    Send us your old jeans and other denim (牛仔布)!
    What Are We Going to Do with All This Denim?
    All the denim will be donated to COTTON FROM BLUE TO GREEN.®. This denim drive is a call-to-action to donate denim and give it "new life" by changing it into UltraTouchtm Natural Cotton Fiber Insulation (纤维隔热材料), which is used to help build houses in places that have been damaged by hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Your jeans will help set a record, keep clothes out of landfills (垃圾场), and build houses for families to live in! UltraTouehtm is made of 85% recycled fibers and is an environmentally safe, natural cotton fiber insulation.
    It's a Fact
    It takes about 500 pairs of jeans to recycle enough denim to insulate one average-size U.S. house. So send us lots!

    1. Get a parent's permission and select as many denim clothes as you like. (Any denim clothing is OK.)   
    2. The denim must be used.

    I used to work in an office, which had a Iocust tree growing outside the window. It had grown into a tall tree and must have been there for a long time. The tree blocked the view and made the office seem dull. Unfortunately, this happened to be the room assigned to me, and l was depressed by it for quite some time.
    When the first spring came, everything was green except the locust tree.I felt very happy because I had thought it had died!
    One morning, when I opened the window for some fresh air, I unexpectedly smelt a familiar sweet scent floating into my office which I could not name. Suddenly,I realized it was the locust tree!The tree that I thought dead was in full bloom!
    From then on, I usually came to the office very early to see dew forming on the locust tree blossoms, and was eager to see spring again every year.
    During summer, the green leaves provided shade protecting me from the harsh sunlight, but allowing enough light in to make it pleasant. In autumn, the leaves turned many different colors. Its beauty touched my soul. Many times, I thought to take photos but never did. Then, I had to leave in a hurry. Later in life, it became a great regret that I had not done so.

    When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions, that is, their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver bowls. But now in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance (优雅)has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and informality, with dresses in an informal and ordinary look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it means economic hard times.
    Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is removing 1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000  the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) field. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.
    Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs（失业） in Stoke have their roots in great social changes. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend(潮流)" toward informal dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or because they want to eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone informal. In a time of long work hours and busy family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Clean the silver bowls ? Who has time?
    Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned before at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette courses for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.
    71. In many homes nowadays, people tend to ______________________
    A. stick to formal traditions when they dine
    B. set their tables with the good dishes and silver bowls
    C. have dinner informally
    D. buy many sets of fine china
    72. Why do people tend to follow the trend towards informal dining?
    A. Family members need more time to relax.
    B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.
    C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.
    D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.
    73. It can be learned from the passage that ‘Royal Doulton’ is              .
    A. a store of steel tableware                 B. a store of stoneware
    C. a store of pottery chain                 D. a producer of fine china
    74. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is              .
    A. the increased value of the pound          B. the worsening economy in Asia
    C. the change in people's way of life         D. the fierce competition at home and abroad
    75. In the last paragraph, we can find that formal table manners, though less popular than before in present social life,               .
    A. are still a must on certain occasions       B. are certain to return sooner or later
    C. are still being taught by parents at home   D. can help improve personal relationships

    If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧视）.
    About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就业） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（严重）.
    Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范畴）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
    Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
    “Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（倾向）than others.
    Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
    Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
    Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
    Director of the labour law committee under the All China Lawyers Association
    Jiang Junlu said the lack of related laws was at the root of all discriminations.
    46. Zhang Meng failed to get a job because __________.
    A. he had made more mistakes than others
    B. he lacked driving experience
    C. he was considered to have an unlucky name
    D. he couldn’t find a pleasant employer
    47. What is people’s response to discrimination in job market?
    A. They think it is unfair but necessary due to the large population of China.
    B. It does exist in certain regions, but is not so serious.
    C. Something must be done to stop it by governments.
    D. It is a local problem and isn’t worth much concern.
    48. What can be an effective way to fight against discrimination according to the passage?
    A. To fine companies which practice discrimination.
    B. To make laws related to discrimination.
    C. To stop more people moving into cities.
    D. To train people those who are poor in skills.
    49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Discrimination not only exists in companies, but also in governments.
    B. Employers nowadays concern more about appearance, height and gender.
    C. People in Beijing will never worry about experiencing discrimination.
    D. Requirements connected with the job itself should have been put in the first place.

    　　If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like“Shakespeare”,“Samuel Johnson”and“Webster”but none of these men had any effect at all compared with a man who didn't even speak English---William the Conqueror.
    　　Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
    　　But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of polities and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
