Guinness World Records, the global authority on record-breaking achievements, presented China Central TV (CCTV) the world record for Most Watched National Network TV Broadcast for its annual Spring Festival Gala show. The program, which is produced especially to celebrate the Chinese New Year, had a unique reach of 498,659,000 viewers on CCTV-1, 3 and 4 in 2012 , making it the most watched national variety entertainment show in the world.
The official record certificate was presented by Guinness World Records, Global Managing Director, Mr. Alistair Richards to CCTV Vice President Mr. Luo Ming during a special "China in Cannes" reception co-hosted with Reed MIDEM as part of the celebrations to honor the Chinese delegation at this year's MIPTV market.
CSM Media Research, which supplied the viewing figures for Guinness World Records verification(证明), considered viewers aged 4 years or above who watched at least one minute of the 2012 show on either CCTV-1, 3 or 4, the three channels which aired the show at the same time. The figure refers to viewers on any one of the three channels, therefore excluding duplications(重播). This represents almost 40% of the China TV population aged 4 years or above.
Commenting on CCTV's incredible record achievement which is based on reach of audience, Alistair Richards said, "It is fitting that we celebrate this amazing achievement at MIPTV. National networks have the power to move nations and CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is the ultimate example. It reaches nearly half a billion people on the biggest holiday of their year."
CCTV Vice President Luo Ming, who accepted the Guinness World Records certificate on behalf of CCTV, said, "Chinese New Year is a special time for families in China and our Spring Festival Gala has been the traditional TV entertainment highlight for three decades. Although this is a world record achieved by our viewers, it is also a record won by the staff of CCTV, who makes it possible for our television shows to reach homes right across China."
The new record will be included in the next edition of the world famous Guinness World Records book.

With roads and tube lines set to be more crowded than ever this summer, a few people may be tempted to use it as an excuse for a day off.
But for employees at data services provider, Interxion, a chaotic commute (乘车往返上下班)during the Olympics will hold no weight. That's because, in an effort to keep things from progressing slowly this summer, bosses at the London company are asking staff to sleep at work -- in space pods. Far from sleeping on the job, engineers will be asked to stay behind and sleep in the closed capsules to avoid the rush hour.
And while other companies are planning to offer staff the luxury of working from home during the Games, the firm behind the capsules hopes to get more workplaces on board.
Podtime, the firm behind the unusual cabins, are describing them as the perfect solution to the Olympics' crowded commute. On their official website they state 'London businesses will be severely affected by the transport problems caused by the Olympics.'
Reasonable prices and various pods provide the best solution to this by allowing your staff to stay on site as necessary, in comfort and privacy. Coming in a range of colours, the capsules, made of polycarbonate, sell at anything from £1,375. The stock models are fitted with either foam mattresses (床垫)or a standard single mattress as well as a storage shelf, mirror and power points.
These types of capsules have been around for years, in hotels, but Interxion is thought to be among the first to have them installed at the workplace.
An independent report carried out by Oxford Economics last year estimated that around 450,000 visitors will stay in London while 5.5 million people will visit for at least a day during the Games. This will inevitably mean more cars on the road and greater congestion on the Underground.
55. Interxion intends to place the space capsules__________.
A. in the Olympic stadium
B. in the hotels of London
C. at the workplace
D. at the staff’s homes
56. Which statement about the space pods is NOT right?
A. They offer various colors for employees to choose from.
B. They are to be used at workplaces for the first time.
C. They are the superb way to solve crowded commute.
D. They protect personal privacy of employees who use them.
57. All the facilities are fitted to the stock models EXCEPT_______.
A. foam single mattresses
B. storage shelves
C. mirrors
D. power points
58. The underlined part “hold no weight” (Para 2) probably mean_________.
A. draw much attention
B. have little influence
C. make a big difference
D. get into great trouble

C
Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （气泡） and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator to Australia to find the most expensive homes．
The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines. An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average family’s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category. And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a family’s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9.5 time
