A

It’s a clear April morning in Olympia, Washington, when Alan — Erickson, 63, spots an eyesore on the side of the road. These unpleasant marks of black spray paint ruin a sign identifying a local forest, and Erickson wants the graffiti gone. “It disheartened me that you could barely read it,” he says of the sign. Fortunately, Erickson had all the supplies he needed in the bed of his truck to clean the mess: paper towels, steel wool, rubber gloves, spray bottles of water, and graffiti remover. After 15 minutes of spraying, rubbing and cleaning, the sign was fresh and clean, as if new again. “I go by there every now and then and am so proud because it stands out in such a beautiful way,” he says.

As you’ve probably guessed, that purifying pit stop wasn’t a one-off for Erickson, a semiretired real estate business owner. He has made it his mission to wipe out graffiti for the past 30 years. He started in El Paso, Texas, where he would paint over graffiti that would show up on properties he owned through his business, and he continued when he and his wife moved to Olympia in 2011. Erickson deals with roughly two graffiti sites a week on his own in addition to assisting city organizations with their effor ts. “Anytime I can stop and spend a few minutes getting rid of something, I do it,” he says.

One project Erickson has planned to deal with is the constant vandalism, the crime of damaging public property deliberately, of a home (which was once a grocery st ore) on a busy Olympia road. “I told them I’d paint the house all one color for free, and if they get any graffiti, I’ll have it covered by the end of the day,” he says. “Fighting graffiti is a small price to pay to live here. I go home content that I’ve changed the look of a beautiful town.”

21. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. A man single-handedly keeping his town beautiful.

B. A painter fighting against crimes in his town.

C. An artist who paints his town beautiful.

D. A businessman owning a real estate.

22. What can be inferred about the man from the passage?

A. The man is out of work.

B. The man has a bed in his truck.

C. The man has planned to paint a house on a busy Olympia road.

D. The man is well-prepared to wipe out graffiti.

23. Wha t does the underlined word “graffiti” according to the text?

A. Beautiful pictures on the wall.

B. Unpleasant marks like drawings or writing on a wall in a public place.

C. A kind of fierce insects which can ruin buildings.

D. A new form of art to beautify the streets.

Have you ever been to the tiny Welsh village of Hay-on-Wye, situated on the River Wye on the Welsh-English border. In the distance, it looks like any other small European town. But Hay-on-Wye has a delightful quirk that sets it apart from other small towns. It’s home to 1,400 people and hundreds of thousands of books, making it the largest center for secondhand books in the entire world.

You won’t find a Barnes and Noble in Hay-on-Wye, but what you will find is over 30 charming, cozy secondhand bookshops rich with the smell of old books. (By the way, there’s a scientific reason you love that smell.) There’s a bookstore specializing in out-of-print children’s books. A shop called “Murder and Mayhem” sells mainly crime and detective literature. And one outdoor bookshop, the Hay Castle Bookshop, is built around the walls of — you guessed it — a castle. How could a book lover possibly ask for anything more? (Though this is a Welsh town, it would be very easy to develop this Japanese literary habit here.)

One of the town’s most unique features is its “honesty bookshops.” These are basically just bookshelves fitting out in the Open, without a cashier or employee to speak of. A. sign announces the prices of the books (which are often less than one U. S. dollar), and a collection box for money sits nearby. Customers are trusted to pay, on their honor. There are no security cameras or anything; just good old-fashioned trust.

Apart from being a popular tourist destination for literary fanatics throughout the entire year, Hay-on-Wye also throws a literary festival each year at the end of May. Bookworms from all over the world flock to this tiny village to hear famous writers speak, attend book signings, and, of couurse, stock up on reading material. And there’s plenty for the kids to do (and read) too! Here, your child grows up loving to read.

28. What can be the best title of the passage?

A. A small town with more books than people.

B. Honest people in a British town.

C. The most unique bookshops in the world.

D. Bookshops — a good place for tired travelers.

29. Which of the following can take the place of the underlined word “quirk” in the first paragraph?

A. atmosphere

B. situation

C. view

D. feature

30. The small town has the following features except _______.

A. It’s the largest center for secondhand books.

B. The bookshops there are in the Japanese style, with no security cameras.

C. There is a literary festival each year for book-lovers throughout the world.

D. Customers to the honesty bookshops help themselves buying books.

31. In which column of a magazine can you probably find the passage?

A. Finance

B. Fashion

C. Travel

D. Health

D

According to a latest research, shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money. Penny pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidi rather than luxury alternatives.

This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from ￡1.19 billion in 2011 to ￡1.12 billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to ￡1.11 billion in 2016.

In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from ￡ 43 in 2014 to ￡41 in 2015.

Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper, including facial tissue and kitchen roll, to save money. “Strength, softness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small part of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra features are considered unnecessary by the majority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”

While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain particular about this product, in theory at least, when it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons’toilet paper wish list is softness(57%) followed by strength(45%)and thickness(36%).

One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for. manufactures, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buying

recycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

32. The market sales of toilet paper have decreased because _______.

A. Britons have cut their spending on it.

B. its prices have gone up over the years.

C. its quality has seen marked improvement.

D. Britons have developed the habit of saving.

33. What does the author think of the future of the tissue paper market in the UK?

A. It will expand in time.

B. It will continue the tendency of decrease.

C. It will experience ups and downs.

D. It will recover as population grows.

34. What does Jack Duckett say about toilet paper?

A. Special offers would promote its sales.

B. Consumers are loyal to certain brands.

C. Luxurious features add much to the price.

D. Consumers have a variety to choose from.

35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect the environment.

B. Toilet paper producers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.

C. Toilet paper producers compete with one another to improve product quality.

D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.

How to be a good conversationalist?

According to a Pew Research study of 10,000 American adults, we are more divided and less likely to compromise than ever before. 36 In today’s education, conversational competence might be one of the most overlooked skills school fails to teach. Generally speaking, a conversation requires a balance between talking and listening, and somewhere along, the way we lose that balance. Then how to find the balance and have a better conversation, here are some tips for you.

Don’t multitask.37 Just be present. Be in that moment. Don’t think about the argument you had with your partner. Don’t think about what you are going to have for dinner. If you get out of the conversation, don’t be half in it and half out of it.

Use open-ended conversations.38 If you put in a simple question, you are going to get a simple answer out. Instead of asking “Were you terrified?”, you ask “what was that like?” or “How did that feel?” Because people then might have to stop for a moment and think about it and you are going to get a much more interesting response.

Listen. Listening is perhaps the most, the number one most important skill that you could develop. 39 and sometimes that means setting aside your personal opinion. But most people don’t listen with the intent to understand but with the intent to reply.

40 A good conversation is like a miniskirt, short enough to hold interest, but long enough to cover the subject.

In conclusion, to become a better conversationalist, you need to enter every conversation, listening attentively and assuming that you have something to learn.

A. Be brief.

B. Look the person in the eye.

C. You need to let them come and let them go.

D. The true listening requires a setting aside of yourself.

E. Start your questions with who, when, what, where, why, or how.

F. Much of this is because we are not listening to each other in our conversation.

G. That doesn’t mean you set down your cell phone or book or whatever in your hand.
