Las Ramblas is the most famous street in Barcelona. Especially in summer, thousands of tourists go the seaside by passing through this street, making it a centre of shops and bazaars. Not only can you find tourists there, but also thieves, swindlers, cops--- among whom the living statue artists are the most special group. They were covered with greasepaint（化妝油) in different colors, wearing season-disproportional clothes, standing on a pedestal for several hours without making even a single move. Are they real or fake, the guests were wondering--- and then suddenly the statues came to life, just for a few seconds to shift positions. But the movement of the statues seemed like someone just had breathed life into them. They really do look like statues, and that’s how they got their names.
Usually there is a jar or a hat in front of them. They would change to another pose whenever some tourists put a coin in the hat. You may take photos after giving a Euro, or even less, but be careful not to touch the statues, unless you want yourself to be covered in paint. It’s a really special experience, don’t you think?

A. It is a place where people come for holiday.

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year, her classmates voted her  31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (壓倒)those of anyone else in her group.
One day the 10-year-old was  33  talking in the class and ordered to stay back as  34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in which Mini 36  had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only  40  Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent （體面的）school." And she spent a good  41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（運(yùn)球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I  43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and  44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to  45  if even one of her friends would 46  to stay. But she tried again. Three  47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the  48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she  49  surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured（嘟囔） to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have  50 ."

Job interviews never seem easy.To get a job,you may have more interviews than you can count.To succeed in an interview，you should pay attention to the following common mistake.
Lack of proper preparations.Failure to gather information on the company and the job before the interview makes a very poor impression on interviews;it suggests that you are not really that interested in the position.
Inappropriate personal appearance.Consider the nature of the position and dress accordingly.When in doubt,dressing somewhat more formally than you think would be expected for the job.Be conservative and pay attention to details,such as shiny shoes,neat hair,etc.First impressions are very important.
Poor non-verbal communication.In addition to what you are saying,your non-verbal behavior is very important in an interview.Are you making eye contact?Are you listening attentively when the interviewer is speaking?Are you giving a firm handshake by the interviews?Are you nervous during the interview？Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror to assess these factors.
Poor attitude.Self-centered behavior（.i.e.a”what’s in it for me”attitude）is very poorly received by interviewers.Ask yourself what you can contribute to the company?What skills and
experience would you bring to the job？
Failure to ask questions.Employers will assess your interest in the company and the position you ask.Proper research before the interview will help ensure that the questions you ask are intelligent ones.
Being disorganized.Make sure you arrive at the company a few minutes early so that you have time to get calm and check your appearance.Arriving late is simply unacceptable，so plan for the unexpected.Always bring an extra copy of your resume and reference to an interview.
Over-or under-answering questions.For most interview questions a “Yes”or “No”answer is not appropriate.Positive more details for an employer and cite examples from personal experience wherever possible.Do not,however,talk endlessly and feel that you have to keep speaking if there’s silence.When you have said what you want to say ,stop talking.If you do not understand a Question,.seek clear explanation before responding.
Failure to send a thank-you note or card following the interview.Take the time to send the thank-you card,which can make an important impact on an employer.Not only does it show your sincere interest in the position,but it also helps make you different from other interview candidates.

D
Eight-year-old Bethany and seven-year-old Eliza are having a great time jumping around in the orchard of their home in a village near Penrith. They can play any time they like because they don't go to school. Instead, they are educated at home by their parents, Paul and Veronika Robinson. But they don't have lessons, have never used a timetable and learn only what and when they want to learn.
"I want my kids to have freedom in their childhood, not spend it in an institution," says 37-year-old Veronika, "School is all about control and following the rules." Veronika and her 56-year-old husband Paul have never experienced the daily rush to get dressed and out of the door that is common in most households with school-aged children. "We get up at our leisure - usually around 8:30," says Veronika. "We might visit a friend, or go to the library, and on Tuesdays we shop at the market. In summer, we spend most of our time outside and the girls entertain themselves a lot."
New research due to be published this spring reveals a very different picture of Britain's home educators. "Out of 297 families, 184 said that they never use a timetable," says Mike Fortune-Wood of Home Education UK. "Ninety per cent never or rarely use textbooks, and nearly all said that happiness, contentment and self-fulfillment were more important than academic achievement. Only 15% felt that planning what to learn was crucial."
So far, so good. But what, you might ask, are the children actually learning?
"It wasn't important to me that the girls could read by a certain age, but they both picked it up for themselves at around seven," says Robinson. "Weighing cooking ingredients uses maths, and making a shopping list teaches them to write. Observing five hens has taught the girls about survival of the fittest. "
But what about when the children grow up? Can they go to university? The home educators' answer is they can if they want to. There are a variety of routes into higher education, but probably the most common is to join a local college. This is what Gus Harris-Reid has done. "I was educated at home all my life. I'd never had a lesson or been inside a classroom until I started GCSEs," says the 18-year-old. "I'm now studying for 4 A-levels at Exeter College. I've had no problem with the work or with fitting in." When asked to reflect on his experience of home education, his considered response is, "Like a permanent holiday, really!" Not a bad start for someone who plans to take a mechanical engineering degree next year.
66. What is the topic of this article?
A. New ways of learning to read and write           B. Problems with UK schools
C. Home education in the UK                      D. Wild, undisciplined children
67. Why do the Robinsons not send their children to school?
A. They think schools control children too much.
B. They do not like the courses taught in schools.
C. They want to teach their children farming skills.
D. They live in a remote area where there are no schools.
68. According to the article, in homes with school-going children, ______.
A. mornings are rushed and stressful.   
B. the children hardly ever go outside.
C. the family wakes up around 8:30am.
D. the children must ask permission to go to the toilet.
69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Most home educators believe that happiness is more important than good grades.
B. Most home educators believe that planning is important.
C. Most home educators do not follow a timetable or use textbooks.
D. Most home educators are not worried about when their children learn to read and write.
70. What does the article say about home-educated children getting into university?
A. They learn so many useful skills at home that universities are happy to accept them.
B. They can get into university if they have 4 A-levels.
C. They can go to school later and get the qualifications they need in order to enter university.
D. Home education is so relaxed that they are likely to experience problems when faced with the pressures of a degree course.

B
About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn’t want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn’t have any proof that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk. This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Since I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer’s plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied（否認(rèn)）it. The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars. If you don’t hand it over immediately, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
“I don’t know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer. And what you suppose he answered?
He said, “Oh, don’t thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please.”

D
Wives, children and parents left behind in the countryside by migrant workers need special assistance, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference said yesterday.
Adult males moving to work in cities, is causing a challenge to the traditional function of bringing up children and supporting the elderly, said Shen Shuji, who is also an official with the All-China Women’s Federation.
Shen recommended certain measures, including a special policy to guarantee educational opportunities for such children, accelerating (加速) the establishment of pension (養(yǎng)老金) and medical care systems in rural areas, and encouraging enterprises and non-governmental organizations to help such families.
The rights and welfare of migrant workers themselves have called much attention in recent years. The government has made policies to protect their rights.
The number of children aged between 6 and 16 in this situation is more than 20 million nationwide, accounting for more than half of the country’s total. Some of the children have both their parents in cities and have to be taken care of by grandparents or other family relatives.
Without enough care from parents, many of them become problem children, Shen said. Wives left at home by their husband have to face hard work, loneliness and a lack of a sense of security. In many cases long-term separation ends up with divorce.
There is still no pension system in China’s countryside. Traditionally, the elderly in rural areas are supported by their children with low incomes.
But the exodus of their children has left many old people in a difficult situation. They have to continue to work in farms while taking care of their grandchildren, Shen said.
The country should gradually scrap (消除) the decades-old bi-polar system separating rural and urban areas, which prevent farmers from enjoying the equal rights.  
53．What is the key to solving the problem that wives, children and parents are left behind in the
countryside?
A．Migrant workers should have a higher pay.
B．More profitable policies for migrant workers should be carried out.
C．The government should try to make the countryside catch up with the city.
D．Everyone should give his hand to help migrant workers.
54．We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．enough efforts have been made to improve the situation in the countryside.
B．families in the countryside are often very large.
C．a(chǎn)ll the children can go to school before long.
D．there is a long way to go before solving the problem
55．Which of the following is NOT the problem of adult males moving to work in cities according to the passage?
A．The broken marriage.                           B．More problem children.
C．Lack of labour force.                           D．More deserted land.
56．The underlined word “exodus” probably means ______.
A．poverty               B．missing               C．a(chǎn)bsence               D．illness
