H5N1 avian influenza, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asia and was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland but. 13 of the country's 31 provinces. autonomous regions, and municipalities have reported the disease in poultry.
The Chinese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5km vaccinated（进行接种疫苗）．Meanwhile, there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country，and increased production of bird flu vaccines.
Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flu in animals, only Viet Nam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry. While the World Health Organization said there is “no proof of human-to-human transmission” of bird flu.
The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus（病毒）to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly increases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.
A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to completely change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here are some safety measures for people to stay healthy：
＊Keep fit and well through regular exercise;
＊Avoid infected poultry and infected people;
＊Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;
＊Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;
＊Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;
＊ Wash your hands frequently.
56. What does the underlined word "poultry" mean?
A. Wild birds.
B. Wild animals.
C. Home-raised birds.
D. Home-raised animals.
57. From the passage, we can learn that _____.
A. infected poultry within 3km was killed in China
B. bird flu case was confirmed in China on Jan. 27
C. human infected cases were found in 11 Asian countries
D. over two thirds of China have been affected by the bird flu
58. What fears people most?
A. Poultry will infect many people.
B. The disease can spread quickly among people
C. There will be human-to-human transmission.
D. A new disease combining bird and a human flu will break out.
59. One of the right ways for us to avoid bird flu is ______.
A. to kill all the poultry
B. to eat no more chicken
C. to form a healthy habit
D. to keep separated from others
60. Which must be wrong for the Asians to change their lifestyle?

The Hong Kong Medical Association（HKMA) Council discussed in a meeting the problem of using mobile phones while driving. The following points were recorded:
1. There is now objective scientific information, most recently from Toronto, showing that the risk of bringing about traffic accidents rises fourfold if a mobile phone is used while driving.
2. Hands-off models of mobile phones are no safer than hands-on models.
3. Switzerland, Israel, Brazil and some states in Australia now have laws banning the use of telephones while driving motor vehicles（车辆）．The Council also recorded that mobile phones serve a special socio-economic function in Hong Kong, such as operation of goods vans and taxis, and forbidding their use by law immediately may disrupt（扰乱）important aspects of our socio-economic life.
We doubt whether the low figure of 1-3 traffic accidents per year locally occurring while a motorist was using a mobile phone, as offered by the Secretary for Economic Services Mr. Stetpen Pritt, was systematically collected
The HKMA Council strongly advised that:
1. Drivers of all motor vehicles in Hong Kong should stop their vehicles in safe places when they wish to use their mobile phones.
2. The government should seriously consider adding an additional charge of driving without due care and heavier punishments on drivers connecting with traffic accidents while using mobile phones.
3. Statistics on mobile-phone-included traffic accidents should be collected systematically without delay. If necessary, the police may be empowered to cross-check with phone companies whether the driver's phone was in use at the time of a traffic accident.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The importance of objective scientific information.
B. Using mobile phones while driving.
C. A special socio一economic function.

I came to India two years ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community. I wasted a lot of time looking for the" typical" village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common; poverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life. In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from a town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After several hours' walk the village came into view.

A. he no longer found his work interesting

On the coast of California, on top of a mountain, stands a big castle which looks as if it has been lifted out of the Middle Ages and laid on the site. In face the castle, called San Simeon, was built for the American newspaper owner, William Randolph Hearst, but it is furnished with objects dating from different historical periods, which were moved from Europe.
It took thirty years to build the castle and even then it was never completed. Throughout this time over a hundred workmen were always employed on the site and the architect, Julia Morgam, was continually obliged to change the design, as often Hearst changed his mind.
Men were sent all over Europe to find works of art to decorate the castle. Old ceilings and fireplaces, furniture, paintings and statues were purchased and shipped to America. A large number of objects were bought but many of them could not be used and were stored in warehouse, some m them not even unpacked.
Hearst's life was used as the basis for Orson Welles’s film "Citizen Kane"，Kane, who was meant to stand for Hearst, built a big castle like San Simeon, but in the film it was called Xanadu, the name being taken from the name of the dream palace in a famous poem by Coleridge.
