5.What is the best title of this text ? A.How to be a good audience of Beijing Olympic Games B.How to support players at Beijing Olympic Games C.How to control yourself at Beijing Olympic Games D.How to be a volunteer at Beijing Olympic Games (二) London--A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City. As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. “For me, the difference is that London is real, alive, said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London, she said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris, she said. “Both cities have changed beyond recognition, said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better. But certainly not cheaper. In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose. “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized, she said. “In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares. 查看更多

    A blog can be a very effective way of spreading the words about yourself, and your other writing. It can unshroud your knowledge, and create an ongoing relationship with your readers. A good blog is more than just a marketing tool; it’s also an expression of your personality.

    An obvious starting point is to post samples of your work that not only show off your skills and writing ability but also leave people wanting more. Post selections from the most exciting parts of your stories but end them just as the action reaches its peak. If you write nonfiction (写实文学), show people what they could achieve, and give them a few steps to get them started.

    Give tips, information and advice about the subjects you cover. For example, something about struggling with difficulty and many other issues like this. Your writing tips can also be included, as well as interesting, strange or funny things you discovered during your research. Whenever you contact an expert, ask if he or she has any interesting stories you could use. You may also give background information about your stories and the locations.

    Give details of coming posts on your blog, so people can watch out for you, or come and meet you. Personal news will help people feel better connected to you. Include photos of objects and locations in your writing, famous people you meet, the views from your window, and your favorite things—with a note about where they came from and what they mean to you. Look out for things that will help your readers get to know you better, know the subject better, or anything else you think they might find useful, inspiring or entertaining.

    If you only occasionally post things on your blog, people have a tendency to forget you. As a writer you shouldn’t ever run out of interesting materials to fill your blog with—and your readers will love you for it.

  A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading.It is remarkable first for what it contains:the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music.

  A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it:never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text.

  A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any reader is interested in.What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now.But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value.

  For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper:what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper.For all these reasons, reading newspaper efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

  A good many people queued up to use a cash machine after it started giving out double the money requested.

  The cash machine, outside a Sainsbury's store in Barham Road, Hull, attracted a big crowd of people hoping to take advantage of the fault, on Tuesday night.Police officers were eventually sent in to guard the machine and prevent anymore money from being withdrawn.The fault is thought to have affected cash machines at supermarkets across the city.It is not yet known whether the customers will have to repay the cash or how much money was taken out.

  A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said,“Officers were sent to the cash machine to prevent anyone else from withdrawing anymore money.We have also tried to make contact with the owners of the machine.” The spokeswoman said those who benefited from the fault could be traced and could face theft charges, but investigations would only take place if the operator made a complaint.

  The cash machine is owned by a company called Payzone, a spokesman later confirmed.He said the fault was due to the machine being filled with notes of the wrong denomination(面值).An investigation is underway into the incident and the machine had been taken out of service, he added.

  The Payzone spokesman said,“The transit company(转运公司)which is contracted to service this ATM has filled it up with the wrong denomination of notes, meaning it is paying out double what it should have.” He could not say how much money had been taken out of the machine, or whether it would have to be paid back.It was understood that a number of cash machines in Hull owned by other companies had also been affected by this problem, he added.

Choosing a nice mountain bike for you is easier than learning how to ride it. Keep these tips in mind:
Decide how you are going to use your new mountain bike.
Are you a new rider who simply wants to travel outdoors on the weekend,weather permitting?Do you intend to test yourself on the rough roads,every day,rain or shine?Or are you going to use your new mountain bike to ride to and from school or work?Be honest about your intentions,and you’re more than half way toward choosing the right mountain bike for you.
Visit your local bike shops.
Any good bike shop will stock a wide range of quality mountain bikes in all price points and sizes. Your local bike shops will carry more than one brand of bicycle. Not only will they sell you a mountain bike that suits your needs,but they will service what they sell. Visit at least a few shops. You’ll get one that satisfies you right away.
Don’t be bashful.
Tell your salesperson how you intend to use your new mountain bike,and how much you are willing to spend. Your salesperson will show you a selection of models and brands accordingly. He or she will also help you determine the right size for you. You may ask more without any sense of shyness.
Take a test ride.
All good bike shops let customers take test rides. There’s a good reason for this beyond “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship. Since you already know your price range and find the right size,you now have to find out which brand you ride best. They want you to be happy with your purchase. After only a few test rides from more than one bike shop,the right mountain bike will choose you.
