possible loss of job opportunities. now americans in the tourism industry issued the same cry on june 17 but this time, it was a welcome call to greet the first organized group of chinese tourists to the united states. u.s. tourism officials have high expectations that well-off chinese visitors, who are ready and willing to spend loads of yuan, will give a big help to their industry.“were very excited,” said helen n. marano, director of the office of travel and tourism industries under the u.s. department of commerce. before she talked to beijing review on june 17, marano and her colleagues had been waiting for more than two hours at washington dulles international airport to give a warm welcome to the first organized group of chinese tourists to visit the united states.the first group consisted of 250 tourists, who left from beijing, shanghai and guangdong on june 17, the day when newly appointed chinese vice premier wang qishan and u.s. treasury secretary henry paulson started the fourth round of the china-u.s. strategic economic dialogue (sed) in annapolis, maryland. each was backed by a big group of heavyweight ministerial officials.coincidence (巧合) could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day. as a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by chinese president hu jintao and u.s. president george w. bush in 2006, the first chinese tourist groups arrival in the united states was widely reported by the chinese media.at the previous sed meeting last december, chairman of the chinese national tourism administration shao qiwei and u.s. commerce secretary carlos gutierrez signed an agreement between china and the united states to advance tourist group travel from china to the united states. under this agreement, china agreed to give an “approved destination status” to the united states, allowing chinese travel agencies to market tourism to american destinations and permitting u.s. destinations to advertise directly to the chinese public.the agreement “is estimated to bring up to 100 million chinese travelers to the united states over the next 15 years,” paulson said.but what people in the u.s. tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie.“im getting calls already from people saying things like, how do we get to do this? and how do we attract chinese tourists to our area?” marano told beijing review. marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen.1. when, a few years ago, some americans shouted “the chinese are coming”, they _.a. were worried that the chinese language would take the place of englishb. were concerned that the number of the chinese tourists would be bigger than the locals c. wanted to warn that the u.s. economy would suffer heavy lossesd. feared that large numbers of chinese moving into the u.s. would make many americans jobless2. helen n. marano was excited because _.a. large numbers of chinese touring the u.s. would tip her and her colleaguesb. the chinese touring in the u.s. would help improve its industryc. the chinese are usually well organized when travellingd. wang qishan and henry paulson started the fourth round of the china-u.s. sed3. we can infer from the passage that _.a. chinese tourist agencies could organize groups of chinese to go to the u.s. without the agreement b. marano and her colleagues waited at the airport to see how well organized the chinese werec. many americans take a positive attitude toward chinese touristsd. about 100 million americans will travel to china in the next 15 years4. which of the following is the best title for this passage?a. the chinese are comingb. the fourth-round china-u.s. sedc. more chinese, more job opportunitiesd. how can we attract more chinese to our

health, researchers have found. the study included 124 volunteers who were purposely put into embarrassed social situations. those who showed greater neural (神经) sensitivity to social rejection also had greater increases in inflammatory (炎症) activity when exposed to social stress. “it turns out there are important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations,” lead author george slavich, at the cousins center for psychoneuroimmunology at the university of california, los angeles, said in a ucla news release. “for example,” he explained, “we sometimes see giving a speech in front of an audience as a welcomed challenge; other times, its threatening and sad. in this study, we sought to examine the neural bases for these differences in response and to understand how these differences relate to biological processes that can affect human health and well-being.”the findings provide “further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected. we have known for a long time that social stress can get under the skin to increase risk for disease, but its been unclear exactly how these effects occur. as we know, this study is the first to identify the neurocognitive (神经认知) pathways that might be involved in inflammatory responses to sharp social stress,” slavich said. increases in inflammatory activity are part of the immune systems natural response to potentially harmful situations, but “frequent or chronic (慢性的) activation of the system may increase the risk for a variety of
