The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines	Features：The Tokyo Metro and Toei lines that make up of Tokyo's huge subway system carry almost 8 million people each day，making it the busiest system in the world．The system is famous for its oshiya-literally，"pusher"-who push passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close．And you think your ride is hell．
The Moscow Metro	Features：The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world．The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers（枝行吊灯），marble moldings and elaborate murals（精美壁画）．With more than 7 million riders a day，keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden．
The Hong Kong MTR	Features：The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit．It's privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership．It also introduced"Octopus cards"that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically，but buy stuff at convenience stores，supermarkets，restaurants and even parking meters．It's estimated that 95% of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card．
Shanghai Metro	Features：Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system，and it has become the country's largest in the 12 years since it opened．Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years．By that point，it would be three times larger than Chicago"L"．The system carries about 2.18 million people a day．
The London Metro	Features：Londoners call their subway the Underground，even though 55 percent of it lies above ground．No matter when you've got the oldest mass-transit system in the world，you can call it anything you like．Trains started in 1863 and they've been running ever since．Some 3 million people ride each day，every one of them remembering to"Mind the gap"

2．A chocolate printer that allows sweet lovers to create 3D desserts by themselves is to go on sale at a cost of 2，500 pounds．
The machine squirts （喷射） out chocolate and，via computer instructions，allows the user to build any shape they like out of the food．But makers Choc Edge have missed the Easter rush．Even so，they hope the printer will be snapped up by retailers （零售商） immediately they come to the market．Britain's biggest chocolatiers Thornton's have already said they are interested．Because of the high cost，however，few individuals are likely to buy one．But the device could one day allow people to design their own 3D objects after submitting their designs on a website．Dr Hao，founder of Choc Edge came up with a prototype （原型） last year and has only just perfected it so that it can now go on sale．"We've improved and simplified the machine，so now it is really easy to use，"he told the BBC．"You just need to melt some chocolate，fill a syringe （注射器） that is stored in the printer，and get creative printing of your chocolate．"
3D printing is a technology where a three dimensional object is created by building up successive layers of material．The technology is already used in industry to produce plastic and metal products，but this is the first time the principles have been applied to chocolate．The research has presented many challenges．Chocolate is not an easy material to work with because it requires accurate heating and cooling cycles．Dr Hao said，"What makes this technology special is that users will be able to design and make their own products．From reproducing the shape of a child's favourite toy to a friend's face，the possibilities are endless．It could be developed to help consumers design many products from different materials，but we've started with chocolate as it is easily available，low cost and harmless．""There is also no wastage as any spoilage （损坏物） can be eaten．"Dr Hao added，"Eventually we may see many mass-produced products replaced by unique designs created by the customer．"
EPSRC chief executive Professor Dave Delpy said，"This is a good example of how creative research can be applied to create new manufacturing and retail ideas．By combining developments in engineering with the commercial potential of the digital economy We can see the new market prospect （前景）-creating new jobs and，in this case，the chocolate printer is called sweet business opportunities．"

A．It is easily available，low cost and harmless．
B．It mainly produces children's favourite toys．

1．Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising．Known as the"Photoshop Law"，it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they've digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner．
The new law prohibits the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less，a designation based on internationally accepted measures．The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U．S．Department of Health．
The law doesn't set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit．Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law，but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want； stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty．
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren't happy．
They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary and are not appropriate for every model．Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law．Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs．
However，plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models．"I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy，"she said．
60．What is"Photoshop Law"about？B
A．Banning the use of underweight models．
B．Banning underweight models in advertising．
C．Banning changing pictures digitally．
D．Banning models in advertising．
61．The underlined word"suit"in Paragraph 3 meansC．
A．a set of clothing
B．a group of rooms
C．an action in court
D．a fitness to the case
62．What can we know from the passage？D
A．All models are happy about the law．
B．All advertising agencies are happy about the law．
C．The law makes no sense．
D．There are arguments over the beauty standard of models．
