32、m in Valencia, Spains third largest city, with my new friend, Jose. Its 1 a.m. All around us, fireworks are going off and the streets are full of noisy people. “Welcome to Lag Fallas,“ Jose grins. “Here youre going to see how Valencians party!“ Seven hours later, I understood what he meant. Las Fall

33、as (the bonfire) explodes over Valencia every March from the 12th to the 19th. It takes the whole of the previous year to get organized and everybody joins in the preparations. The city buzzes with a festive atmosphere all week, but, like all good parties, it is at night when people really get down

34、to some serious celebration. The tradition of Las Fallas began in the 18th century. At that time, craftsmen used special candles to light up the dark evenings while they were working. At the end of winter they celebrated by burning all their waste material in a ceremony that brought together people

35、from all the neighboring communities. Before burning the waste material, they made it into life-like statues, and then dressed them up to look like well-known but unpopular local characters. Nowadays the statues, some of them over 30 metres tall, are made of cardboard and represent different aspects

36、 of modern Spanish society. The whole of the previous year is spent fund-raising, planning and constructing the monuments, some of which are worth over $200,000. But they all go up in flames with the maximum amount of fire and noise before the end of the festival. The Valencians like their guests to

37、 enjoy themselves, but after one hours sleep I am woken up by the sound of firecrackers and a brass band parading beneath my window. Valencia by day may be sleepier than Valencia by night, but during Las Fallas theres always something going on. From the outskirts of the city, 200,000 girls and boys,

38、 wearing traditional dresses, march into the centre of town bringing flowers to decorate the statue of the Blessed Virgin. The festival reaches its climax on 19th March, a public holiday and St Josephs Day. This is the night when the cardboard statues are burnt. As midnight approaches, a feeling of

39、anticipation rises up from the streets and hangs over the city. Firecrackers go off every second or two and midnight passes in a shower of explosions. The last statue burns down and ends Las Fallas. It is a sad moment, but the Valencians dont have time to mourn the end of this years festival. After

40、all, theyre too busy planning for the next one. （分数：5.00）(1).The festival Las Fallas begins from March 12th to 19th annually.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误(2).The Valencians spend the whole of the previous year to get organized, such as fund-raising, planning and building the monuments.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误(3).Nowad

42、the last statue comes, all the Valencians mourn the end of this years festival.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误Section B Time-saving Tips: Lists Making lists is relaxing. It makes you feel importantall those things to do. It dictates the shape of the immediate future; it calms you down (its OK, its on a list somew

43、here) and it makes you feel good when you cross something off (list-making is standard practice in the therapy for depression). It might even help you to get things done too. (61) Type A makes orderly lists, priorities and calmly sets to work on them. Type B waits until panic sets in, grabs the near

44、est envelope and scribbles all over it, sighs with relief and promptly loses it. (62) Barbara Vanilli, chief executive of a large chain of supermarkets, says, “Before-I go to bed, I have to write down everything thats going to stop me sleeping. I feel I wont forget anything Ive written down, so my l

45、ists are a great comfort.“ (63) Men tend to have Tasks which they assemble into Action Plans whereas women just have lists of Things To Do. Jacqueline Maddocks, head of Maddocks Publishers, says, “My male colleagues only make lists for work, whereas I have to make lists for work and for home too. It

46、s essential to write things down. If youre constantly thinking,“ I must remember this, “it blocks your mind.“ (64) Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, printed out each morning to be scribbled on during the day. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,“ sh

47、e says. “Up to now, Ive always relied on my good memory, but now that Im working and studying, I find Ive got too much to keep in my head.“ (65) Youre not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded, time-managed life. In fact, theres no better time than the present to get an upper hand on

48、 time and begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and paper and make a list. Fill in each blank with one of the following statements, two of which are useless. Put the letters A, B, C, D, E, E or G in each blank according to the theme development. A.
