They are at the part where Mary has told Colin that shes found the garden her mother loved. Its an exciting moment. But the passage Im waiting for is a few chapters on, after Colin has tasted his first breaths of fresh air and Mary has grown strong running in the garden. Its just a detail, but my kids will notice it: a delicious description of roasted potatoes and eggs.We have a tradition of trying foods from the books we read aloud. It started when we read Elizabeth Enrights The Saturdays, and one of the boys asked, “What are petit fours?” An answer, my husband and I felt, wouldnt be as good as a sample. So one Saturday we all sat down having tea and little cakes, covered with pink, green, and yellow. It was exciting for the kids to try a dessert they had learned about in a book. The petit fours they tried didnt tell them what it was like to live in New York City 60 years ago, but tasting them made the books words alive. Later, when we read C.S. Lewiss The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, we had Turkish delight. We read The Penderwicks, written by Jeanne Birdsall, and had gingerbread (姜饼). We read Paddington Bear and tried marmalade. Soon we will reach the part of The Secret Garden where Mary, Colin, and Dickon roast potatoes and eggs in a small oven (炉) in the earth. My kids will go out into the woods to find the perfect place for an oven of our own. Yes, weve eaten potatoes and eggs, but never in the open air. The world that a good book creates is whole and real, but it lies flat on the page until a reader gives life to it.36. The text is written mainly to .

A local school began teaching English to the children of the refugees. But while the children learned the language, their parents did not. That made munication with teachers arduous.At present, almost fifty children from Burma attend Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Laurel Conran is a teacher there. She said, “The main idea is the global idea.” She teaches English to speakers of other languages. One of her students is Tha Neih Ciang. Another student is Tha Neihs mother, Tin Iang. Ms. Conran practices English with Tin Iang at the mothers workplace. Many refugees from Burma work at Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a supplier of fruits and vegetables to restaurants and other businesses.Laurel Conran started classes at the pany to help refugees from Burma learn English. Laurel Conran said, “The program is a six-week session. Its once a week, on every Wednesday, from twelve to one oclock. So every Wednesday I go to Coastal Sunbelt.” As the workers eat lunch, they also practice their new language skills. Lisa Chertok has a child at Bollman Bridge. She is also a manager at Coastal Sunbelt. She helped Ms. Conran develop the lessons, which she says have really helped. Lisa Chertok said, “Well, when the Burmese employees got here, they were very, very shy. Now I find that they are more outspoken than before. Theyre more municative. As parents, they are also more involved in their childrens school.”Jonathan Davis is the principal of Bollman Bridge Elementary School. Mr. Davis hopes the lessons will help these parents feel better about municating with the school. He said, “Even as simple as making a phone call to say that their son or daughter is sick, even if thats the amount of English that they have got from the program, that truly will help us.”41.

A freelance (自由职业的) writer can easily get a job from the United States, the United Kingdom or even from Japan. He can travel the world in an hour just by surfing the various places in the world for his work using the Internet.Looking at the job offers on the various freelance job boards can be tiring especially if you are a first timer. To do this, you have to use your search engine and type in the terms “freelance work-at-home jobs” or something like that. You will get several sites that offer freelance work-at-home job boards and you should choose the sites that are credible (可信的) enough.You will know when the site is credible because first of all, they do not ask you to pay them suddenly even before you have found a freelance work-at-home job through their services. Most sites will offer free registration (注册) for freelance writers and you can register as long as you have an email address where they can send the confirmation link (确认链接).Once you have registered successfully then you can start looking for the present freelance work-at-home opportunities and bid on (投标) them. But not all freelance work-at-home job boards require bidding. Some job boards will ask you to send your resume and they will contact you if you make the grade.The Internet is a world that is open to a lot of opportunities especially for people who want to work at home. However, the Internet is open to all people who have access to the Internet so you should also be careful in dealing with possible employers who may dupe you into doing something for them without paying you in the end.46.

Thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash in xx. The Plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving Britains famous warm beer since the days of Shakespeare. Now it is under threat too. “Yeah. So many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said Derek ONeil, the manager of The Plough Pub. Many reasons are the causea ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all bined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, according to the British Beer and Pub Association. With the closures, pubs are being redeveloped. Many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.Britains pubs continue to play an important part in the UK economy, selling thousands of different beers and employing more than a million people. The reality, though, is pubs are suffering something of a hangover (遗留物). In the last 15 years the amount of beer sold in pubs has fallen by eight million barrels to just under 36 million a year. Pub landlords want tax breaks (税务减免).“People have less money in their pockets, so they cant go out and spend it and habits are changingso much alcohol is nowadays drunk at home,” said Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association. “Yeah, I miss the pubs where theres a lot of character, especially 30 years ago. You know there was great fun in them.”While pubs are still much loved, theyre discovering that love isnt enough to survive 21st century economics.51.According to the first paragraph, tax gathering round can .A. greatly benefit Britains pubsB. save Britains pubs in a way C. encourage more people to go to Britains pubsD. make the situation of Britains pubs even worse 52.

Too much, say some people with the Internet service from America Online. These people should know. AOL put the Internet search records of more than six hundred and fifty thousand people in a public area on part of its website. The records included every search these users made between March and May of this year. The pany said the release was an accident. It said the records were meant for researchers. The purpose was to help them study how people use the Internet so search tools can be improved.To protect privacy, AOL used numbers instead of names to identify the users. But people who saw the records quickly recognized that some users could be identified through the details of their searches.The New York Times decided to prove it. The newspaper was able to identify one of the users as Thelma Arnold of Georgia. The sixty-two-year-old woman was surprised to get a telephone call from the reporter who found her. But she agreed to a story about her searches. Many of them, for example, involved medical conditions. Someone might think she is very sick. In fact, in many cases, Thelma Arnold was searching for information to help friends. Still, the records from AOL show that Internet searches can tell a lot about what people are thinking. That includes things they might never want others to know. The records could be highly useful to marketers. But some researchers say they will not use them because the information is too personal. People became angry when they learned that . AOL took the information off its website. The pany apologized and called the release a big mistake. Some people, however, had already copied the data before AOL removed it. 56. What is the best title of the text? (no more than 10 words) 57. Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (no more than 8 words) 58. What do you think of this incident caused by the AOL? (no more than 30 words) 59.
