| In Europe, people make friends across the borders through town twinning. Two towns in different countries decide to become twin towns. Their citizens find pen-friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away. Sometimes schools even exchange school classes for two or three weeks! For example, Cerman middle school students study for a while at the school in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later,their British friends come to study in Germany.

Others send lectures to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town, and show photos and slides.

| London has more than nine million visitors every year. They come and visit some of the most famous places in England: Big Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames. You can see some of the most interesting places in London by getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the London Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames. The River Thames is London's main waterway. It has shaped the capital's landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along the river. The Clock Tower to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, has become one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bell, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes,has become well-known throughout the nation. No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tower may be London's most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old. Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Place is the most famous. It has been the home of the royal family since. Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visit some of the rooms in August and September. And most mornings of the'year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard. About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen's homes-Windsors Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the rooms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictures, tables and chairs again. Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, the best way to start the day is to fill up with an Engnsh breakfast. You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place to stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England's many ales(浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and cafes in London, and simply watch the busy world go by. 1. We can leam from the text that . A. Windsor Castle has been rebuilt B. the sound of the Big Ben can be heard everywhere C. only some of the hotels in England serve breakfast D. the London Eye can carry you where you like to go 2. Which place may be London's most visited tourist spot? A. Big Ben. B. The Tower of London. C. Buckingham Palace. D. The River Thames. 3. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to _ . A. visit Windsor Castle B. tour the Buckingham Palace C. tour the city along the River Thames D. watch the soldiers outside the Buckingham Palace changing guards 4. The underlined word "landscape" ( Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to . A. sights B. interest C. growth D. travel |

| England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country, except for the summer months of June to September. This is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is thesouthwest, which consists of the countries of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas. 1. The distance from the center of England to south coast is about . A. one hundred miles B. three hundred miles C. one hundred and fifty miles D. six hundred miles 2. England is a country . A. with a cold and wet climate B. with a surprising climate C. with a pleasant climate D. with a variety of climates 3. According to the passage . A. flowers and vegetables from Devon are on themarket one month earlier B. farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere C. people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers D. vegetables in Comwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers 4. In the north of England and the Midlands, . A. it is cold and wet all the year round B. the climate is pleasant as a whole C. it is warm most of the time in a year D. only the summer is not cold and not wet |

| In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16. In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to the ages between 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in. Subjects In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the NATIONAL CURRICULUM, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7,11,14,and 16, when they are tested.
