Bis programs will stop being broadcast until at least Sunday, as his comments in the video have seriously damaged the broadcasters image, Huaxi Metropolis Daily quoted a CCTV staff member as saying.The CCTV employee said it is uncertain whether the programs can be broadcast again after Sunday, the report added. Bi, 56, is popular for a hosting style that engages the audience. He has hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala since 2012, as well as a popular talent show involving Westerners speaking Chinese. The cancellation was the first decision after Nie Chenxi was named CCTV president on Tuesday, the report said, adding that Nie had ordered all staff members to strictly correct work styles. A micro-blogger named Zhou Junchi said that free speech doesnt mean it is OK to defame others, adding that Bis comments were not proper for a popular host. Cheng Manli, a professor specializing in communication at Peking University, echoed Zhou, saying Bi should pay more attention to his behavior and speech as a public figure. “It does not mean we cannot share our opinions, but using ugly words and sarcasm to comment on Chinese leaders who have passed away is improper,” Cheng said. “The actions and words of celebrities are easily broadened in todays Internet era, which is open and can have a huge influence, so it is a must for the public figures to boost the quality of their speech and behavior. Otherwise, their images will be affected, such as the stars who were recently punished for drug use,” she said. “Everyone should take responsibility for what he or she says in public and online. Its better, I think, to share different ideas in a normal way,” she suggested. But she added that the party in the video seemed private, “so its release is also improper to some extent.”The video was recorded by someone sitting on Bis right, but who it is and why the video was put online is unknown. 21. According to the passage, CCTVs response when the incident happened was _. A. to change his job B. to have Bi Fujian firedC. to look into the matter D. to make him apologize 22. We can learn from the passage that _. A. Bi Fujians program will be stopped foreverB. Huaxi Metropolis Daily thinks the incident damages CCTVs image C. the video was recorded when Bi Fujian was working in a programD. the incident happened before the new CCTV presidents arrival 23. As is mentioned in the passage, Chen Manli holds the view that_.A. Bi Fujian should be severely punishedB. a celebritys influence can be enlarged through the Internet C. public figures should not share their opinionsD. it is all right to release private video of a celebrity24. The underlined word “boost” probably means “_”.A. cover B. influence C. improve D. solve B Thanks for signing up for the 2014 Black Friday Turkey Trot!

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups. Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups-blue, white and transparent glass- to examine the claim. In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr. George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.28.

A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glass B. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year. C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations. D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not newD A teenager has secured (得到) a six-figure sum for a vampire (吸血鬼) novel she wrote after being inspired by the Twilight. Abigail Gibbs, 18, who started writing the book aged 14, released chapters of her novel online, where the book eventually received 17 million hits. Harper Collins in Britain has now signed this talented author following her phenomenal (非凡的) Internet success. Miss Gibbs, from Brixham, Devon, who is about to start studying English at Oxford University, is the first author to be discovered on Wattpad. Wattpad is an online library which allows subscribers (用户) to upload or read other peoples stories. Miss Gibbs also said Stephenie Meyers famous Twilight books had influenced her novel, The Dark Heroine. “I read the Twilight and did really enjoy it. At first, my parents were a bit opposed to my writing because I was staying up till 3 a.m. on school nights and they were worried that I might fall behind.” Miss Gibbs finished her book at the age of 16. She posted each chapter after she had written it on the Internet site, until she got to five chapters before the end when she stopped. “I had signed with an agent and he basically said, Dont post anymore so as to keep the readers anxiety. That was tough because I disappeared in the site for a year and there were a lot of fans asking where I was. I have had so many requests from fans to upload the last five chapters; some people even said they were going to write their own endings.” Her fans can buy the e-book for £2.99, or wait for the paperback book priced at £6.99 in shops next month.32.

But in Bangladesh, instead of waiting for a school bus to come down their street, many students wait for a school boat to come down the river. Thats rightthese students attend school on a boat! Bangladesh is very close to sea level._36_ The flooding creates many problems. For the nearly 160 million people living there, the periodic flooding means that they are often unable to access roads, electricity, or telephones. Growing up in Bangladesh, Mohammed Rezwan was often troubled by these disruptions(破坏). _37_ The name means “self-reliance (自力更生).” The purpose of the organization is to help the people of Bangladesh receive an education and also to bring technology and an improved quality of life to poor people in remote areas of the country. In 2002, Rezwan began transforming boats into schools. Each boat was built to house between 30 and 35 students. The boats had everything you might find in a regular classroom. The only difference was that they floated on a river. _38_ Today Rezwan and his organization operate 88 boats in northern Bangladesh. About half the boats are used as schools, and the other half are used as temporary houses during the flood season. In addition to the schools and the temporary housing, there are also a floating technology and training center, a library that allows students to check out books, and a health-care center. The school boats travel along the rivers and pick up students for classes that include computer technology, agriculture, an
