17、st qualified city for holding the Olympic Games in the whole country? B: Yes, it may be the best candidate in China, but in no way good enough or better than other cities in the world you see.

18、ut it. B: The first thing is traffic. Living in Beijing, we have all suffered from the serious traffic jams for so many years.

25、people throughout the whole China. B: Of course it did. You see people havent recovered from the nightmare of SARS in the summer of 2003. Its a nightmare in Chinas modem history, too.

I dont think so! Its a matter of life and death! A: OK, OK. Dont be nervous! I really want to hear something

30、about it. B: I experienced something unique during that special time myself. The first thing is that everyone wore a mask and they never stood close to each other when talking. Once I saw a group of old people talking to each other in a yard. They stood very far away from each other, at least two me

31、ters, and spoke quite loud. And in a circle with nobody close to anyone else. A: Ah, thats just like the game we played in childhooddiushoujuan you see.

32、he western style with one portion for each person. B: Yes, but it doesnt last long actually. As we all can see, now Chinese people have returned to the traditional way of eating.

34、nly a few pedestrians on the streets and several buses carrying two or three passengers. B: Worse than that. Sometimes the driver and the conductor were the only passengers on the bus.

36、: Todays newspaper releases an article entitled “Was 2005 the Year of Natural Disasters?“ which is very impressive. B: Whats it about?

37、ooding in the U.S. city of New Orleans, and the earthquake in Pakistan and India. The year also saw famine after crops were destroyed by locusts in Niger. B: Oh, yes, tsunamis, hurricanes and typhoons, earthquakes, locusts and now the threat of a flu pandemic. Perhaps 2005 will be remembered as the

38、year of natural disasters. A: Well, some disasters experts reject the term “natural disasters“, arguing that there is almost always a man-made element. B: The worlds population has increased enormously. Perhaps that can account for the reason why natural disasters appear to be increasingly frequent

39、and increasingly deadly. A: Really, while earthquakes represent some of the most devastating disasters in recent years, these are diminishing in strength compared with earlier times. Nowadays an earthquake with a magnitude of 8, 9 or 10 on the Richter scale is rare, the one in south Asia in October

40、2005 was 7.6, but yes, we are seeing a lot of damage. You will probably find more damage in the future for phenomena that are less in magnitude than in previous years. B: Disasters might as well be a consequence of development and industrialization. In Europe, experts believe that countries such as

41、France and Germany are more adversely affected by floods today because major rivers, such as the Rhine, have been straightened to ease commercial traffic. A: Thats true. Some communities are more vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters than 100 years ago because of ecological degradation. In

42、many countries, people cut down trees because wood is the cheapest fuel. Then, when tropical storms hit the Caribbean in September 2004, for instance, there was nothing to stop storm waters gathering and wreaking devastation in Haiti because of deforestation. B: Experts agree that the poor are dispr

43、oportionately hit. In several of these countries, the poor people are looking for spaces to build their houses or their communities. And they find those spaces that are not already used are usually the spaces at higher risk for natural phenomena. Theres a huge relationship between this kind of damage and poverty. A: Yes, we need to tackle the underlying issues, such as poverty and inequity. B: The experts say todays disasters stem from a complex mix of factors, including routine climate change, global warming influenced by human behavior, socioeconomic factors causing poorer people t
