5．The world's first"Sky Pool"has been uncoated（曝光）-and it'll give anyone a touch of dizziness（眩晕），unless he or she is not bothered by heights．
Situated in the capital's new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station，the glass pool，hanging 10 storeys，or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings，is 25m long，5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m．Swimmers will be able to look down 35 meters to the street below as they take a dip，with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world．It's even got a bar，folding chairs and an orange garden．
The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms，a huge￡15 billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London．The project is creating thousands of apartments，the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $1 million，and the pool will only be open to the apartments'owners．
Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages．The designer，Sean Mulryan，desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before．The Sky Pool's transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade．
The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in central London．
Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a perfect view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye．It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market．

Hi Fellows，
I'm Li Hua，a senior high student from China．I'd like to share something with you．Since the beginning of senior high，the learning burden makes us students feel more stressed．Many of us often sit up late at night fighting for the College Entrance Exam； even a ten-minute break won't be let go．
As far as I know，lack of sleep does great harm to our heaith．For one thing，we can't concentrate in class if we don't get enough sleep．For another，we may get angry and impatient easily．By the same token，a ten-minute break is definitely necessary，which can help us get rid of tiredness and focus on next class period．A famous proverb goes well，"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"．How about your situation and opinion？
Looking forward to your reply．．
13．With more recognition than Halloween and less than Christmas，Valentine's Day as an imported festival faces a dangerous situation in China，where it's caught between forces of tradition and fashion．Valentine's Day has a natural enemy in China．And it is not the Chinese equivalent，which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar，usually around half a year away from Feb.14．It is the Spring Festival，also known as the Chinese New Year，that will influence the Feast of Saint Valentine．
The real disagreement between East and West probably took place over a century ago，when China's door was forced open by Western powers and Chinese scholars supported westernization as a means to strengthen our nation's ability to compete．The introduction of the solar calendar and Western measurements was both an acknowledgment of their influence and an effort to be accepted by the world order．
For a full century，we have had two systems running in parallel．When it comes to the eventual outcome，practicality usually beats all other concerns．Laws can help，such as the three traditional festivals of Tomb Sweeping，Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn gaining legal status in 2008 and giving every Chinese citizen a day off，but laws cannot push what people have no feelings for．So，the celebration or boycott of imported holidays or homegrown ones should be no cause for worry．If they are irrelevant，no social media will change the public's mind； and if they are accepted，there must be a need which they happen to satisfy．
Since we have no global Qin Shihuang to force one system on every country，we can always rely on a dual （双重） approach by which we share with the outside world on one hand but preserve our own ways of life on the other．

24．What does the author think about Valentine's Day in present China？A
A．It meets with a natural enemy．
B．It is better known than Christmas．
C．It strongly attacks Chinese culture．
D．It is more popular with young people．
25．The underlined word"equivalent"in the first paragraph refers toD．
A．the Dragon-boat Festival      
B．the Spring Festival
C．the Mid-autumn Festival     
D．the Chinese Valentine's Day
26．According to the author，the leading factor to decide what to celebrate isB．
A．current laws       B．people's needs     C．public media     D．age-old tradition
27．The author believes thatC．
A．the conflict between the East and the West will last long
B．Chinese festivals are to be paid more attention to in years
C．both Chinese and foreign systems of festivals can co-exist in China
D．this cultural shock is normal and will be received by more people in the future．

12．It is unfair that he gets very little inreward（报答） for his hard work．
12．Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold，ie，in people who suffer from cold infection．A study done by University of Michigan，has shown information that seems to be true for the general population．Babies are the most cold infected group，generally more than six colds in their first year．Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three．After three，girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys，and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys'two．The general cold infections continue to get less into adults．Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year．One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties，especially women，who show a rise in cold infection，because people in this age group are most likely to have young children．
The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well．With more and more income，the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower．Families with the lowest income usually suffer about a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people，and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person．Low income may also have an effect on our diet．Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection．

34．Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection？A
A．Small babies．
B．Teenage boys．
C．Adult women．
D．Elderly people．
35．The purpose of writing this passage is toB．
A．give the readers some tips to avoid cold infection
B．show a carefulmade study on cold infection
C．report the major reasons leading to cold infection
D．describe all the possible dangers of cold infection
36．How does economy play an important role in cold infection？D
A．Families with lower income suffer less from cold infection．
B．People who have lower income enjoy living in crowded rooms．
C．Rich families can have better nutrition and never get infected．
D．People with higher income have fewer chances of infection．
37．From the passage we can infer thatD．
A．age is the only important factor that connects with colds
B．families with the highest income will more easily get infected
C．people have lower frequency of infection as they grow older
D．a better diet may help people to fight against cold infection．
