It was a very good year for the Global 500, new-comers and old-comers alike. But can it last
Think of FORTUNE’s Global 500 as a candid family portrait, a statistical snapshot of the world’s largest corporations assembled shoulder to shoulder, frozen in time. So it is that this year, in the waning light of the 20th century, our reunion photo captures an optimistic scene: a rosy business landscape populated by jolly corporate giants--healthy, happy, and fat. After stumbling amidst the economic turmoil of 1998, the companies of the Global 500 recovered gracefully in 1999. Their total revenues increased 10.6% the best top-line growth in four years, and profits surged 26%.
Many of last year’s leaders are once again ahead of the pack. General Motors (No. 1) held tight to its position atop the revenue rankings. (2) But Wal-Mart Stores, fourth last year, rose to No. 2, aided by its $10.7 billion purchase of Britain’s Asda Group (formerly No. 354).
A. 7.
B. 10.
C. 14.
D. 20.

[单项选择]The year 2005 was a good year for me. I came to China and started teaching English. I’ve also met a lot of nice people and seen a lot of new, interesting things. But for many people 2005 was a disaster. The earth got angry and destroyed the lives of thousands.

The earth got angry again in late summer when a hurricane (飓风) drowned the American city of New Orleans. Luckily, not many people died but hundreds of thousands had their lives turned upside down.
And, finally, in October, the earth shook. A giant earthquake (地震) in Pakistan killed tens of thousands of people and destroyed the homes of millions more.
When the earth gets angry there is nothing we can do. It’s a good reminder for man to remain humble.A. 事件。
B. 消息。
C. 灾难。
