BBEIJING, March 9- The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles( 车辆) for ministers and governors to reduce the costs of purchasing(buying) new cars, media have reported. The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule has not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference National Committee. Under the old rules, the car used by minister-level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also continue to keep the same cars when they assume new posts, he added. The new rule also said that officials ranking below minister-or governor-levels should not be allocated（分配） cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.“It is against the rules for lower-ranking-even county-level-officials to be allocated cars,” Li said.Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large amount of money of public funds every year. A survey on the Web news www. ifeng.com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to carry out because it is related to officials interests. “Local government departments had stopped approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to work on new limits under the new rules,” Li said. “The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market mechanisms and monetization(货币化).”Premier Wen Jiabao said in the annual government work report on Saturday that the amount of money on such vehicles will not increase in 2011 compared with a year ago. Beijings standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal(市政的) government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.Earlier this month, the Ministry of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles. 65. What is the purpose of the new rule allocating vehicles among officials? A. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle. B. To cut down the present huge costs of purchasing cars. C. To make good use of the budgets for official cars. D. To solve the problem of severe traffic jam. 66. How often could the cars used by minister-level officials be replaced according to the new rule? A. Every 3 years.B. Every 5 years. C. Every 8 years.D. Every 10 years.67. What about the officials ranking below minister-or-governor levels in terms of official vehicles? A. They can still possess special cars.B. They can use their own private car. C. They can use cars whenever officially necessary. D. They can be allocated second-hand cars.68. What is the publics attitude toward whether the new rule can be carried out? A. Doubtful.B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent.D. Passive(not active). 69. From the passage, we can infer that _. A. the government is determined to carry out the new rule B the new rule has not yet been made public C. the new rule will benefit officials interests D. the new rule is applied to minister-level officialsC Become a professional dog trainer, dog walker or pet sitter with our expert education and lifetime business support.

We can read the passage in the _ part of a newspaper. A. entertainmentB. advertisementC. scienceD. business D.Little Lopsy fluttered(拍翅) into our home and our hearts one Saturday morning this summer. My husband went out to do something, and when he opened the door there was a great flutter on the ground and something came into the living room. It was clear that whatever it was was hurt.I was in a bit of a shock and didnt know what to do next. Fortunately it calmed down and tried to hide itself in a corner. I realized it was a sparrow chick(小鸟). There are a few sparrow nests under the roof of our apartment, and this little fellow must have fallen out and hurt itself. It was also very young, and obviously far from ready to leave the safety of the nest.I ran to the place and found a box. Having read somewhere that one shouldnt touch a baby bird with ones hands, I picked the chick up with a hand towel and put it in the box. I placed the box outside the front door in the hope that the parents would try to feed it. They never came near it and I brought it inside. I placed the box on a table and it slept for about twenty hours. We later learned that it is quite normal for a hurt bird to sleep so much after undergoing such a hurt experience.When it finally woke up we carefully examined it for wounds, but fortunately there wasnt any. It had hurt its right wing and leg, which meant it must have landed on its right side when it fell out of the nest. We named it Lopsy.After doing some research we felt there was a chance that it might survive, but we werent sure that it would ever be able to fly. A hurt bird doesnt stand much of a chance of survival and could fall easy pray(猎物) to cats, other animals. Was it fair to allow it to live if it meant keeping it in a cage its whole life? It was a hard decision, but we decided to give it a go. We started off by dripping drops of water into its mouth. It was very thirsty and drank quite a bit. Next we fed it with bread soaked in water.
