As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced peoples actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.39.

Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.My daughter Marys fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate（评价） your childs work at home. Dont always scold and you should give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasnt done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.

All share the queens birth dateApril 21, 1926. The queen has laid on a three-course meal for 70 women and 29 men.“It has always been a standing joke in the family that Ive never been invited to the queens birthday party. I never think it would actually come true,” said Betty Kay of Doncaster in northern England, one of the invited guests. Prospective banquet guests were nominated(提名) by themselves or relatives, and each guest represents a part of the country. Edna Richards of Wolverhampton said she was a firm supporter of the monarchy(君主立宪制), and admired the queen for keeping a busy schedule. “I think she is a surprising person. I dont know how she does it all. Being the same age I know how she must feel,” Richards said. Among the excitement surrounding the birthday celebrations, the queens cousin, Margaret Rhodes, said that she is “perfectly sure” the queen will never abdicate(退位) the throne(王位). “Its not like a normal job; its a job for life,” she said. Buckingham Palace said Rhodes remarks reflected the longtime position of the queen and there was no change in her decision to give up retirement. “These are the questions that are asked around these big events,” said a Buckingham palace spokeswoman. “There is no question of the queen abdicating. She will carry on as normal.”47. 99 guests were chosen to the queens birthday party because _.A. there were only 99 persons in the country who shared the queens birth dateB. they represented all parts of the countryC. the number 99 was a lucky numberD. it implied the queen would live forever48.

Queen turned 80, and so did her guestsESuch chronic(慢性的) diseases as heart disease, stroke, cancer and lung disorders are the leading cause of death in the world. Yet health experts say these conditions are often the most preventable.The World Health Organization (WHO) points out chronic diseases lead to about 17 million early deaths each year. The United Nations (UN) agency expects more than 380 million people to die of chronic diseases by 2015. About 80% of the deaths will happen in developing nations. Chronic diseases now cause two-thirds of all deaths in the Asia-Pacific area. In ten years it could be almost three-fourths. People are getting sick in their most economically productive years. In fact, chronic diseases are killing more middle-aged people in poorer countries than in wealthier ones. The WHO estimates(估计) that chronic diseases will cost China alone more than 500,000 million dollars in the next ten years. That estimate represents the costs of medical treatment and lost productivity. Russia and India are also expected to face huge economic losses. According to a WHO report on the problem, deaths from chronic diseases have increased largely as the result of economic gains in many countries. Infectious and parasitic(寄生的) diseases have until recently been the main killers in Asia and the Pacificthey are no longer the major cause of death in most countries. As many as 80% of deaths from chronic diseases could be prevented, health officials say. An important tool for governments is to limit the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programs are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity. The UN aims to reduce chronic-disease deaths by 2% each year by international action through 2015, thats to say, 36 million lives could be saved, including 25 million in Asia and the Pacific.51.
