(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing's bid for the 2008 Olympic Games)

　　Mr．President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!

　　Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one thing first about 2008．You're going to have a great time in Beijing．

　　Many people are fascinated by China’s Sport legends(传奇)in history．For example, back to Song Dynasty, which was the 11th century, people in our country started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football．The game was so popular that women were also participating．So now, you probably will understand why our women football team does so well today．

　　With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man－Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese．Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit-Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt．Everest．In China, the torch will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society．On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay．

　　I am afraid I can not give the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time．Before I end, let me share with you one story．Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible descriptions of a faraway land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true．And Marco answered：What I have told you was not even half of what I saw．Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you．

　　Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to all of you to athletes, spectators(观众)and the worldwide television audience alike．Come and join us．

　　Thank you, Mr．President．Thank you all．

I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安).“Do you want to try it first?" he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do I need to?" I replied. "There's nothing wrong with it?" This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. "No, no. But you should try it," he said encouragingly." Compare it with the others. "

I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

1. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should __ .

A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others

C. get more information about different companies

D. trust him and stop asking questions

2. What does the writer mean by "it would be worth half what I paid for it" (Paragraph 2) ?

A. He should get a 50% discount.

B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.

C. The quality of the camera was not good.

D. The camera would soon fall in value.

3. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he __ .

A. knew very little about it

B. didn't trust the shop assistant

C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

D. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers

4. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer's opinion, __

A. people waste too much money on cameras

B. cameras have become an important part of our daily life

C. we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

D. famous companies care more about profit than quality

For better or worse, multiple marriages aren't just for actress Elizabeth Taylor （famous for her eight marriages） anymore．

More Americans than ever are tying the knot for the third time or more．

Lynn Y. Naugle, a 53-yeap-old family therapist in New Orleans, says that people's personal needs and desires simply change as their life evolves．

"What functions well in the first part of our lives may not function well in the second or third part of our lives," she explains．The first marriage lasted 21 years, her second marriage five years．Two years ago, she wed for a third time, and she describes this union as an "extremely easy marriage"．

Today, at an estimated one of seven weddings, the bride, the groom or both are making that trip down the aisle for at least the third time．That's twice as many as a generation ago, according to the US National Centre for Health Statistics．

In part, the sudden change in multiple marriages is a side effect of the 1970s divorce increase that has supplied an ever expanding pool of divorced singles．Even the simple fact that people are living longer has opened the door to marrying more often．No fault divorce laws （meaning no one is blamed for the failure of the marriage）, and cultural changes have also meant there's less pressure than in past generations to stay in a joyless or abusive marriage．

While a single divorce didn't block either Ronald Reagan or Bob Dole from seeking the most highly demanding job in America—the US presidency—modern society still raises an; eyebrow at more than one

marriage mistake．

Indeed, there are signs that attitudes are changing．"It's coming out of the closet or becoming more accepted," says Glenda Riley, who wrote a book on the history of divorce in the US．"There's still embarrassment on the personal level, while there is growing acceptance on the public level for three or more marriages in a lifetime．"

There is no guarantee, of course, that the third time is the best．To the contrary, second and third marriages run an equal or greater risk of divorce than first marriages, which today are given 4 out of 10 odds of failing, and they tend to end more quickly．Divorce statistics show that failed second marriages typically end two years sooner than first marriages, lasting six years on average rather than eight．That leaves some doubly divorced people open for a third try at a relatively young age．

1.What does the underlined phrase "tying the knot" （Para．2） mean?

A．Getting married． B．Getting engaged．

C．Having babies． D．Attending funerals,

2.What is NOT the reason for the increase in multiple marriages according to the passage?

A．People are healthier and enjoy a longer life than ever before．

B．Many people have become single after a divorce boom in the past years．

C．There is no divorce law restricting people to getting divorced．

D．People have less pressure to leave a joyless marriage．

3.What can we learn from the seventh paragraph?

A．Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole failed in seeking the job （the US presidency） because they were divorced．

B．Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole succeeded in seeking the job （the US presidency） because they were not divorced．

C．Modern society accepts multiple marriages completely．

D．There is still prejudice against multiple marriages in modern society．

4.Which of the statement is WRONG?

A．Acceptance to multiple marriages is different on personal level and public level．

B．Because second marriages end sooner than first ones, people get married for the third time at a relatively young age．

C．People learn from experience so that a second or third marriage is more stable

D．The first marriage lasts eight year on average．
