If you are a modern art lover, you should be sure to drop by the Saatchi Gallery during your visit to London．The original gallery was by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother．It moved from its old in St．John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.

Anyone who has heard in the past of the often shocking but always inspiring works on at the Saatchi Gallery will not be when visiting the gallery’s new location．Along with the of new British artists, the gallery still the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent .

Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most ．Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he art from dead animals.

Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery．It was through Saatchi these two brothers came to public attention．At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’ vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.

Another artist featured at the gallery who has grabbed with her art is Tracy Emin．In 1998, Emin gave to argument when she sold her messy, unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art My Bed at ￡150, 000.

Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for when you visit the Saatchi Gallery．Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for art．Sometimes you look and don’t feel very with it—but that doesn’t tell you very much．It doesn’t reveal much about the quality of the work.”

Considering Australia' s size and the fact that early settlements were far apart, Australian society is remarkably homogeneous ( 同種的). Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.

However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people. Almost 90 percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage, but on the whole the impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the country' s youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have "ridden on the sheep' s back" , a reference to wool being the country' s main money earner. However, it is no longer dominant ( 主宰的) . Much of Australia' s relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a modest sense of humor.

Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australia' s liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe. The emphasis has changed in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a "mixture of nations" and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.

1.What does the writer mean by saying "It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents." in the first paragraph?

A. Australians speak Standard English with no local accents.

B. You have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents.

C. The Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed.

D. There is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.

B. The Australian economy counts on sheep exports.

C. The pace of life is different in the city and in the country.

D. The majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.

3. We can infer from the passage that ____.

A. nothing about Australia' s colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitors

B. tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only

C. immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems

D. Australia' s recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia

4.This passage mainly focuses on Australia’s_______________.

A. society B. economy

C. racial problems D. history

More college graduates in China are seeking for work experience instead of advanced degrees, a survey shows. The practical approach, coupled with a record number of students graduating from college, is expected to strengthen competition in the job market, analysts said.

More than 76 percent of university students said they wanted to work after earning their degrees this summer, up from 68.5 percent in 2012 and 73.6 percent last year, according to poll results from Zhaopin.com, a major online agency, Zhu Bo.
