The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian

16、 kids and the elderly, but in order to stay shes had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad. Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)population by demandin

17、g language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship. Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say its only natural that n

18、ewcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society. Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society

19、and promote understanding across cultures. Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italys then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, for

20、eigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy. Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two child

21、ren to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.

Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on

24、his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners mus

25、t cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese

26、language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States

27、, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinkers ideas are still al

28、ive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

31、r in .A.a biographyB.a history paperC.a newspaperD.a philosophy textbook5、 A dragonfly barely an inch and a half long appears to be the animal worlds most prcnluctive long distance traveler flying thousands of miles over oceansaccording to newly published research. Biologists who led the study say t

32、he evidence is in the genes. They found that populations of this dragonfly, called Pantala (lavescens, in Texas, eastern Canada, Japan, Korea,India, and South America, have genes so similar that there is only one likely explanation. Apparentlysomehow一these insects are traveling distances thai are ex

33、traordinarily long for iheir small size, breeding (繁殖) with each other, and creating a common worldwide gene pool. But how do insects from different continents manage to meet? Ware says it appears to be the way their bodies have evolved These dragonflies have adaptation such as increased surface are

34、as on their wings that enable them to use the wind to carry them. Dragonflies,in fact,have already been observed crossing the Indian Ocean from Asia to Africa. “They are following the weather, says Daniel Troasl, who analyzed the DNA samples in Wares lab. Theyve going from India where its the dry se

35、ason to Africa where its the wet season, and apparentlythey do it once a year. Wetness is a must for Pantala to reproduce, and that, says Ware, is why these insects would be driven to even attempt such a dangerous trip, which she calls a kind of suicide. The species depends on it. While many will di

36、e on the roule, as long as enough make it, the species sunives. For the moment, the details of this extraordinary insect travel are an educated best guess.

46、ite. State televisions noon newscast showed the tourist city of Hangzhou on the eastern coasts where graceful bridges and waterside pagodas were hidden in a mix of sand and other pollution.

52、e. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session. When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It d

53、oes point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.

59、r smart phones to tell time. it is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they

60、 are willing to spend money on a quality products accuracy. But in recent years, the watch that doesnt just keep good time. Fifty year ago, watchmakers took pride in their products accuracy.
