The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.
Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000
abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final
year project at the University of the West of England, James
Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s
directors and won their support. Mint has committed around￡500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.
Mr Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics. For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants,
with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether
there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious. 1. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents .
A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environment
C. for holding music performances D. designed for disaster relief
2. Mr Dunlop established his business .
A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B. with the approval of the City’s administration
C. in partnership with a finance group
D. with the help of a Japanese architect
3. It is implied in the passage that .
A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer
B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air
C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr Dunlop can be user-tailored
D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users
4. The passage is mainly concerned with .
A. an attempt at developing recyclable tents
B. some efforts at making full use of cardboards
C. an unusual success of a graduation project D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
I used to think of myself as a fairly open person, but my bookshelves told a different story. Apart from a few Indian novels and the Australian and South African book, my literature collection consisted of British and American titles. Worse still, I hardly ever read anything in translation. My reading was limited to
stories by English-speaking authors.
So, at the start of 2012, I set myself the challenge of trying to
read a book from every country in a year to find out what I was missing. As I was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, I decided to ask the planet’s readers for help. I created a blog called A Year of Reading the World and put out an appeal for suggestions
of titles that I could read in English.
The response was amazing. Before I knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. Some posted me books from their home countries. Others did hours of research on my behalf. In addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the British who only speak English. Even so, selecting books was no easy task. With translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the UK and Ireland,
getting English versions (版本)of stories was difficult.

On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County
Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual
contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！ And while in most
settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and
the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.
To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed
“Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things，including an exhibit
featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.
As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the
way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California
resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.

“I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,” said the man at the petrol
station. “Is it raining out there?”“No, it’s pretty nice,” I replied, checking
my sleeve. “Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”
As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you
might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream
in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area
and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite sighs asking them not
to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car,
and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).

Since we are social beings，the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human conditions is
our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions.Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems.People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without
such ties.Studies over types of illnesses，from depression to heart disease，show that the presence of social support helps people defend
themselves against illness，and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
