Digging a Hole in China's Black Gold.
China's love affair with coal is set to last, but for investors the romance has come out of the relationship.
For the last few years, investors in China's coal section have been mining a rich seam(煤层). From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2011, the level Qinhuangdao coal price rose 81%, supporting strong growth in profitability (利润)and enviable degree at mining majors like China Shenhua Energy.
But as any miner will tell you, the longer you work a seam, the more difficult it is to get value. China's coal prices have fallen nearly 10% in the last three months. A seasonal fall from the winter peak, and a cyclical（周期性的）slowdown brought about by China's slowing construction and money tightening, is only part of the picture. Those effects will fade, but coal miners will still have to battle against structural pressure for lower prices.
In 2008, China's 60 biggest miners the efficient excellences from a section with 9,000-plus firms accounted for just over half of civil production. Since then, the big have gotten bigger and the small are disappearing. Michael Parker, coal mining analyst at Sanford Bernstein, estimates in 2012 the top 60 miners will account for 80% of output. The assumption has always been that it's the very low-cost little mining operations that will go to the wall, pushing prices up. In fact, Mr. Parker argues that it's small industrial operations working difficult seams, and with poor access to convey that will be the first to go. The exit of these high-cost means that spot prices will increasingly be set by bigger more efficient producers and that means pressure for prices to stay low.
With structural forces against a return to rising coal prices, investors in China's black gold should dig a huge stone hit their foot into a hole.

Joan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States ，where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in two countries? It’s an interesting story.
Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio (制片厂) came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however she discovered that she really
liked acting. At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize.
In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows.
One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a movie called Tai - pan. The interview didn't go well. As she walked away, a man in
a car noticed her. The man was Dino DeLaurntiis, the film’s producer. He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she started in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.
1. What was turn about Joan Chen when she was 14?
A. Some people came to her school and chose her as an actress.
B. She liked to study at the studio just because she wanted to be famous.
C. The most important reason for her going to the studio was that she wouldn't like to stay at school.
D. She found she was fond of acting even before she was 14.
答案解析：答案为C。

本题为细节推理题。

由第二段“When she was 14, s ome people from a film studio came to her school and chose her to study at the studio…”可知，A错误；由“…but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school…”可以推断，她不喜欢呆在学校, 故B选项不正确，C选项正确；由“Soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting.”可知，D选项错误。

2. When did she move to the States?
A. In the late 1970s.
B. After she graduated from college.
C. In the late 1980s.
D. In the early 1980s.
答案解析：答案为D。

本题为数字计算题。

由第三段的第一、二句“In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there.”可以推断，1961年出生的Joan Chen，20岁去上大学，此时应该是1981年，故答案为D。

3. The interview with a director ____.
A. made her on the way to being famous in the world
B. led to no immediate good result
C. made her play a leading part in Tai - pan
D. gave her a chance to act in The Last Emperor 答案解析：答案为B。

本题为推断题。

从最后一段“The interview didn't go well.”可知， C选项不正确；由“He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she started in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Las t Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame.”可知，Joan Chen出演主角是在一年后，并开始走向世界范围内的成功之路，故A，D不正确；答案为B ，参加director的面试并没立刻产生好的效果。
