A US billionaires are back on top with Microsoft founder Bill Cates again the world's richest man in a year when even billionaires felt the heat of the global recession, Forbes magazine said Wednesday.
The wealthy few did not escape big shocks this year, with net worth on the list of 793 billionaires - down from l ,125 billionaires in 2008 - plummeting t0 2. 4 trillion dollars from 4. 4trillion , Forbes said
“The biggest news today is that we are here and there still are billionaires,\" Forbes spokeswoman Monie Begley joked at a press conference
The much-watched annual rich list put Gates back on top with a net worth of 40 billion dollars, although, he saw his bank balance lose 18 billion over the last 12 months. In second came investor Warren Buffett with 37 billion dollars, despite losing 25 billion dollars this year in the value of his Berkshire Hathaway shares. Also losing 25 billion dollars, Mexican telecoms king Carlos Slim still managed to come in third with 35 billion dollars.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, at number 17, was notable as the only top 20 members to see a net gain. That was not because of his salary, which is a symbolic one dollar a year, but thanks to re-evaluation of Bloomberg financial news agency after the mayor bought a 20 percent stake from Merrill Lynch last year for 4. 5 billion dollars.
About 64 percent of the billionaires are self-made and their average age is 63. 7 , a slight rise resulting from the lower number of rich Russians and Chinese, whose average ages last year were 46 and 48.
By contrast with that aging trend. Gates is a relatively youthful 53. The youngest billionaire prize this year goes to Albert von Thurn und Taxis of Germany, who is 25 and listed as having 2. 1 billion dollars. But one of the young success stories from last year - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg - dropped off the list altogether.
51．Of all the millionaires mentioned above, who didn' t lose in the global recession?
A．Bill Gates. B．Warren Buffett. C．Carlos Slim. D．Michael Bloomberg.
52．The sentence \"The biggest news today is that we are here and there still are billionaires\" may probably mean _______.
A．the number of billionaires in 2009 is much smaller than that in 2008
B．the number of billionaires in 2009 is a bit larger than that in 2008
C．there are many billionaires in America, which is the biggest news today D．the biggest news is that many billionaires are at the press conference
53．How many billion dollars did the US billionaires lose in 2008 altogether mentioned in the paragraph 4?
A．18. B．25. C．43. D．50. 54．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Self-Made Billionaires C．Bill Gates Back on Top Again
B．What Made Billionaires
D．Biggest Gainer and Biggest Loser

The \"Earth Hour\" initiative(自发行动) started in Australia' s biggest city Sydney last year when an estimated 2. 2 million
people flicked the switch - leaving the Sydney Opera House bathed in moonlight and the Harbor Bridge blacked out.[来源:学科网]
Organizer Andy Ridley said Sydney ' s 60 minutes of darkness generated huge interest around the world and 23 other cities from the Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and the Middle East had now signed up to be part of the 2008 event.
The eight latest cities to join \"Earth Hour\" are Atlanta, San Francisco and Phoenix in the US; Thailand's capital Bangkok; Ottawa, Vancouver and Montreal in Canada and Dublin in Ireland.
They joined Australian cities Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide; Denmark's Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg and Odense; the Philippine capital Manila, Fiji ' s biggest city Suva. Christchurch in New Zealand; Chicago; Tel Aviv and Toronto.
Ridley said he expected the \"Earth Hour\" concept, which is managed by the conservation group WWF, to extend beyond the borders of these countries on the scheduled start time of 8:00 p. m. local time on Saturday March 29.
“ I think it already has become much bigger,\" he said. \"The idea was that anyone could do it, whether they were in a small village in France or a city like Sydney. \"
Ridley said the Sydney event, in which residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raided awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy.
\"I know that on the night we thought we might be able to cut energy use in the city by five percent but it ended up being 10. 1 percent,\" he said.
He said he hoped Earth Hour provided a \"very big visual message\" to politicians that climate change must be addressed quickly.
“The problem is massive but we do make a difference when we all take action,\" he said. 55．The purpose of the \"Earth Hour\" activity is _____ .
A．to conserve energy
B．to change the climate

There is a saying in France that states, \"The government could fall, the Louvre （卢浮宫）could be broken into or creatures from other planets could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice．\" The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world．It begins in July and runs for three weeks．Cyclists who race in the Tour de France ride in six legs or stages of the race, and they have between one to four days of rest between each leg of the race．The rider who completes all six legs of the race in the shortest overall time wins．

The Tour de France has developed several special honors for which racers compete．Above all, the highest honor is the \" yellow jersey\"．Mr．Desgranges introduced the yellow jersey in 1919 to show the leading racer each rider's total time in order to find the racer with the lowest time．That racer wears the yellow jersey during the day's race．Other honors include the \"green
jersey \" which is given to the rider who sprints the best by riding the fastest over short distances, and the \"polka dot jersey\" for the best rider in the mountains along the route． 59．Who wins the Tour de France?

A rise in the number of suicides（自杀）in South Korea has led policeman Yoo Byong-jong to a new job. He patrols（巡逻）Seoul’s bridges to prevent desperate people throwing themselves into the river.
According to South Korea’s health ministry, suicide rates have doubled in a decade and are now the leading cause of death for people in their 20s and 30s.
The country has the fourthhighest suicide rate among the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development．It recorded 22.8 suicide deaths for every 100, 000 people in 2003.That's lower than Hungary，Finland and close neighbor Japan .But the number is growing by about 1 percent each year，faster than for all other OECD nations.
In a move to cut suicides by a fifth by 2010，the health ministry is running a television ad campaign. It opens with a lonely man walking on a bridge. A voiceover says，“Think five minutes more before you give it all away...Don't forget you have a loving family.” Other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors. Authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic(有毒的)chemicals.
Distressed individuals range from students worried about poor grades to people in debt as well as disgraced politicians. Exports say the rising number in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent highprofile suicides. These include top business leaders and celebrities(名人)who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.
“We saved 50 lives this year when people turned to bridges as a place to die after news reports of such deaths by ‘big shots’，” said the 38yearold Yoo，in December.
Last July，the government and civil associations urged media to avoid reporting specific methods and locations of suicides. But it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.
67．The passage is mainly about ______.
A．desperation problems in Korea B．suicide problems in Korea
C．how to reduce suicides in Korea D．the relations between life and suicide 68．Suicide rates in South Korea .
A．arouse international concerns B．are going from bad to worse
C．didn’t draw special attention of the government
D．have done great harm to the economical development
69．Lowering the number of reported suicides by celebrities in the media in Korea ______.
A．will be limited
B．damage the fame of media
C．didn't affect people's daily life.
D．might cause fewer people to commit suicide 70．From the passage, we can infer that . A．authorities manage websites efficiently
B．present hotlines are not enough for suicide counselors
C．cutting suicides by a fifth by 2010 is easy to carry out
D．people choose suicide as the way to end their lives for a lack of love
