Coal mine accidents are frequently headline makers in China, offering a plentiful supply of long lists of the dead. Before this, five major coal mine accidents since January have already claimed lives of 287 coal miners. Once an accident happens, the safety measures are scrutinized, officials and owners responsible are punished or warned or fined. But the accidents keep happening time and again. The background of this endless disaster is a country thirsty for energy to satisfy the appetite of its economic engine. With the rich reserve (储存) of coal and relatively limited petroleum (石油) reserve, the former makes up 67.12 percent of energy consumption. By contrast, petroleum and natural gas take about 60 percent of the energy consumption in other countries. Such a situation is unlikely to change within a foreseeable future because the country still counts heavily on coal for more and more energy. If no measures with great effects are taken to improve the safety in the mines, the accidents will remain a long-term headache for China. Digging coal underground is, by its nature, a dangerous job. No equipment can guarantee 100 percent safety for the miners working underground because numerous uncertainties exist. Most of China's coal mines are far from being mechanized. The average output of coal for each Chinese coal miner every day is 1 ton, while the number in the US coal mines, where the production is highly mechanized, is 40 tons. Mechanized production in coal mines can cut down the number of miners who have to work on the dangerous coal face. It can also enhance the capability of the mines to detect potential danger. In this way mine accidents will be decreased. Admittedly, the mechanized production demands financial support. But what is the price of a life, or a dozen, a score-a hundred? Compare these awful figures with the misery they bring, heavy investment is worthy. |

1. Birth of Jesus This is how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. When Mary his mother was engaged to Joseph, before they were married, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was a righteous man. Because he didn’t want to humiliate her, he decided to call off their engagement quietly. As he was thinking about this, an angel from the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because the child she carries was conceived by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you will call him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Now all of this took place so that what the Lord had spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled: Look! A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, And they will call him, Emmanuel. (Emmanuel means “God with us.”) When Joseph woke up, he did just as an angel from God commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he didn’t have sexual relations with her until she gave birth to a son. Joseph called him Jesus. They had to travel to the city of Bethlehem to register for a census ordered by the Roman emperor, Caesar Augustus. Both Nazareth and Bethlehem are in the country now called Israel. It is about 65 miles (105 km) from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and the trip probably took them several days. When Joseph and Mary got to Bethlehem, there was no place for them to stay because the inn was already full. They ended up spending the night in a stable, a place where animals were kept. There was probably fresh hay on the floor that they used for beds. That night, Jesus was born. There was no crib, so they laid baby Jesus in a manger, a feeding trough for animals. The manger probably had fresh hay in it and made a nice bed for the baby. 2. What do you think the underlined word is in the passage?
A、A kind of animal
B、A kind of furniture
C、A kind of food
D、A kind of flavor
