People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes t

o the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this？ An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait haft an hour for a parking space to become available.

This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year's attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwiches and drinks.

People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. "This is our sixth year here now. We love it, "said the husband. "It's just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too."

The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angeles residents welcome one？ "The citizens of the city are very unpredictable, "said one of the festival founders.

The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that ______.

A．city libraries have a very limited number of readers

B．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by car

C．city libraries provide fewer places for car washes

D．city libraries have fewer parking places

根据以下资料，回答17~20题。 Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/or fall．It make

s us wonder., if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold．The answer is easy．There are literally hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there．You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it．Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion with it．You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually "eating" the virus．Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus．You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells．You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for colds．In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better．Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids．Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose． There is one interesting thing to note--some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you．The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it．Bodies can do an amazing job on their own．There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold．It goes like this: If takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. The reason that scientists cannot cure a common cold is __. A．we don't know how we get cold B．we aren't sure the exact kind of cold viruses C．we don't know when we will catch cold D．we aren't sure the exact scientific method

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "Universal human rights begin in small places, close to home". And Tolerance.org, a Web site from the Southern Poverty Law Center, is helping parents across the country create homes in which tolerance and understanding are guiding themes. "The goal of nurturing open-minded, empathetic children is a challenging one", says Jennifer Holladay, director of Tolerance. org. "To cultivate tolerance, parents have to instill in children a sense of empathy, respect and responsibility—to oneself and to others—as well as the recognition that every person on earth is a treasure". Holladay offers several ways parents can promote tolerance:

Talk about tolerance. Tolerance education is an ongoing process; it cannot be captured in a single moment. Establish a high comfort level for open dialogue about social issues. Let children know that no subject is taboo. Identify intolerance when children are exposed to it. Point out stereotypes and cultural misinformation depicted in movies, TV shows, computer games and other media. Challenge bias when it comes from friends and family members. Do not let the moment pass. Begin with a qualified statement: "Andrew just called people of XYZ faith 'lunatics'. What do you think about that, Zoe？" Let children do most of the talking. Challenge intolerance when it comes from your children. When a child says or does something that reflects biases or embraces stereotypes, confront the child: "What makes that joke funny, Jerome？" Guide the conversation toward internalization of empathy and respect—"Mimi uses a walker, honey. How do you think she would feel about that joke？" or "How did you feel when Robbie made fun of your glasses last week？" Support your children when they are the victims of intolerance. Respect children's troubles by acknowledging when they become targets of bias.

Don't minimize the experience. Provide emotional support and then brainstorm constructive responses. For example, develop a set of comebacks to use when children are the victims of name-calling. Create opportunities for children to interact with people who are different from them. Look critically at how a child defines "normal". Expand the definition. Visit playgrounds where a variety of children are present—people of different races, socioeconomic backgrounds, family structures, etc. Encourage a child to spend time with elders—grandparents, for example. Encourage children to call upon community resources. A child who is concerned about world hunger can volunteer at a local soup kitchen or homeless shelter. The earlier children interact with the community, the better. This will help convey the lesson that we are not islands unto ourselves. Model the behavior. you would like to see. As a parent and as your child's primary role model, be consistent in how you treat others. Remember, you may say, "Do as I say, not as I do", but actions really do speak louder than words.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about Tolerance. org？

A．It is a Web site from the Northern Poverty Law Center.

B．It is helping parents across the country create homes for those orphans.

C．The goal is to challenge those intolerant children.

D．It helps parents cultivate a sense of empathy and responsibility in their children.

Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred（神圣的) ; a time to ea

Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends. Now, here's a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, "what's the big hurry？ " and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the "family" meal. We have a joke that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in restaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usually a more substantial meal than in the U.S.

(68) For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style. meals are sold by kilo. You just pile the food on your plate and someone will weigh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal.

Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.

In Brazil, people usually have meals______.

A．in a hurry at restaurants

B．in a leisurely manner

C．at their desk in the office

D．for less than 1/2 hour
