Graffiti
painting
is
traditionally
a
daredevil
pursuit.
Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains
and
buses.
But
over
the
past
decade,
graffiti
has
all
but
disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the
number
of
incidents
of
graffiti
recorded
by
the
British
Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment
Ministry
shows
that
fewer
places
are
blighted
by
tags
than
ever.
Graffiti
are
increasingly
confined
to
sanctioned
walls,
such
as
the
Stockwell
ball
courts.
In
time
the
practice
may
die out entirely.
The
most
obvious
reason
for
the decline
in
tagging
and
train-painting
is
better
policing.
Numerous
CCTV
cameras
mean
it
is
harder
to
get
away
with
painting
illegally.
And
punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent,
too.
Fewer
teenagers
are
getting
into
painting
walls.
They
prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone
to art school and want to make money from their paintings.
The Internet means that painters can win far more attention
by posting pictures online
than they can by breaking into a
railway yard.
Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s
and
1990s.
Those
men
—
and
almost
all
are
men
—
are
now
older
and
less
willing
to
take
risks. Graffiti
may
eventually
disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The
former
graffiti
artists
paint
abandoned
warehouses
at
the
weekend.
It
has
become
something
to
do
on
a
Sunday
afternoon
—
a
slightly
healthier
alternative
to
sitting
and
watching football.

not
afraid
of
being

security
guards when they put their names on trains and buses.

Jim
Thorpe
was
a
Native
American.
He
was
born
in
1888
in
an
Indian
Territory(
印第安人保护区
)that
is
now
Oklahoma.
Like
most
Native
American
children
then,
he
liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was
healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In
1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football
player.
He
was
also
an
Olympic
gold
medal
winner.
But
Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years
old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also
dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for
Native
American
children.
There,
he
learned
to
read
and
write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left
school for two years to earn some money. During this time,
he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $$15 a
week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education.
Jim
was
a
star
athlete
(
运动员
)
in
several
sports,
including
baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his
athletic
ability,
mainly
for
football.
In
many
games,
he
scored all or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became
part
of
the
U.S
Olympic
team.
He
competed
in
two
very
difficult
events:
the
pentathlon
and
the
decathlon.
Both
require
great
ability
and
strength.
The
pentathlon
has
five
track
and
field
events,
including
the
long
jump
and
the
1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events,
5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A
A.
In
1912,
Thorpe
went
back
to
finish
his
college
education.
B.
Thorpe
won
two
gold
medals
in
the
1912
Olympic
Games.
C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.

with running, jumping and throwing contests.
People
thought
it
was
impossible
for
an
athlete
to
compete
in
both
the
pentathlon
and
the
decathlon.
So
everyone
was
surprised
when
Thorpe
won
gold
medals
in
both
events.
When
the
King
of
Sweden
presented
Thorpe
with his two gold medals, he said,
“
Sir, you are the greatest
athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man.
He just answered, “Thanks, King.”
1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born
in
C
A. India
B. Pennsylvania
C. Oklahoma
2.
According
to
the
passage,
most
American
Indian
children loved all the following EXCEPT
B
A. fishing
B. singing
C. swimming
3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports
B
A. before he was 9 years old
B. when he was 16 years old
C. when he was 24 years old
4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means
C
A. jumping
B. five track and field events
C. ten track and field events

Liu Hui: Gordon, may I ask you a question?
Gordon: Hi, Liu Hui.
C
Liu Hui: Do I need to pay for a TV license if I

Gordon: Yes, indeed. You need to be covered by a TV license

for a black and white TV license.
Liu Hui: That's a lot of money for a year.

Gordon: It costs the same for all applicants under 75. When
you reach the age of 75, you may apply for a free Over 75

Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from
a family burger
（汉堡包）
stand to a global fast-food chain,
with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.
With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's
is
now
so
ubiquitous
around
the
globe
that
The
Economist
publishes
a
global
ranking
of
currencies'
purchasing
power
based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called
the Big Mac Index
（
巨无霸指数）
.That's not to say that every
nation
carries
the
same
menu
items:
choices
vary
widely
depending
on
location.
Some
Asian
locations
serve
fried
shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't
serve
beef
at
all,
relying
instead
on
burgers
made
from
vegetables, rice and beans.
Not
everyone
in
the
world
has
been
happy
to
greet
something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of
people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest
globalization
and
“bad
food.”
The
next
year,
a
bomb
exploded
in
a
French
McDonald's,
killing
a
27-year-old
employee. No one claimed responsibility.
But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies,
McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of
peaceful globalization.

I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It
means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me.
Living
in
the
country
requires
an
active
lifestyle.
It
involves
activities
like
doing
daily
chores,
preparing
firewood
for
winter
heating,
feeding
animals
including
pets
and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For
me,
the
most
attractive
activities
are
fishing,
hunting
and
hiking.
I
enjoy
seeing
what
nature
has
to
offer
everyday
through
a
simple
walk
down
the
little
trail,
or
a
relaxing
drive
along
the
country
road
with
patches
of
green
grass
ornamented
with
wildlife
sightings
of
birds,
moose,
bears,
deer, etc.
Living
the
country
life
helps
us
appreciate
some
of
the
simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves
and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at
the local farmers
market, or a project or a problem that the
community
might
pull
together
to
help
solve.
I
have
participated
in
a
few
community
projects,
like
dealing
with
out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large
snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for
the winter. Sometimes
I am surprised by how
much benefit
we receive from helping others and as for this community I
can’t say enough.

Liu Hui interviews Dr. Smith about the issue of educational
inequality.
Liu
Hui:
Thank
you,
Dr.
Smith,
for
agreeing
to
be
interviewed by our Campus News Weekly. First, what do you
mean by educational inequality?
Dr. Smith: Educational inequality is the disparity that certain
students experience in their education as compared to other
students.
But
the
meaning
of
it
varies
in
different
social
contexts.
Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society?
Dr.
Smith:
Well,
researchers
link
educational
inequality
to
socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.
Liu Hui: So it is very likely that educational inequality exists
in different forms in different countries.
Dr.
Smith:
Yeah,
you
are
right.
For
example,
in
the
United
States,
although
skin
color
is
linked
to
other
forms
of
inequality, it is evident in education.
Liu
Hui:
Educational
inequality
exists
in
China,
too.
For
example, the college entrance rate is much higher in Beijing
than in other provinces. How do you think can we someday
eradicate the inequality?
Dr.
Smith:
It's
impossible
to
answer
such
a
big
question
in
few
words.
Educational
inequality
has
become
one
of
the
most
important
political
and
social
issues
in
every
nation
nowadays.
There

the

of
university
as

positive,

must
be
seen
by
students
as
adding

as

as
any

factors
before
the
numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.

It

(

for
an
overweight
person
to
go
to
a
gym
and
work
out
with
a
positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice
gym
and
notice
all
the
healthy,
sweating,
“
skinny
”
members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well,
zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who
wants to put up with that?
Many

are

of
their

and

especially
if
they
are

Now
the
fitness
industry
is
finally
paying
attention.
Popular gyms are catering (

people are not allowed.
There are even gyms or programs that require members to

What

the
gyms
catering
to
overweight members?
A
A. To achieve functional fitness.
B. To build six-pack abs.
C. To look like a fitness model.
be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.
Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal,
rather
than
six-pack
abs(
六块腹肌
).
They
often
use
text
messages to stay in touch with customers.
Often
at
these
specialized
gyms,
the
trainers
are
overweight
themselves,
or
working
on
their
own
weight
goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by
poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use
by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors,
and
tinted
(
有色的
)
windows
for
privacy,
are
all
important
changes.
Hopefully
these
types
of
gyms
will
successfully
grow
in
numbers
in
the
future.
The
idea
is
a
very
simple
and
potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger
exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the
right direction.

Education
and
academic
quality
can
mean
different
things
to
different
people,
depending
on
their
perspective,
role
and
context
and,
E
,
quality
is
notoriously
difficult
to
evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for
many years.
Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality
is
agreed
by
all
and
stimulated
further
by
the
recent
worldwide
economic
downturn
and
the
need
to
counteract
the impact of

and prepare for economic recovery.
As
the
World
Bank
and
UNESCO
said
10
years
ago:
“
The
quality
of
knowledge
generated
within
higher
education
institutions,
and
its
availability
to
the
wider
economy,
is
becoming
increasingly
critical
to
national
competitiveness.
”
They also rightly emphasized that
“
D
at
the
national
level
opens
up
the
possibility
that
substantial
additional
public
benefits
can
be
realized
through
international links.
”
This
is
precisely
why
B
should
contribute
to
these
global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems
for
educational
and
academic
quality.
Original
and
good
research,
especially
in
science,
economics
and
social
sciences, has a trickle- down effect on society. And it offers
additional benefits
A
, though international collaboration and
exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring
substantial
advantages
to
all
partners
in
relation
to
lessons
learned elsewhere.

Babies
who
are
breast-fed
may
be
more
likely
to
be
successful
in
life,
a
new
study
published
Tuesday
suggests.
The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in
Brazil.
The
researchers
found
those
who
were
breast-fed
scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed
in
school
longer
and
earned
more
money
than
those
who
were given formula
（配方奶粉）
.
“
Breast-feeding
not
only
has
short-term
benefits,
but
also breast-feeding has long-term benefits,
”
says Bernardo
Lessa
Horta
of
the
Federal
University
of
Pelotas
in
Brazil,
who
led
the
study
being
published
in
The
Lancet
Global
Health.
Doctors
have
long
known
that
breast-feeding
can
be
good
for
a
baby's
health.
This
is
especially
true
in
poor
countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a
baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more
likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed.
In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding
may raise a baby's IQ
（智商）
by a few points. But a recent
study
with
siblings
（兄弟姐妹）
found
little
advantage
to
breast- feeding.
Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children
into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects.
So
Horta
analyzed
data
collected
from
3,493
volunteers
he
and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are
now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ
tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had
IQ
test
scores
that
were
3.76
points
higher
than
those
who
were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.
When
Horta
and
his
colleagues
looked
at
how
much
education the subjects had gotten and how much money they
were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who
were
breast-fed
the
longest
stayed
in
school
for
about
an
extra
year and had
monthly salaries that were about a third
higher.
1. From the passage, we learn that Horta
A
A. is from Brazil
B. conducts his research in the U.S.
C. has 30 researchers on his team
2.
Which
of
the
following

who
were

countries.

contaminated
in
Paragraph 3

B. Preventing misunderstandings
C. Intercultural communication
D. Fostering respect
E. Avoiding conflicts
C
Intercultural
communication
refers
to
messages
transmitted
between
members
of
two
or
more
different
societies.
Effective
intercultural
communication
helps
firms
avoid conflict, prevent misunderstandings, and foster respect.
E
The
workplace
is
growing
more
diverse
every
day.
Managers cannot assume that what they find inoffensive will
also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity
can
lead
to
claims
of
discrimination
or
harassment,
which
costs firms big money. Intercultural communication involves
exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts.
A
We
human
beings
have
developed
language
to
communicate
ideas
to
one
another.
Still,
our
language
represents an imperfect form of communication. Sometimes,
