stand still, die,is one of Oliveira's favorite
phrases. He knows from experience what it
means, as the Portuguese film director has
reached the age of 102 and is still active in his
profession. Every year, Oliveira shoots a film

that death is not far away,
his age, Oliveira
said with some humility:
from others.
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age
is partly a matter of luck, but it also has
something to do with character. Not every
white-haired person is wise and social skills,
openness
and the ability to train the brain
are essential for senior citizens.
Along
with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel
laureate Montalcini (101) and director
Kurt
Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of
whom it would be very wrong to think as
members of a listless elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the
architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old
Brazilian
is best known for his futuristic-
looking（未来派的）buildings in Brasilia, but he also
speaks out on
behalf of the poor.

of architecture that serves everyone and not just
a privileged few,
He spends almost every day
working in his office in Copacabana, and even when
he falls ill he
keeps working on ideas: After
a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba
tune (桑巴舞
曲) in the clinic.
Another man
who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old
Heesters. The Dutch-born opera
singer spent
most of his life performing in Germany, where he
still works. Recently Heesters said:

About five years ago , an American
electrical engineer named Scott Brusaw and his
wife Julie
came up with the idea of putting
solar panels(控制板)on the ground rather than the
roof . Then
they began to develop the Solar
Roadway . The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road
that provides
clean renewable energy using
power from the sun while providing safer driving
conditions , along
with power and data
delivery . They predict that the Solar Roadway
will pay for itself through the
generation of
electricity along with other forms of income and
that the same money that is being
used to
build and resurface current roads can be used to
build the Solar Roadways.
Each Solar Road
Panel measures roughly 4 meters by 4 meters and
contains a
microprocessor(微处理器)that monitors
and controls the panel , while communicating with
neighboring panels and the vehicles traveling
overhead . The inventors suggest that this
provides
a communications device every 4
meters on every road which could be used for
example to warn
drivers of cars which are
moving across a centre line and various other
speed control problems.
The top of the Solar
Road panels is made of super-strong glass that
would offer vehicles the
tractions(抓地力) they
need.
According to the inventors, the Solar
Roadway creates and carries clean renewable
electricity and therefore electric vehicles
can be recharged at any conveniently located rest
stop ,
or at any business that has paved Solar
Road Panels in their parking lots.
The
inventors say their Solar Roadway has many
functions and advantages from main roads
to
driveways, parking lots, bike paths, sidewalks and
Federal Highway Administration
has given
Brusaw ＄100,000 to develop the invention and
Brusaw hopes to build a smart-road
parking lot
in the coming spring .
6. In the inventors’
opinion, the Solar Roadway .
A. is too
expensive to build at present
B. costs no more
money than current roads
C. can provide as
many data as present computers
D. will bring
them a large sum of money
underlined word
“they” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.
the panels B. the inventors C. the researchers
D. the vehicles
Solar Roadway includes all
the following advantages except .
A.
providing safer driving conditions
B. helping
drivers communicate with each other while driving
C. creating and carrying clean renewable
electricity
D. warning drivers of various
speed control problems
9. It can be inferred
from the text that .

A. the Solar Roadway has already been
put into use
B. ＄100,000 is only enough to

Roadway is not available for gas-powered cars
D. future electric vehicles can be charged
anytime and anywhere
10. What can be the best
title for the text?

third of primary schoolchildren in China are
suffering from psychological ill-health as a
result of classroom stress and parental
pressure, according to a study published on
Tuesday.
The problem is so bad that urgent
measures are needed, warns the study, led by
British and
Chinese researchers.
The
investigation surveyed 2,191 pupils aged nine to
12 in nine schools in urban and rural
Zhejiang, a relatively prosperous coastal
province in eastern China.
Eighty-one
percent of the youngsters said they worried
lotabout exams, 63 percent
feared being
punished by their teacher, 44 percent had been
physically bullied at least sometimes
– with
boys likelier to be victims than girls – and 73
percent had been physically punished by their
parents.
Most of the children complained
they struggled to cope with the amount of homework
they
were assigned.
Over one-third
reported headaches or abdominal pains –
psychosomatic symptoms of stress
– at least
once a week. The most stressed children reported
incidence of aches or pains of four
times a
week.
The investigation, led by Therese
Hesketh, a professor at University College London
(UCL)
Centre for International Health and
Development, pointed the finger at extreme
competitiveness
in China's education system,
from the onset of primary school.

leads to high levels of stress and
psychosomatic symptoms,

unnecessary stress on children in schools should
be introduced
urgently.

in Archives of Disease in Childhood, a peer-
reviewed journal of the British

The study
highlights some of the complexities that, it says,
explain the demands for
academic excellence
and intolerance of failure.
One factor is the
country's dramatic rise in prosperity, which has
created
unheard-off possibilities for upward
mobility
at school.
Other reasons are
China's one-child policy and the Confucian
traditions of respect for
parents and elders,
filial piety, obedience and discipline.

children, it says.
Previous studies on school-
related stress and its impact on health are few
and generally
come from Scandinavia.
A

found that 21 percent of boys of 30
percent of
girls experienced headache, and 17 percent of boys
and 28 percent of girls
experienced abdominal
pain at least once per week.

It was a cold night in Washington, D. C.,
and I was heading back to the hotel when a man
approached me. He asked if l would give him
some money so he could get something to eat. I'd
read the signs:
I wasn't prepared for a
reply, but he said,
can come with me and watch
me eat!
The incident bothered me for the rest
of the week. I had money in my pocket and it
wouldn't
have killed me to hand over a buck or
two even if he had been lying. Flying back to
Anchorage, I
couldn't help thinking of him. I
tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by
assuming
government agencies, churches and
charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're
not
supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my
weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily
News. Out of the blue, I came u p with an
idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage,
feeds
hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day.
Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row
in
their gardens dedicated (奉献)to Bean's?
Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean
and
simple.

Folks would me or call when they took something
in. Those who only grew flowers
donated them.
Food for the spirit. In 1995, the Garden Writers
Association of America held their
annual
convention in Anchorage and after learning of
Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for
Bean's
became Plant a Row For The Hungry. The original
idea was to have every member of the
Garden
Writers Association of America write or talk about
planting a row for the hungry
sometime during
the month of April.
As more and more people
started working with the Plant a Row concept, new
variations
cropped up. Many companies gave
free seed to customers and displayed the logo,
which also
appeared in national gardening
public actions. Row markers with the Plant a Row
logo were
distributed to gardeners to set
apart their
Garden editor Joan Jackson, backed
by The San Jose Mercury News and California's
nearly
year-round growing season, raised more
than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her
first
year, and showed GWAA how the program
could really work.
Texas fruit farms donated
food to their local food bank after being inspired
by Plant a Row.
Today the program continues to
thrive and grow.
I am stunned that millions of
Americans are threatened by hunger. If every
gardener in Amer
ica---and we're seventy
million strong---plants one row for the hungry, we
can make quite a
decrease in the number of
neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then
I will stop
feeling guilty about abandoning a
hungry man I could have helped.
