    Need to relax after a few stressful months? Perhaps you need to go to a spa.
    First of all, what exactly is a spa? Traditionally, spas were places with a natural spring producing warm waters that could be used in hydrotherapy (水疗法) treatments. They were places where you “took the waters” --- meaning you drank some of the water or bathed in it.
    But nowadays, a “spa” can mean a variety of things. In general, the term is often used to refer to commercial establishment that provides many services for health, fitness, weight loss, beauty and relaxation. This may include exercise classes, mud baths, body treatment, facials (美容), etc.
    In Japan, traditional hot springs have attracted visitors for centuries. And thermal baths (温泉浴) have been found in the ruins of the Cretan Palace of Knossos (2000-1400 B.C.). It was the Romans who made spas popular in Europe. They established a number of towns around thermal waters. These include the English town of Aquae Sulis (which is called Bath today), and the Belgian town of Aquae Spadanae (which is known as Spa these days).
    In the 18th century, spas became the fashionable places to go on holiday. Bath and Harrogate in the UK were popular with British rich people. And in Europe Carsbad (now called Larlovy Vary), Marienbad and Franzensbsf were Europe’s most important holiday centers.
    A typical day in Carsbad in the 19th century went as follows. Visitors got up at 6:00 a.m. to take the waters and listen to music by a band. Next, came a light breakfast, a bath in the waters, and then lunch. In the afternoon, visitors went sightseeing, walked or attended concerts. After dinner, there were theatrical performances. Guests returned to their hotels at about 9 p.m. to rest until six the following morning. Visitors would stay for as long as a month. Some of the more famous patients at these spas included the composers Beethoven and Chopin, and the Russian writer Turgnev.
    Marienbad was the best spa town. It was popular with the inventor Thomas Edison, the writer Johann Goethe, and many famous people and European emperors.
    Today, although taking the waters isn’t as common as it used to be, spa treatments are more popular than ever.
    小题1:What can we learn about a spa?
    A．It makes profits mainly on facials.
    B．It is a center for rich people to relax.
    C．It provides more services than before.
    D．It is where one can get medical treatment.
    小题2: From Paragraph 4, we can infer that ___________.
    A．spas have a history of about 200 years
    B．Japan has more spas than any other countries
    C．the Romans played a positive part in the popularity of spas
    D．ordinary people could enjoy thermal baths in 18th-century UK
    小题3: At the spas in Carlsbad, ____________.
    A．many visitors had facials
    B．guests often stayed for at least a month
    C．Thomas Edison was a regular guest
    D．guests had a bath between breakfast and lunch
    小题4: What can we learn from the passage?
    A．The former name of Larlovy Vary was Carlsbad.
    B．Spa treatments are not so popular as before.
    C．Chopin visited Marienbad frequently.
    D．Marienbad is located in the UK.

    For many years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint. Perhaps artists first went there because of the city′s beauty. They went to paint pictures of the broad, tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges.
    The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art. Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues(雕像)from many countries. And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas. In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting.
    As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn from them. People came to buy paintings. People called  art dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold. Others kept shops that sold artists′ paints and supplies.
    Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money. They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another. They held art fairs, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets.
    Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers. But the world’s main art exhibits are still held in Paris. Important judges of art live there.

    A．painting the beautiful scenes of Pairs.

    April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the United States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls' horizons（视野）and raise their self-confidence.
    For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive(主管).”says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work."
    Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers Green High School for girls in north of London, has made the day a necessary part of careers education.
    Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers Green, went with her mother Gwen to her Lawyer's office this year's Take Our Daughters to Work Day. "I learned how to fill in a legal aid form and I read details of a case. Then I went to see the actual trial." she said.
    Zarina found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It's really strange seeing Mum at work--running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.
    Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.
    小题1:The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to ______.
    A．tell how the special day for girls came into be.
    B．show us the girls can do as well as boys.
    C．introduce a special day for girls to us.
    D．broaden girls’ view and raise their confidence.
    小题2:According to the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, ______.
    A．girls can do as well as boys in any field.
    B．girls need more opportunities in society compared to boys.
    C．girls will follow their parents’ jobs after watching them work.
    D．girls will be more confident than boys due to the special day.
    小题3:A particular mention of Zarina’s story ______.
    A．tells what a woman lawyer’s daily work is like
    B．serves as an example of how the Day works.
    C．shows a successful mother’s effect on the daughter.
    D．explains why a girl should go to see mum's office rather than dad.
    小题4:In the text the writer especially suggests the importance of ______.
    A．parents’ job.
    B．support from society.
    C．understanding of the parents.
    D．girls’ self-confidence.

    When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
    When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
    Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”
    As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea.
    I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
    At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.
    How things change! And how soon!
    Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.
    The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment (投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.
    But it’s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
    No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2012, a goal set by both governments.
    No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中国和印度的) century as the two countries started on January 1st the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.
    But what is still a wonder to me is my mother’s drinking Chinese tea.
    小题1:Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?
    A．She was tired of Indian tea.
    B．She had a son working in China.
    C．She believed it had a curing effect.
    D．She was fond of Chinese products.
    小题2:What does the author mean by “it’s a two-way street” in Paragraph 10?
    A．China and India have different traffic rules.
    B．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.
    C．Chinese products are popular in both China and India.
    D．There are exchanges between India and China.
    小题3:What do we know about the Indian IT industry?
    A．It is seeking further development in China.
    B．It will move its head office to Shenzhen.
    C．It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion.
    D．It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.
    小题4:In the text the author expresses _______.
    A．his concern for his mother’s health
    B．his support for drinking Chinese green tea
    C．his surprise at China’s recent development
    D．his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry
    小题5:It is inferred in the text that _______.
    A．the author’s mother loves China very much
    B．the Indians were not familiar with China before
    C．the government of India encourages their people to buy Chinese green tea
    D．the two countries didn’t cooperate until last year

    The expression “keeping up with the Joneses” was first used in 1913 by a young American Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to Long Island, outside New York City.
    But just moving there was not enough. For when Momand and his wife saw that their neighbors belonged to a country club they too joined a club. And when he saw that rich people were expected to ride horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave grand parties for their new neighbors.
    It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.
    The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an inexpensive New York City apartment.
    Momand later said that his experience had been a cruel awakening for him. However, he was able to see the funny side of it. He looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors.
    He decided that this would make good stories for many papers across the country. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common American name. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s stories appeared in different newspapers for over 28 years.
    People never seem to tire of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “right” restaurants. But no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
    小题1:The writer of this passage means to tell us ___________.
    A．what Arthur Momand did to keep up with his neighbors
    B．how the expression “keep up with the Joneses” came into being
    C．what we should do to keep up with our neighbors

    A．he wanted to live in a rich neighborhood
    B．there was a country club for him to join
    C．it was outside the city and good for horseback riding
    D．his wife came from that area
    小题3:By saying “It was like a race”(in Para 3), the writer means ____________.
    A．it was just a suitable place for the horse race
    B．Momand and his wife kept themselves busy
    C．Momand’s neighbors also gave parties one after another
    D．Momand tried to compete with their neighbors in his way of life
    小题4:The funny side Momand saw in his experience was _________.
    A．he moved back to a cheap place
    B．he was not alone in keeping up with his neighbors
    C．he made a mistake in following other people’s examples
