　　Greenspace facilities (设施) are contributing to an importrant degree to the quality of the city environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-proved statement than on the base of a closely reasoned scientific proof. Recognizing the importance of greenspaces in the city environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which people are using these spaces. As to this subject I shall within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect (方面) only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities.

　　The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in more attention for forms of recreation far from home, while there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The city environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more required activities can also have recreative aspect.

　　The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.

1．The importance of greenspaces in the city environment ______.

[　　]

A．has been recognized

B．is paid little attention to

C．is accepted on the base of scientific proof

B．separated recreation facilities far from home

C．improved recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood

D．enabled people to reach the best standard of living

3．The word “recreation” in the passage probablymeans, ______.

[　　]

A．activities done for pleasure or enjoyment

B．doing something again in a creative way

C．doing something important after work

D．required activities done after work

4．According to the author, greenspaces should be designed ______.

[　　]

A．to reduce the number of recreative activities.

B．to attract more and more people

C．for people to use more conveniently

D．for people to do recreative activities at the street door of the house

5．The main idea of this passage is that ________.

[　　]

A．attention must be paid to the improvement of recreation

B．greenspace facilities should be used better to improve the quality of life

C．the city environment is providing more recreative activities

D．we should try our best to raise our living standard

“What’s in a name?”According to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much．“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet．”But Shakespeare may have been wrong．In most cultures, names matter a great deal．

Americans choose names for their children with care．Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning．Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”，for example．The last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name．A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd．Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they don’t like．On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly relative or even a famous person．The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation．Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today．But other names—like John and David, Mary and Sarah—have stood the test of time and continue to be favorites．

People in America don’t always call their friends and relatives by their given names．Instead, they often use nicknames．Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name．For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy．As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname they wish to be called．Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B．J．or R．C．And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames．Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar．What’s in a name? A world of significance．So if you’re choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one．Amide-up name could sound strange to native English speakers．And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either．But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression．As an American politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears．”

1．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?

A．People change names in order to be popular with the new generation．

B．Names will change by themselves in order to be popular．

C．Some names may no longer be popular among the new generation．

D．No names can stand the test of time．

2．When choosing names, you should stick to the following principles except that ．

A．the impression a name gives is more important than its meaning

B．you can name after a well-known person

C．surname should be paid attention to

D．you can create a name that is special

3．The word “initial” in paragraph 3 probably means ．

A．nickname B．the first letter C．short form D．title

4．The author will name a newly born baby girl ．

A．Bertha B．Fanny C．Yunyun D．Elizabeth

5．What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Names have great significance to Americans．

B．Names change when time goes by．

C．Chinese people should be careful when choosing their English names．

D．Roses smell sweet by any other name．

　　Beijing－A recent Chinese blockbuster(轰动的作品)“A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker(民工)carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves．But while the image(形象)of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle(偷着乐), it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it．

　　“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing．

　　Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about．“It must be 10 years ago,” he said．

　　Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers．

　　Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991．Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily．“Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said．

　　For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever．This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible．

　　With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents．

　　In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998．

　　A recent survey by local media revealed(显示)that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income．The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day．Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life．

　　Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment．
