More Than One Way to the Square
We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had __36__ me to this spot in a small town not far from our home. I wondered __37__.
“Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my __38__ and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the __39__.
“See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go __40__ one road, try another.”
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had __41__ my mother to do something about the awful school lunches. But she __42__ because she could not believe the lunches were as __43__ as I said.

But just 13 days before the presentation the sewing girls all stopped working. I was as __49__ as my models. “We’ll never make it,” one of them cried.
Accept the failure? __50__ use wisdom to find another road to my goal? Then a great idea flashed through my mind—why not __51__ the clothes unfinished?
And, exactly 13 days later, our showing turned out to be so __52__ that it was a great success. Our different showing caught the __53__ of the public, and orders for the clothes __54__ in.
Father’s wise words had __55__ me once again, “There is always more than one way to the square.”

Wikipedia: The Online Know-It-All
If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search for it is Wikipedia. The name “Wikipedia” is from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “quick”. This online encyclopedia (百科全书) is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with Internet access can write, add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors. But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies (技术专家) can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits. Where there are disagreements on how to present facts, editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject.
Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed encyclopedias, it is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years.
What’s more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. Since its creation, it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites, attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly. There are more than 77,000 active contributors working on more than 22,000,000 articles in different languages. As of today, there are 4,396,866 articles in English.
So, if you are looking for some information, why not try Wikipedia? It’s free, multilingual，and informative.
56. According to the passage, what is Wikipedia?
A. A free website encyclopedia.
B. A computer game.
C. A free encyclopedia in book form.
D. An online university.
57. From the passage we know that ______.
A. Wikipedia catches a wide audience
B. Wikipedia only charges users a small fee
C. incorrect editions might do great harm to Wikipedia
D. it will take long to update the information on Wikipedia
58. Where can we probably read the passage?
A. In a story book.
B. In a research report.
C. In a science magazine.
D. In a travel brochure.

Sixteen-year-old Karlos Dearman’s future is looking much brighter than he might previously have imagined. “I love bikes, but I’ve never thought I’d end up with working with them,” he says. “This program has changed my life.”
Karlos is learning to refurbish (翻新) old bicycles in the workshop (车间) of ReCycle Bikes, an independent non-profit bike project in Sheffield. It provides training chances for young people aged 14 to 16 with the help of the local government, particularly those struggling in mainstream education or rejected from school.
“It’s about engaging young people with education and youth training by teaching them work and life skills,” explains Des Pearce, workshop training manager. “These young people have so much potential, but often don’t realize it.”
Founded in 2001, ReCycle Bikes repairs bicycles donated by the public, which are sold for ￡20 after refurbished. Abandoned bikes supplied by the government make sure a steady flow of bikes, but a recently formed partnership with Sheffield University should improve the further development.
“The student population presents a large and ready market,” says Pearce. “So we approached the university last year and offered to host bike sales on the campus (校园) . They thought it was a great idea, and agreed to provide us with more support. This means we can train young people to repair extra 500 bikes over three years.”
Having set up ReCycle Bikes on his own, Pearce now has the staff and resources to track the profession development of those who have passed through his workshop. “But we are planning exit interviews with the young people to make sure what they plan to do, and these will allow us to check on their progress,” says Pearce.
That most of the teenagers enjoy the work is, according to Pearce, easily explained. “Most kids have ridden a bike and know how to oil a chain or mend a flat tyre. As low-cost transport, cycling gives the young and old a sense of freedom and independence, and the effect on their well-being is big. Add to that a growing concern for the environment, and it’s no surprise that bike sales are on the increase.”
59. From the passage, we know ReCycle Bikes ______.
A. is a popular brand of bikes
B. provides training chances for young people
C. is a training project offered by the government
D. aims at making money by selling refurbished bicycles
60. How did ReCycle Bikes run at the beginning?
A. By working together with Sheffield University.
B. By selling bicycles supplied by the government.
C. By getting money from teenagers aged between 14 and 16.
D. By repairing bicycles donated by the public and selling them.
61. ReCycle Bikes has formed a partnership with Sheffield University because _____.
A. students at Sheffield University can be their potential customers
B. Sheffield University donates a lot of money to ReCycle Bikes
C. teenagers at ReCycle Bikes can study at Sheffield University
D. Sheffield University offers to host bike sales on the campus
62. According to Pearce, why do most of the teenagers enjoy the work?
A. They’d like to change their lives.
B. They want to learn how to repair bikes.
C. They don’t have enough money to buy cars.
D. They are familiar with bikes and interested in them.
C
Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
  The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife b
