Visitors to Britain are always complaining(抱怨) about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic(奇特的).

  Those of us who do know English food realize that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food——we eat to live, we don't live to eat. So we don't generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals or ready prepared food which only, needs heating up before eating.

  You can find the best English food in the country away from large towns, where life is slower and people not in such a hurry. But more visitors come to London, they come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing(观光). They do not come because of food, so why should they complain about it ?

(  ) (1). Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food because _________.

A. they don't often eat English food

(  ) (2). When English people have guests they prefer to _________.

A. cook some unusual food         B. offer them some prepared food

A. People don't want t6 spend time and effort in cooking.

(  ) (4). Visitors can find the best English food _________.

A. in the restaurants in large towns      B. in the country

A. visitors have the rights to complain about English

B. as well as food people come to shopping and sightseeing

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don ’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.

When visiting Beijing, the Palace Museum is a must-see for many people.
Last year, the museum received 14.2 million visitors, which is twice the number of visitors in 2002. This year it is expected to increase by 10 percent. Compared with other popular museums around the world, the number of visitors at the Palace Museum is very high. Last year the Louvre(罗浮宫) in Paris welcomed 8.8 million visitors and the British Museum in London received 5.8 million.
A large number of visitors can bring a lot of money from ticket sales. But there are also worries that people will do demage(破坏) to relics(文物) and old buildings.
To solve the problem, some people suggested taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum. In this way, visitors coming for ancient buildings and cultural objects will go to different places. “It is a sign of progress. Letting more people see these treasures is more important than keeping them in their original(原始的) place,” said Song Xiangguang, a professor at Peking University.
However, Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, doesn’t agree on this idea. He thinks that the most important thing in protecting the Palace Museum is to keep it complete. “The 1.8 million cultural relics and the historical buildings are two key parts of the museum. They can’t be separated.” he said.
Shan said that they are planning to increase the space that is open to the public. This will not only feed visitors’ curiosity(好奇), but also spread them out so they are not putting too much pressure on one area.
Shan also wanted to set up an appointment system. “ If visitors make an appointment before they come, we can make better and different visiting routes(路线) for them.” Shan said.

【小题1】How many visitors did the Palace Museum welcome in 2002?

A.14.2 millionB.8.8 millionC.5.8 millionD.7.1 million
【小题2】Why did some people suggest taking cultural objects out of the Palace Museum?
A.To let more people see the relics. B.To bring less damage to the relics.
C.To make more money from ticket sales.D.To keep the Palace Museum original.
【小题3】The underlined word “separated” means ______ in Chinese.
A.分离B.破坏C.偷窃D.压迫
【小题4】By reading the article, we can know that______________.
A.the Palace Museum has an appointment system now.
B.relics are the only important part of the Palace Museum.
C.the Louvre welcomed the most visitors in the world last year.
D.Shan thought that more areas of the palace should be open to public.

“An old village woman in her seventies from Zhenjiang Province rented a small house in Shanghai and let visitors to the World Expo live there for free while she slept on a little couch. Her kindness moved(感动) countless people.” Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said so at the Expo 2010 Shanghai China on October 31 when it ended.
