       China will plan to make new rules to give more controls over the growing number of blogs and webcasts.

       Nowadays, advanced network technologies, such as Hogging and webcasting, are being improved to challenge the government’s ability to watch over the Internet.

       Chinese government was in the middle of making new rules over Internet publishing, and blogs and websites that publishing webcasts would fall under these rules.

       Government officials hope the new rules would ensure a more healthy and active Internet environment and would fully respect and protect Chinese citizens' freedom of speech. Specific details on what kind of rules would be carried out are still unknown to the public.

       Despite the growing popularity, bloggers and webcasters have been unpopular with publication institutions.

       In 2006, a series of cases involving bloggers who had dived into other people’s privacy and written materials ruining other’s fame urged the government to consider whether to require bloggers to use their real names when they login in.

       Webcasting without copyright and illegally “copying" products from copyrighted materials have also led government officials to consider starting a nationwide check of online video broadcasting, and allow only qualified websites to continue offering webcasts.

60．What can be the best title of the passage?

       A．The Increases of Blogs and Webcasts. 

       B．New Rules to Control Internet Publishing.

       C．Technologies Challenge the Government.

       D．The Popularity of Online Video Broadcasting.

61．Chinese government thinks current Internet environment is ______.

       A．quite healthy          B．less active             C． rather hopeful       D．less piloted

62．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

       A．Publication institutions are unhappy with bloggers and webcasters.

       B．All bloggers and webcasters like to dig out other people’s privacy.

       C．Webcasters are quite aware of the copyright issues while online.

       D．Copyrighted materials can only be offered to qualified websites.

      Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.

     In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to "spend" a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.

     Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.

     It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends (趨勢(shì)）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance ?

51. From the text we know that the author __________.

  A. believes that longer working hours is better

  C. says nothing certain about which pattern is better

   B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.

   C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.

  D. Americans are happier than Europeans.

55. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

  C. Work and Productivity.                 D. Work and Happiness.
