2、ct of having to emigrate, an unemployed Irish graduate has spent 2,000 on a massive billboard advertisement asking employers not to let him leave the republic. (2)Feilim Mac An Iomaire, who erected an advertising hoarding on the busy Merrion Road in south Dublin in an attempt to find a job, has said
3、 he has been overwhelmed by the response. (3)The ad contains a picture of the 26-year-old marketing graduate facing a number of famous landmarks from Sydney, London and New York with the message: “Save me from emigration.“ (4)His ad has struck a chord across Ireland at a time when about 50,000 citiz
4、ens, many of them young graduates, are expected to leave this year for work abroad. There are still up to 400,000 jobless workers in Ireland due to the property crash and the countrys fiscal crisis. (5)Mac An Iomaire said he came up with the idea after being unemployed for eight months after a year
5、in Australia. “I had a good bit of money saved when I came home from Australia but I was managing to live on jobseekers allowance. I gave it a week of hard thinking to come up with the concept and nothing was going to stop me then,“ he said. “The great thing is that everyones been so positive about
6、it. No one has really had a bad word to say. Everybody who is close to me knows Ive been pretty annoyed about being unemployed and feeling like Ive been on the sidelines.“ (6)Mac An Iomaire also set up a Facebook page and Twitter account, and has been drowned with emails and messages. (7)“Ive had so
7、me really nice replies. Some CV experts are willing to spruce up my CV so Im pretty overwhelmed with that,“ he said. “It looks good for something to come out of it, anyway. I am not exactly looking for a concrete job offer. I would sooner go through the whole process of doing an interview,“ he added
8、. 1 Sydney, London and New York are the places . ( A) where Mac An Iomaire had worked before ( B) which Mac An Iomaire had visited before ( C) where Mac An Iomaire wouldnt like to work ( D) which Mac An Iomaire thought were the most prosperous 2 By saying “everybodys been so positive about it,“ Mac
9、An Iomaire means that _. ( A) people have expressed approval of his advertisement ( B) his friends have encouraged him to look at the bright side ( C) the unemployed have confidence in the job market ( D) the country will overcome its present fiscal crisis 2 (1)The family of Sirycs refused all the b
10、enefits of civilization. Now they live in a forest near Zhitomir and enjoy their hermits life. (2)52 year-old head of the family Ivan Siryc, his wife Victoriya and their 12-year-old son Stepan live in a sun-dried hut, covered with thatch(茅草屋顶 ). There are 3 rooms in it(each of them is about 2 square
11、 meters). They are joined together with the other room, in the middle of which the stove can be found. (3)The Sirycs happen to be indoors only in winter, in summer they spend all their time in the workshops. During the whole year a hayloft serves as a bed for them. They even made a glass roof above
12、it to see the stars. They say, no one can see such a wonderful view in the city. As for the toilet, they didnt build it at all. They just have some special place in the forest not far from their hut. (4)To move into such conditions was a joint decision. 8 years ago the Sirycs were successful artists
13、 in Moscow. But one day they accidentally heard on the radio the story about the dolmens(巨石墓 )on the Caucausus and decided to go there. Stepan at that time was 8 months old. Victoriya remembers herself sitting near the brook and holding her son in her arms while Ivan was examining those wonderful pl
14、aces. When he returned they both suddenly realized they wanted to change their life. (5)Now the Sirycs eat only raw food, because they believe the food heated to 40 immediately becomes dead. So they eat berries, pickled and dried mushrooms. The latter tastes like chips, they say. But you should be c
15、areful and not to eat too much of them, because they swell in your stomach and you can feel like youve overeaten afterwards. (6)So at first they were vegetarians, now they are raw food eaters but what they really dream about is to become “air eaters“. Such peoples bacteria produce all necessary elem
16、ents from air and are gradually becoming younger and even able to “grow“ new organs. Victoriya, for example, has already grown two new teeth. (7)As for their son Stepan, he goes to school once a month. Hes in the 4th grade now. But actually he doesnt like to go there because other children often tea
17、se him because of his long hair. But Stepan cant cut them off because he believes this is connection with cosmos. (8)His father taught him to draw and make sculptures. Later hes going to become a sculptor. 3 What do we learn about the Sirycs home according to the second paragraph? ( A) There are res
18、pectively three rooms in and outside the hut. ( B) There are totally four rooms in their hut. ( C) Each of the three rooms has a stove inside. ( D) Each of the three rooms is joined together with the other two. 4 In regard to diet, the Sirycs are most likely to agree that _. ( A) mushrooms are not g
19、ood for our health ( B) one should not eat too much raw food ( C) meat should also be eaten raw ( D) no meat at all should be eaten 4 (1)If you want to know how I spend my money, go to B. Each time I make a purchase on my credit card, the amount Ive spent and the name of the place Ive spent it autom
20、atically pop up on this weird new site. Why would any sane person volunteer to publicize that information? Philip Kaplan, a technology entrepreneur and one, of Blippys co-founders, hazards a guess: “To tell people friends, acquaintances, maybe even strangers a little bit more about you.“ (2)I had a
21、different theory. If large numbers of people could see and comment on what I was buying, maybe I would be shamed into spending less. Could there be a practical use for the exhibitionism and groupthink of social networking? Location-centric sites like Foursquare encourage people to blast where they a
22、re and what theyre buying. But Blippy takes things to a new level, since information goes straight from point of purchase to website. You dont have to push a single button; just agree to let Blippy broadcast the details that end up on your credit-card statement. Marketers are constantly mining all s
23、orts of consumer data, and Blippy which has received seed money from big-name investors like Sequoia Capital and Twitter CEO Evan Williams wants to help individuals start harnessing this kind of information too. (3)Conversations on Blippy occasionally revolve around how people should spend less for
24、things. If you pay more than $29.99 a month for a gym membership, expect to hear about it. But more often the comments are pro-purchase. Thats especially true when people choose to specify what theyre buying on sites such as Amazon, iTunes and Netflix. (4)During my first month on Blippy, which was i
