I would like to say something about fire regulations(条例) in these hotels.When I was in Beijing in a hotel I checked the nearest fire escape to my room, as I usually do, I found that on the ground floor, the exit(出口) out of the buildings was chained and locked! If there was a fire, people wouldn’t be able to escape. In some other places, I did not find any noticeabout the procedures(程序).In most hotels in my country, there is now a notice on the back of the door of every guestroom. In Japan the porter（门卫）actually points out the escape route when bringing your bag to your room.I hope Chinese hotels will improve on their safety procedures.36. The foreigner suggests that ____________.A. all the exits should not be always chained and lockedB. all the exits should be always chained and lockedC. fire regulations should be paid enough attention to in some hotels in ChinaD. the fire regulations should not be strict37. Nobody would get away if there were a fire in the building ____________.A. with the exit chained and lockedB. if the porter doesn’t tell people the escape routeC. before people found the notice about safety proceduresD. when too many people try to escape at the same time38. The nearest escape to the writer’s room in a hot el in Beijing was _____________.A. nowhere to be foundB. far from his roomC. next to his roomD. on the ground floor39. In Japan a guest is told how to get away in time of fire when he ____________.A. arrives at a hotelB. is traveling in the countryC. reaches the countryD. meets a porter40. The best title for this passage is ____________.A. Fire Regulations in China and JapanB. Hotels in China Lack（缺乏）Fire RegulationsC. Regulations of Fire in Chinese HotelsD. Foreign Guests Need Fire RegulationsBWhat is America’s number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that statement 30 years ago, but things have changed. Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football, there can now be an argument on which sport is American’s number one sport.Basketball really took a turn in the 1980’s as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level. Of course, basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr.J, but the real breakthrough(突破) came in the 1980’s and from there it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 90’s. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today, they had better be ready because there are so many talents(天才) in other countries and the competition will be stiff.Like basketball, American football has always been a favorite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely. The ratings(收视率) that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing. They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball’s rich history and maybe American national sport. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to happen.So what is American’s number one sport? To me baseball will always be Americans’ hobby --- rich in history and many memories for people of all ages. If you have any comments on this subject, do give your opinions.41. The most powerful basketball player in 1980’s is_____.A. Larry BirdB. Michael JordanC. Jerry WestD. Magic Johnson42.
