        In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living.

        Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary-school building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.

        The teachers say, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.” And so the courses includes yoga(瑜伽), cooking, knitting(编织), kite-making, music, fishing, drama(戏剧) and environmental river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science.

    The Danish capital is a year-round destination. Here are some of the city's best annual events.

    Roskilde Festival (July)

      The Danes love the outdoors and they love rock music; the Roskilde Festival is where they combine these passions for a weekend of drunken celebration. The four-day event is held about 30 minutes from the city completely, which means you can either go in for the full festival experience, or you can travel from the city to the festival each day.

    There are also day tickets if you don't have the power for the whole collection of facts.

    Kulturnatten (October)

    For something a little more high brow there's the Night of Culture. For one night only some 300 venues in the city stage theater performances, art exhibitions, concerts and poetry readings.

    Father Christmas Congress (July)

    One of the more bizarre fixtures in Copenhagen's calendar, the event is held in July—the slow season for Santas—at the Bakken amusement park, some 20 minutes north of the city. The most interesting of the event is a procession of Santas from all over the world along Str??get. Parents should be prepared for some embarrassed questions from the kids.

    Tivoli Gardens (November/December)

    These pleasure gardens make for a great day out any time of the year but to see them at their most attractive, visit from mid-November through December, when they are transformed into a fairy tale of lanterns and Christmas markets. There's also outdoor skating, a Christmas entertainment and the very Danish 'Nissek??bing' village, home to more than 100 mechanical fairies.

    53. If you are free in October, you can go to _____.

    A. Roskilde Festival                B. Kulturnatten    

    C. Father Christmas Congress            D. Tivoli Gardens

    54. Roskilde Festival is a festival _____.

    A. where many famous singers in Denmark gather

    B. which is only held in the center of a city

    C. that lasts about half an hour per day

    D. that the Danas can enjoy

    55. How does the author think of the procession of Santas?

    A. Astonishing. B. Funny.       C. Worth seeing.    D. Full of encouragement.

    56. The passage is probably written for _____.

    A. guides       B. tourists     C. businessmen  D. writers

    Some places in the world have strange laws. It’s important for you to know about them before going there.
    Whoever likes to chew gum(口香糖) may have to leave Singapore. The government really wants to keep the city clean and will fine you for chewing gum.
    Before you leave for the United Arab Emirates you’d better make sure you aren’t visiting during Ramadan(斋月). During that time you aren’t allowed to eat or drink in public. Tourists have been fined up to $275 for drinking in public.
    Lovers spend so much time kissing each other goodbye at train stations that trains often start late. This law — no kissing your lover goodbye at train stations – is rather old, and isn’t in use today in France.
    In Thailand it’s against the law to drive a car or motorcycle without a shirt on, no matter how hot it is. Punishments are different in different areas and can include warnings and tickets costing about $10. No joke -- the local police will stop you.
    Studies in Denmark have shown that cars with their headlights on are more noticeable by other drivers than those with their headlights off. Drivers there are required to leave their headlights on even during the day, or they may face a fine up to $100.
    Do you often buy things using coins? Don’t do it in Canada. The Currency Law of 1985 doesn’t allow using only coins to buy things. Even the use of the dollar-coin is limited (受限制的). The shop owner has the right to choose whether to take your coins or not.

    The Danish (丹麦) architect of the iconic Sydney Opera House, Jorn Utzon, has died at the age of 90, after suffering a heart attack.

    Mr. Utzon, an award-winning architect, put "Denmark on the world map with his great talent," said Danish Culture Minister Carina Christensen. Having won a competition in 1957 to design the building, he left the project before it opened in 1973. Mr. Utzon never visited the completed landmark, after disputes about costs. He had quarreled with the Australian client and the costs overran by 1,000%. Even decades later, he declined invitations to return to Australia, but did design, with his son, a new wing which opened in 2006. In 1998 he said, "It's part of education–I can't be bitter about anything in life."

    Most of the interior（内部）of the opera house was not completed according to his plans after government-appointed architects took over the job.

    The Sydney Opera House planned to dim the lights on the sail-shaped roof on Sunday to mark Mr. Utzon's death.

    The chairman of Sydney Opera House Trust, Kim Williams, said, "Jorn Utzon was an architectural and creative genius who gave Australia and the world a great gift. Sydney Opera House is core to our national cultural identity and a source of great pride to all Australians. It has become the most globally recognized symbol of our country."

    Mr. Utzon also designed the National Assembly of Kuwait and several prominent buildings in Denmark.

    Danish Minister of Culture Carina Christensen paid tribute to him, saying, "Jorn Utzon will be remembered as one of the Danes who in the 20th century put Denmark on the world map with his great talent."

    Mr. Utzon won several international awards, including the Alvar Aalto Medal for architecture and France's Legion of Honour.

    In 2003 he won the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize for his design of the opera house.

    1. Which of the following is true about Mr. Jorn Utzon?

    A．He was born in Demark and worked in Australia.

    B．He left Australia before his design was completed.

    C．He refused to go back to visit the Opera House all his life.

    D．He disagreed with the government client on the building materials.

    2.From the above passage we may NOT know ______.

    A．what Mr. Utzon has contributed to the world

    B．the exact time of Mr. Utzon’s birth and death

    C．whether he had a family or not

    D．when Opera House was completed

    3. What did the Opera House plan to do to mark its designer’s death?

    A．A memorial party would be held on Sunday.

    B．Another award would be given out to Mr. Utzon’s son.

    C．The lights on the roof of Opera House would become less bright.

    D．Another wing would be designed to remember Mr. Utzon.

    4. The most proper title of the above passage might be ______.

    A．Sydney Opera House architect dies

    B．Life of Mr. Utzon, a Great architect

    C．Designer and builder of Opera House

    D．Awards of the Opera House Architect
