When a dog bites a man, it usually doesn’t make news. However, this saying changed when Beijing and several other Chinese cities announced the “Civilized Dog Raising” campaign in November.
The government will require Beijingers to get licenses for their dogs, and will enforce the onedog, one family policy. Police say the “onedog policy” is aimed at reducing the number of dog bites and lowering the risk of rabies. According to the Ministry of Health, rabies has become the top infectious disease in China. Dangerous dogs and dogs taller than 35 centimetres, such as Great Danes, have been banned from urban areas.
Pet owners are also required to clean up their dogs’ droppings and make sure dogs are leashed(拴住),especially in public areas. Some public areas, such as banks, are closed to dogs entirely.
Dogs are regarded as man’s best friend and the history of raising dogs can be traced back to the Stone Age. It therefore seems sad that dogs are unwelcome in Beijing. But it is not the case that Beijingers dislike dogs. Actually, there are many dog lovers in Beijing. The city now has more than 550,000 registered dogs, up to 20 percent from the previous year.
The problem is, actually, about living space. Different from many Westerners, most Beijingers live in urban apartment buildings, not houses in the suburbs. There is very limited open space for walking dogs. The barking, the waste, and unleashed dogs in buildings, elevators and places people gather can cause fear, fights and frustration.
Beijing is not the only city to have a dog problem. Paris, London, New York and Vienna all face similar challenges and have common rules for dogs and their owners.

A.Man’s Best Friend

D.Beijing has some difficulty with so many dogs.
3.According to the passage, what should you NOT do if you are a dog owner in Beijing?
A.Walk your dog in public places.
B.Have more than one dog.
C.Raise your dog in urban apartment buildings.

Ban Kimoon was made the 8th SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations. In his speech at the ceremony of his taking office, he thanked all the Member States for placing confidence in him, and also expressed his deepest respect and appreciation to all the leaders and people of the Member States for their strong support.
His remark about the former SecretaryGeneral, who he said had guided their organization into the 21st century and had made the UN truly vital to peace, prosperity and human dignity around the world, was particularly impressive. Mr Ban Kimoon stated in his speech that he had already made up his mind to build upon the alreadymade achievements of the UN.
The new Secretary—General thinks the UN is needed now more than ever before. The UN’s major task in the previous century was to keep countries from fighting each other. In the new century, it is very clear that the UN’s most important task is to strengthen the interstate system so that humanity may be better served. We need competent（有能力的）and responsible states to meet the needs of “we the peoples” for whom the UN was created. And the world’s peoples will not be fully served unless peace, development and human rights, the three pillars of the UN, are advanced together with great efforts and equal determination.
As the new SecretaryGeneral, he is not as proud as people thought he might be. He said he was far from perfection and he would need the support, cooperation and trust from all the Member States. And he faithfully promised to serve them well, with all of his heart and to the best of his abilities.
There is also something exciting he said about young people. It’s his hope that young boys and girls of today will grow up knowing that the UN is working hard to build a better future for them. As SecretaryGeneral, he will hold their hopes and hear their demands.

Ban Kimoon was made the 8th SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations. In his speech at the ceremony of his taking office, he thanked all the Member States for placing confidence in him, and also expressed his deepest respect and appreciation to all the leaders and people of the Member States for their strong support.
His remark about the former SecretaryGeneral, who he said had guided their organization into the 21st century and had made the UN truly vital to peace, prosperity and human dignity around the world, was particularly impressive. Mr Ban Kimoon stated in his speech that he had already made up his mind to build upon the alreadymade achievements of the UN.
The new Secretary—General thinks the UN is needed now more than ever before. The UN’s major task in the previous century was to keep countries from fighting each other. In the new century, it is very clear that the UN’s most important task is to strengthen the interstate system so that humanity may be better served. We need competent（有能力的）and responsible states to meet the needs of “we the peoples” for whom the UN was created. And the world’s peoples will not be fully served unless peace, development and human rights, the three pillars of the UN, are advanced together with great efforts and equal determination.
As the new SecretaryGeneral, he is not as proud as people thought he might be. He said he was far from perfection and he would need the support, cooperation and trust from all the Member States. And he faithfully promised to serve them well, with all of his heart and to the best of his abilities.
There is also something exciting he said about young people. It’s his hope that young boys and girls of today will grow up knowing that the UN is working hard to build a better future for them. As SecretaryGeneral, he will hold their hopes and hear their demands.
