         Beijing's battle to correct English-language signs before the 2008 Olympics has started.
         By the end of the year, all public "WC" in the city will be called "toilets". In Western countries people
    don't use "WC", because it is quite rude in English.
          Road signs are also on the list. These signs will be changed into real English words. For example,
    "Dong Chang' an Jie" will become "East Chang'an Avenue".
          But there is still a question. What to do about menus? Thousands of tourists, athletes and reporters
    will visit the city, and most of them can't speak Chinese or understand Chinese characters.
         Now linguists (语言学家) are trying hard to translate popular Chinese dishes like "ants climbing the
    tree" into good English.
         Chinese children will be able to get a taste of adult working life in the Kids City. It will allow children
    aged 5 to 10 to try out different jobs after it opens.
         The world's first Kids City was opened in Mexico City in 1999. In 2006, Kids City opened its Tokyo
    Park in Japan. It became an attraction to kids. Now it will begin in China. It will offer more than 50 jobs,
    including pilots, doctors, police officers and lawyers. Inside the city, every kid would get a bank
    account (账户) holding special money. And they can only spend the money in the park. They could
    earn more money by working in different places.                          (written in 2007)

    1. Why will all public "WC" be changed into "toilets" in Beijing?

    [     ]

    A. Because it's not real English.
    B. Because it is quite rude in English.
    C. Because foreigners can't understand it.
    D. Because it's too short.
    2. _____ is real English.

    [     ]

    A. "Xi Chang'an Street"
    B. "Dong Chang'an Jie"
    C. "East Chang'an Avenue"
    D. "Ants climbing the tree"
    3. It's about _____ years since the world's first Kids City was opened.

    [     ]

    A. seven
    B. eleven
    C. two
    D. five
    4. What's the Kids City opened for?

    [     ]

    A. Only to let children have fun.
    B. Only to let children make money.
    C. To let children find good jobs.
    D. To let children get a taste of adult working life.
    5. Which of the following is NOT true?

    [     ]

    A. The Kids City will allow children aged 5 to 12 to try out different jobs.
    B. Children can be pilots in the Kids City.
    C. The Kids City will be built in China soon.
    D. Children can only spend the special money in the park.

  • 根据短文内容,完成下列各题。
         Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich
    person? 
         A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as "earning
    money to buy a house and a car" "to improve one's life quality" "finding a good job". Wang You worked
    in a small firm (商行) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However,
    he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing
    in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job. 
         Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making
    progress and people's life goals have be- come more practical. One researcher says, "Everybody has
    his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal
    will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma, studying hard to get a diploma will become
    his life goal; and if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he
    will idle away (虚度) his lifetime
