Bush said in Beijing on Friday that both China and the United
32、States should encourage bilateral contacts and exchanges to promote mutual understanding. “Its important for our political leaders to come to China,“ said Bush, who gave a speech on Friday morning at Qinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China. His working visit to China an
33、d discussions with Qinghua students “help promote“ Sine-US relations, Bush said in response to a students question about what he would do to promote Sine-US relations. “Many people in my country are very interested in China,“ he said, adding that these Americans want to learn more about Chinas cultu
34、re and the Chinese people. He said that he would keep encouraging such contacts and exchanges between the two countries. Bush said that he would describe back home what he had seen here and that China as a great nation not only has a “great history“ but also an “unbelievably exciting future.“ The pr
35、esident said that the 2008 Olympic Games would make a significant opportunity for the rest of the world to understand China, which enables more people to come to China and feel the modernization taking place, and many more people will see it on the television. Bush arrived in Beijing on Thursday for
36、 a two-day working visit to China. 57 What does the word “prestigious“ in the second paragraph probably mean? （ A） great （ B） famous （ C） honorable （ D） modest 58 Which of the sentences is NOT true? （ A） Bush thinks bilateral contacts and mutual understanding will promote Sine-US relations. （ B） Man

Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicin
40、e to the patient-no matter where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by
41、 using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly practical to send a patients important signs over the telephone.

The government managed to host the 2008 Ol
49、ympics. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008. Hundreds of millions of dollars will be spent piping natural gas to the citys homes and taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60, 000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas. The money will also be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green belts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijin
