When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $ 100. 【1】What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?

The author became rich all of a sudden. B. The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift. C. The author's friend was not touched by her story. D.

In China，chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool．Going to Starbucks，for example，is a status symbol．It not only says，"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee，"but also，"I'm cosmopolitan （见多识广的） enough to be part of globalization．" Where I come from in the UK，however，chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet（美食的）．Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open，or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing，"I'm huuungry!"any longer．In my own case （with regards to McDonald's），a chain is where you are taken on your first"date"．Even at the age of 13，I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day． In the UK，independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene．Nowadays，a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"（an independent cafe） is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks"．Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive，there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations． Of course，there are chain stores all over the UK；you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee．But numbers do not add up to good taste． I do，however，have a confession （坦白）．After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much．I，too，have retreated to McDonald's． 【1】Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants because ______ ． A. the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture B. the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants C. they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status D. these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date 【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE？ ______ A. The author has grown tired of Chinese food． B. Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK． C. Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK． D. It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant． 【3】We can infer from the article that ______ ． A. the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut B. the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends C. many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality D. many Britons don't like big corporations |

Moscow city authorities have begun using comics（漫画） with characters from Russian fairy tales to explain to migrants（移民） how they should behave. They say a 100-page guide is needed to "keep a positive image" of the city and could help reduce "tensions" between natives and migrants. But critics have pointed out that foreign migrants and natives may be regarded as antagonists in the manual(手册). Russians and migrants have repeatedly flooded in Moscow recently. Many migrants from ex-Soviet republics in Central Asia, the Caucasus（高加索） and North Caucasus, arrive in Moscow every year, attracted by the capital’s job opportunities and relatively high salaries. A significant number of them work in the Russian capital illegally. The new guide in Russian seeks to explain the "dos" and "don’ts" to migrants. They are urged not to cause trouble, by staring at women, or eating or talking loudly on the streets. They are also warned that the police may routinely（例行公事） stop them to check their documents. In the manual, Russia’s famous "three warriors" are meant to represent the city’s law enforcement agencies（执法机关）, while Prince Yuri Dolgoruky (a historical character) is used for tours around Moscow. Meanwhile, Vasilisa the Wise and The Snow Maiden test the reader on Russia’s language and history. A special section of the book explains the importance of following Moscow’s strict residency and employment rules, stressing that migrants could otherwise be deported(驱逐出境) or banned from entry. The manual was written primarily for illegal migrants, Alexander Kalinin, who heads the group Support for Working Migrants in Moscow, told BBC Russian. "We want to raise their level of law awareness," he added. Migrant characters had initially(最初) been identified as representatives of different nationalities, but the book’s authors later decided to drop this idea so as "not to offend anyone", said Mr. Kalinin. "The old conflict between Russian heroes and non-Slavic invaders is being revived," Yevgeny Varshaver, a migration expert told BBC Russian. He also suggested that the language used in the book would be "difficult" to understand for some migrants who were not native Russian speakers. 【1】The underlined word "antagonists" in Paragraph 1 can probably be replaced by ""_____". ". A. friends B. acquaintances C. cooperators D. opponents 【2】People from other countries come to Moscow "_____". A. to find well-paid jobs B. to have a new lifestyle C. to enjoy the fine climate D. to experience a new culture 【3】The third paragraph is mainly about"_____". A. consequences the migrants may suffer B. the purpose of publishing the handbook C. the measures to attract foreign migrants D. characters and their functions in Russian fairytales 【4】Which of the following would be the best title of the text? A. Ways to help foreign migrants to settle in Russia B. Characters from Russian fairy tales have new jobs C. More and more foreign migrants to work in Moscow D. Moscow fairy tale comics to help migrants behave |

While it may seem that a cab driver has only one responsibility—to drive customers to and from certain destinations, this is not the case. Instead, a cab driver must be ready to take on a number of different tasks. 【1】 Taxis have been around in various forms for many centuries, and the many duties of a cab driver increase as time goes on.【2】 Not only do cab drivers have to pick up all kinds of people, but many of them have to interact with their customers. Frequently, cab drivers are hired by tourists or business people for an entire day, and this can mean making unavoidable contact with different people with different personalities. Taxi drivers must also be able to operate different types of vehicles. 【3】The vehicles have ramps (斜面) that can be raised and lowered. This type of vehicle requires a special license that most cab drivers must get before obtaining a position as a taxi driver. Generally, cab drivers are not required to repair vehicles. 【4】 For example, almost all taxi drivers know how to change tires（轮胎）, lights, and other small vehicle parts. Many drivers are also responsible for checking the taxi on a regular basis. Perhaps the most important task that a cab driver must be aware of is how to charge a customer for each trip. While the prices of some trips have been predetermined（商定）, such as airport fares, other trips must be calculated using taximeters（计价器） and fee charts. 【5】 A. One of them is cleaning the inside of cabs. B. Being a taxi driver can be emotionally rewarding. C. A cab driver must have excellent communication skills. D. There are some taxis specially made for disabled people. E. However, some drivers may be asked to make small repairs. F. These prices must be calculated before the driver sets off on the trip. G. Taxi drivers should have a basic knowledge of a country ’s spoken language. |

That day, I was overslept. I was running around my apartment quickly because there was something scarier for me than be late for work.

It didn't take much time to get to work because I was hurrying the driver at every traffic light. At last, I was in the office.
