corps paints his eyes during a friendly Taekwondo match at a South Korean Army Base in Pochon, north of
Seoul. Stressed out white-collar workers are scaling (攀登) skyscrapers, camping out on rooftops, smashing
up restaurants, pretending to be children and even visiting cemeteries in a bid to relieve the pressure of modern
life.
As the country"s economy continues to steam ahead, once popular forms of entertainment, such as karaoke,
card games and even boxing bars, appear to be losing their appeal.
Consider the members of Shanghai"s Cat Rain club. By day, this group of young women works executive
jobs, but by night they climb buildings so they can spend the night on the roof.
"It"s a good way to release our pressure. You feel relaxed when you"re sitting on the roof, looking up to
the sky and chatting with intimate (亲密的) friends," said Gong Ying, 25.
The stress of work is not just limited to people in Shanghai.
A recently opened restaurant in Beijing encourages customers to smash plates-as long as they are willing to
pay to replace them.
Though there has been some debate about the extravagance (奢侈) of such services, some psychologists
say the activity reflects the desire of some white-collar workers to vent their angst.
Some workers even appear eager to return to their childhoods. This May, hundreds of people took part in
a festival in which adults pretended to be children. It was an adults-only event, and participants could read
comics and eat sweets all day.
Scenic places such as parks and rivers can also help people relax and put things in perspective. But a
cemetery?
Cemetery companies in Shanghai organized visits to local graveyards for stressed-out workers in March.
The participants were taken to quiet spots in the cemetery where they could contemplate (考虑、打算) life
and their futures.
Roof-camper Chen Bin, an IT marketing professional, said she had camped out on a rooftop about 30
times. When she"s not sleeping out under the stars, she also has several other adrenalin-fueled interests, such
as downhill racing and paragliding.
"Pressure may bring us distress, but it doesn"t mean we can"t find ways out," Chen says."Life should be
imaginative."
答案
6. smash 7. pretend 8. relax 9. sleeping 10. imaginative

for its advantages. These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have
something to worry about.
Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study,
cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough
practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living
in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with
their "host parents", and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host
family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family
type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host
families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now
generally single and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family
accommodation is communication practice. One the other hand, students" expectations have risen. They are
becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly
from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of
service. They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private
bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with
structured family activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China
Youth Daily in collaboration(与…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不满) over the
country"s widening income gap.
Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe
society"s rich, the top responses were "extravagant" (奢侈的), "greedy" and"corrupt".
About 57 percent of those polled said that"extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed
closely by "greedy".
Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that
richer people should be"socially responsible".
Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being"smart".
Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to
speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.
The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao
Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".
A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China"s Gini coefficient-an
indicator of the wealth divide-rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent
of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.
The country"s income disparity (悬殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in
January, said.
These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meaning.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word,
you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in an alphabetical order-a, b, c and
so on. For example, on a dictionary page the "poor" comes before "poverty" and the word "poverty" comes
before the "power". The words are always given in alphabetical order. The second thing, a dictionary will
tell you the pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic (语音的), or sound alphabet. The phonetic
alphabet shows pronunciation. The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can
look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary
will tell you all of the word"s meanings. For example, in English the common word "get" has over 20 different
meanings.
B. one meaning
C. few meanings
D. no meaning
B. more of the word"s meanings
C. more of grammar
D. more of the word"s spelling.
B. spelling
C. meanings
D. pronunciation
B. Five
C. Three
D. Two
doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods,
such as fried chicken and icecream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups
who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children
will buy less take away food.
There is anther argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree
with this because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops.
If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food or are always allowed to choose
what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk
to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer
games. Not only is this an pastime (消遣), it also give them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they
need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to
be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
B. Those who often watch TV.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can"t choose what to eat
D. there are so many fast food shops around
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions
environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,
it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注意地) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you
are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their
policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,
but in England you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping out door, experiencing bad weather, and making do without
modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller,
more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with
no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite
with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have
obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot.When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead
trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects.
Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your
shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A
good campsite is found, not made-changing it should be unnecessary.
B. most parts of Scotland
C. crowded lowland Britain
D. most parts of England
B. used previously
C. with modem conveniences
D. far away from beaches
B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland
D. finding a campsite with privacy
B. the importance of wild camping
C. the human influence on campsites
D. the dos and don"ts of wild camping
