BEIJING, China and the world celebrated a great day of victory on June 24.
On that day, the World Health Organization (WHO)announced its removal of Beijing from its list of SARS-infected(被感染的)areas. It also lifted its travel warning against the city-the last in the world. Beijing was put on the WHO’s travel warning list on April 23.
The announcement came after the cases in Beijing’s hospitals fell to 46-well below the WHO cut-off point of 60. Beijing had recorded a total of 2,521 cases of SARS and 192 deaths by June 26.
“Today’s development is a milestone in the fight against SARS, not only in China but also around the world. From today, the WHO has no more warnings against any places around the world, ”said Shigeru Omi, a WHO official.
Just one month ago, going out without a mask(口罩)would have been thought of as daring in the capital city of 13 million people.
At the peak(高峰)of the SARS outbreak, people from Beijing were the “most unwelcome people”in the country. They were forced to cancel or put off almost all their travel plans, as most provinces and cities put a two-week quarantine(隔离期)on travelers from Beijing.
With the WHO’s announcement, life in China has returned to normal. All students in Beijing will return to school after more than two months of staying at home. And traveling has again become a big plan for the summer holiday.
However, medical experts have warned against any relaxation(放松)of SARS prevention and control measures after the lifting of the WHO travel warning.
55. Beijing was on the WHO’s travel warning list for ________.
A. more than two months
B. less than two months
C. three months
D. 50 days
56 ________ SARS patients had left Beijing’s hospital alive by June 26.
A. 2,283 B. 2,521
C. 2,329 D. 1,920
Why were people living in Beijing forced to cancel or put off almost all their travel plans?
A. Because they were considered the most unwelcome people in the country
B. Because Beijing was one of the most SARS -infected areas in the world.
C. Because it was not convenient to go out with masks.
D. Because people living in Beijing were afraid of infecting SARS in other areas.
63. Which of the following is true?
A. Beijing was the last city in the world to be removed from WHO’s list of SARS-infected areas.

The Amish are often called the “Plain People. ”Their homes have no pictures on the walls, and no soft. comfortable furniture. The men wear dark trousers with white or blue shirts, and the women wear long dresses in dark colors. They ride in carriages pulled by horses.
The Amish have a saying: “The old way is the best way. ”Although the Amish accept some new ideas -they use new medicines, for example-their way of life has not changed much in 300 years. They do not use electric lights, telephones or TVs.
Almost all Amish live on farms. They do not use modern machinery, yet their farms are successful because the Amish work hard and take good care of their land and animals. Their farms are always small. The Amish think it is wrong to have more land or more money than they need to live upon. A few years ago some Amish farmers discovered oil on their land. They immediately sold their land and moved away, without telling anyone about the oil.
The Amish will not buy insurance (保险)of any kind. When there is trouble, they help one another. If an Amish farmer gets sick, friends and neighbors will milk his cows and plant his fields. If a house burns down, as many as 200 men will come and build a new house in one day.
People are curious about the lives of the Amish. Every year thousands of people visit the part of Pennsylvania where most Amish live. Usually the Amish are not happy about the visitors, but they stand them. Perhaps the Amish understand that the visitors want to experience, at least for a few days, the quieter, simpler Amish way of life.

Today’s teen consumer market is the most profitable (有利润的)it has ever been. Even though 65% of teens claim that they depend on themselves for their fashion ideas, it is innovative (创新的)enough to drive fashion trends, according to a recent study by a marketing firm. Marketers recognize this fact and often use elements of youth culture to promote (宣传)their products. Perhaps one of the best examples is their use of hip-hop culture. It is reported that hip-hop fashion alone generates $ 750 million to $ 1 billion annually (every year). Sales of rap music and videos each exceed that amount.
Rap’s rise and sustained (继续,维持)global popularity is a good illustration (说明)of how influential youth culture is on youth attitudes and behavior. Remember when Madonna hit the charts with her bra in full view while singing about “virginity”? Soon after that, adolescent (青少年的)girls around the world began wearing their underwear outside their clothes.
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger was fully aware of the power of youth culture. He marketed his brand by giving clothes to famous MTV stars and featuring teen stars in his print ads. Picking up on teens’ interest in computer games, Hilfiger sponsored (赞助)a Nintendo competition and installed Nintendo terminals in his stores. The payoff? Teens rated Hilfiger jeans as their number one brand in a survey in 2000.
68. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Importance of Marketing.
B. The Success of Tommy Hilfiger.
C. The Power of Youth Culture.
D. The Popularity of Hip-hop Fashion.
69. How much money do sales of rap music and videos together make each year?

A. The purchasing power of teenagers has been decreasing over the years.
B. Many teenagers make a lot of profits in the fashion market today.
C. Madonna led the fashion of wearing underwear outside clothes.
