information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

A surprising case of exploitation (剥削) of the poor has surfaced in India

after the authorities cracked down on a gang of “blood-suckers” who stole

blood from helpless victim locked in a smelly basement. “Five people have

been arrested in connection with this ring which may have been connected to

local hospitals and a local university,” announced the head of police, who

also added that some of the victims had been imprisoned by the gang for nearly

three years.

Acting on a tip-off, the police attacked a house in Gorakhpur. There they

found 17 persons who were described as having been “reduced to skeletons”.

They were too weak to stand and had to be brought to the hospital in

stretchers.

Pappu Yadav, the supposed gang leader, managed to escape the authorities,

together with three gang members. A reward has been announced for his capture

and the government has announced that it will use every available resource

to hunt him down. Meanwhile, the police are piercing together the operation

of the gang. The five arrested, who had experience working as lab technicians,

told investigators that they had attracted poor laborers with offers of

profitable jobs. Once the poor people agreed, the gang forced them to take

blood tests. Initially, they were paid 1,500 rupees to donate blood on a

frequent basis. Then, as they got weaker and weaker, the gang drew blood from

them daily.

Each of the five arrested has been charged with illeagal imprisonment

and attempted murder, facing up to 14 years in jail. Locals have blamed the

state of the nation’s economy and the disparity(分配) between the rich and

the poor for this incident. Even though India’s economy has seen rapid growth

Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth

Introduction

Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become

more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid

to the need to direct such opportunities to living on the street or in

difficult circumstances. Over the past nine years, Street Kids International

(S.K.I.) has been working with partner organisations in Africa, Latin America

and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of

this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K.I. and our partner

organizations have learned.

Background

Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but

to a combination of factors: a lack of adequately funded schools, the demand

for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as

a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where

some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative

employment, urban crime.

Street Business Partnerships

S.K.I. has worked with partner organisations in Latin America, Africa

and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn

income.

 The S.K.I. Bicycle Courler Service first started in the Sudan.

Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they

used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for

it gradually from their wages.

 The Youth Skills Enterprise initiative in Zambia is a joint program with

the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own

small business through business training, life skills training and access

to credit.

Lessons learned

The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and

partner organisations have created.

It is critical for all loans to be linked to training programs that include

the development of basic business and life skills.

Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as

bicycles, shoe shining kits.

All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the

business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money.

Generally the rates have been modest.

Conclusion

There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor

young people seeking to fulfill

Disappointed with delays in Sacramento (the capital of California), Bay

Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their own hands

to regulate the region’s growing piles of electronic waste.

A San Jose council woman and a San Francisco supervisor said they would

propose new local plans aimed at controlling electronic waste if the

California law-making body fails to act on two bills delayed in the Assembly.

They are among a growing number of California cities and countries that have

expressed the same intention

Environmentalists and local governments are increasingly concerned

about the danger caused by old electronic devices and the cost of safely

recycling those products. An estimated 6 million televisions and computers

are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to 7,000 computerss

become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels of lead (铅) and

other dangerous substances, and are already banned from California

landfills.

A bill by Senator (参议员) Byron Sher would require consumers to pay a

recycling fee of up to $30 on every new machine containing a cathode ray tube.

Used in almost all video monitors and televisons, those devices contain four

to eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recycling

programs, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes and

rewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.

A sepearate bill by Los Angeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require

high-tech manufacturers to develop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.

If passed, the measures would put California at the forefront of national

efforts to manage the refuse of the electronic age.

But high-tech groups, including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group

and the American Electronics Association, oppose the measures, arguing that

fees of up to $30 will drive consumers to online, out-of-state shops.

“What really needs to occur is consumer education. Most consumers are

unaware they’re not supposed to throw computers in the dust bin,” said

Roxanne Gould, vice president of government relations for the electronics

association.

Computer recycling should be a local effort and part of residential waste

collection programs, she added. Recycling electronic waste is a dangerous

and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain the state must

support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contracted to junk

dealers who send the poisonous parts overseas.

“The graveyard of the high-tech revolution is ending up in rural

China,” said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition.

His group is pushing for some refinement to Sher’s bill that would prevent

the export of e-waste.

72. How would Bay Area officials deal with the problem of e-waste?

get enough support to pass the delayed bills.

persuade the lawmakers of the California Assembly.

C. To make relevant local regulations by themselves.

D. To put pressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.

73. What do the two bills delayed in the California Assembly both concern?

reprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state.

regulations on dumping dangerous substances into landfills.

funding of local initiatives to reuse waste electronic devices.

sales of the second-hand electronic devices to foreign countries.

74. High-tech groups believe that if an extra fee is charged on every TV or

computer purchased in California, consumers will _________________.

te to upgrade their computers n online shopping

ly protest against such a charge them from other states

75. We learn from the passage that much of California’s electronic waste

has been ____________.

into local landfills ed to foreign countries

ted by non-profit agencies ed by computer manufacturers

Section C

Directions: Reading the following text and choose the most suitable heading

from A-F for each paragragh. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. What you think usually becomes what you dream.

B. There are different methods to fulfill your dreams.

C. You may get solutions and become what you dream

D. Dreams are your window to the mental computer.

E. Pushing your goals deeper into subconscious helps you succeed

F. Being positive and changing mental programming lead to success

If you are interested in personal development you have probably heard

Brian Tracy’s words, “You are what you think about most of the time”. It

is true, by thinking about something enough you push it into your subconscious,

your mental computer that works 24 hours a day.

76.________________

When you dream your conscious turns off, giving you a view of what is

going on in your subconscious. 

You most important work will be done when you

sleep. Your mind will be working without your conscious getting in the way.

It will be solving problems you don’t even know you have and present you

with solutions.

77.________________

Your dreams mirror your thoughts. It is your subconscious.
By pushing a

message into your subconscious it will be a part of your dreams. But to get

something into your subconscious takes effort. You need to think about it

constantly, write it down, visualize it, repeat it to yourself and almost

become obsessed by it.

78.________________

Once you have pushed your thoughts into your subconscious you will start

dreaming about will then start to see changes in the world

around you and before long you will become what you have dreamed

shorter time then you can imagine you can do extra ordinary things.

If you

have read “Think and Grow Rich” By Napoleon Hill, he shares this advice

in his book and shows examples of how some of the most successful men and

women have changed their lives and gone from rags to riches in just a short

time.

79._________________

Most of us have a speical skill to think about more about the negative,

but the danger of this is that you will be pushing this into your subconscious,

making your mental computer work on solutions to give you even more

you are to succeed you have to change your mental programming. In addition,

you have to become a more positive person, focusing on the good and on

solutions.

80._________________

Keep repeating positive messages to yourself throughout the day. If you

want to rekindle the romance in a relationship it can be enough to repeat

to yourself day in and day out “I love my wife or partner”.

This will push

it into your subconscious and your will start finding solutions to make it

reality. In addition, when you have your goals in writing it becomes easier

to think about them. You can spend time reading them every day. You can write

down plans, think about ideas and so on. All this will push your goals deeper

into your subconscious and help you speed up your success.

Section D

Directions: Read the passage caerfully. Then answer the questions or complete

the statements in the fewest possible words.

In West Africa in 1900, a British governor’s demand that an Ashanti tribe

give up a golden stool started a small war. The governor, believing the stool

to be a throne(宝座), thought that possessing it would establish his

authority over the tribe.

The stool, however, was no mere throne; it was a sacred relic (圣物) that

contained the spirit of the tribe. It was so sacred that even the Ashanti

chief would not sit upon it. Rather than give up the stool, the tribe hid

it. British soldiers were ordered in, and many people were killed. However,

this war and its tragic consequences could have been avoidable.

The science of anthropology, the study of people, how they live and their

customs and beliefs, began in the mid 1800s. At that time, anthropologists

believed that human culture developed from lower to higher forms of society

and technology. However, by the time of the governor’s stupid mistake, those

early beliefs had given way to the study and documentation of differences

between cultures. Had the governor consulted an anthropologist, he would have

had a much better chance of understanding the real meaning of the stool, and

many lives could have been saved.

Modern anthropologists study every level of society. One of their main

goals is to uncover common patterns of human behavior. To avoid mistakes like

that made by the unfortunate British governor, people rountinely seek the

advice of anthropologists.

For example, the Peace Corps send volunteers around the world to help

people in unindustrialized countries learn how to improve their lives. This

was a noble idea. Yet in the early years of the Peace Corps, most volunteers

were inexperienced, and few bothered to learn the language of their assigned

country prior to their arrival there. Today, thanks to anthropology, the

Peace Corps has changed. Its volunteers are more experienced. They have some

basic language training, and they have learned how to understand and show

respect for the customs and beliefs of other nations.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE

WORDS.)

81. Why did the British governor what the golden stool?
