7、SHEET with a single line through the center.10 Bra, where there is a church clock that is a half hour slow, is not only the home of an international movement that promotes “slow food“ but also one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined the “slow cities“. These cities have declared themselves

8、paradises from the accelerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bin, the town fathers have declared that all small rood shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate m

9、ortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored material and reserves commercial choice real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses. And if the movement leaders get their way, the slow conception will gradually spread across Europe.The arg

10、ument for a “Slow Europe“ is not only that slow is good, but also that it can work. The Slow City movement, which started in 1999, has turned around local economies by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about

11、half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are thriving, many with sales rising at a rate of 15 percent per year. “This is our answer to globalization“ says Paolo Satumini, the founder of Slow Cities.France is the favored proving ground for su

12、pporters of what might be called slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model: short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive on an hourly basis than counterparts in the United States and Britain, and have been for years. The mystery of French produc

13、tivity has fueled a Europe-wide debate about the merits of working more slowly.11 The church clock that is a half hour slow serves as a symbol of_.（A）fast movement（B） slow movement（C） global economy（D）city growth12 In Bra, local specialty businesses_.（A）are not open on Thursdays and Sundays（B） are n

The most widespread mistake is

17、that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in

18、isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being tree from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world.During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second Worl

19、d War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, astonished took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stre

20、tches of. time. Some exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painst

21、aking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain s

22、uppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.16 The writer offered_examples to support his argument.（A）4（B） 5（C） 6（D）317 Which of the following does not agree with the passage?（A）The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.（B） Colds are not caused by cold.（C） People s

23、uffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.（D）A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.18 Arctic explorers may catch colds when_.（A）they are working in the isolated Arctic regions（B） they are writing reports in terribly cold weather（C） they are free from work in

25、remediable nowadays.20 The passage mainly discusses_.（A）the experiments on the common cold（B） the fallacy about the common cold（C） the reason and the way people catch colds（D）the continued spread of common colds20 There is no denying the fact that many young people finally get the jobs quite by acci

26、dent, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some st

27、ay long at a job and learn to like it, others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own ab

28、ilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for

29、the job or even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leis

30、ure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make yo
