Here are four pieces of news from China Daily.
SHANGHAI-The Huachen Group, which has put 83 million yuan in the development of the e-commerce market since its official registration late last year, recently held a meeting in Shanghai to show the use of its newly opened tourism business payment network. The network aims to serve tourists from all over the world, but especially from Europe and the United States where credit cards are popularly used. After opening the www.chinaecnet.com website, netizens can get information about hotels and tourism services on tourism page. Hotels and services can be reserved and payments made through credit cards. The network opened in February in Beijing.
SYDNEY-The Sydney Olympic flame will travel underwater on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef during the torch relay following a successful test.
Scuba diver Wendy Craig, a marine biologist, will carry the torch on a three-to-four-minute underwater journey at Agincourt Reef on June 27, creating Olympic history, organizers said yesterday.
Burning at 2000 degrees, the torch is expected to remain alight three metres underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a ―fierce flame“ -too powerful to be drowned out by water.” Charles Tegner, managing director of torch creator, said the flame would burn like a flare from oxygen-producing chemicals.
BEIJING-The election of a new leader in Taiwan can not change the fact that Taiwan is a part of Chinese territory.“Taiwan Independence”in whatever form will never be allowed, according to a statesman of China’s central government. ―“We should listen to what the new leader in Taiwan says and watch what he does. We will observe where he will lead cross-Straits relations. We are willing to exchange views on cross-Straits relations and peaceful reunification with all parties, organizations and personages in Taiwan who favor the one China principle”, says the statesman, which was released by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee.
HAIKOU-Customs officers in Haikou, capital of South China’s Hainan Province, recently stopped a boat loaded with 781 cases of foreign-brand cigarettes being smuggled(走私)into China. The cigarettes are estimated to be worth more than 1.8 million yuan, said a customs discovered the smuggling boat as they were going around the northern sea area of Yangpu Port.
The smuggled cigarettes cases, packed into two containers, were disguised to avoid being examined. The boat was registered in the coastal city of Xiamen in East China’s Fujian Province. All eight suspects aboard the boat were kept by the police in Haikou.

22、阅读理解。
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power.
First, the radioactive (有放射性的) material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection (不赞成,反对) to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high.
【1】Which of the following is not true?
A.It is likely that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.
B.It is not usual for radioactive materials to be conveyed across land.
C.The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.
D.Nuclear wastes remain risky in most cases for many years.
【2】The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are __________.
A.easy B.impossible
C.reasonable D.ineffective
【3】What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The power station is a place that frees from danger.
B.The dangers of nuclear energy could be prevented.
C.The general public are opposed to the nuclear program.
D.By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to lead to much worry.
【4】What is this passage about?
A.Uses of nuclear power.
B.Dangers from nuclear power.
C.Public anger at nuclear power.
D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.
23、The past few years found me working long hours at my marketing job while my husband, Steven,put in equally fall days as a physics tutor.The weekends were spent photographing weddings and portraits.While we were able to save some money,we were both burned out from the constant tiring work.
We felt the need for both renewal and vacation experiences.So,in January,we set out on a seven-month,cross-country road trip to visit all 61 National Parks in the United States.
Steven was ready to dive headlong into the unknown,while I,someone who enjoys more planned fun,had to adapt.I was amazed at how easily I turned to be a more relaxed version who wasn't worried where to park or sleep.We both became so accustomed to sleeping in the van,despite the foreign sound outside,which we eventually let fade into white noise.
Over the course of our seven-month trip,several interruptions changed our route, including the government shutdown,which left the first 10 parks inaccessible. Another time,I fell ill and lost my voice right as we were heading to the Virgin Islands National Park.
Positively,while we've done photography professionally for years.this trip really helped us grow in our craft.From rapidly trying to shoot dolphins to lining up panoramic(全景的))shots,this trip was a photographer's dream.I never dared out into complete darkness to photograph nights capes,but the views of the Milky Way we managed to shoot were well worth it.
One of our big goals on this trip was to come away from each park with one spectacular image,something that pushed us both to become better artists in the process.That shared goal placed us on the same team:It brought us together,gave us more to talk about,and encouraged us to motivate each other along the way.
【1】Why did the couple take such a trip?
A.They were both out of work.
B.They needed some photos of parks.

B.The trip was nothing like her planned fun.

A.Bad sleep in the van.
B.The author's illness.
C.The change of route.
D.The government shutdown.
【4】What have the couple gained from the trip?
A.They've caught some dolphins.
B.They've became famous artists.
C.They've bettered their relationship.
D.They've got their professional photographer certificates.
