Are the Super Girls super enough to make it into China's most authoritative(权威的) dictionary?
The editors of Cihai are working on a new edition, and they say they haven't decided yet.
“The editing preparation of the 2009 edition of the dictionary has just started,” an editor of Cihai said. “Which new words will be added, and which old ones will be deleted, remains unknown.”
The TV programme that brought the Super Girls into the public eye has certainly had an influence on Chinese society since its debut in 2004.
The editor said the new edition will include terms such as “Shenzhou VI,” the name of China’s second manned spacecraft, and Ba Jin, a late master of contemporary(现代) Chinese literature.
The argument began earlier this week, when media reported that Cihai, as a dictionary that prides itself on its educational and historical value, would not include terms such as “Super Girl.”
An official said that some online words were popular, but Cihai preferred words of both popularity and stability(稳定性) and those that can withstand the test of time and usage.
A reporter from China Economic News said: “We all agree on the great contribution of Ba Jin, but who can look down on the social influence of the Super Girl?”
A Professor told China Daily: “Of course ‘Super Girls’ should be edited into Cihai. If some strange words can be in there, why not ‘Super Girls’? Even though it may die out after a few years just as, say, ‘Shenzhou VI’ will be replaced by ‘Shenzhou IX’ one day.”
Cihai records new words reflecting the latest developments in the social and natural sciences, including biology, electronics, computer science and economics.
64. What can we know about Cihai from the passage?
A. It will be edited and published in 2009.
B. Most of the words in Cihai withstand the test of time and usage.
C. It records all new words at home and abroad.

Sports shoes that out whether their owner has enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the
The shoes―named Square Eyes―contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.
The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to
Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.
Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.
Existing pedometers （计步器） normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”

A．keep a record of the steps of the wearer

B．The precise number of hours spent on TV.
C．The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.
