England continues to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. London in particular is one of the most visited cities and draws people in with its appeal, history and pubs. England’s smaller cities, like Bath and Oxford, are equally as attractive with a lot of culture and fewer crowds. Liverpool, birthplace of The Beatles, has a rich musical history. The countryside has wonderful natural beauty. Here are some tips on traveling in England.

Free museums—Public museums offer free admission in every city throughout England and the UK. It’s a great way to learn about the country’s most influential artists and history, and spend a rainy day without paying a cent.

Book early—Book all transportation well in advance, even if you don’t plan to use it. Fares can be around £ 2 with a little planning. The Megabus not only runs buses but also provides trains throughout England and is the best choice for cheap travel throughout the country.

Pub food—Eating in England can be quite expensive, but for good cheap and filling meals, visit the local pubs, where you can get a good meal for less than £10. Besides, the pubs are a great way to meet people!

Get a Taste of UK card—The taste of the UK card offers up to 50% off at selected restaurant. You don’t need to be an English to get the card, and you needn’t pay the first month’s membership fee, which is perfect for most travelers.

Take a free walking tour—Many major cities in England offer free walking tours. They usually last a few hours and are a great way to see the city.

About five years ago I started at a new school when my family moved to Iowa. I was just a little excited, but I worried I would never fit in with (适应) the other sixth graders.

Lucy, a girl in my class, who I thought was not ready for change, didn’t like me from the start. In fact, I was sure she hated me. I could tell she thought I was a fool.

My teacher made us sit by each other for the last term. Lucy was surprised that I didn’t wear make­up (化妆). I didn’t exactly look like the coolest girl. But, I kept smiling at her, though she rolled her eyes, and I kept telling her she looked beautiful, even when she was angry.

Finally, Lucy let me talk to her, even in sight of her “cool” friends. She started telling me how beautiful I looked. I still remember that first time when she smiled at me saying that, and I smiled right back, telling her thanks. Lucy invited me over to her house for a party, and talked to me all the time instead of her other friends.

I may move to Arizona after that, but I will never forget Lucy. She was a great friend. I still smiled at Lucy when she made fun of me. I’m not stupid, I didn’t think she was right in doing those things, but I still put up with (忍受) it. And we became great friends.

About two weeks ago, I read a sentence by Abraham Lincoln: “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” Immediately, I smiled, thinking of Lucy.

26. From Paragraph 5, we know the author thought ________.

A. it was a waste of time to make friends with Lucy

B. it was right of her to suffer when making friends

C. it was foolish of her to smile at Lucy all the time

D. it was a shameful thing to put up with what Lucy did

What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform(贸易平台) where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoes—the list goes on and on.

The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. EBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyer and seller into contact with each other. All you have to do is make an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business: the world is your market place. Of course for each item sold eBay gets a percentage and that is great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

28．We learn from the text that eBay provides people with_______.

A．a place to exhibit their own photos B．a website for them to upgrade

C．a chance to buy things at low prices D．a way of buying and selling goods

29．Why did Peter create eBay after graduating from university?

A．For fun. B． To make money.

C．For gathering the engineers. D．To finish a task of his company.

30．From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2, we learn that Peter______.

A．did not feel lonely B．was always hopeful

C．became more and more successful D．did not think about the past

31．How does eBay make money from its website?

A．By charging for each sale B．By making e-photos.

C．By listing items online D．By bringing callers together.

While your pet fish may appear to be unaware of your presence, chances are that it knows you extremely well and can probably even identify you from a crowd of human faces!

To test if this was accurate, some scientists decided to study archerfish（喷水鱼）. These animals don’t have a sophisticated（复杂的）brain that is necessary to recognize the slight differences between human facial features.

They began by presenting four archerfish with images of two human faces. Initially, the fish spit at both. However, they soon learned spitting water at the one selected by the researchers earned them a food treat. After that, they focused primarily on that image. The researchers then took the experiment one step further by introducing 44 other human faces to the mix.

To the researcher’s astonishment, the trained archerfish were able to recall the learned image almost 81% of the time. And this accuracy improved to 86% when the researchers made the identification even harder, by replacing the colored photos with a set of black and white images and hiding the shape of the head.

The results of the study suggest that though having tiny brains, archerfish may have developed high visual discrimination abilities. While it is contrary to the previous theory that a sophisticated brain is necessary to recognize human faces, the researchers believe they do not recognize faces by recalling complex facial information like gender and identity, but more likely by discriminating between detailed patterns. Even so, the fact that these archerfish could “remember” those faces demonstrates that they have an impressive memory for details that lasts much longer than the originally-thought 3 seconds!

This is not the first time researchers have realized how “smart” fish are. Previous studies have shown that fish can recognize those fish they have “socialized” with previously, and even recall complex three-dimensional maps of their surroundings.

32. What is the purpose of the study?

A. To describe archerfish are easy to teach.

B. To prove archerfish can recognize human faces.

C. To tell people archerfish like to be rewarded.

D. To show archerfish can easily develop a habit.

33. Why did the researchers use black and white images?

A. They could get these images easily.

B. Archerfish got tired of color images.

C. They wanted to make the task more difficult.

D. These images wouldn’t get ruined by water.

34. What conclusion did researchers draw in the study?

A. Archerfish could distinguish detailed patterns.

B. Archerfish have a 3-second memory.

C. Archerfish have a special form of communication.

D. Archerfish could remember complex facial information.

35. What can we infer from the text?

A. Fish are social animals. B. The results shocked the researchers.

C. Fish are able to tell different shapes. D. Fish are as clever as humans.

E

No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. ___36___ It is the ability to control one’s impulses, emotions, desires and behavior.
