A senior United Nations Children"s fund (UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children"s welfare(福利).
A.H.M. Farook, UNICEF"s operations area officer for China and Mongolia said, “China can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”
China"s child population makes up one fifth of the world"s total.
“The reason behind the remarkable achievement is China"s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society," he said.
“What"s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need."
The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children"s Welfare Home at the Shangri la Hotel, Beijing.
The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks(小吃), sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine" party, as a prelude(前奏) to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.
The Beijing children"s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.
A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400-500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese worker earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.  
Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary general of the China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), said people from all walks of like have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.
She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which walls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.
By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment(建立) of 2,074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1.25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

试题【A senior United Nations Children"s fund (UNICEF) official on May 29 praised Chin】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad, for it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.
Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.
Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.
小题1:The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 refers to those who ______.
A.are against competition most strongly.B.are fond of competition very much.
C.are satisfied with competition.D.are interested in competition
小题2:According to the passage, why do some people support competition?
A.Because they think friendly relationship needs it.
B.Because they think social progress and prosperity need it.
C.Because they think it can make us become cleverer.
D.Because they think it can deal with many personal problems.
小题3:We can learn from the passage that __________.
A.all the people have the same opinion about competition
B.Failure can make most people feel down
C.Both the true competitors and those with a desire to fail believe one’s worth lies in his performance compared with others
D.Competition can make every competitor successful
小题4:The passage manly talks about different opinions about ________.
A.competitionB.successC.failureD.friendship

Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a bad Spanish greyhound(猎狗).

20090506


 
It is believed that 50,000 greyhounds are killed by their owners in Spain each year after they grow too old, or turn out to be too slow to hunt with.Dogs have also been found thrown into wells, burnt alive and even injected with poison.But Rey"s intended fate(命运) was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel.The rope around his neck had been set at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support himself.When his legs finally became too tired, the rope should have done its work.
"They call it the typewriting death, because the dog"s back legs struggled against the ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter," said Albert Sorde, of the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group."It is a punishment for greyhounds that are thought to have made their owners lose face."
"Rey"s throat was severely damaged but we managed to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived," he said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares(野兔)."The dogs are meant to imitate the swerves(转向)of the hares," said Sorde."Those who don"t, and make their owners look bad, are called "dirty greyhounds" and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter method."  
小题1:Rey was intended to be killed by            
A.kickingB.burying
C.hangingD.drowning
小题2:The underlined word "vet" in(Paragraph 5)probably means  “_________”.
A.animal doctorB.ambulance
C.animal medicine D.equipment
小题3:What can you infer from the passage?  
A.Dogs are not kept as pets in Spain.
B.Rey was punished because he had not been loyal to his owner.
C.The typewriting death is named because a typewriter is used in the punishment.
D.Rey didn’t behave very well in the hunting.
小题4:The passage mainly tells the readers about _________.
A.the cruel killing of dogs in Spain
B.how Rey was saved by rescuers
C.how Spanish dogs hunt hares
D.the fate of the dogs in Spain
