| The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness. As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience. A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. 1. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of modern buildings" means ___________. A. to pull down hospital buildings B. to decorate hospitals with art collections C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round 2. According to Peter Senior, _______. A. art is losing its audience in modern society B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting D. art should be encouraged in British hospitals 3. After the improvement of the hospital environment, patients may _______. A. no longer need drugs in their recovery B. no longer depend wholly on expensive drugs C. need good-quality drugs in their recovery D. use more pain killers in their recovery 4. The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that_______. A. Peter's enterprise is developing greatly B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity C. they are talented hospital artists D. the role of hospital environment is being recognized |

| Polyester (聚酯 ) is now being used for bottles. ICI, the chemicals and plastics company, believes that it is now beginning to break the control of glass on the bottle business and thus take advantage of this huge market. All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly worldwide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars, and they felt that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles and cans. Since 1982 it has opened three new factories producing "Melinar", the raw material from which high quality polyester bottles are made. The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s, when soft drinks companies like Coca Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-liter containers. Because of the build-up of the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them. A new plastic had to be made. Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles, and will continue to be so unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes. Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter, less noisy when being handled, and can be reused. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester, since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time-consuming. The public, though, have been more difficult to persuade. ICI's commercial department is developing different bottles with interesting shapes, to try and make them visually more attractive to the public. The next step could be to develop a plastic which could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container. 1. Plastics of various kinds have been used for making bottles__________. A. since 1982 B. since the 1970s but only for large bottles C. since the 1960s but not for liquids with gas in them D. since companies like Coca Cola first tried them 2. Why is ICI's Plastics Division interested in polyester for bottles? A. The other things they make are not selling well. B. Glass manufacturers cannot make enough new bottles. C. They have factories which could be adapted to make it. D. The price of oil keeps changing. 3. Manufacturers think polyester bottles are better than glass bottles because they ______. A. are cheaper B. are more suited to small sizes C. are more exciting to look at D. do not break easily 4. Plastic containers for holding food in the same way as cans______. A. have been used for many years B. are an idea that interests the plastics companies C. are possible, but only for hot food D. are the first things being made in the new factories |

| The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry. Sources at the Beijing People's Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city's laidoff workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This will create job opportunities for laidoff workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference. Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining. In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laidoff workers. By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40's, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades. They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter's tuition at a university in Shanghai. 1. What is talked about in the passage? A. Home service. B. Modern city life. C. Laidoff workers. D. Social status. 2. Why didn't the laidoff workers like to do home services in the past? A. Low salary. B. Lower social status. C. Dirty working condition. D. Too much extra work. 3. Why were many laidoff workers at a loss? A. Because they didn't get used to the new way of life. B. Because they are too old to find a new job. C. Because they dislike being laid off. D. Because they think they lost their social status. 3. In which ways is home service industry good for our society? A. It meets the needs of modern life. B. It provides work opportunities for the laidoff worker C. It is a new industry. D. A and B. |

| As the English language has changed at a fast speed in this century, so has the use of the English language. After the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was founded in 1927, the particular style of speech of the BBC announcers was recognized as Standard English or Received Pronunciation (RP) English. Now, most people still consider that the pronunciation and delivery of BBC announcers in the clearest and most understandable spoken English. English has had a strong association with class and social status. However, since the Second World War there has been a considerable change of attitude towards speech snobbery (势利), and hallmarks (标准) of class distinction such as styles of speech have been gradually thrown away, especially by the young generation. As the need has arisen, new words have been invented or found from other languages and integrated into English. Similarly, old words and expressions have been discarded (丢弃) as their usefulness has reduced or the fashions have passed. This also happens to styles and modes of speech which became fashionable at a particular time and in specific circumstances. By the end of the 1960s it became apparent that it was not necessary to speak Standard English or even correct grammar to become popular, successful and rich. The fashionable speech of the day was no longer the feature of a privileged class but rather an expression of classlessness. The greatest single influence of the shaping of the English language in modern times is the American English. Over the last 25 years the English used by many people, particularly by those in the media, advertising and show business, has become more and more mid-Atlantic in style, delivery and accent. In the 1970s, fashion favoured stressless pronunciation and a language full of jargon, slang and "in" words, much of it quite incomprehensible to the outside world. What is considered modern and fashionable in Britain today is often not the kind of English taught in schools and colleges. 1. According to the author, there was a trend in the U.S. for the young people _______. A. to speak Standard English B. to speak English without class distinction C. to speak English with class distinction D. to speak English with grammar mistakes 2.The word "mid-Atlantic" in the passage (Para. 6) probable means _________. A. American and European B. American and British C. the Atlantic Ocean D. in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 3. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. Standard English is taught in school and colleges B. the young people are defiant because they refuse to speak standard English C. the English language is influenced by American English in the last 25 years D. there has been a great change in the English language in this century |

| Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. 1. _________. Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social exchange. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways in which we adjust ourselves to the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness. 2. __________. He or she is like a fish out of water.
