My friend Jim was a well-known radio host, who worked at a radio station all his life. All his colleagues knew him about one characteristic: If he’s on-air, he is always wearing a suit and a tie. They laughed at him, saying, “No one ever sees you. Why do you dress like that?” But he always turned that into a joke.

One day Jim was invited to appear on the TV. There was a show for the oldest radio employees. For the first time his fans, who only knew Jim by his voice, would see him. Before the recording of the show, the director came to Jim and asked, “Usually you arrive on time, but today you are 10 minutes late. It’s not terrible, but I still want to know why.”

“You see,” Jim answered, “at the last moment when I was already dressed up, I noticed that I didn't have new socks. For the first time I was invited to the television, and I thought that simply wearing clean socks was not enough. So I needed to go to the store for new socks.”

The director was surprised. He asked, “Why do you need new socks? You could have come without the socks because we will be filming you only over the waist.”

“ You see, to be perfect, I need to feel myself perfect in everything, starting with the shirt and finishing with the pen in my pocket,” Jim said. “And if my socks have holes in them or my shoes are dirty, I’m not spotless anymore. And it may make me less confident.”

Don’t be surprised if you see a group of people dancing or shouting on the square. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Confused by their name? Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store involving 100 people gathering on Macy’s Department Store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the lobby of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.

Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to tease hipsters (追逐时尚的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of agreement and of being part of “the next big thing”. Many web logs, chat rooms and Web groups are devoted to the craze. Though flash mobs were originally regarded as useless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Such flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock or frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. They also have enormous economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michael’s famous song, beat it together. In another example, some people took part in a flash mob to warn people against negative words. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

A. give out leaflets of a brand bicycle to the passers-by

B. gather in public places performing and leave quickly

C. plan to go mountaineering on the first day of Horse Year

D. sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wages

2.According to the passage, what contribute(s) most to the popularity of the flash mob?

C. Political events. D. Digital networks.

3.The purpose of the writing is .

5 Secrets of Web Travel Sites

Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient,but comes with its own set of problems.

1.They know who's on a Mac and who's on a PC and who's going to spend more.

Last year,US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users.On average,Mac users lay out US$20?30 more per night on hotels and go for more stars,according to the Wall Street Journal.As a result,online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first.To avoid inadvertently paying more,sort results by price.

2.Their software doesn't always hook up to the hotel's system.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere—but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third?party providers.The middle?man's software isn't immune to system errors,so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

3.Don't be fooled by packages: Often,they're low?end items grouped together.

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel,a rental car,and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants,like flights with multiple layovers.Check the fine print.

4.You could miss out on loyalty points.

Third?party providers can get between you and frequent flyer miles or points.Many hotel loyalty programmes don't recognise external sites,others award only minimum points and exclude special offers,like double points on hotel stays.

5.Once your trip is purchased,you're on your own.

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard.Basically,when you arrive at the airport or hotel,you're just another client who booked at the lowest rate.

1.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.Third?party providers can ensure your reservation.

B.Mac users are likely to spend more money than PC users.

C.An online travel agency functions the same as an agent.

D.Packages usually provide travelers with satisfactory programmes.

2.What's the purpose of the passage?

A.To encourage readers to book a trip on an online travel site.

B.To make an advertisement about several travel sites online.

C.To convince readers not to book a trip on an online travel site.

D.To warn readers of some problems with booking trips online.

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆).

Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. The building—the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex—uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didn’t have to be imported.

The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys.

During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.

This is all possible only because Harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changes—days as warm as 31℃ commonly drop to 14℃ at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its hot summers and cold winters,” Pearce said.

The engineering firm of Ove Arup&Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23℃ and 25℃, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is fresh—far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

1.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?

A. It was designed in a smaller size.

B. No air conditioners were fixed in.

C. Its heating system was less advanced.

D. It used rather different building materials.

2.What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?

A. Fresh air from outside. B. Heat in the building.

C. Hollow space. D. Baseboard vent.

3.Why would a building like Eastgate Not work efficiently in New York?

A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.

B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.

C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.

D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.

4.The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system_____.

A. allows a wide range of temperatures

B. functions well for most of the year

C. can recycle up to 30% of the air

D. works better in hot seasons
