| Time: April 8th, 2010 at 10 PM To April 9th, 2010 at 3 AM Location: Babyface Guangzhou Street: No. 83 Changdi Da Ma Road, Guangzhou City/Town: Guangzhou Website or Map: http://www.babyface.com.cn Phone: 020-8335 5771 Organized By: Babyface China Official Grammy nominated (格莱美奖提名) artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe. PvD, as his fans have nicknamed him, is currently ranked the World's No. 1 DJ by DJ Magazine's "Top 100 DJs poll" for the second successive year. PvD is well-known as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. Born in Eisenhuettenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music-he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990's Paul van Dyk was performing regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it was the release of his second album Seven Ways that put him into Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single "For An Angel," which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003-a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world. |

| Vans, Keds, Dollies-they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear. But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future. Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
So what do podiatrists (足科医生) have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear? Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino. If your teen insists on wearing 'bad' shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics (矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage. | ||||||
| 1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems? | ||||||
| A. Marks & Spencer. B. Wedges & Stilettos. C. Keds and Vans. D. Ballet Pumps. | ||||||
| 2. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists' wish list? | ||||||
A.  B.  C.  D.  | ||||||
| 3. The underlined word "halt" in the last paragraph probably means _____. | ||||||
| A. increase B. worsen C. stop D. cure | ||||||
| 4. From this passage we can infer _____. | ||||||
| A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers' health B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes | ||||||

| Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness. The study of 79 adults (average age 72) with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy (疗法) requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist-a costly commitment many patients either can't make or don't have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls. Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep: reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don't go to bed unless sleepy; and don't stay in bed unless asleep. The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia, which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call. At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia, compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures. The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.'s Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease. |
| 1. What is the meaning of the underlined word "insomnia"? |
| A. sleeplessness B. depression C. heart disease D. immune deficiency |
| 2. What is the disadvantage of traditional behavioral therapy? |
| A. It can't help. B. It costs a lot of money. C. It requires sessions with a therapist. D. It includes sleep-aiding medications. |
| 3. How to improve sleep according to the doctor? |
| A. Lying in bed awake. B. Get up early every day. C. Don't go to bed late at night. D. Don't stay in bed if you are not asleep. |
| 4. We can learn from the text that insomnia may cause the following results except _____. |
| A. depression B. concentration C. immune deficiency D. heart disease |
| 5. What can we infer from the study? |
| A. The intervention group was not given the printed materials. B. The latter group of the study was not given follow-up phone calls. C. The behavioral treatment group was less likely to show improvements. D. The instructing session that the intervention group received is most effective. |

| Britain's seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet's wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010. The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Gardens-one of the oldest botanical gardens-will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thursday, a pink, wild banana from China. More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew's giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said. The seed bank is one of the largest and most diverse in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds. Its goal is to help protect the planet's bio-diversity during a time of climate change. The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction (灭绝) in southwest China from agricultural development. It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human consumption. Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of years, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes-when the species no longer exist in the wild. It is a race against time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild. He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century. "It is urgent and it is happening now. An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation (植被) every year." Smith said. Because most of the world's food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say. There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diversity. For Kew's next goal-to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020-the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted. |
| 1. What's the final purpose of the Britain's seed bank? |
| A. To collect enough money for the project. B. To safeguard food crops. C. To protect wild plants from extinction. D. To help scientists study wild plants. |
| 2. The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _____. |
| A. the expanding of farming work B. the climate change in this area C. the large number of Asian elephants D. human's large consumption |
| 3. We can learn from the passage that _____. |
| A. the seeds in the bank can be used now and then all over the world B. India and Brazil haven't joined in the Seed Bank Project at present C. there is only one seed bank in the world at present D. the wild plants in places like India and China will never die out |
| 4. What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 7 refer to? |
| A. The extinction of plant species. B. Kew Gardens' next goal. C. Britain's seed bank. D. The Millennium Seed Bank Project. |
| 5. Which of the following information isn't mentioned in the passage? |
| A. The global partnership of collecting wild plant species. B. The temperature condition of the conservative wild plant species. C. The government's financial support for the seed bank project. D. Scientists' concern on the extinct wild plant species. |

| Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and ensure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn. (1) Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile. (2) Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable. (3) Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong. (4) ______. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time. (5) Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don't let small problems seem very big and important. (6) Talk about problems-sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don't be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything! (7) Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do. (8) Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. Try to make progress bit by bit. Think of small targets:"I will speak in class four times this week", "I will finish my project on Wednesday" or "I will get two more marks this week". Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life! |
