A
The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store．There was a line at the fish counter，but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers． Some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on． At last I was the second in line；all I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time．
Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter， another staff person came over to help． I was ready to be served， but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snails （蜗牛）．The customer in front of me， being served，turned around and looked at me sympathetically， and the customer behind me called to the staff person，"You should start her，"pointing at me．He was，well，ignored．
If someone asked me，"What is the most important rule to follow in America？"I would reply without hesitation，"Wait your turn at all times．"Wherever you go here in this country， you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything： whether in the supermarkets，department stores，bus stops，or gas stations， it's just a matter of waiting your turn．In a larger sense，"wait your turn"is more than just a guideline﹣it is a very basic norm （准则）that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures． But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line， just like my case at the store．Even though this did not often happen， it did make me feel upset．
1、What happened to the author at the store？
A．He wasn't served upon his order．
B．He was ill﹣treated by a customer．
C．He was asked to be served later．
D．He was asked to do others a favor．
2、What is the author's opinion about Queuing Rule？
A．Wait until being served．
B．Serve people as one likes．
C．Wait until your turn comes．
D．First come，later served．
3、What does the underlined word "this" in the last paragraph refer to？

A．His belief．
B．His experience．
C．His culture．
D．His rule．
4、Why did the author write the text？
A．To emphasize his kindness to others．
B．To introduce some western cultures to us．
C．To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule．
D．To express his belief and his feeling．

B
The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras” – cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光）time – will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2014.
As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture – not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.
In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time – a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.
Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.
1、According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happen in 2114 ?
A．A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.
B．The Future Library will be open to the public for the first time.
C．Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.
D．Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed.
2、What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?
A．They consider works deliberately.
B．They spend little time on works.
C．They spend much money on works.
D．They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.
3、What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?
A．To advocate creating works of art slowly.
B．To protect works of art from being damaged.
C．To promote works of art for modern culture.
D．To encourage people to consider works more deliberately.
4、How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?
A．It’s discouraging.
B．It’s awful.
C．It’s developed.
D．It’s busy.

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices.
