A new museum about laziness has opened in Colombia’s capital, Bogota. But, you have to hurry if you want to find out about being lazy because the show lasts for only one week.
The unusual show has displays (展品) that include things, such as sofas, beds, and anything that lets you take the weight off your feet. There are also plenty of televisions for visitors to watch while they walk around in the museum.
The museum opened soon after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year.
The museum’s keeper, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to have a rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She added, “We always think about laziness as an enemy of work.” Ms. Arrieta may not be pushing for a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we might require more free time than our jobs allow us. Avoiding the pressure (压力) of work and relaxing more may make us healthier and live longer.
Try out her advice for yourself; take the weight off your feet, put your feet up, and think about being lazy.
50. Visitors can ______ in the Museum of Laziness.
A. repair sofas B. watch TV C. buy beds D. get a job
51. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Relax yourself. B. Become excited. C. Lose weight. D. Change lifestyle.
52. The museum’s keeper thinks that ______.
A. museums are good places to visit B. work is a big enemy of life
C. people should rethink about laziness D. the unusual show is very successful

C
Do you have a lucky number? What is it? Many people have a special number that they hope will bring them good luck.
In Chinese culture, some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to.
For example, the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for “making a fortune”. So, people consider it a very lucky number. Some people will even spend a lot of money to have 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate (车牌照) numbers. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m. on August 8, 2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China. There were nine dragons on emperors’ robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon has nine children. The number 9 also stands for “long lasting”. That’s why a man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what’s a “bad luck” number in China? It might be 4. Many Chinese people see 4 as a “bad luck” number because it sounds similar to the character for “death”.
Because of this, many buildings skip the fourth floor, and simply call it the fifth floor. In Hong Kong, some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4, such as, 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. Some buildings also skip the 13th floor, as this is considered an unlucky number in many Christian countries. As a result, a building whose highest floor is 50 may have only 35 physical floors.

53. How do lucky or unlucky numbers come in Chinese culture?
They come mostly of .
A. people’s hope for their good luck B. people’s belief in certain numbers
C. similar sounds of Chinese numbers and words D. Chinese special traditions
54. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many people like the number 8 because it can bring them much money.
B. Much money is sometimes spent on 8s in people’s car numbers in China.
C. 9 is a lucky number in Chinese culture for only one reason.
D. 4 is an unlucky number because it predicts death to the Chinese.
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Good luck and bad luck in China. B. Lucky and unlucky numbers in China.
C. All facts with lucky or unlucky numbers. D. Lucky and unlucky numbers in culture.

D
Living and dealing with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.
　　If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
　　Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
　　If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
　　When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
　　Here is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
　　Communication isn’t a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.
56. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.
　 A. more difficult B. much easier 　C. less interesting D. more interesting
57. The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
　　A. keep up with others B. move along smoothly
C. distance yourself from others D. come closer to each other
58. The example in Paragraph 6 shows that ___________.
　　A. Sophie is very polite to her parents　　
B. Sophie’s p
