some highly valued personal belonging. Half of the broken token was held by the father of the bride and
the other half by the groom. A wealthy man was expected to split a piece of gold or silver.
The earliest engagement rings were also used as wedding rings, serving to seal an act of sale which
transformed ownership of a daughter from father to husband. Such rings were usually of solid gold to
prove the groom"s worth.
For Roman Catholics, the engagement ring became a required statement of Nuptial intent (结婚意向),
as decreed by Pope Nicholas I in 860 A. D. The engagement ring was to be of valued metal, preferably
gold, which for the husband-to-be represented a financial sacrifice.
Signifying enduring love, and chosen for its durability, the diamond was chosen for the engagement
ring. The diamond"s fire is also associated with "love"s clear flame," given by Medieval Italians because of
their belief that the diamond was created from the flames of love.
The Venetians were the first to discover that the diamond is one of the hardest, most enduring
substances in nature, and fine cutting and polishing releases the brilliance. Rarity and cost limited their
rapid proliferation (急增) throughout Europe but their intrinsic (内在的) appeal guaranteed them a future.
By the 17th century, the diamond ring had become the most sought after statement of European engagement.
B. The bride"s mother and the bridegroom.
C. The bride and the bridegroom.
D. The bridegroom and the bride"s father,
B. Every will-be bride should split a piece of gold.
C. The engagement rings were also used to prove the groom"s worth.
D. A rich bride should break one of her most valuable personal belongs.
B. over 1,000 years ago
C. in the 1860s
D. by the 17th century
A. Rings made of gold
B. Rings made of silver
C. Rings made of diamond
D. Rings made of an unknown substance in nature.
of Peace is one of its names- the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des
Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition (人道主义传统) and international
character is the World"s Smallest Metropolis. Parks, splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town
and its 2000-year history wait to be discovered.
The Jet d"Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting
Geneva. The Jet d"Eau has become the symbol (象征) of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high
water monument with a rich history. Eight 13,500-watt projectors light the grand column (圆柱) of the
fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower Watch, which
was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955, reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of
the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through
the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.
Sails on Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a true inland sea,
making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.
B. Palais des Nations.
C. The World"s Smallest Metropolis.
D. The birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making.
B. the English Garden
C. a new scene with electric lighting
D. the name of a famous watchmaker
B. It lies among the Jura Range.
C. It has a direct passage to the ocean.
D. It is a large body of water of tourist interest.
The most important reasons for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors (祖先) battled nature with
the basic tools they had. They had only basic ways of creating light, and yet they found a way of using
this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to save ships from hitting rocks.
Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very
nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks of cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives.
To walk around their small home, and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls, is to take
a step towards understanding the lives they had.
The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is true that lighthouses
were built in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very isolation has a natural
beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the
lighthouse, the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings.
Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated
place, to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy.
Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper
climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.
B. To look for the tools used by our ancestors.
C. To experience the natural beauty of a lighthouse.
D. To learn about the living condition of lighthouse keepers.
B. dangerous
C. ancient
D. secret
B. to guide passing ships
C. to give a pleasant sight
D. to remember lighthouse keepers
B. Four
C. Five
D. Six
their farms to cities to seek jobs in industry, peasant women had to take over the sowing, growing, and
harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and raising their children. When women also moved
to the cities in search of work, they found that it was increasingly. Separated by sex and that employment
opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the century, women in industry
gathered mainly in cloth-making factories, though some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring
jobs.
In the 1800s, service work also absorbed (吸纳) a great number of women who arrived in the cities from
the country. Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and upper-class homes; and as
more and more men were drawn into industry, homestic service (家庭服务) because increasingly a female
job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other service work also opened up to women,
from sales jobs in shops to teaching and nursing. These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.
For thousands of years, when almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm
(家庭作坊),home and workplace had been the same, In these cases, women could do farm work or hand
work, and perform home duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time, Along with the
development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the factory and the department store,
separated home from work, Faced with the necessity for women to choose between home and workplace,
Western society began to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more energy
than ever before.

study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated
from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from
texting too much?
[2] If _____, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who
is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which
takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if
messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from
emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely
to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.
Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone
behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and
family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships
by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure
of true communication.
