some women worked as nurses in the field hospitals, taking care of wounded soldiers; some worked as cooks
in the army; many women acted as water carriers. When necessary, all these women, who had many chances
to see how the men fired guns, could take the place of the wounded men. The second way that women served
in the Army was to fight side by side with their men comrades. Although women were not supposed to fight as
soldiers in battles, when the Army was badly short of soldiers and when women were really good soldiers, who
would be against women fighting in battles? Thirdly, from city streets to country villages, many able women
were in charge of the work to supply food, clothing and medicine for the Army, and when the situation was
dangerous, they called on all the women to take up arms to defend their own homes.

China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and
jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still, her answer surprised me: "Green tea."
As long as I can remember she didn"t even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her
brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all
illnesses.
At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange
country.
How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a "China Market".
And everyone is talking about China. The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to
see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign
investment (投资) and such a step would "work wonders as it did for China".
But it"s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone
to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence
in China.
No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about
US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments. No wonder,
my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印) century as the two
countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is
my mother drinking Chinese tea.
B. she believed it had a curing effect
C. she enjoyed Chinese products
D. she was tired of Indian tea
B. China and India have different traffic rules
C. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China
D. Chinese produces are popular in both China and India
B. the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea
C. the author was surprised at China"s recent development
D. the author was curious about the growth of India"s IT industry
grow. "We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn"t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many
young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.
The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make
repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making
factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I"ve finished a
car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save
money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to
DIY classes. And for those who don"t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can
do things yourself.
B. have to learn to make their own furniture
C. take DIY courses run by the government
D. seldom go to a department store to buy things
B. make or repair things

D. improve the quality of life

D. he had to raise the children all by himself

D. Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY.
Brunei. Brunei is a tiny nation on the northwest coast of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It has been among the
richest countries in the world since oil was discovered there in 1929.
Sultan of Brunei, the nation"s leader, inherited (继承) $40 billion from his father in 1967. At that time,
he was reported to have more wealth than anyone else .By 2000, however, Sultan was estimated to be
worth only $10 billion.
Much of the money has been used to help the people of Brunei, by providing them with free or cheap
public services, The 300000 people of that nation today enjoy free health care, education, and even a free
amusement park like Disneyland. People living in remote villages in the southwest of the country can get
free health care from the nation"s Flying Medical Services.
The money made from the oil industry has also helped the Sultan develop advanced airports and shipping
ports. The main seaport of Muara, which is about 28 kilometers to the northeast of the capital city Bandar
Seri Begawan, can take up to 7 or 8 ships at the same time. Since 1974,Brunei has also had its own airline,
Royal Brunei Airlines.

it passed by him slowly. Suddenly the bike turned round and Mr. Rady, feeling dangerous, tried to drive off.
Before he could, a man on the back of the bike took out a gun from his jacket and fired. The bullet went
through the windscreen and just missed him. As he sped away another shot was fired, but missed the car.
Mr. Rady was a interpreter for British army in Iraq. As such, his life is in danger from the militia that once
controlled the Iraqi city and is now returning.
More than a year ago Iraqi soldiers, backed by US, brought peace and stability to Basra by driving militants
over the Iranian border in an operation called Charge of the Knights.
According to local estimates, however, about half have returned. Although they have not become as active
as before, the militants are trying to shoot Iraqi citizens who worked with British. Most in danger are
translators such as Mr. Rady.
The 31-year-old father worked with soldiers on dangerous missions but was refused resettlement in Britain
at the end of his employment. He worked with nine translators. Seven of them have been killed.
"I"m like a cancer patient-now that the militia is back, my family is just waiting for me to die," Mr. Rady
said. "I see reports in the media that Basra is safe but it"s not true. I know these militia people. I went to
school with some of them. I didn"t see them for a year but now they are around again. They have told me,
"Your day will come soon"." He takes security precautions and never follows a routine. This means that he
cannot work because that would give the militants a better chance of success.
Militiamen belonging to the alMahdi Army took control of Basra between 2004 and 2007 with other Shia
fighters. They enforced strict Islamic rules at the same time as running criminal rackets. British army was
unable or unwilling to fight back and eventually went back to their base at the airport.
B. a car driver
C. an Iraqi
D. a British soldier
B. Mr. Bassam Rady didn"t feel the danger from the two motorbike riders until he was shot at.
C. Most translators like Mr. Rady have to face danger from militants every day.
D. The militants were so strong that British soldiers were unable to fight back.
A. happy
B. tiring
C. busy
D. dangerous
B. a newspaper
C. a history book
D. an advertisement
