The Banquet has been described as a loose adaptation(节选)of "Hamlet", featuring royal conflicts(冲突) and revenge（复仇）which is set in 10th century China. The new Emperor (Ge You) has usurped(篡夺) the throne（帝位）by murdering the previous Emperor. He marries the Empress (Zhang Ziyi), wife of the previous Emperor and stepmother to the Crown Prince (Daniel Wu).

At first, the Empress seeks only to protect herself, but as the new Emperor grows suspicious(疑心) of all those around him, she realizes that only by helping the Crown Prince kill him can she hope to survive. Together with the Chief Minister (Ma Jingwu)，she tries to carry out this plot, but when the Prince is destroyed by hesitation, she thinks out a new plan and seeks the throne for herself. As the plot move towards its climax(高潮), the Emperor calls for a plentiful royal banquet, where each will seek the end of their enemies.

The Banquet differs from Hamlet in that it does not focus on the prince, but examines the feelings of each character. According to director Feng Xiaogang: "If Hamlet is about a prince who must make a choice involving life and death, then The Banquet is about how each character must face a choice of life or death... All are motivated by desire, but as soon as they have begun their plans must grow more extreme, and they move step-by-step towards the abyss(深渊)... They do not intend evil, but turn to it out of self-preservation and ever-growing ambition（野心）."

　　Beijing-“Ma”, a Chinese character for horse, is the 13^th most common family name in China, shared by nearly 17 million people．That can cause no end of confusion when Mas get together, especially if those Mas also share the same given name, as many Chinese do．

　　Ma Cheng's book-loving grandfather came up with an elegant solution to this common problem．Twenty-six years ago, when his granddaughter was born, he consulted his library of Chinese dictionaries and lighted upon a character pronounced “cheng”．Cheng looks just like the character for horse, except that it is condensed(压缩)and written three times in a row．

　　The character is so rare that once people see it, Miss Ma said, they tend to remember both her and her name．That is one reason she likes it so much．

　　Chinese parents’ desire to give their children a spark of individuality(个性)is colliding(冲突)with the Chinese government's desire for order．Seeking to modernize its vast database on China's 1.3 billion citizens, the government's Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one, complete with color photos and microchips．The new cards are harder to forge(伪造)and can be scanned at places like airports where security is a priority．

　　The bureau's computers, however, are programmed to read only 32, 252 of the roughly 55, 000 Chinese characters according to a 2006 government report．The result is that Miss Ma and at least some of the 60 million other Chinese with obscure characters in their names cannot get new cards-unless they change their names to something more common．

     Beijing - "Ma", a Chinese character for horse, is the 13th most common family name in China, shared
by nearly 17 million people. That can cause no end of confusion when Mas get together, especially if those Mas also share the same given name, as many Chinese do.
     Ma Cheng’s book-loving grandfather came up with an elegant solution to this common problem.
Twenty-six years ago, when his granddaughter was born, he consulted his library of Chinese dictionaries
and lighted upon a character pronounced “cheng”. Cheng looks just like the character for horse, except
that it is condensed (压缩) and written three times in a row.
     The character is so rare that once people see it, Miss Ma said, they tend to remember both her and her name. That is one reason she likes it so much.
     Chinese parents’ desire to give their children a spark of individuality (个性) is colliding (冲突) with the Chinese government’s desire for order. Seeking to modernize its vast database on China’s 1.3 billion
citizens, the government’s Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that
every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one, complete with color photos and microchips. The new cards are harder to forge (伪造) and can be scanned at places like airports where security is a
priority.
     The bureau’s computers, however, are programmed to read only 32,252 of the roughly 55,000
Chinese characters according to a 2006 government report. The result is that Miss Ma and at least some
of the 60 million other Chinese with obscure characters in their names cannot get new cards - unless they
change their names to something more common.
     Moreover, the situation is about to get worse or, in the government’s view, better. Since at least 2003, China has been working on a standardized list of characters for people to use in everyday life, including

A small town in Tasmania, an island off the south coast of mainland Australia, is making itself an environmental role model by becoming the country's first plastic bag-free town.

Since April 28, Coles Bay's population of 175 and its tourist shoppers have been using reusable paper or cloth bags to carry their shopping.

Ben Keamey, a local businessman who supports the bag ban, said it would cut the amount of waste and prevent damage to native wildlife that try to eat the plastic.

"Most businesses here come from the tourism and that's all based on the environment, so people were pretty supportive," he said.

Every year Australians use more than six billion plastic bags. More than half of these come from the supermarket. Since it takes years for the bags to biodegrade（生物递减分解）, tens of millions end up polluting the environment. They kill about 100,000 sea-birds and animals, which mistake bags for food, every year.

Only in the past few months have major Australian supermarkets begun cutting on their use of plastic bags. Environmental groups are pushing for a plastic bag fee like that in Ireland. There, since plastic bags cost 10 pence (about 1 yuan) each, their use has been cut by 90 per cent.

Pollution caused by plastic bags is a big headache for countries all over the world. As early as 1999, Beijing said that only plastic bags of certain thickness could be used. This was to encourage them to be used again and again, since an average of six million plastic bags are used there every there every single day.

1.Which might be the best title for this passage?

A．Deadly Plastic Bags B．The End of Plastic Bags

C．How to Reuse Plastic Bags D．The Present Situation of Plastic Bags

2.Plastic bags will not be used by the native people of Coles Bay because they ______.

A．cause the environmental pollution B．are not easy to be reused

C．are not as good as cloth bags D．are not strong enough

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Plastic bags kill many animals in Australia each year.

B．Most Australian supermarkets have begun cutting on their use of plastic bags.

C．People at Coles Bay think poor environment may affect their tourism.

D．You have to pay for the plastic bags if you go shopping in Ireland.

4.The example of Coles Bay is to show that ______.

A．people take serious actions to deal with the plastic bag problem

B．people begin to realise the harm of using plastic bags

C．Australia is the first country in solving the plastic bag problem

D．Australians are aware of the importance of protecting the small town

5.Which of the following measures on plastic bags is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．To forbid to use them by law.

B．to charge fee for plastic bags.

C．To make them thick enough to be reuseable.

D．To make them environmentally friendly.
