阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Sina Weibo, one of the country’s most popular micro-blogging sites,has launched a paid service.For a 10 yuan ($ l.57) monthly fee, users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts.
According to Xu Yuanyuan, a member of the marketing team at Sina, themove is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users.But despite the company’s efforts to increase income, it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version.
The premium membership (高级会员) plans ,announced by the company on Monday, brought about negative comments from its users .
“The current service is good enough for me”, said a Beijing-based micro-blogger.“I don’t really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money.I might consider paying for it if some more features are added.”
Dong Xu, an analyst with consulting firm Analysys International, said that Sina shouldn’t expect a great increase in income brought by the new services.The free services are enough for most users, Dong said. “The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year.A potential source of income could be gaming.Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income.” she said.
Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit.Fang Gang, vice-president of rival Sohu, said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu’s micro-blogging service will never charge users.“It’s good news for us.Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina).” Fang said.

The most important thing I did in Paris happened at that moment.I knew that if I didn’t go out, right then, and find a place to have dinner, I would hide in this small room my entire time in Paris.I might never learn to enjoy the world as a single individual.So I went out.Evening in Paris was light and pleasant.I walked along a path, listening to birds sing, watching children float toy boats in a huge fountain.No one seemed to be in a hurry.Paris was beautiful.And I was here alone and suddenly not lonely.My sense of accomplishment overcoming my fear and weakness had left me feeling free.I wore out two pairs of shoes during my week’s stay in Paris.I did everything there was to do, and it was the greatest week of my European vacation.I returned home, becoming a believer in the power of traveling alone.Now when I meet difficulties I just say to myself, “If I can go to Paris, I can go anywhere.”

My family moved from Taiwan to a small town in central Georgia,where my dad got a visa for his family and a job. I had just learned English,and from what little I could gather from my classmates,Santa Claus would come down one’s chimney(烟囱) and put toys in one’s stocking on Christmas Eve! What a great country,I thought.After I looked up “stocking” in my Chinese-English dictionary,I knew what I had to do.
On that fateful night,after everyone went to bed,I took my longest,cleanest knee sock and attached it to a nail already on the mantel(壁炉).Obviously,the previous owners of this house were no strangers to this Santa character.
I woke up before everyone else on Christmas Day and ran to the fireplace.To make a sob story short,I was hit with the reality of an empty sock and the biggest lie ever told. I burst into tears,quickly took down the sock,and stuffed it in the back of a drawer.Santa was dead.
Every December since then,the topic of Christmas memories would unavoidably come up,and I would amuse my friends with my poor-little-me story.I had to make it as funny as possible,or else I would cry.
How could I know that Santa was just late? Nine years ago,on Christmas Eve,an older man with a white beard and a red cap knocked on my front door.He said,“I’ve been looking for you for twenty-five years.” He handed me a bulging red stocking,winked,and left.On top of the stocking was a card. It read: “For Becky—I may have missed you in the second grade,but you’ve always lived in my heart.Santa.”
Through tear-blurred eyes,I recognized the handwriting of Jill,a friend I had met just two months before.I later discovered that the older man was her father.Jill had seen the hurt little girl underneath the thirty-something woman and decided to do something about it.
So now I believe that Santa is real.I don’t mean the twinkle-eyed character of children’s mythology(神话) or the creation of American holiday marketers.Those Santas annoy and sadden me.I believe in the Santa Claus that live inside good and thoughtful people.This Santa does not return to the North Pole after a crazy delivery but lives each day purposefully,really listens to friends,and then plans deliberate acts of kindness.
1.What does the underlined part “what I had to do” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Waiting for Santa Claus.
B. Putting a stocking on the mantel.
C. Asking for gifts from her parents.
D. Looking up “stocking” in the dictionary

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting.It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel.After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country.1.
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy.House sitters might have to care for pets.Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning.2.I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owner have a short holiday.Sometimes it is for much longer.We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
5.Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there.One of the important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well.You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.

As people have accurately observed,smiles are absent from early photographs. In 1852,for instance,a girl sat for her Daguerrotype,her head slightly turned,giving the camera an unsmiling look. She is preserved forever as a very serious girl indeed. Charles Darwin,a loving and playful parent,looks frozen in photographs. Why did our ancestors,from unknown sitters for family portraits(肖像画) to the great and famous,because so sad in front of the camera?
The severity is everywhere in Victorian photographs. However,you don’t have to look very long at these unsmiling old photos to see how incomplete the seemingly obvious answer is-that they are freezing their faces in order to keep still for the long exposure times. In Julia Margaret Cameron’s Portrait of Tennyson,the poet dreams,his face a shadowed mask of genius. This is not simply a technique. It’s an emotional choice.
People in the past did not go around in a continual state of sorrow. In fact,the Victorians had a sense of humor even about the darkest aspects of their society. Laughter was not just common in the past but accepted by society far more than it is today,from medieval carnivals(中世纪狂欢节) to Georgian print shops,where people gathered to look at the latest funnies. Far from preventing festivals and fun,the Victorians,who invented photography,also created Christmas as a celebration as it is today. So the severity of people in the 19th-century photographs cannot be the evidence of generalized sadness. This was not a society in permanent desperation. Instead,the true answer has to do with attitudes to portraiture itself.
People who sat for early photographs understood it as a significant moment. Sitting for the camera was cheaper,quicker and meant that people who never had a chance to be painted could now be photographed; but people seemed to have taken it seriously in the same way they would be a painted portrait. Like a portrait painting,it was intended as a timeless record of a person.
To me those unsmiling people probably had as much fun as we do,if not more. But they felt no need to prove it with pictures. Instead,when whey sat for a photograph,they thought about time,death and memory. Perhaps we should stop smiling sometimes,too.
1.What do we know about the people in Victorian times?
A. They laid importance on religious events.
B. They were skillful at portrait painting.
C. They valued their family life.
D. They enjoyed themselves.
2.The author mentions Portrait of Tennyson in Paragraph 2 to__________.
A. prove a theory
B. support his opinion
C. introduce a painting
D. describe a technique
3.The author thinks early people look frozen in old photos because____.
A. they lived in a traditional society
B. they had to stay still for a long time
C. they regarded photography important
D. they held negative views about painting
4.What is the author’s attitude towards people not smiling in old photos?
A. Skeptical.
B. Critical.
C. Neutral.
D. Positive.
