global cultures makes human beings cultural life interesting.mo told a reception in the chinese embassy in stockholm that it was a responsibility to protect the diversity in cultures while creating the diversity as well.he said that translation played a very important role in bridging different cultures, adding that without the translators who had translated his books he couldnt have won the nobel prize.i think translation is much harder than writing itself, said mo yan, explaining that it only took 43 days to write the work life and death are wearing me out, while it took swedish sinologist anna gustafsson chen six years to translate the work.earlier in the day he visited a swedish middle school, where about 20 swedish students who were studying chinese welcomed him by singing the theme song in the movie red sorghum which was based on his novel of the same name.unlike the rough and husky voice in the movie, the swedish students presented the song with a gentle and soft voice, making it rather a romantic song, mo told the gathering at the chinese embassy.he said he hoped that there were going to be some outstanding translators among the students, adding that meeting them made him extraordinarily happy.he said language was going to be the most reliable way for interaction between peoples because one had to know the language of a nation to understand the peoples inner world and spiritual life.lan lijun, chinese ambassador to sweden, said that chinese literature had stepped into the spotlight worldwide after mo yan had won the nobel prize, which would help contribute to the literature communication and dialogue between china and the rest of the world.people in sweden and other parts of the world were all welcome to know more about chinese culture, he added.there were about 130 people attending the reception, including per westerberg, speaker of the swedish parliament.56. what, in mo yans opinion, contributes most to his winning the 2012 nobel prize for literature？a. diversity in global culturesb. the theme song in the movie red sorghumc. 130 people attending the reception, per westerberg includedd. translation57. the underlined word in paragraph 3 means _.a. to establish a bridge acrossb. to reduce or get rid of the difference between two thingsc. to cross over on a bridge d. a kind of card games58. mo yan wrote all of the following novels except _.a. life and death are wearing me out(生死疲劳)b. red sorghum(红高粱)c. teahoused. sandalwood death (檀香刑)btargeting teensusing the web makes teens a target. posting too much personal information for those millions of cyber eyes to see can cause some big problems and can even invite a threat to your life.as mary learned, not everyone on the internet is who he or she says they are. adults will sometimes pose as other teens, posting fake photos and nice messages to gain trust. they use their fake identity to access the personal information of others, such as home address, phone number, or school name.“thats not the most common scenario(一系列可能发生事件),” says david finkelhor, a sociology professor at the university of new hampshire. “only 3 percent of teens aged 10 to 18 who use the internet report being asked to meet offline. but the danger is real.”safety measuresmarys myspace profile is set to “private”, which means that only the people she adds under the “friend” category can access her page. she also doesnt have any pictures of herself on her site. the only self-identifying material she has posted is her name, grade, and a list of hobbies.stay safe and have fun onlineexperts say almost 90 percent of u.s. teens are online. but not everyone knows how to surf the web in a smart way. with these tips, you can have fun, stay safe, and avoid embarrassment!pick a safe password. make sure your password is something that other people wont be able to guess.pick a safe username. make sure yours doesnt say too much about you, “happy girl 13” is better than “alice waters 13”. dont include your name, age, or where you are from. never tell a stranger your name, school, address, age, birthday, phone number, or friends name.59.the underlined word “invite” in the first paragraph has the same meaning as_. a. demand politely b. requirec. cause d. wish60. in marys opinion, _.a. one shouldnt trust everyone onlineb. one shouldnt trust anyone onlinec. there are many liars online d. all people online pretend to be others61. one of the safety measures mentioned in the passage is that _.a. one should not chat with strangers b. one should not post his or her photos onlinec. one should tell his parents about strange informationd. one should keep his information as a secret.62. why are numbers in letters used when we pick a safe password? a. numbers are easy to writeb. using numbers are cool onlinec. the safe password is more unlikely to be guessed d. numbers are popular online cat times we all get angry when we are driving. it might be because we are stuck in a traffic jam or stuck behind a very slow driver. it might be because we think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. whatever the reason, it seems that getting angry in a car is something which happens more and more often and there is now a special term for it - “road rage”. some experts even think that road rage is a kind of mental illness! how can we recognize this “illness” of road rage?there are two kinds of road rage: aggressive driving and aggressive reactions to the way other people are driving. aggressive driving can take different forms:driving much faster than the speed limit.increasing your speed very quickly.driving very close behind the car in front and sounding the horn or flashing the headlights.changing lanes very suddenly and blocking another car.moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park.there are also different reactions to the way other people are driving. these include.making rude signs at people.shouting at people and threatening them.deliberately driving into another persons car.hitting somebody.using a weapon such as a baseball bat, or even a gun or a knife.road rage is certainly not a joke. there have been incidents of road rage which have led to serious injuries and even murder.experts think that one reason for road rage is that films show a lot of examples of fast and aggressive driving such as car chases where this kind of driving seems to be positive.experts also think that the punishments for dangerous driving are not serious enough.experience shows that driving problems can be controlled, but it takes a long time. in the uk in the last 30 years, the police have been quite successful in reducing the number of people who drink and drive. they are now working to stop people using mobile phones when they are driving. lets hope they can have the same success with the road rage.63. why do people get angry when driving? a. they are stuck in a traffic jam. b. they are stuck behind a very slow driverc. they think another driver has done something very stupid and dangerous. d. all of the above64. which of the following statements does not describe aggressive driving? a. drinking and driving b. changing lanes very suddenly and blocking another car. c. moving into a parking space where another car is trying to park. d. driving much faster than the speed limit.65. road rage happens possibly because_. a. the drivers are drunk b. the punishments are not serious enough c. were in a fast-changing societyd. it wont cause serious injuries or death66. whats the tone of the last paragraph?a. sad b. cold c. optimistic d. excitingdfat and shy, ben saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “football, tennis, cricket- anything with a round ball, i was useless,” he says now with a laugh. but back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in devonshire, england.it was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. at first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. gradually, saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. at the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.the following year he met john ridgway and was hired as an instructor at ridgways school of adventure in scotland, where he learnt about ridgways cold-water exploits. greatly interested, saunders read all he could about north pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.in 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the north pole. it took unbelievable energy. he suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky ice.saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the north pole, and hes skied more of the north pole by himself
