ew land against their will. From the 150039。s to the 180039。s Europeans shipped black Africans to the Western Hemisphere as slaves. The United Kingdom transported prisoners to Australia from the late 1700s to the 1860s to relieve over crowding in British jails. Before that time, the United Kingdom sent prisoners to the American colonies. Immigrants have made enormous contributions to the culture and economy of such nations as Australia, Canada, New Zealand the United States.

D A popular CCTV host’s “improper remarks” that were caught on video at a dinner party have led to an investigation into the incident and a suspension of his programs. The video, released online on Monday, showed host Bi Fujian using vulgar words about Chairman Mao Zedong while singing in the style of Peking Opera, enraging(激怒) some izens and causing a stir on the Inter. CCTV said on its micro blog on Wednesday that it will investigate the incident, which it said many have found disturbing. Bi’s programs will stop being broadcast until at least Sunday, as his ments in the video have seriously damaged the broadcaster’s image, Huaxi Metropolis Daily quoted a CCTV staff member as saying. The CCTV employee said it is uncertain whether the programs can be broadcast again after Sunday, the report added. Bi, 56, is popular for a hosting style that engages the audience. He has hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala since 2021, as well as a popular talent show involving Westerners speaking Chinese. The cancellation was the first decision after Nie Chenxi was named CCTV president on Tuesday, the report said, adding that Nie had ordered all staff members to strictly correct work styles. A microblogger named Zhou Junchi said that free speech doesn’t mean it is OK to defame others, adding that Bi’s ments were not proper for a popular host. Cheng Manli, a professor specializing in munication at Peking University, echoed Zhou, saying Bi should pay more attention to his behavior and speech as a public figure. “It does not mean we cannot share our opinions, but using ugly words and sarcasm to ment on Chinese leaders who have passed away is improper,” Cheng said. “The actions and words of celebrities are easily broadened in today’s Inter era, which is open and can have a huge influence, so it is a must for the public figures to boost the quality of their speech and behavior. Otherwise, their images will be affected, such as the stars who were recently punished for drug use,” she said. “Everyone should take responsibility for what he or she says in public and online. It’s better, I think, to share different ideas in a normal way,” she suggested. But she added that the party in the video seemed private, “so its release is also improper to some extent.” The video was recorded by someone sitting on Bi’s right, but who it is and why the video was put online is unknown. 32.

Bi Fujian’s program will be stopped forever B. the incident happened before the new CCTV president’s arrival C. the video was recorded when Bi Fujian was working in a program D. Huaxi Metropolis Daily thinks the incident damages CCTV’s image 34. As is mentioned in the passage, Chen Manli holds the view that________. A. Bi Fujian should be severely punished B. a celebrity’s influence can be enlarged through the Inter C. public figures should not share their opinions D. it is all right to release private video of a celebrity 35. The underlined word “boost” probably means “_________ ”.
