　　Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
　　The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
　　Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

My next point is about litter（throwing away waste material in a public place）. It is an offence to drop litter in the street.
　　When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
　　I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

Started on 23rd April by Steve                   Posts 1 – 7 of 42
Post 1
Steve
USA
Hi, everyone. What would you miss most and least if you were stuck on a desert island? For me, it would be the changing seasons in New England. I guess this will sound stupid but I’d probably miss the rain, too. I wouldn’t miss getting up at six every day to go to work, though! What about you?
Post 2
Tomas
Germany
Good question. Steve, I think I’d miss different types of bread, and shopping at the supermarket. I’d miss the food most. What would I miss least? My mobile phone---I’d like to be completely quiet --- at least for a little while
Post 3
Paola
Italy
I would miss the company of people because I know I’d like to have someone to share experiences with. I’d go mad on my own. And I sure wouldn’t miss junk mail(垃圾郵件) --- I hate coming home every evening and a pile of junk mail in my post box.

Hi, I would miss Manga cartoon, the internet and Japanese food, like sushi. I’d also miss TV shows and shopping for clothes… In fact, I’d miss everything.
Post 5
Roger

I would miss my daily newspaper and listening to the news on TV and radio. I’d feel very cut off if I didn’t know what was happening in the world. What I’d miss least would be traffic jams in the city, particularly my journey to work.

More than a hundred reporters from around the world thronged and bustled in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town for about an hour before the doors to the Swedish Academy swung open. Notably, there were many Japanese reporters present, hoping to break the news that Haruki Murakami had won the prize. Finally, the Swedish Academy's Permanent Secretary Peter Englund stepped out from the doors and said Canadian short story writer Alice Munro has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The following is a truncated Q&A with reporters and Englund. (The questions have been simplified and clarified.)
Why did Alice Munro win?
We gave her the Nobel Prize in Literature because she is a master of the contemporary short story.
Which book to begin with?
One of the amazing things about her is that she has no weak works in her writing. She has always worked to the best of her ability; she has always cultivated the short story to perfection. And she has never really written a weak or bad book. So you can take your pick. 'The Moons of Jupiter' was the first book I read by her and you can see both her different themes in that book and also her very special narrative mode, you can find it there. She tells her stories a bit like nobody else. She has a very economical language and sparse style. You can find that in 'The Moons of Jupiter.' You can take your pick. The latest one is obviously very interesting, 'Dear Life,' which contains a number of autobiographical sketches at the end that gives a key to the entire authorship of Alice Munro.
How was she informed?
Well, I left a message on her answering machine. I couldn't reach her and it was of course pretty early in the morning. But she will be notified by courier, by email to her both agents, by standard mail and so on.
What kind of message did you leave?
Basically, congratulations! You've won the Nobel Prize in literature.
What's the Importance of a woman winning?
Don't ask me. We picked her for excellence, nothing else. Of course it matters when you start doing the headcount. But she is no representative. She has received this prize just because of what she has done. Nothing else.
So the sexual balance doesn't count?
We don't have these kinds of quotas; thank god ... We don't have any quotas. We could, if we wanted to, award this prize four times in a row to a children's book writer working in the United States. If we wanted to. We can do as we please. We don't have to fill any quotes in any direction. We just give it to authors who show an extraordinary literary quality. One of these is Mrs. Alice Munro.
小題1:Why were there so many Japanese reporters in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town?
A．They were waiting there to report who would win the 2013 Nobel Prize in 2013.
B．They had expected that Haruki Murakami would win the prize.
C．They just wanted to be the first to report the 2013 Noble Prize winner.
D．They were waiting in the stock market to give the world a big surprise.
小題2:Alice Munro would most probably be informed of her winning by ________?
A．picking up her answering machineB．email from both of her agents
C．standard mailD．The passage doesn’t clarify it.
小題3:According to the passage, Alice Munro was awarded the 2013 Noble Prize in Literature mainly for ________.
A．she has an obvious advantage over Haruki Murakami
B．it is rare for a woman to have written so many perfect stories
C．she is a master of the contemporary short story
D．she deserves a prize for her hard work for so many years
小題4:Alice Munro is best known for her work ________.
A．“Dear Life”, which contains a number of autobiographical sketches that gives a key to her entire authorship
B．“The Moons of Jupiter”, which represented both her different themes and also her very special narrative mode
C．“DanceoftheHappyShades”, which helped her win the first Governor General’s Award
D．no specific work, but the uniqueness and perfection reflected in all her works

WASHINGTON—Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.
It is not easy, even desperate.
“We have many children left to place—40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called LEC.
When foreign exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes.
School systems in many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(有異國情調(diào)的).
In search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired.
“We are open to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide.
For elderly people, exchange students “keep us young—they really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark.
小題1:According to the text, why was it easier for Laura Straub to find American families for foreign students?
A．American school systems were better than now.
B．The government was happy because it could gain tax.
C．Foreign students paid hosting families a lot of money.
D．More mothers didn’t work outside and could look after children.
小題2:To deal with the problem in recent years, exchange programmes have to ______.
A．extend the range of host families
B．limit the number of the exchange students
C．borrow much money to pay for the costs
D．make hosting foreign students more exotic
小題3:Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A Exchange Students Keep Old People Young.
B. Idea of Hosting Students is Different.
C. Foreign-exchange Program Is Going on.
D U.S. Struggle to Find host Families.

An 11-year-old boy who has been compared to Spanish Impressionist (印象派畫家), the great Pablo Picasso, is holding his first exhibition at Llangollen’s Gardening Show this weekend.
Hamad al-Humaidhan, who was born in Kuwait but now lives in Bath, Britain, had no previous knowledge of art history when he first picked up a brush.
But he began to paint his favourite football player, Cristiano Ronaldo, using Picasso’s trademarks (標(biāo)志) —bright colours and impressionistic forms.
His father said, "I’ve got lots of books about Picasso and I showed them to Hamad but he didn’t know anything about Picasso —it’s just naturally the way he sees it and he just loves to paint."
His first painting of Ronaldo, done when he was just nine, was sold at auction (拍賣) in Bath for ￡650, which drew the attention of local art businessman Steve Turner. "A colleague sent me some pictures of Hamad’s work and I just couldn’t believe the size of it and how the colours blended (融合) together," he said. "He had talent and I thought Picasso had been reborn.""I’ve shown his work to private art collectors. They liked them very much and everyone was eager to buy, so the first six paintings have been snapped up. I bought two of them myself. The next set of his works will go on show for the first time at Llangollen, which will be the first opportunity for the public to see his amazing talent."
Hamad enjoys maths at school but ranks painting higher. "I think I prefer painting! It makes me relaxed and when I feel tired I just pick up a paint brush," he said. "I just close my eyes and see how it’s going to look and then I just paint it —I paint every day. I just love the colours and I want people to enjoy my paintings."
Now Hamad is nervously waiting for the opening of his exhibition.
小題1:What is the text mainly about?
A．Hamad’s painting exhibition.
B．Hamad and his talent for painting.
C．The popularity of Hamad’s works.
D．The similarities between Hamad and Picasso.
小題2:From the text, we can learn that Hamad ________.
A．began to learn painting when he was a boy
B．has read many books about art history
C．likes Cristiano Ronaldo very much
D．knows a lot about Picasso
小題3:According to the text, Hamad’s first painting of Ronal-do ________.
A．has bright colours and impressionistic forms
B．was bought by Steve Turner
C．was completed five years ago
D．is his favourite work
小題4: What does the underlined phrase "snapped up"in the fifth paragraph probably mean?
A．Shown to the public.B．Bought very quickly.
C．Cleaned up.D．Hung up.
小題5:What can we learn from the text?
A．Steve Turner speaks very highly of Hamad.
B．Hamad prefers maths to painting.
C．Hamad’s works will be sold after the show.
D．The public can see all Hamad’s paintings at the show.
