    In China, some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in the talk shows.

   That is a good idea. Yes, the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole programme.

   Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知). Then the host has to answer and explain ---how silly it is! It wastes a lot of time.

   It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They do not care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in the topic or how silly they appear to be.

It is necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.

47. The underlined sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme” may tell us that _____

   A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way

   B. there are problems to solve in the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations

   C. the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations is a good idea

   D. some people have unclear thoughts

48. The underlined word“operator” in the last paragraph refers to_____

       A. 话务员        B. 听众        C. 医生         D. 主持人

The tragic death of celebrity Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery, which is becoming increasingly popular.

       A survey on the reaction to Wang's death, conducted by Tencent, which runs China's most popular instant-messaging service, received more than 600,000 responses, as of press time Monday.Forty-one percent of respondents expressed sorrow over her death, saying, "It's a pity she died at such a young age."

My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents’ tomb in the churchyard.

    “Hold your noise!” came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church. “Keep still, you little devil(小鬼), or I’ll cut your throat!”

     A fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. He seized me by the chin(下巴).

    “Tell us your name!” said the man. “Quick!”

    “Pip, sir.”

    “Show us where you live,” said the man. “Point out the place!”

    I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.

    The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.

    “You young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you ha’ got. Darn me if I couldn’t eat em, and if I han’t half a mind to’t!”

I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn’t, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.

“Now then lookee here!” said the man. “Where’s your mother?”

“There, sir!” said I.

He started, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder.

“There, sir!” I timidly explained, pointed to the tombstone. “That’s my mother.”

“Oh!” said he, coming back. “And is that your father alonger your mother?”

“Yes, sir,” said I; “him too; late of this parish(教区).”
