The designs we received include:James Anthony, DrummoyneJames reduces the Union Jack down in size and changes its shape to become a reminder of the British tradition rather than canceling it altogether. At the same time he suggests enlarging the stars of the Southern Cross. His design attempts to use the best of both worlds in a newly designed flag.As he says, “the British part of the Australian Flag is too big and the Australian bits are too small. When you make the stars bigger the Australian flag can look impressive.”Joe Bollen, TurranmurraJoes flag has the main elements of a risen sun, white horizon(地平线), red earth at the base and the Southern Cross. He intends to make the risen sun a special Australian symbol on the flag. He believes it represents life. The Southern Cross shows that we live in the Southern Hemisphere. (半球)Maria Ieraci, SydneyMaria deleted the Union Jack but otherwise kept the flag as is with the Southern Cross and Federation Star. She says, There is only one correct way to change the Australian flag” and that is “to drop the Union Jack - when Australia becomes a Republic”, which she hopes will be before 2010.Ron Bennett, SydneyRon recommends using the Aboriginal colors but replacing their image of the sun with the map of Australia. He says, “Australia is unique being an island continent with an instantly recognizable outline at that” and “this will leave no doubt as to which country the flag belongs.”36.

A former British ruler C. group of stars D. A former symbol of AustraliaB After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didnt have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my fathers, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant. I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really a mazed at what I saw. Most curious of all, there was no quality control at all. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, and even a sleeve sometimes! The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadnt gone on strike. Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly（组装）line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as Big Jim, who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasnt fired. After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings.39. The shirts from Mr. Hobbs factory can be described as _.Aof low quality Bof high quality Cfashionable Dunfashionable40. Why did Mr. Hobbs ask the writer to the factory?AThe factory was too big.BThe factory was not producing fast enough.ks5uCThe factory was not big enough.DThe writer was a college graduate.41. Which is not likely to happen in the factory?AThe workers will have more rest in the day. BSomeone will examine the final product.CNew machines will be bought. DThe factory will be repainted.42. Big Jim may get fired mainly because _.Ahe was slow Bhe wasted much timeChe was absent-minded Dthe work flow was irregularCMore Chinese are seeking out the surgeons knife to improve their looks.Yet the tragic death of the former Super Girl Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery, which is becoming increasingly popular. Wang Bei，24，is said to have gone under the knife in Wuhan，to jump-start her stage-show career. It seems that the ambitious singer has finally achieved the fame and influence after her death. For years Miss Lu expected a plastic surgery to make her jaw fashionable narrow and her face smaller. She finally decided against it after hearing of the death of Wang Bei. Wang Beis death rang the warning bell for me，Miss Lu said in her blog. It was frightening and I gave up the plan. A common thread of online discussion is why someone considered beautiful was so dissatisfied with her looks. Some netizens said Wang was a victim of societys impractical standard of beauty：double eyelids，and the pointed chin typical of Western actresses. Others said her death indicated the limits to which people would go to achieve fame and fortune. ks5u Last year 15 billion yuan was spent on cosmetic surgery and the figure is expected to rise 20 annually. The International Society of Plastic Surgery ranks China first in Asia in terms of the number of cosmetic surgeries in 2009. Worldwide, China is third, after Brazil, while the United States is first. Nowadays，people are living longer and better. But the effect of aging off their appearance affects their mood and confidence. Many older women want to look young and beautiful. Young people, on the other hand, see cosmetic surgery as the key to wealth and love. They want to improve their appearance to find better opportunities at work and in marriage，says a famous plastic surgeon. Were living in a highly competitive society. People regard appearance as a weapon in life battle. Those who are young and naturally good-looking tell me，I dont care how much I spend. Just make me look more beautiful.

Now one man says they are wrong. Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape, thundered a magazine article last year. Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead. But theres a growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the worlds environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting cleaner. The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the bad news culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse. Now the attacks are increasingly coming from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups with profits of hundreds of mil-lions of pounds a year are using scare tactics(谋略)to gain donations. Lom
