Japan’s All Nippon Airways, which has asked passengers to visit the toilet before boarding to help the environment, said Tuesday it will fit its jets with a women-only lavatory（廁所）.

ANA will introduce one female-only toilet per aircraft on international flights next month after a survey of women fliers identified(確認(rèn)) it was the second most attractive service they wished for after being offered desserts. The rest of the toilets onboard will be for men and women as usual.

“We received many comments that having a women-only lavatory would be a factor in differentiating our airline from others,” said an NAN spokesman.

“Many women said that they feel uncomfortable taking their time in the lavatory knowing that a male is waiting just behind them in line,” he said. The spokesman denied that the new service was introduced following complaints about men soiling(弄臟) the bathrooms, telling reporters: “Those opinions may exist, but we do not have that data on hand”.

Since 2006 ANA has pursued (開(kāi)展) a one – month awareness campaign each year in which it asks fliers on 38 domestic flights and four international flights to visit the bathroom before boarding to reduce their body weight and therefore cut he plane’s carbon-dioxide emissions.

The airline is also planning to install “washlets” in it’s aircraft-electric toilet seats with water sprays for washing-a common sight in Japan and generally a source of amusement for first-time visitors and users.

The “washlets” will be installed in the Boeing777-300ER,due to begin operating in April, and the Boeing 787 fleet set to start flying this year.

　　CHANGCHUN, China-President Hu Jintao was the surprise guest in the last multi-sports Games to be hosted in the country before the 2008 Olympics with the opening ceremony of the 6th Asian Winter Games on Sunday．

　　Altogether, more than 1,100 athletes and officials from different countries and regions-including 160 from China and a single skier from Palestine-have registered to take part in the Games, which run until February 4．

　　“Today for the first time representatives of all 45 OCA members are with us which is a great achievement for the organizing committee．”said Olympic Council of Asia(OCA)chief Ahmad Al-Sabah．

　　China dominated the main Asian Games in Doha in December but their winter athletes, who have won just four of their country’s 114 Olympic gold medals, are unlikely to do the same．Unsurprisingly, the loudest cheers were reserved for the Chinese party but there were also warm welcomes for the Hong Kong, Macao and Chinese Taipei athletes．

　　Japan, which has entered 100 athletes, topped the medals table at the last Games on home soil．Their delegation also received plenty of applause despite being in city which served as the capital of the puppet state of Manchukuo after the Japanese army invaded China in the 1930s．

　　The North and South Korean athletes marched together under the same flag just as they did in Doha, although they will compete separately．South Korea were second in the medals table in 2003 and will need to continue their traditional dominance of the short-track speed skating to retain that position from the Chinese．

　　There has been a lack of snow at the Beidahu ski resort near Changchun, but organizers have used artificial(人造的)snow to make up the shortfall．

　　China will be banking on such stars as freestyle skier Han Xiaopeng, who surprised everyone at Turin in 2006 to win China’s first－ever Olympic skiing medal, and women’s 500-meter short track skating Olympic champion Wang Meng．

　　The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history．The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning．It registered 8．8 on the Richter scale．Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded．

　　The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n．The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning．

　　On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken．“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said．Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged．Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings．Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes．

　　Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way．Ten thousand members of the Chil-ean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts．Many of the country’s major gro-cery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas．Secretary-Gener-al of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone．He assured her that the United Nations“stands ready to assist the Chilean government’s rescue and recovery efforts ”．

　　The earthquake in Chile comes less than two months after the 7．0 magnitude earthquake that Haiti suf-fered in January．Although the earthquake in Chile was more powerful than the one in Haiti，the damage is unlikely to be as severe．Earthquakes are more common in Chile，and many buildings and homes there are constructed to withstand tremors better．Also，the area of Chile most affected by this earthquake is not asheavily populated as Port-au-Prince, where the epicenter of the Haitian quake was located．Furthermore, Chile is one of South America’s richest, best-organized countries．Its government has more supplies and people available to effectively respond to national emergencies．

　　The energy released by the quake caused shock waves to roll across the Pacific Ocean in the form of tsu-namis(海嘯)that have the potential to do great damage to coastal areas．Some of these waves struck the Chilean coast，causing major damage to seaside towns．Coastal communities in Russia，Japan，and the Unit-ed States were concerned，too，but there were no reports of severe damage from the waves that eventually reached the countries’shores．

(1)

Who is leading the earthquake relief efforts in Chile?

[　　]

A．

The Chilean government and military．

B．

Geologists and other scientists．

C．

The United Nations peacekeeping forces．

D．

Secretary-General of the United Nations．

Chile has constructed many buildings for the people．

Chile knows how to respond to a national emergency．

The epicenter area of the Chile earthquake is less heavily populated than that of the Haiti’s quake．

(3)

[　　]

A．

severe storms in Russia and Japan

B．

massive waves in the pacific Ocean

a lack of food supplies in coastal communities
