President Barack Obama has arrived in Cuba for a historic visit to the island and talks with its communist leader. He is the first sitting US president to visit since the 1959 revolution.
Speaking at the reopened US embassy in Havana, he called the visit “historic”. He also spent time in the old city.
Mr Obama will meet President Raul Castro, but not retired revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, and the pair will discuss trade and political reform. The US president emerged smiling from Air Force One with First Lady Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia. Holding umbrellas, the party walked in light drizzle along a red carpet to be greeted by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.
Two hours after landing, Mr Obama greeted staff from the US embassy with the words: “It is wonderful to be here”.
“Back in 1928, President [Calvin] Coolidge came on a battleship. It took him three days to get here, it only took me three hours. For the first time ever, Air Force One has landed in Cuba and this is our very first stop.”
President Obamas visit is the highpoint of a recent easing of ties, which included the opening of embassies last year. But only hours before his arrival, protesters calling for the release of political prisoners were arrested in the capital, Havana. Police took away dozens of demonstrators from the Ladies in White group, formed of political prisoners wives, from outside a church where they attempt to hold weekly protests.

The global economic slowdown and improved personal incomes at home have led to a decline in the need and supply for Chinese workers overseas.
“We had about 10,000 Chinese workers in Africa from 2011 to 2014, but the number has now declined to around 1,000,” said Cui Hao, deputy general manager of the Overseas Engineering Company of China Tiesiju Civil Engineering Group.
Headquartered in Hefei, Anhui province, CTCE Group is a major player in the construction sector overseas, especially in Africa.
Cui said one of the major causes for the drop is the completion of its social welfare housing project in Angola last year. The project, with a contract value of more than $2.1 billion, provided jobs to more than 8,000 Chinese laborers.
“Recently acquired projects on the continent are mainly the construction of roads and railways, which rely more on machines than humans,” said Cui.
The drop in exported labor was also witnessed by Hefeis Feidong county, which has been the largest source of overseas workers in the province for decades.
“In 2012, at the peak, the county saw as many as 15,000 migrant workers overseas, but the number dropped to around 13,000 last year,” said Guan Shaohua, deputy director of the bureau of commerce in Feidong, which has a population of about 1 million.
“About 80 percent of the workers are employed in the construction sector.”
According to Guan, the countys overseas workers earned about 1.5 billion yuan ($229 million) last year, and are one of the major buyers of local apartments.
Cui said the number of CTCE Groups Chinese employees in Africa is the lowest since the companys largescale entry into the continent in 2008.
“Influenced by the global economic slowdown, many countries have been troubled with climbing unemployment rates. As a result, more and more of them have started to limit the employment of Chinese workers, which was not seen years ago,” said Cui. B. The economy is growing at its fastest pace.
C. Most thirdtier cities see onyear prices rise.
D. Its easy for new families to afford a home.
47. According to Rosealea Yao, .
A. house prices in thirdtier cities will increase
B. house prices in thirdtier cities will decrease
C. the government is discouraging house sales
D. the government is encouraging house sales
48. Which is one of the factors resulting in high house prices in firsttier cities?
A. A slowing economy means there are few jobs in big cities.
B. Ordinary investors are putting money into house markets.
C. House prices in thirdtier cities are still decreasing.
D. People do not want to buy big houses in big cities.
49. What does the underlined word “abated” refer to?

Do you have an A4 waist? The topic is trending on the Chinese social media site Weibo, and 110,000 users have posted photos holding pieces of A4 paper, measuring 827 inches wide, up to their waists and tagging “I Have An A4 Waist”. If they can hide their waists behind the paper, they consider themselves “fit.” One user bragged, “Im a size smaller than A4. Im A5.”
Luckily, some sane Weibo users have put the trend under fire. Critics have posted photos holding the paper horizontally, putting it on small pets, or holding up oversize pieces of poster board instead. “So are they insinuating smaller is better?” one Twitter user wrote. “Not cool to offend the girls who dont measure up in this manner.”
While the average healthy waist measurement is 32.5 inches for women and 35 inches for men, the trend doesnt stack up against healthy bodies.
Even some of historys most coveted bodies dont make the cut when an A4size rectangle is put against their bodies to scale. We nominated Gigi Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Marilyn Monroe, and Naomi Campbell to step up to the plate. With their diverse body types ranging from supercurvy to thin and athletic, very petite to statuesque, and with waistlines ranging from 22 to 265 inches, only Marilyn Monroe with her tiny 22inch waist passed the A4 challenge.
