举一反三
In a study of ten of the largest European countries, Britain, which was considered a popular country to live in, now comes last followed by Ireland, with France and Spain topping the table.
Though British families enjoy the highest income in Europe, they still have to fight with a high cost of living, with fuel, food and alcohol all costing more than the European average.
With the high price of petrol, the UK is the second most expensive country in Europe. However, diesel (柴油) is more expensive in the UK than anywhere else in Europe.
The report by the website uSwitch analyses 10 European countries against 17 different benchmarks(基准点), from the price of gas, electricity, fuel, food and drink to the money each country spends on education, health to working conditions and the weather.
The top three countries are France, Spain and Denmark, with Sweden, Ireland and Britain coming eighth, ninth and tenth respectively.
The study comes less than a week after the United Nations moved Britain out of the top 20 list of most desirable countries to live in for the first time.
Although France and Germany were at the beginning hit hard by the global financial crisis, both have officially got out of the trouble, while Britain has yet to prove this has happened. Later this week, despite (尽管) signs of recovery in the housing market and rising sales, unemployment is still expected to have climbed to above 2.5 million for the first time since 1994.
小题1:Which country has the best quality of life in Europe according to the report?
| A．Ireland. | B．France. | C．Sweden. | D．Denmark |
| A．British families are suffering from the high cost of living. |
| B．The report comes after the website uSwitch analysed 10 Asian countries. |
| C．The price of petrol is higher in Britain than anywhere else in Europe. |
| D．The quality of British life is reported to be terrible because of the bad working conditions. |
| A．terrible | B．attractive | C．expensive | D．different |
| A．Britain is still struggling to get out of the global financial crisis. |
| B．Unemployment in Britain is expected to go down soon. |
| C．Recovery in the housing market leads to unemployment in Britain. |
| D．Britain has recovered from the crisis together with France and Germany. |
When I was b boy, my mother would buy enough cheap cards with ugly drawings of butterflies and little rabbits and honeybees for me to give one to every kid in my class, about 20 or so. The cards came in bags, and each card had a few foolish words-“Be Mine” or “I like you” or “You’ve Got My Heart” or the uninteresting words, “Hi, Valentine!” I would sign my name on the cards quickly and the name of one of my classmates on each easily-broken envelope. I would lick （舔）each one shut, but they were so cheap that the envelopes rarely had enough glue. On Valentine’s Day, I would take the cards to school-everyone did. We would have a party in our classroom, with cupcakes（杯形蛋糕）and juice and tiny candy hearts, which also had Valentine messages printed on them-“You’re sweet” or “Cupid（爱神丘比特）”or “Love”.
Ah, love! That’s the Valentine’s Day message: love. No one knows for certain the origin of the holiday. Several, Catholic victims were named Valentine, but it’s difficult to separate legend from fact. One story tells of a priest（牧师）named Valentine who was imprisoned and may have been stoned to death around 270 for performing marriages in going against the orders of the Roman Emperor Claudius II. But it’s hard today to find any religious connection.
小题1:From the first paragraph, why does the author say that we Chinese call Valentine’s Day “lovers’ day ”is not accurate?
| A．Because only lovers would spend it. |
| B．Because it is only spent on Feb. 14. |
| C．Because it doesn’t only belong to lovers. |
| D．Because only those rich people could enjoy it. |
| A．his not attending a ceremony on time. |
| B．his stealing something from the church |
| C．his rude words to Roman Emperor Claudius II |
| D．his not obeying the orders by Roman Emperor Claudius II |
| A．religion | B．sports | C．entertainment | D．art |
Lahore Stock Exchange
Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) is the 2nd largest exchange of the country with a workforce of almost 150 employees. The Exchanges of Pakistan are currently undergoing a major reform program involving shareholding(使成为***制) in order to develop the capital markets further.
We seek a dynamic(精***), forward-thinking Chief Executive with ability to provide strong leadership and effective management to deliver its organization goals and strategic plan. The successful candidate(候选人) should have the business both pre and post shareholding with a proven record.
The candidate should have minimum of 7 years of experience along with a business related degree or other professional qualifications. However, a strong record of achievement, excellent communication and team building skill are equally important. International qualifications or experience will be an added advantage together with the knowledge of the local corporate environment.
Compensation package will be highly attractive and match the position. If you are interested in a strategic leadership role and be part of an organization to make a difference, please write to:

……
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $ 5 and $ 10 and $ 20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy(冷漠), who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished(消失)from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn’t do this just to win an election. And I know you didn’t do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime—two wars, a planet in peril(危亡), the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
……
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
小题1: This passage is most probably taken from a (an)_______.
| A．report | B．lecture | C．speech | D．announcement |
| A．The speaker has won an election campaign which is quite important for him. |
| B．The speaker feels they are unlikely to make their ancestors’ dream come true. |
| C．The speaker thinks America is a nation that lacks democracy. |
| D．The speaker’s campaign was launched in the nation’s capital. |
| A．expressing thanks to his supporters |
| B．discussing the challenges that lie ahead |
| C．urging Americans to unite for the bright future of the nation |
| D．warning the people against two terrible wars in store |
| A．unreliable | B．determined | C．narrow-minded | D．humorous |
A person who is filled with his own importance and pride is said to have “his nose in the air．”Often the person who has a big head and his nose in the air has no reason to feel better than others．
Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth---“both feet on the ground.” Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality．She has what is called “common sense.” She does not allow her dreams to block her understanding of what is real．
The opposite kind of person is one who has his “head in the clouds.” Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life．Such a person may be called a “daydreamen.”
The person who is down to earth usually has both feet on the ground．But the opposite is not always true．Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down to earth．
When we have both our feet firmly on the ground，and when we are down to earth，we do not have our noses in the air．We act honestly and openly to others．And our lives are like the ground below up—solid and strong．
小题1:He who considers himself to be better and more important than others is likely to .
| A．have his head in the clouds | B．be easy to deal with |
| C．have a “common sense” | D．have “a big head” |
| A．“his nose in the air” | B．“go to his head” |
| C．“both feet on the ground” | D．“daydreamer” |
| A．some popular American expressions | B．how to be down to earth |
| C．why to be honest and open | D．how to deal with someone who is down to earth |
