Listed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao, Spain

Built in 1997, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers’ desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.

The Louvre in Paris, France

Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world, the "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small, but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But, the Louvre is much more than a home to the "Mona Lisa". The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.

The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, America

Just opened in its new downtown location in 2012, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man’s private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early 20th century and collected, among others, the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.

The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy

Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palace-like structure with frescoes（湿壁画）decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over（印象深刻） by the works by Botticelli, such as "The Birth of Venus". Classic artworks from nearly 1,000 years ago describe religious events of the time.

21．Which of the following is the most popular？

A. The Louvre.

B. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

C. The Barnes Foundation.

D. The Uffizi Gallery.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know. Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again？”

Use associations. Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example，you could make a mental note："Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce （加强） your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early. Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.

25. How many ways are mentioned in the text to help remember other s’ names？

A. 3.

B. 4.

C. 5.

D. 6.

26. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _____.

A. all their names

B. just their last names

C. as many names as possible

D. a couple of names first

27. If you can't remember someone's name, you may _____.

A. tell him a white lie

B. tell him the truth

C. ask him for pity

D. ask others to help you

28. What’s the main idea of this passage？

A. How to make use of associations.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. Tips on an important social skill.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

C

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past？

When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often--only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize

that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.

29. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.

A. observing her school routine

B. expressing her satisfaction

C. impressing her classmates

D. preserving her history

30. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary？

A. A dull night on the journey.

B. The beauty of the great valley.

C. A striking quotation from a book.

D. Her concerns for future generations.

31. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.

A. to experience it

B. to live the present in the future

C. to make memories

D. to give accurate representations of it

D

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill. Here are some tips for you to learn to read body language.

Pay attention to how close someone is to you. The closer he is, the warmer he is thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less he actually cares of the situation or person. If

you move a little closer to them, does he move further away？ If he doesn’t move further away, he is receptive（易接受的）. And if he responds by getting even closer to you, he probably really likes you or is very comfortable around you. But please keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another!

People who look to the sides a lot are nervous or lying. If someone looks down at the floor a lot, he is probably shy. It is believed that in some cultures looking at someone in the eyes is a

not listening.

People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may suggest that they are uncomfortable or just trying to hide something on their shirts. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, he is open to what is being discussed.

During a talk, if a person who wears is pushing them up onto his nose again, with a slight frown（皱眉）, that may also suggest he disagree with what you are saying.

A. he is a receptive person

B. he wants to tell you some secrets

C. he feels nervous about your meeting

D. he likes you or feels comfortable around you

A. suggests

B. produces

C. expects

D. believes

35. What can we know from the passage？

A. Being close to others always means kindness.

B. Your gestures may tell others how you feel.

C. People will look at your eyes when lying to you.

D. Wearing glasses can help you hide your feelings.

Dear Sir / Madame,

Nowadays more and more people are concerned about their health. But how to keep healthy？ Different people may give different answers to t his question. In my opinion, it is essential to do the following.

At first, it is absolutely important to eat healthy food. What people eat affects their health. Experts advise people to eat more fruit and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork, which contains more fat than the former.

Besides, it is necessary to take some exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat faster and the lungs work harder, reduces the chance of diseases, and helps lower blood pressure. In this way, people become healthier and stronger. What’s more, getting rid of bad habits like smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy. It is also a good idea to get up early. Unfortunately few people follow them

If people follow these three ways of keeping fit, they greatly improve their health.

Yours, Li Hua
