of Edgar Allan Poe." Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it
very special: "With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965." What"s this? A book on the physics
of lasers().It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,
not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn"t understand a bit of it, but I did learn what "laser"
meant.
What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal
history. It"s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning
of the simplest life forms. The books I"ve read-and kept-are not just old friends. They are my résumé ? |
| 1.What could be said about the author? |
A. He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.
B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.
D. He is a lover of science books. |
| 2. By saying that his books have voices, the author means . |
A. hey bring back happy memories
B. they are recorded in human voice
C. they say a lot about human history
D. they offer good topics for discussion |
| 3.What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books? |
A. Finding some missing books.
B. Putting books in good order.
C. Learning something new from the books.
D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books. |
| 4. The underlined word "résumé" in the last paragraph probably means __________. |
A. personal history
B. precious notes
C. good companion
D. imply life forms |

Do"s and Don"ts in Whale (鲸) Watching
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone
Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that
vessel (船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.
Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.
Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.
Keep noise levels down-no horns, whistles or racing of engines.
Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.
Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.
Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.
Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.
When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between
the whales and the shore.
Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to
200 metres of whales.
If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one"s intelligence. But
people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so-called "non-intelligence factors" include 1 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits.
After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists (心理学家) 2 that the
main cause of disparities (不同) in intelligence is not intelligence 3 , but non-intelligence factors
including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
4 people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits,
quite a number of teachers and parents don"t pay much attention to 5 these factors. Some parents
are greatly worried 6 their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition (营养不良), or laziness, but they never take 7 consideration these non-intelligence
factors . At the same time, some teachers don"t inquire into these, such as reasons 8 students do
poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 9 criticize or laugh at them. After all,
these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 10 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray (迷途) because they are sick of learning. 11 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 12 of learning,
because of examinations. 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative (主动) and consciousness (知觉)
and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning.
It is clear 13 the lack of cultivation (培养) of non-intelligence factors has been a main 14 to
intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and 15 development among a few students. If we don"t start now to 16 the cultivation of
non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 17 of teenagers , but also affect
the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward 18 about how to cultivate students" non-intelligence factors. First, parents and teachers should 19 understand teenage psychology. On
this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, 20 their interests and toughening
their willpower. |

I"ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous
(有魅力的) doing it. Smoking was an integral (必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I
was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I"d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking,
partying, rock "n" roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person"s right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent
problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the
murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with
God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive
but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some
difficulty understanding me.
I haven"t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I
believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.
Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I"ve ever learned about my own
eakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy (同感) for those still addicted.
I don"t think smoking is every person"s right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin
(海洛因). I"m no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I"m desperate to see my four boys
grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words
and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can
smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the
shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood"s. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse (彻底
清洁) me. I don"t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting
it upon millions of others. |

A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer"s smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children

B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
