Hi, everyone,

It’s nice to see all of you here,                                                                                                                       

Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English ) . The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008 .

A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace （Chang’an Street ）, for example , advised : “To Take Notice of Safe ; The Slippery are Very Crafty ,”a warning that the sidewalk was slippery . Another sign in a Beijing park reads : “Little grass is smiling slightly , please walk on sidewalk “.

Li Honghai , the city official in charge of the battle , said : “Linguistic perfection (語言美)is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city .”

However , not everyone shares the disdain （蔑視）of the Beijing government for the mixed language . “The choice of words is pretty much . One can either choose the verbs ,adverbs , nouns or whatever one likes ,” explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website .

So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases . Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat―curiously named Posh Sailboat―which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play .”

If the battle against Chinglish is successful , Chinese will also turn their attention to the English―language versions of newspapers , which play an even more important role in teaching right English.

I asked Jackie a lot of questions. I asked if she became close to her patients. She said, “Some I do, especially if I have become their close friends and they tell me things they wouldn’t tell anyone else. I’ve found it harder for the patient’s family to accept what’s happening. In most cases, the dying person has accepted the truth.”

I asked her how she could do this work for so long. She said, “I have taken care of 3,000people over 37years. I consider dying to be a very important part of life. I feel good because I can make these people’s journey easier.”

Jackie was the mother I have never had. My own mother, Helen, was taken away from me right after I was born. I never knew her. And I had a strange relationship with my father. He was a Sunday father. Since my sister and I lived in foster homes, he came to visit only on Sundays.                                

But at the hospice(臨終安養(yǎng)院), nurse Jackie gave me hope, love and encouragement. She listened to all my stories, and I listened to hers. It was a comfort. The nurses had told my family that death was coming near. As time went on, I became the star patient at the hospice, because I didn’t go according to plans. My kidneys started working again and could function without dialysis(透析). It was a mystery to my doctors. My friends said It was a miracle. But I knew what actually cured me.

The employees showed me off to other patients and being the ham I was, I enjoyed.

   A.   She can have a trip with the patient.

   C.   She can reduce patients’ pain during their last days

   D. She can arrange a journey for the patients before they die

   A. he wants parents to love their own children

   B.Jackie cares for him more than his parents do

   D.he had a very unhappy childhood

64. The underlined word “miracle” in the fourth paragraph means something that is        .

    Depression(抑郁癥)is a serious problem today．Depression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars．One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread，costly and deadly”．Depression hits one person in five around the world．

    Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．

    Suicide(自殺)rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large, and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping，getting upon time，and doing work productively．

    Depression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因)，brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently．

    Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese's inability to face it．Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides，there is no good treatment，with few specialists available．

    “Most patients in China just don't get help，”a Chinese doctor says．“In my hospital．I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning，just have time to say “Hello how do you feel？”

    In Western countries，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them．

    “In my experience，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most secure about themselves，”an American doctor says．

    Hopefully，in the near future，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment．

58. Which of the following is true according to the passage？

  A. It is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depression．

  B. Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work

  C. Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries．

  D. The poorer and the less educated a person is，the less he will suffer from depression．

59. Compared to normal people，the depressed people are likely to be．

  A.very unconfident and often absent-minded

  B. easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks

  C. working efficiently and productively

  D. either weak or lazy

60. Depression becomes more serious in China because of．

  A. the understanding of the problem

  B. the lack of treatment and doctors

  C. their unwillingness to tell it to their boss

  D. the doctors' careless work

61. What can we infer from the passage?

  A. People are suffering from depression because of the shortage of specialists．

  B. The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed．

  C. More and more patients will turn to specialists for help．

 D. Western people are braver than Chinese people.
