【题目】 With its subtle(微妙的)rules on tipping and not-so-subtle rules about carrying ID,Las Vegas is better enjoyed after a little research.This smart booklet will save you the bother.

Tipping

Las Vegas runs on tips.You should hand a dollar bill to the waiting staff who get you a drink,and the doorman who whistles you up a taxi.Taxi drivers and restaurant waiting staff should get 15%-20%(most bills do not include service charge);tour guides $5-$10;and you're oven expected to leave S2-S5 a day at the end of your hotel stay for the housekeeping staff you may never actually meet. On the plus side, the customer service in Las Vegas is second to none:if you tip well for a round of drinks in a club，for instance, a good waiter will later pick you out of the crowd and pour your drinks while you're still sitting in the fourth row.

Getting around

The airport is close to the centre.You can catch a shuttle to the major hotels for$11-$15,or get a quicker taxi for about $25.(Walking on the Strip is fun for people-watching, with elevated pedestrian walkways.A monorail runs from the MGM Grand to SLS with stops at: Bally's and Paris;the Flamingo; Harrah's and The LINQ;Las Vegas Convention Center and Westgate Vegas. A double-decker bus called the Deuce also runs all the way up the Strip to Fremont Street in the Downtown area.

Areas

When you think of Las Vegas,you're thinking of the Strip:a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard,about four miles long,packed with hotels and casinos(娱乐场所)that extends from the Mandalay Bay hotel in the south to the SLS hotel in the north.There are two skyscraper hotels a little to the east,Palms and the Rio,and some smaller.cheaper ones to the west.The other great area for the visitor is Downtown.four miles north of the central Strip.Don't think you've seen Las Vegas without visiting it.

Health

Especially in summer,make sure you stay well hydrated(含水的).All casinos and hotels are air-conditioned,sometimes heavily:consider carrying a jumper or jacket even during the summer.In the case of a medical emergency,call 911 or ask your hotel doorman for assistance.

Other essentials

Carry ID with proof of age (passport or driving licence) if you are going to a club;it will be checked no matter how old you! appear.

【题目】 Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？

Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.

Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"

And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______

A.The Waves series are suitable for adults.

B.It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.

C.Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.

D.Teenagers should be encouraged to read.

【2】What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______

A.Its writer.

B.Its cover.

C.Its price.

D.Its title.

【3】What do we know about the Waves series？ ______

A.They have attractive covers.

B.They are about real facts.

C.They are popular with teenage boys.

D.They are wrongly placed in the children section.

【4】What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______

A.To compare different series of teenage fiction.

B.To give information about a new series of books.

C.To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.

D.To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.

【题目】 The UN’s Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the world’s children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled. 【1】 Even though most of the world’s children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub-Saharan African countries, half of nine-year-olds cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence. 【2】

Several recent studies suggest education technology can help. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones.

【3】 That doesn’t mean buying computers for schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a stupidity on which plenty of money has been wasted. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use with minimal help from an adult. The software gets things right more often than the teachers do, adjusts itself to the child’s ability, and sends teachers instructions about what they are supposed to be teaching. 【4】

Technology is no panacea(万灵药) . 【5】 And authorities need to take teachers into account. But education technology can help greatly — by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most important, making up for the failings of the worst.

A. The reason is terrible teaching.

B. The achievements are really great.

C. However, the figure is not as impressive as it sounds.

D. Technology plays more and more important role in teaching.

E. Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.

F. Meanwhile it allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.

G. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on education technology.
