题目内容

Leave a camera on a mountaintop, and chances are, you'll never see it again. But 24-year-old Paul Bellis, a university student from Wales, believed that most people were better than that, and set up a creative experiment to test out his theory.
"I was speaking to a friend who said you can't trust anyone, anywhere these days," Bellis told the Daily Mail. "I didn't want to believe that so I set up this experiment to find out what might happen and prove you can trust people."
Billis decided to do an experiment by hiking up a mountain called Snowdonia, taking a photo, and leaving his camera behind. He also attached a note to the camera, asking other hikers to take photos of themselves and then leave the camera there until the roll of film (胶卷) was empty. He also included his address, in case someone would be nice enough to return the camera to his home after the roll of film was finished.
Four days later, Bellis got a visit from a Snowdonia park manager, who came to return his camera. After Bellis got the film developed, he saw that his fellow hikers and followed his instructions. Thirty people had each taken photos of themselves at the mountain. From viewing the collection, it was clear that all the hikers had enjoyed the experiment.
As for the park manager, Brian, "I found the camera and thought it had been lost until I saw the note," he said. "I was passing his home and just dropped it off. I' m glad that the photos came out very well."

Subject: Complaint

Dear Mr. Price,

I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.

It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.

Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic(蒜). When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.

We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay.

The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.

You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Raymond Yuen

Are you ready to do your bit to stop global warming? Do you want to let the world know that you believe it is not doing nearly enough to fight climate change?

On Saturday, March 29, you will have a chance to communicate your concerns—to tell Ottawa and the entire world that you are devoted to doing your part.

You can do it by turning off your lights during Earth Hour, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Started last year by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia, Earth Hour this year is going international, with 17 cities signed up so far, including Toronto. Others include Chicago, Manila, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Melbourne, and Christchurch, New Zealand.

The challenge for us Torontonians will be to show we are as devoted to fighting global warming as Sydneysiders were last year, when more than 2.2 million of them participated and slashed the city's power use by 10 per cent for the planned hour.

Of course, one hour of darkness isn’t going to stop global warming. But the thinking behind Earth Hour is that it gets people personally involved. Besides giving people a chance to register their concerns over climate change, the goal is to get them to start changing their wasteful habits. And we all have them, including some we aren't even aware of.

Did you know, for example, that you are still drawing power if you leave your cellphone charger plugged in after charging your phone? The same is true for other electronic devices that you think you've turned off.

If you want to make a difference, sign up today at http://www.wwf.ca/EarthHour and make a pledge (宣誓) to turn off your lights when Earth Hour arrives on March 29. Persuade your friends, co-workers and your employer or employees to do their part.

But don't wait for this symbolic gesture to raise awareness that we all have to be part of the

　 solution. Start today to think about changes that can be made in your home and your workplace that will cut down on waste and greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

63. The passage mainly calls on people of _____ to join in the March 29th activity.

　　　 A. Sydney B. Toronto C. the world D. the 17 cities　

64. The Earth Hour movement mainly aims to get people to _______ to save our earth.

　　　 A. sense the danger B. make a pledge

C. perform their duties　 D. show their value　　　

65. Which is implied in the passage that should not happen in our daily life?

66. The best title for the passage is _____.

　　　 A. A Chance to Help Save the Earth B. A Chance to Help Prevent Pollution

　　　 C. An Hour to Fight Against Bad Habits D. An Hour to Keep Climate Unchanged

C
