Sydney—Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students want them.

Mary Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心的事) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.

She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.

Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.

Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

If you boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now. That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.

       Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐).

       A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24.83, and an international newspaper $6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包) is a steal at $4.80.

       London takes the No.2 place, up from No.5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算) London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No.5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.

       Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.

       Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide.

What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?

   A. an act of stealing                      B. something delicious

   C. something very cheap                D. an act of buying

London has become the second most expensive city because of ______.

   A. the high cost of clothing            B. the stronger pound against the dollar

   C. its expensive transportation        D. the high prices of fast food meals

Which city is the third most expensive on the list?

   A. Tokyo.         B. Hong Kong.             C. Moscow.                  D. Sydney.

Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?

   A. New York.   B. Los Angeles.             C. San Francisco.   D. Toronto.

下面是一篇关于澳大利亚几个旅游景点的简介及几位旅客的相关信息,请阅读下列简介和游客的相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。首先,请阅读下列各景点的简介:

A.     Northern Territory & Darwin

Australia’s Northern Territory is a vast region with diverse geography. It stretches from the tip of the north coastline to the outback. Waterfalls, interesting rock formations including Uluru (Ayers Rock), native wildlife and parklands are commonplace throughout. Darwin is the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory—its relaxing atmosphere and location make it the perfect centre for touring the area.

B.      Queensland

      Australia’s fastest growing state is home to 3.6 million people, taking up around 25% of the continent’s area. Whether you’re after adrenalin-pumping adventure, relaxing on sun-kissed beaches, trekking through ancient rainforest or snorkeling (潜水) on the Great Barrier Reef, there’s an experience just waiting to become YOUR treasured memory. Where else but Queensland?

C.     Victoria & Melbourne

      Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, is a city of spectacular 19th-century buildings alongside contemporary structures and surrounded by large areas of parkland. It is home to more than three million people from more than 200 nations. Take a walk or a tram (电车) ride and enjoy a delicious meal, wonderful architecture, beautiful parks and gardens, and fabulous shopping.

D.     Sydney

      Including the harbour’s islands and much of the foreshore (前滩), Sydney Harbour National Park is full of picnic areas, bays, harbour pools and beaches to relax in. It’s where ferries, yachts, cruise vessels, jet boats, catamarans and kayaks all jostle for (争夺) a piece of the world’s best harbour, and you can enjoy a picnic surrounded by the harbour.

E.      Adelaide

       There’s so much to do in South Australia. And it’s all so close. Adelaide is the perfect gateway to the State’s 12 tourism regions… From cozy bed, tasty breakfasts and seaside villas to luxury city penthouses and gourmet retreats, we’ve got the accommodation to suit every taste and budget.

F.      Tasmania

       Tasmania is a land apart—a place of wild and beautiful landscapes; friendly, welcoming people; a pleasant, temperate climate; wonderful wine and food; a rich history; and a relaxed island lifestyle. Whether traveling from the ancient and varied terrain (地带) of the Kimberley to the towering forests of the southwest, from the unique coral reefs off our coast to the endless red plains and dunes (沙丘) of our arid heartland, you’ll find amazing series of outdoor experiences and enjoyable holidays.
