题目内容

One thing Britain is famous for is pubs,and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk,do business,or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter,or ale,and is usually served at room temperature. As a result,the British are famous for their " warm beer"！

If you prefer a cold beer,ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout—you may have heard of Guinness,which is a type of stout. This is a cold,black beer and takes a long time to pour,so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it.

All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml) . To order,you need to ask for a pint or half,and then name the beer. So,you could say "A pint of bitter,please."

Another drink is cider. This is like beer,but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet.

Wine,red or white,is normally available in all pubs,as are spirits such as whisky,gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) or doubles (50ml) .

It is not,however,necessary to drink alcohol. Nonalcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice,lemonade or cola,among others.

If you visit a pub in a group,it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

So,follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub,and, "Cheers!"

6. C从第2段可知A项为错，而和朋友一起去时，只需为每个朋友买一样饮料即可，所以D 项不对，从第5段可知，点酒只能以pints或者halves为单位购买，所以B项不对。从倒数第3段可知C项正确。

7. B本句话指如果不去酒吧，英国之行就不完备，所以，酒吧在英国很重要。

8. B从第1段表达的"如果你去英国就一定不要忘记酒吧"，和下文的一些介绍，可以知道本文主要是写给到英国去的观光客，而不是酒吧的客人。

A water bearer in India had two large pots. One of the pots had a crack in it,and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk,the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For two years this went on daily,with the water bearer delivering one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it had considered to be bitter failure,it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself,and I want to apologize to you."

"Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"

"Because this crack in my side I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load. Because of my faults,you do not get full value for your efforts," the pot explained.

The water bearer felt sorry and said, "As we return to the master's house,I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."Indeed,as they went up the hill,the cracked pot took notice of the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path,and this cheered it some. But at the end of the path,it still felt bad because it had still leaked half of its load,and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path,but not on the other pot's side? That is because I have always known about your weakness,and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,and every day while we walk back from the stream,you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are,he would not have this beauty."

Each of us has our own unique weakness. We are all cracked pots. But if we will allow it,the Lord will use our weakness to grace His Father's table. In God's great economy,nothing goes to waste. Don't be ashamed of your weakness. Acknowledge them,and you too can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength.

Narrator： (scene shows an old woman,washing her supper dishes) For several years,a widow has lived in her own pleasant tworoom and kitchenette apartment in a rebuilt brownstone near East River. Her late husband,Mr. H. T. Miller,had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment,has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store. No one who lives near her has taken note of her existence,with her oldfashioned dress and oldfashioned hairstyle,and she never uses any cosmetics (化妆品) .Her daily activities are monotonous,smoking an occasional cigarette,preparing her own meals,feeding her canary (a kind of bird) named " Tommy"， and keeping her tworoom apartment as clean as possible. (Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch,reading through the afternoon newspaper.) Narrator： (camera changes scene to Rod Serling,a glowing cigarette held in his hand) One would think that her life would be as normal as anyone else's. She doesn't mind the wall of isolation she has created around herself all these years. But all of this is going to change. Mrs. Miller is going to meet a person,a small child,who,like her,has no friends,goes through life unnoticed,and ventures only as far as Mrs,Miller. Would it be a dream of happiness come true? Or perhaps the worst nightmare Mrs. Miller has ever experienced ...In the Twilight Zone!Title shows： " Miriam" Act I：At the Theater (Scene 1,at Mrs. Miller's apartment)

Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills.

The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

A. a heavy load

B. a duty or responsibility

C. the main theme of an article

D. capacity

( ) 2. According to the passage,the reason that most people involved in the surveys feel unhappy is that .

A. they are faced with financial problems

B. they are not naturally born optimists

C. they are lack of sense of security

D. they are bothered by the rising prices

( ) 3. From the passage,we know that the high savings rate shows that .

A. life for most Chinese is no longer a daily struggle for basic necessities

B. the country's social security system is incomplete

C. the public are too busy to spend

D. it is not easy to change this traditional custom

( ) 4. The writer offers the example of "safety network" is to show .

A. the officials in China can enjoy better social welfare

B. the advantages of a policy

C. a way to solve the problem mentioned above
