【题目】Is it fair for restaurants to ban little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.
YES There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers. ----Kate Barker Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s. ------Mike Vuick Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise. ------Dale Levitsky | NO Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there. --------Nicholas Song Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too. -------Elliott Hall |

【题目】What is a fair wage? 【1】 These are some of the questions the United Nations International Labour Organisation(ILO) has recently investigated.
With a global population of over seven billion, is it actually possible to measure an average amount?_ 【2】_ Using the total wage bill from over seventy countries, they have multiplied the amounts by the number of earners in each country. The economists then tallied up the results and divided them by the total number across the world The result was a world average wage equivalent to $1,490 a month. _【3】_
This figure might seem very high because they calculated the amount using purchasing power parity dollars, which takes into account the fact that it is cheaper to live in some countries than others. _【4】_
Calculating an average sum like this might not be a completely fair representation, but these figures do help us to understand how the world is developing, both economically, in the quality of life people are experiencing and their standard of living.
But the result shows that the average wage is still relatively low and there remains a huge difference in levels of affluence around the world. _【5】_ Is this fair? For many, pay equality still seems very far out of reach.
A. The ILO has now tried to work out the sums.
B. The ILO used statistics from over 70 different countries
C. Why aren't more people in the world offered pay equality?
D. That is approximately $75 a day for a 20-day working month.
E. Some people live on just two dollars a day, while others are earning more than a million dollars a year.
F. When someone works for themselves, what are they called?
G. The data also did not include the huge number of people who appear in poverty statistics or who are self-employed.

【题目】Whether or not to go to university will probably be the biggest educational decision you ever make. After battling with student finance, deciding whether or not to take a year out can be as terrifying as deciding where to move to for the three years.
Some students will have planned their year out for months, but, for others, slipped grades may force a gap year(间隔年), either to retake exams or to apply to different universities. Others might just need time to think. Thankfully, for U.K. students, taking a gap year remains a good option and it can be one of the most productive and fulfilling years of their life.
Whether you’ve planned and budgeted for a year abroad, or have made a last-minute decision to delay your first year, the options are endless. Traveling, volunteering and so on are all there for the talking. With so many things on offer, it’s important to remember that 12 months won’t be enough time to do all of them, so decide early and work towards making whatever you want to do a reality.
Researching a gap year is exciting, and often the place to start is at home. Family and friends can be a great source of inspiration. Your school or college might be fully equipped to advise you on what to do when further education is on hold. Don’t underestimate(低估)the power of the Internet, either. Typing a “gap year” into a search engine might seem too obvious, but planning to travel around the world for months on your own is not appropriate.
To stay at home or go abroad is likely to be the first question you consider, but in this era of budget flights, doing both is practicable. A European inter-rail ticket(火车票)can be as little as 159. For those loving traveling, they must be on the special watchfulness for tricks in the process. Agencies can organize your year abroad for you, and often, it is more effective to make the bookings through the agencies. But flights and other forms of transport within Asia and America are much cheaper when bought in the countries rather than bought in advance.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, why do some students have to take a gap year?
A. Because they are faced with financial problems.
B. Because they dislike what they are learning .
C. Because they haven’t got satisfying grades.
D. Because they intend to hang out for a year.
【2】The underline words “on hold” in Paragraph 4 mean “________”.
A. taken in B. put off
C. given up D. turned out
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Few students can afford to go abroad.
B. Traveling around Europe costs nothing.
C. It’s better to go to Asia and south America.
D. Travellers should make sure they aren’t cheated.
【4】The auther’s attitude towards a gap year may best described as__________
A. supportive B. negative
C. defensive D. sensitive
