15.Car-free neighborhoods exist all over Europe.A quarter of households in Britain live without cars.Vauban in Germany is one of the largest car-free neighborhoods in Europe.If you live in the district,you are required to confirm once a year that you do not own a car-or,if you do own one,you must buy a space in a multi-storey car park on the edge of the district.
Vehicles in most of the European car-free areas are physically stopped from entering the streets where people live.Exceptions are made for emergency vehicles and removal vans but not for normal deliveries.A few parking spaces nearby are available to buy (usually around one space for every five homes) and a few are reserved for car club vehicles.Cycling is a vital means of transport.
Car-free areas of this kind exist in Amsterdam,Vienna,Hamburg and so on.There is even a small one in Edinburgh.
There is another form of car-free development.Recently we have overlooked its potential.Most pedestrianzed (步行) city or neighborhood centers in Britain are almost entirely commercial.But a few farsighted councils have brought back housing and residents,without cars or parking,into city centers that would otherwise be deserted after 6pm.
Car-free UK was set up to improve European-style car-free development in this country.We are not anti-car,but pro-choice.We have recently run public meetings in London to set up a new car-free association for London,which is beginning to look at areas of the city from which traffic could be removed.We know considerable potential demand exists for traffic-free housing in London,and probably in a number of other major cities.

60.Vehicles can  only enter the car-free areas ifA.
A.they come for special reasons
B.they are proved to be up to standard
C.they own a parking space nearby
D.they are permitted by the residents
61.If you live in the district,you have toC.
A.leave your car at the edge of the district
B.avoid driving a car except in emergency
C.let people know every year that you do not own a car
D.confirm that you haven't driven a car for a whole year
62.We learn from the last paragraph thatC.
A.car-free areas have not been set up in London
B.it's still difficult to promote car-free development in London
C.traffic-free housing in London is in great demand
D.traffic is a big problem in car-free areas
63.The author of the passage is probablyB.
A.a resident of a car-free area
B.a promoter of car-free area
C.a resident who wants to move into a car-free area
D.a reporter covering news about car-free development.

6.Ryo Desmidt is in his first year at a kindergarten in Hong Kong and seems like an especially gifted child.He is three years old.Since he was ten months old,his mother,Momoe,has been taking him to a language center five times a week where he is taught to listen,speak and interact in English,Mandarin and Japanese.He attends a language school in the city that offers courses for children as young as a few months old.
Some parents will even pay a tutor to speak in a particular language for an hour in the belief their baby will absorb this.This is just one of the many examples of how parents in Hong Kong are trying to get ahead of the game by giving their children a competitive edge in the race for limited school places.

At this time of the year,parents go into a crazy queuing for application forms at schools acroos Hong Kong.According to Fung Kai Kindergarten in the city's Sheung Shui district,around 2,000people camped out overnight to apply for only 240available spaces on October 7-police were even called in to deal with complaints about people cutting the queue.
In Hong Kong,where formal pre-school education begins at the age of three,many prospective parents begin mapping out education plans before their children are born.Desmidt,an expat mother living in Hong Kong,revealed she started looking for potential kindergartens and playgroups during her pregnancy.

10.Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识)is a perfect mental picture.We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent.We are traveling by train.Out the windows,we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways,of children waving at a crossing,of cattle feeding on a distant hillside,of smoke pouring from a power plant,or row upon row of corn and wheat,of flat lands and valleys,of mountains and rolling hills,of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination.On a certain day at a certain hour,we will pull into the station.Bands will be playing and flags waving.Once we get there,so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle.How restlessly we pace the aisles,condemning(谴责)the minutes for loitering(虚度)-waiting,waiting,waiting for the station.
"When we reach the station,that will be it!"we cry."When I'm 38.""When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!""When I put the last kid through college.""When I have paid off the debt!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of rement,I shall live happily ever after!"
Sooner or later,we must realize there is no station,no one place to arrive at once and for all.The true joy of life is the trip.The station is only a dream.It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish(appreciate) the moment"is a good motto,actually it isn't the burdens of today that drive man mad.It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles.Instead,climb more mountains,eat more icecream,swim more rivers,watch more sunsets,laugh more and cry less.Life must be lived as we go along.Then the station will come soon enough.

20.Britain's most popular lie has been discovered,with one in four people admitting using"Sorry I had no signal"when returning a missed mobile phone call,a survey found.
According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after they hit the"ignore"button when their mobile rang.The second most common fib is"I haven't got any cash on me"when asked for money by beggars.Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with"I didn't get your text"in 18th,"Our server was down"in 20th and"My battery died"in 26th place.
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year.One in three Britons have lied about their weight,a quarter have fibbed about the amount of debt they are in and 30 percent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do.
Almost a quarter of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit,despite thinking the opposite.More than 40 percent of women have admitted lying about how much new clothes actually cost while 30 percent have fibbed about how much they've had to drink.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars.The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying,compared to 58 of men.Men tell the most fibs,coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.
A spokesman for one poll,which carried out the research of 4,300 adults,said,"As a nation we are obsessed with trying to be nice and not upsetting people.Often little white lies are used to cover what we actually want to say."
"Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the situation in which they are delivered."He added,"It was sad to see a string of compliments in the top 50,but once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment(恭维) with a lie than destroy someone with the truth."

7.Indian weddings have always been special occasions,celebrated with passion,enthusiasm,and,in the case of the wealthy,elaborate (精心准备的) settings and food.For centuries,friends and family sang songs,youngsters danced,and cooks dished out traditional foods when Indian wedding festivities got under way.
But times have changed.Weddings have become occasions for India's rapidly growing wealthy classes to show off their new wealth.Professional singers and entertainers have replaced the amateur melodies,wonderful parties at five-star hotels are now the pattern,and unusual foreign foods are served along with traditional Indian food.
Neeta Raheja,runs a wedding planning company that organizes weddings ranging in cost from﹩20,000to﹩2million."Being really wasteful was something done by the very best class.Today,people who are not that rich want to do like that when it comes to weddings,"she explained.
Pumima Mehta,recently hosted her daughter's wedding.She says organizing a show with style is important in a society where weddings have become statements."I may have personally liked a simple ceremony,but who wants it?You know,everyone is judging you at the affair,"she said.
Many now choose several days of feasting and dancing.The parties might have settings based on famously great Bollywood films,fresh flowers flown in from Bangkok,perhaps a hired Mereedes instead of the traditional horse to carry the groom.
"They hire helicopters,and the helicopters are showering petals(花瓣).In the 1990s,we had elephants standing in a row and showering petals,"Neeta Raheja said.
Now the wedding industry is a﹩10billion market growing by 25percent a year.Such celebrations can wipe away years of savings for many families-but no one is complaining.
Suresh Garg,the manager of one famous jewelry store in New Delhi,says he did do a lot of business ahead of the wedding season that runs from November to February."Income levels are also going up.There is plenty of money available,salaries are rising,share values have increased,people are flooded with money,"he said.

"Yes.She's my daughter."
