A
To all of you at Chine love links,
I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.
I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chine and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.
Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and emed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via e – mails 2 – 3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.
I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Y ing and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to mar
ry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone el but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.
So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: Y ou may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourlf. This site worked for me mostly becau I was honest with something that I wanted in someone el. When I did find her, love can
work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences. I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to tho at Chine love links to help make it happen.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur

Despite rising education levels, Americans of every age are reading less and less for pleasure the days, according to an analysis by the National Endowment for the Arts. The decline (下降) could have bad effects as people tune out books, tune in popular culture and become less socially engaged.
―We’ve got a public culture which is almost entirely commercial (商业化) and novelty –driven (追新),‖ says NEA chairman Dana Gioia. ―I think it’s letting the nation down.‖The study gathers years of data on Americans’reading habits and finds that, at every age group, we’re reading less.
Most of the data have appeared in private, government and university surveys, but today’s report is the first to combine them into a single portrait. It suggests that the demands of school, work and family and the decisive advantage of other forms of entertainment have caud the decline in reading for millions of Americans.
·Only 38% of adults in 2006 said they had spent time reading a book for pleasure.
·65% of college freshmen in 2005 said they read little or nothing for pleasure.
·30% of 13 – year – olds in 2004 said they read for fun ―almost every day,‖ down from 35% in 1984.
According to Gioia, a poet, they decline is probably the single most important social issue in the United States today. The findings should be a wake – up call to educators to change the way they teach literature at every level. It was once believed that if someone went to college, they would become a lifelong reader. What we’re eing right now is that we’re no longer producing
readers. We’re producing B. A. s and M. A. s and Ph. D. s.
Cioia also wants main media to wake up to how they can promote good books in many ways. He notes that when a character in the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral recited a few lines of W. H. Auden’s poem Funeral Blues, the poet briefly became a best ller.
45. The underlined phra ―tune out‖ in the first paragraph probably means .
A. clo
B. publish
C. prove
D. read
46. According to Dana Gioia, the change of Americans’ reading habit .
A. is positive and valuable
B. does harm to the nation
C. is caud only by popular culture
D. can make poets best llers
47. Which of the following is NOT the cau for the change in reading habit?
A. Demands of getting a
B. A., M. A. or Ph. D.
B. Demands of family, school and work.
引领新时代
C. The change in the way the literature is taught.
D. Advantages of the entertainment.
48. We can infer that the number of teenagers reading for pleasure reduced by in 20 years.
A. 30%
B. 38%
C. 65%
D. 5%

Parents in three Midwestern states will soon know just how good or bad their kids’ driving is when their children take the car for a spin (疾驶).
Starting today, American Family Insurance is offering customers with teen drivers free cameras that record what happens when a sudden change in the car’s movement occurs.
The cameras record the action inside and in front of the car in 20 –cond audio –video clips (剪辑). The clips are then transmitted to Drive Cam, a San Diego company that analyzes the clips for risky behavior.
Among things the analysts look for is the respon time of the drivers and if they are paying attention to the road. Parents can receive a report on their kids’ driving and view the clips on a home computer.
Car accidents are the leading cau of death among U. S. teens, according to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
―There will be fewer accidents,‖ Rick Fetherston, vice president at American Family said of the new system. American Family will test the system out by offering it for free for one year to 30.000 families in Wisconsin, Indiana and Minnesota to e whether the system results in fewer accidents. If the system is proven to prevent accidents, customers who volunteer to u it might e their insurance premiums (保险费) drop. The company would not be viewing the videos or individual score cars, unless there is an accident.
Bruce Moeller, president of Drive Cam, says his company’s system is already being ud by companies with lots of cars. ―Some of our customers are reporting a 30% to 90% reduction in their risky driver events,‖ Moeller says.
But a lawyer in Minneapolis says. ―If I felt I needed a camera in the car to watch over my kids, I shouldn’t be letting them drive.‖

American Family tested the system in two high schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Megan Ireland, 17, said the camera caught her stopping too late and taking turns too fast. The student at Prior Lake High School in Savage, Minn., said she didn’t like it becau she felt it invaded her privacy (侵犯隐私) but has warmed up to the system. ―Now I don’t really have a
