12．The connection shared by grandparents and grandchildren is something very special and despite the changing family situation，it still remains strong across generations．For most of us，our grandparents were our first best friends，the ones with whom we shared our secrets and our pain．
In majority of the cases，grandparents would have babysat their grandchildren while parents were busy working and didn't have much time for their children．Even as a kid grows up，the love and affection for grandparents never dies，and for many teens，visiting grandparents or living with them in the same house is a pleasure．Kedar Patwary，a mass communication student，says，"I often end up having long conversations with my grandfather about the evolution of Indian society and I really admire him for the patience with which he answers all my questions．"
     Many teenagers feel that their parents treat them as grown-ups，while their grandparents give them much freedom．
Leela Narayanan，a grandmother．says that she loves to pamper her grandchildren and cook favorite dishes for them．She further adds that her eldest granddaughter，who is now 19，was brought up by her till she was four and the closeness they shared remains the same even now．
     At times，the gap m generations plays a negative role，when grandparents find it difficult adjusting to the modern lifestyle．Technology is what works against this relationship．Youngsters'eing crazy about with gadgets leaves them with no time for their loved ones．
     Maria Kutty，is a grandmother t0 12 kids．Her face lights up every time her grandchildren are mentioned．But she has one complaint．"All my children stay close to me but when they come to visit and I want to spend time with them，I can't find them anywhere．They only have time for clickety-clackety things in their hands．Sometimes they listen to loud music and talk about things I don't understand．I feel very sad when I think of all those times，"she says．

3．Italians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day，an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures．
"Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives，"said Bruno Contigiani，the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association．Contigiani，62，a one-time high-powered manager，is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world．He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace，and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle．
    Contigiani's association suggests"14 commandments （誡條）"for living better，such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing．Others include walking whenever possible，and reading in the evenings instead of watching television．
     This year，Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai，one of the fastest moving cities in the world．The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire aftemoon，inviting people to"slow down"．"Among the"14  commandments'，the one  about waking up five minutes  earlier was the most popular by far，"Contigiani said．
     Back in Italy，the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities，such as reminding people to  stop and  smell  the roses．In central  Milan：you  would probably be fined  if you walk  too fast．In parks and public spaces，free yoga and Tai Chi （太極拳） lessons are important parts of the events．
     Italian farmers'union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals，a habit connected to rising levels of obesity．Therefore，the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular．
     World Slow Day is by now an  intemational event．A  total of 90"Slow Cities"in  11 countries inspired by the"live well"philosophy are supporting the day．

20．Best bike-sharing cities in the world
When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day，it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice．In advance of the launch，one blog post on Le Monde's website claimed，"Bike share to conquer America．"
The next major development was in Copenhagen，which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called Bycyklen，or"City Bike．"For 17 years，these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark's capital until the program was shut down late last year-it's getting an upgrade to third generation technology．
Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel，the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths．From there the technology has progressed，picking up GPS and real-time tracking along the way，and has spread throughout Western Europe-and the world．
According to the Bike Sharing World Map，maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia，there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction．
And they're not just in Europe and North America．The worldwide leader in bike sharing，as measured by the number of bikes，is China．According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute，20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese．Its largest one，in the city of Wuhan，has twice the number of bikes as all of France's shares combined．
Although most of the systems share several characteristics-bikes with low theft value，electronic docking stations，ranked payment scales-different cities are trying different ways to make bike sharing work．
Take a look at Hangzhou，China，this city of 6.2 million near Shanghai，and you'll see what just may be the best bike share in the world．Although now second on the planet （and China） by size，the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares，and probably the most extensively used one，anywhere，largely because of its mixing into public transport：a single card grants access to subway，bus，ferry，taxi and bike share．Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan （about 33）andrideforanhourforfreeinthissceniccityontheYangtzeDelta．Eachadditionalhouristheequalofonly0.15-one reason why riders put in a quarter-million rides a day．By 2020 it's projected to have 175，000 bikes．
71．What does the blogger mean by the underlined part"Bike share to conquer America．"？C
A．Bike share is a national event．B．Bike share attracts international media．
C．Bike share is popular in America．D．America is a kingdom of bikes．
72．In 1995 citizens in the French city of Rennes can get access to bike shareAA．by putting coins into the system                             
B．by inserting a card into the system
C．by showing ID card to the booths                           
D．by boarding the docking station
73．Which of the following countries has the most bikes？D
A．America．B．Denmark．C．France．D．China．
74．Which of the following statements is TRUE about bike share？C
A．No thief will steal bikes
B．The payment is the same among cities．
C．Any city has her own way to operate it
D．There is no competition between cities．
75．If you tour in Hangzhou you can find the bike share there isB．
A．the most advanced in the world                              
B．a(chǎn) most successful example
C．free for local people                                                    
D．a(chǎn)vailable at scenic spots．

7．One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now is no doubt tuhao，a sarcastic，light-hearted term referring to rich people of little education，bad taste or lacking self-awareness．
This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning．The term，which literally means"country bully"，has been around since ancient times，when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural landlords．
However，the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was adapted a few years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game"World of Warcraft"to refer to rich players who spend big money buying powerful virtual weapons．Because they don't improve their skills by playing，these players are considered silly，uncultured，and unprofessional．
But that is not the end of tuhao's new life story．The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with（同時發(fā)生）the emergence（出現(xiàn)）of the Chinese"nouveau riche"一a generation of businessmen and women，property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly accumulated large amounts of wealth in recent years．
Similar to the many rags-to-riches stories in human history，many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from well-educated or prestigious（聲望很高的） backgrounds．Rather，they achieved financial success through powerful connections，smart investments，and by riding out China's economic boom．Many of them don't shy away from throwing their money around，yet we are often reminded of their lack of manners，taste and cultural sensitivity．
As a result，a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation．
Trendy，young Internet users，who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao一not wealthy，but well-educated and cultured一have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations．For example，the phrase"let's be friends，tuhao，"became hot after it appeared in an online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk．
When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September，Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the great popularity of the new golden-colored models among Chinese consumers，and named it"tuhao Gold"，to make fun of the taste of rich Chinese people．
"Tuhao"---a latest buzzword in China
（71）Changes
 in meaning		In （72）ancient/old times"Country bully"，（73）referring
to rich and powerful landlords who oppressed others
In the （74）
gamingworld		Rich but unprofessional players，meaning players who would rather buy powerful （75）virtualweapons than improve skills by playing．
In recent daily （76）conversation/lifeTasteless"nouveau riche"，indicating those rich people who have benefited from the （77）booming
economy of China but are （78）known
for their lack of manners，taste and cultural sensitivity．
（79）examples
of its application		"Let's be friends，tuhao．"An online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk．

17．Almost anywhere in the world，you can probably see graffiti （涂鴉畫）．Although it's usually more common in big cities，it can be found in almost any community，big or small．
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art．This isn't always an easy question to answer，simply because there are so many different types of graffiti．While some simply consists of collections of letters，known as tags，with little artistic value，such examples are easy to find，especially on larger spaces such as walls．
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission，it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art．Most graffiti，however，annoys the property owner，who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art．
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed，such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint，or make it easy to remove．Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams．
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface （丑化） private or public property； but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them．Graffiti artists can，for example，create murals （壁畫） for property owners，and get paid for them．
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level，and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls．After all，who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls，only to have them painted over the next day？Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy，but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world，we do need to try．

66．What would be the best title for this passage？D
A．How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist．B．Stop Removing Graffiti!
C．Do You Like Graffiti？D．Is Graffiti Art？
67．The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA．
A．makes buildings ugly                  B．has no artistic value at all
C．robs private property                   D．takes up too much space
68．In Paragraph 4，the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC．
A．change         B．flow          C．remove           D．freeze
69．The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD．
A．they are world-famous artists
B．they are good at graffiti
C．walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D．their works，if painted on the wall，might not be kept long
70．The writer's attitude toward graffiti is that graffitiD．
A．should be removed by more countries      B．should be saved on larger spaces
C．should be created only on paper or canvas     D．may be accepted as art．

4．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺騙）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
For example，someone might say，''I just won a hundred．dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"．This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought$200worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her  opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，''Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．''It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

31．The underlined word"opponents"in Paragraph 3meansA．
A．enemy    B．partner    C．cooperator   D．a(chǎn)ssistant
32．We may infer that the author believes people shouldC．
A：．buy lottery tickets if possible    B．make use of half-truths
C．be careful about what they are told D．not trust the Yucky Company
33．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive？C
A．One．    B．Two．    C．Three． D．Four．
34．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Using half truths is against the law．
B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．
35．which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage？B
A．He's really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．
D．It's against the law to make false statements．
