Classes begin on Monday, May 1, and will continue throughout the summer. Fifteen swim classes are being offered. Each class lasts ten hours. A new class starts each week of the summer. Each class costs $20. The pool is big enough for six students per class. Classes will increase in difficulty each week. The first week is for children up to six years old. The last week is for advanced swimmers who want to improve their race skills. Students can sign up for as many classes as they like, but they must pass the skills level test. For example, students who sign up for Level 4 (Stroke Readiness) must show their certificate for pleting Level 3 or must demonstrate the front crawl and backstroke. Children cannot sign up for a level they are not ready for. Children who have never attended munity Pool classes must show up April 29 or 30 for a swim skills evaluation. Instructors will rate the students and assign them to a particular skill level. Swim classes are fun for all. Children learn new skills and make new friends. Parents get to meet other parents in the munity. Swimming, like bicycling, is a healthy and valuable skill that, once learned, is never forgotten. “Its a joy to teach young children,” said Ginger, the lead instructor for swimming programs. “More than half of them are terrified when we put them into the water the first time. Two months later, theyre begging their parents to go to the pool every day.” 60.

Nitht time tickets for the Shanghai World Expo are already available, and tourists can enjoy a pletely different view when night falls.First, night time tickets are much cheaper and tourists can avoid peak hours. A daytime ticket costs 160 yuan, while a nighttime ticket only costs 90 yuan.Second , nighttime tickets save tourists a significant amount of time spent in queues so they can visit more pavilions. On the whole, although going at night allows only half the time during the day, tourists spend less time in queues and can visit roughly as many pavilions as in the daytime.Third, the lights are all on at night, giving tourists a wonderful night view of bright lights that they cannot possibly see in the daytime. Dressed with all kinds of colored lights, the Expo Site looks brilliant and charming at night. Fourth, the Expo is more pleasing and fortable at night because pavilions provide more and better interactive activities at night. There are performances at the Expo Cultural Center every night, and concerts performed by worldfamous singers on weekends. Fifth, services are still excellent at night. Tourists can glut themselves with delicacies at a food plaza (广场) which is ablaze with lights even past 10 p.m. In addition, the plaza is much less crowded and busy at night than during day. 63.

Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment(娱乐) of young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They havent yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now e in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to e mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planets surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. People are now largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.67. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060? A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D.

Why are people largely vegetarians in 2060? A. Because they dont eat meat.B. Because doctors advise them not to eat meat.C. Because the number of animals decreases.D.
