I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city． I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country． But how realistic is the dream?

Cities can be frightening places． The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal． The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up．All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of fiats．

Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other．

Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated（隔离）existence because  a sense of community generally ties the inhabitants of small villages together． But country life has disadvantages too．It is true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities．There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie． Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town．The city-people who leave for the country are often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quietness．

What , then , of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m eager for the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby． I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass．I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric fire any evening．

A．a strong sense of fear                   B．a lack of communication

3．The text implies that it is not easy to buy ______ in the country．

A．agricultural produce                       B．fresh fruits

Father's Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time．

Father’s Day was first celebrated by American  1  it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart． He was a veteran（退伍军人）of the US Civil War and his wife  2  away giving birth to their sixth child．He  3  six children alone without remarrying, which was undoubtedly  4   back in those days．

His daughter, Sonora Dodd,  5  when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his  6  ．It was in the early 1900s and she was actually  7   one day, listening to a sermon（传教） on   8  ．She thought there should   9   be a Father's Day celebration．

And so the   10   was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora's father's death． Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated   11   since the 1970s．

Father's Day is never quite such the big commercial event   12   Mother's Day is, probably because it hasn't been in   13   for so long．But what do British people do for Father's Day?

Well, most people would buy their fathers a card．The card would probably have a nice message in it   14  what a great Dad their father is．Some people do buy presents as well．

15   gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can  16   use even if they don't want them．In the run-up（即将到来之际）to Father's Day, or indeed Mother's Day, there will be ads on the TV giving  17  ideas of CDs or gadgets （小玩具，小玩意）we can buy．Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar goods with “World's Greatest Dad”  18   on them．

Some families   19  do things together to celebrate Father's Day like going for a meal．As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest ,  20   him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn（除草） to make him feel really appreciated．

Is It the Only Way Out to Go to College?

We had a discussion about whether it is the only way out for senior students to go to college．Views vary from person to person．

____________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

On the afternoon of September 27,2008 ,astronaut Zhai Zhigang became the first Chinese man to walk in space on Saturday, clambering（攀爬）out of China's Shenzhou VII space craft in a technological feat（成就） that made the Chinese people excited．

"I'm feeling quite well． I greet the Chinese people and the people of the world," Zhai said as he climbed out of the craft at around 16:40 Beijing time, a historic achievement telecast live on CCTV．Tens of millions of Chinese viewers gathered before TV screens to watch the moment．

Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders had appeared at the Beijing Aerospace Control Center to watch the live transmission of Zhai's space walk．

Zhai, 42, chosen by an expert team for the first "out-of -capsule activity," showed a red national flag, helped by colleague Liu Boming, who also briefly popped his head out of the capsule．

Zhai slowly made his way towards a test sample of solid lubricant（润滑剂）outside the capsule, took a sample and handed it to Liu．

Zhai safely returned inside the craft after about 20 minutes．The walk marked the highpoint of China's third manned space journey, which has received widespread media coverage．

Zhai wore a $4．4 million Chinese-made suit weighing 120-kg．Liu wore a Russian-made one and acted as an assistant．

The third crew member, Jing Haipeng, monitored the ship from inside the re-entry module．

The risky maneuver is a step towards China's longer-term goal of building a space lab and then a larger space station, analysts said．

"On this flight, Chinese people's footprints will be left in space for the first time," said a commentary by the Xinhua news agency．

The astronauts went abroad on their walk after receiving a clean bill of health from doctors on the ground at mission control in Beijing, Xinhua said．

Zhai's suit has 10 layers and takes up to 15 hours to assemble and put on．

China's first manned spaceflight was in 2003．A second, two-manned flight followed in 2005． The only other countries that have sent people into space are Russia and the United States．

Shenzhou VII took off on Thursday and is due to land on the northern steppes （草原）of Inner Mongolia on Sunday．
