The sleepover(通宵派对)is so common in America.Usually,it reminds us of images of girls in clean nightclothes,having pillow fights,doing makeup and gossiping.I'll say this now:most sleepovers are like that,but mine usually aren't.I've never been that girl as a child,so I have never really found doing makeup interesting,but there are some ways of sleepovers that stay the same.Let's take a closer look.

Usually,the activities start in the late afternoon.Girls show up carrying a sleeping bag and a pillow.After all the guests arrive,it's usually time to have dinner.Even though it differs,the most common food for sleepovers is pizza.

My friends and I usually go back to my room and start our crazy activities.Sometimes we have a dance party, sometimes we play games on the Internet,and other times we play role-playing games,which is my favorite thing to do as a child.My friends and I are all movie lovers,so sometimes we will pretend to be characters from a favorite movie.It's pretty clownish,but it was a very unforgettable part of my childhood.

When it gets to be past one o'clock in the morning,most of the girls are sleepy already but we usually keep doing whatever we are doing.Most of us end up falling asleep at around 5.

The sleepover is a great experience for girls.While the activities are different,the feelings are still the same.We all experience happiness and excitement.Sleepovers are fun because we get to be with our friends,which is the most important thing.

In London's art gallery six or seven men, mostly in their 30s, are busy painting the walls with new designs in colorful lettering and clever tricks. Tins of spray paint and beer stand on the ground. The atmosphere is not unlike that of a golf course: a mix of concentration and relaxation.

Graffiti(涂鸦) painting is traditionally a daring hobby. Teenagers avoid security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade that has almost disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the environment ministry shows that fewer places are damaged by tags(绘名) than ever. Graffiti are increasingly limited to only a few walls. In time the practice may die out entirely.

The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing, says Keegan Webb, who runs The London Vandal, a graffiti blog (博客). Numerous cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational change is apparent, too. Now teenagers prefer to play with iPads and video games. Those who do get involved tend to prefer street art to graffiti. And the internet helps painters win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.

Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those men are now older and less willing to take risks. "We can't run away from the police any more," says Ben Eine, who turned from tagging to street art. The hip-hop culture that inspired graffiti in the first place has faded. Video games and comic books provide more inspiration than music.

Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. Mr Eine says he has lots of friends who used to paint trains. Now with wives and children, they paint abandoned houses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting watching the football.

1.How do the painters feel while painting graffiti according to the first paragraph?

A. Free and focused. B. Free but stressed.

C. Particular and respected. D. Nervous but satisfied.

2.Why is graffiti painting traditionally considered as a daring hobby?

A. It takes much hard training.

B. It's at the risk of being caught.

C. It's dangerous to paint in trains.

D. It needs a great deal of knowledge.

3.What does the underlined word “decline” in the third paragraph refer to?

A. Reduction of graffiti. B. Ban of government.

C. Disappearance of graffiti. D. Better policing of government.

4.What conclusion can we draw from the fourth paragraph?

A. Graffiti artists like to be the focuses in public.

B. The early graffiti had something to do with music.

C. Graffiti artists regret over what they did in the past.

D. Painting is much healthier than watching football.

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”

1.. There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. 2.. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年)offered to take his place. 3.

4.. If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑) his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 5.. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A.This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

B. People find jobs in a variety of ways.

C. It’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.
