There have been small protests at the French retail giant’s stores in several Chinese cities, including Beijing, in the past week, but the latest outburst in the eastern coastal city of Qingdao came after state media moved to cool down the nationalistic fervor(热情).
Chinese Internet users are calling on consumers to boycott Carrefour, which they accuse of supporting pro-Tibetan independence groups seeking to disrupt this year’s Beijing Olympics.
Local Media photos showed the protesters holding up banners that read “Boycott France, Support the Olympics” and “Oppose Tibet independence, Love the motherland”.
They waved red Chinese flags and shouted slogans, attracting a big crowd of onlookers. One photo showed a man burning a French flag.
Chinese Internet message boards have also featured photos from Hefei, capital city of the eastern province of Anhui, where several “elementary school students” staged a protest with a banner reading “ Oppose Carrefour, Shopping is shameful”.
France has tried to play down calls for a boycott French goods, saying they were being made by a “very small minority” and Carrefour, which has more than 100 supermarkets in China, has restated its support for Beijing’s hosting of the Olympics. Some Chinese newspapers have also run commentaries against the boycott, saying in the era of globalization it would only hurt Chinese employees and suppliers.

There are two key elements to Nadal's victories over Federer--speed and left-handed ground strokes.
If tennis court surfaces get any faster, left-handed Rafeal Nadal, may eventually dominate(支配) right-handed Roger Federer, for the simple reason that left-handed sportsmen in general have naturally quicker instinctive responses.
French sports researchers, led by Dr. Guy Azemar, are convinced, after 15 years of experiments, that the growing domination of left-handers in tennis can no longer be put down to their unorthodox(非正统的) technique. They say that everything points to left-handers having several thousandths of a second more time to react.
The researchers were struck by the disproportionate(不相称的) success of left-handers. Left-handers dominate at the top although 90 percent of people are right-handed. Of the world's 200 top tennis players, 16 percent are left-handed but five of the top 20 and three of the top four

are left-handers. Federer, therefore, is considered to be an exception--a right-hander who can make up with technique what he loses in instinctive responses.
Dr. Azemar is convinced that the advantage is explained by the way messages are carried from the brain. “We want to show that the sorts of information needed in sport-speed and direction of attack-are treated by the right-hand side of the brain which handles the organization of time and space,” he said. “With left-handers the message is transmitted direct to the left-hand side of the brain first, the side which treats logic. Then it is passed to the other side causing a loss of thousandths of seconds.”
59. It is implied in the first two paragraphs that ______. . A. Nadal is a better player than Federer B. Nadal can play as well as Federer
C. Federer has naturally quicker instinctive reactions D. Nadal has naturally quicker instinctive reactions

高考资源网高考资源网day. Don’t substitute for juice. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize（新陈代谢） fat more effectively.

Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking ice cold water? ●Eat 5 times a day
Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please don’t skip this meal as you’ll end up swallowing everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don’t need to gobble up 5 large meals. Eat sensibly so your body doesn’t crave for food. ●Use weights
Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can’t expect to sit on the couch all day, sip water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights.

It’s better to substitute the huge bowls you usually use for small ones – when food starts to fall off, you’ll know it’s enough. Try to get these new bowls in dark colours. Dark blue will be your best choice since it is the number one colour that fights off the appetite. Avoid red/orange/yellow colours in your dining area – they are the ones making your appetite go sky high.
●Read between lines
Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream “Buy me! Buy me!”. They could be “fat free” but they could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyse the nutrition label on the cover. Find out what’s good for you and what isn’t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched.
●Don’t punish yourself
Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there’s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.

Kunta wondered why the white people had done this to him. Born a free man, he was now in chains. Heavy iron chains around his feet and hands were fixed to a metal bar that ran round the hall about ten centimeters off the ground. He was just able to lie down on the ground, but could not stand up.
Kunta had been seized in the forest and then hit on the head with a hard object. When he woke up, his hands and feet had already been tied together. What shocked him most was that the men who carried him were black. He reasoned with them, and tried to persuade them to set him free. But they would not listen to him. When they came to the river, a white man was waiting in the boat for them. There was an argument about money, so it seemed, in a language that Kunta did not understand. Finally, Kunta was thrown into the bottom of the boat and covered with an old smelly cloth. The men took him in their boat to the castle on the coast where he was now held prisoner.
Another thing which shocked Kunta was that women were held in the castle too. He could hear their crying, also children’s voices. What was to become of them all, he wondered. For all his life, he had known that people suddenly disappeared from their villages. He had known that it was

not safe to travel alone in the forest near the coast. But why did white people want to catch Africans and put them in chains? Would they be killed or even eaten? The situation seemed hopeless and he knew his life was in danger.
Worse was to come. A few days later about 140 black people were taken and put on a tall sailing ship waiting off the coast. Once on the boat, they were taken below and their chains were fixed to two bars that ran the length of the ship. Their feet were fixed to one bar and their hands to another bar. Thus they lay on hard wooden boards, unable to stand up or move around.
The sea journey lasted over sixty days and nights. They had rough weather and Kunta’s back bled from rolling over on the hard wooden boards. Many of the men fell sick with fever. They sighed and cried out for more water, but food and water were only given out once a day. Once in a while sailors came down, Kunta thought, to carry sick men upstairs for treatment. When the ship finally arrived in a port, the wooden cover was opened wide and Kunta could see in daylight for the first time across the part of the ship where he had been chained. About a third of the people who had been chained up below at the beginning of the journey were missing.
