Some are village festivals, celebrated by only a few hundred people, while others are celebrated by almost the entire population. Two of the most well-known British festivals are Bonfire Night and Halloween.Bonfire Night has an interesting histroy. In 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and some of his followers tried to blow up the British Houses of Parliament. They hoped that if they succeeded, they could take control of England and become its new rulers. Guy Fawkes and his men dug a tunnel under one of the Parliament buildings, and his 36 barrels of gunpowder there. Fortunately, on November 5th, Guy Fawkes was caught just before he was able to light the fuse. He and all his followers were burned to death.Today, people in Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes capture by lighting fires and holding fireworks displays. Many children make “guys”.Guys are dolls made out of paper and rags, and are put on top of a bonfire to be burned. The guys represent Guy Fawkes, and the fire represents the way he died.Halloween is celebrated in Britain on the night of October 31st. At this time, it is believed that ghosts and witches travel around the countryside and revisit their homes. There are many customs associated with Halloween. One of these is the game of “trick or teart”. Children, dressed up as witches, ghosts or monsters, knock on their neighbours doors, and shout “trick or treat”. If they are lucky, they receive a “treat”a bar of chocolate, or some sweets or some money. If. However, their neighbours refuse to give them anything, they play a trick on them. They might spray their front door with shaving foam, or knock on their doors and then run away!Another game played at Halloween is “bobbing for apples”. In this game,a bowl is filled with water,and apples are placed in it. Children then have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands. This game is difficult and messy,but great fun!Bonfire Night and Halloween are two important festivals celebrated in every part of Britain each year. They are enjoyed by both young and old and have been for many centuries.26.

Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our livesthe big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, Im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasnt happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper32. In the writers opinion, in the future,_. A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer C. newspapers will cover more scientific research D. more and more people will watch TV33. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.34. From the passage, we can infer_. A. newspapers will win the competition among the different media B. newspapers will stay with us with other media C. television will take the place of newspaper D. the writer believe some media will die out35. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means_. A. depend on B. compete with C. fight with D. kill offC Recently many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not actually make them work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, the variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his hob in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contribution an important factor, it is also one we can do something about.To what extent(程度) does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.36. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is NOT true?.A. To make jobs more varied B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own wayC. Degree of work contribution D. Demands for longer working hours37. Why do workers want more money?A. Because their jobs are too boring B.In order to enjoy more spare timeC. To make their jobs more interesting D. To demand shorter working hours38. The last sentence in this passage means that is we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting_.A. they will want more moneyB. they will demand shorter working hoursC. more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them39. In this passage, the author tells us_A. how to make the workers more productiveB. possible factors leading to greater productivity.C. to that extent more money leads to greater productivityD. how to make workers jobs more interesting.40. The author of this passage is probably a _A. teacher B. worker C. manager D. physicistDIn a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.You may never be able to repay he
