January 13, 2010 SHANGHAI - If Google leaves China, the country will suddenly become even more dependent on its main homegrown search engine, Baidu.com. And while that is likely to benefit the Chinese company in the near term, analysts say it could do no good to the long-term development of the Internet in China.

   71   , The company has 300 million users, and it is the market in China, with a commanding 63 percent share to Google’s 33 percent, according to iResearch, a consulting firm

One reason for Baidu’s leading position is its close following the nation’s tight Internet regulations and its censorship(审查) of Internet content.   72   .

“Baidu keeps a great relationship with the government,”says an advisor at 5G, a consulting firm “If the government wants something removed, Baidu will do it immediately.   73    .”

That, under local control, might be why Google never closed the market share gap with Baidu.   

   74   , while Baidu insisted that they knew what Chinese users wanted.

      Now, Google is suggesting that it may follow Yahoo and Ebay and actually disappear from a country that has the world’s largest Internet population-estimated to be 338 million users.“  75   

  ”says Yu Yang, chief of Analysts International, a Beijing-based research firm. “As for Baidu, without competition with Google, Baidu has no motivation to create.”

 There are many stereotypes( 定型 ) about the character of people in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable(好客的) . Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely give you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

      American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.

Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

   He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

   I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

   I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

MOSCOW(Reuters) – Russia hopes the United States will extend the deadline to retire its space shuttles beyond 2011 and has heard unofficially it is possible, the head of Russia"s space agency was quoted as saying on Friday.

The U.S. space agency NASA(美国宇航局) plans six more missions by its fleet of aging space shuttles by late next year or early 2011 after the construction of the $100 billion International Space Station (ISS) is completed. The shuttles will then be retired. But the head of Roscosmos, Russia"s space agency, said he would prefer to see further shuttle missions to the Space Station, now in orbit 360 km (225 miles) above Earth. "From some sources we have learned that it is possible to extend the life of the shuttle beyond 2011," Roscosmos chief Anatoly Perminov was quoted by RIA news agency as saying. Reuters was not invited to the briefing(简报会). "Then the situation would change substantially and it would be possible to work jointly with the Americans, unlike now, when the main burden (for the ISS) lies with the Russian side," Perminov was quoted as saying by Interfax. Perminov said he had not been told this through official channels, Interfax news agency reported. He added that NASA"s new chief and former astronaut Charles Bolden would visit Russia"s Baikonur cosmodrome on September 30 in his first foreign trip.

NASA"s future strategy is currently under review with the main focus on possible flights to Mars. It is also encouraging a private space taxi project to the ISS. NASA"s current plan, conceived under former President George Bush after the Columbia accident, is to complete the space station, retire the shuttles and build new spaceships. A new rocket and capsule to transport astronauts to the ISS is also being developed but will not be operational until about 2015. Until then, NASA will rely on Roscosmos and must pay $50 million per seat for flights to the ISS by Soyuz capsules.

The U.S., Russian and Chinese governments are the only entities currently capable of human orbital space flight, although several U.S. companies are developing vehicles and support services to do so.

What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

       A．NASA agrees to extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011.

       B．Reuters was not invited to the briefing.

       C．The US would work jointly with Russia.

       D．NASA’s new chief would visit Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome.

NASA’s current plan includes all the following EXCEPT       .

       A．completing International Space Station

       B．flights to Mars

       C．retiring the current space shuttles

       D．building new spaceships

If the US doesn’t extend the life of the shuttles beyond 2011,         .

       A．International Space Station will be quit

       B．Roscosmos will have to build more spaceships

       C．NASA will have to quicken the development of the new rocket and capsule

       D．Roscosmos will be burdened with the transportation to ISS

We can infer from the passage that        .

       A．China has already been involved in the project of flights to Mars

       B．it is certain the NASA will retire the current space shuttles as planned

       C．NASA is considering Russia’s suggestion

       D．NASA will be able to provide a private space taxi project to the ISS by 2015.
