  Super Girl is Time Magazine Hero

  “Super Girl” winner Li Yuchun, with her tomboy style hair and a shy smile, appears on the cover of the latest edition of Time Asia Magazine, issued on Monday, as one of the 25 Asia Heroes of 2005.

  Six people from China were on the Asia Hero list, including actress Zhang Jingchu who played the heroine in the Silver Bear Award winning movie “Peacock” at this year’s Berlin Film Festival and Taiwan dance artist Lin Hwai-min who founded the Cloud Gate Dance Theater.

  The other Asia Heroes are from Japan, India, Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea, including volunteers who helped search for missing people in last year’s havoc(浩劫)caused by tsunami.

  Time said the 21-year-old Li, a pop singing major at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music, has become a new pop icon for her boyish charm and unconventional personality.

  Li polled more than 3.5 million votes via cell phone text messages at the finals of “Super Girl”, the Chinese version of “American Idol”.

  The gala finale attracted about 400 million viewers, nearly one-third of China’s population.

  According to the magazine, the influence brought by the “Li Yuchun phenomenon” goes far beyond her voice in China.Her “attitude, originality and a proud androgyny(雌雄同体)” are challenging the country’s traditional customs.

  Time said actress Zhang, “with her taste for traditionally inspired dress and her reverence(尊敬)for ancient Chinese aphorisms(格言)”, may be a perfect ambassador for China.

  Described by Time as “Asia’s synthesizing(综合的)dance genius, ” dancer Lin’s outdoor performance in Taipei could attract an audience of more than 60 000.

  It is the fourth continuous year the magazine has elected Asia Heroes.

  The listed heroes are considered brave, courageous, persistent and can encourage locals.

  Last year, Athens Olympics champion Liu Xiang and prima ballerina Tan Yuanyuan from China were on the list.

  What do you think about your Chinese textbook?Are all the articles in it beautifully written and interesting enough?If not, just replace some boring ones with the good pieces you find elsewhere.

  That's-exactly what students at Shanghai Jianping High School do.One fourth of their texts are widely taken from works by authors such as Zhou Guoping, Lin Yutang, Francis Bacon, or even written by their fellow students.

  “We’re fascinated with these new articles because they were chosen by people of our age and most of the pieces relate to our lives,”said Hu Mengchun, 17.

  Yao Minyi, 18, and her friends once came across an article on Peking University' s old professor Ji Xianlin, which was written by a well-known CCTV host Bai Yansong.They found it inspiring on how to become a respectable person, so they showed the article to their teacher.The article soon became a hot topic once it was collected into their book.

  Chen Dui, 18, loves Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.Two years ago, she wrote a report on the poet’s works Stray Bird.Last term she gave a lecture to the lower grades on it and shared her experience on how to enjoy Tagore' s poems.

  However, Senior 1 Hu Yang argues that their Chinese readings are still not enough.

  “I hope to read some passages from novels or articles by young authors born in the 1980s such as Han Han, Guo Jingming and Min Xiaoxi,”she said.

  There are several reasons for hair loss in women.However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective.Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men.A woman may experience it temporarily(暂时地)due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.

  Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency(which is not genetically linked to just one parent-both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).

  Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men.There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based.Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs(草药)that are said to stimulate(刺激)hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.

  The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women.True, a woman's hair issue is different from a man's.The biological makeup is different and the needs are different.Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available.There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.

  One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor.Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair.Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.

(1)

It can be learned from the 1st paragraph that ________.

[  ]

A.

usually hair loss is hard to heal

B.

female hair loss is more common than the men's

C.

women tend to suffer from hair loss during the pregnant period

only illness contribute to hair loss

Which of the following statements matches the text about the two treatments?

[  ]

A.

Both are to solve the problem of male hair loss.

B.

Tricomin System is effective in speeding the growth of the new hair

C.

Shen Min is an updated way of treating hair loss

D.

The former is nutrition-based, while the latter is medicine-based.

(3)

The reasons for the differences between the female and male hair loss problems do not include ________.

[  ]

A.

The biological structure and composition of the hair

B.

The wants and needs

C.

The reactions and responses to the outside changes

D.

The approach to taking exercise

(4)

  Students at the Hogook Middle School in South Korea have a unique homework:going online to message boards and write positive,cheerful comments.Teachers and other adults hope those comments will discourage others from leaving vicious(恶意的)and negative remarks.This is one of the activities in a nationwide program called the Sunfull Movement.

  Online attacks are an increasing problem in South Korea.The National Police Agency receives tens of thousands of complaints every year, but there is not much that can be done to stop it,since attackers seldom use their real names.In the worst cases,authorities say cyber-bullies(网络攻击)have pressured some people to take their own lives.That is why the Sunfull Movement's founder, Min Byoung'chul, a professor at Kunkuk University,began the program three years ago.

  Min says research indicates ninety percent of the attackers are under the age of 30.“Young kids,they're stressed out because of schoolwork.They have to prepare for their college entrance examinations and they just write whatever they feel.That's one of the ways to blow off their discontent and stress.” explained Min.

  Student Kim Hee-joo,15, says she writes thank-you messages to friends,family and teachers on her school' s homepage.And when she sees people making bad comments about famous people,she leaves nice messages,because when people see positive comments they are more likely to stop saying bad things and change their attitude.

  Teacher Kim Eun-young says Koreans do not really say “Thank you” or “I love you” to friends or parents.But being not face-to-face, they feel more comfortable saying those kinds of things.She also says violence at the school,both online and offline,has decreased and students and teachers get along much better now.

(1)

What's the aim of the Sunfull Movement?

[  ]

A.

To teach students how to make comments on the Internet·

B.

To stop cyber-bullying and create a positive atmosphere on the Internet·

C.

D.

To serve as a model for other nations by gaining experience.
