Barcelona December 22,2007.

Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (欧元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.

El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.

Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.

The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.

The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.

Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.

The underlined word “windfall” in paragraph two probably means         .

       A.fat gift            B.unexpected fortune

       C.big feast          D.wind and snow

Who is likely to win the full prize in El Gordo?

       A.People who paid 200 euros for the wole group of series.

       B.People who bough tickets with the magic number 06381.

       C.People who lived in a town in the northwestern Asturias.

       D.People who chose lottery numbers matching Alonso’s date.

According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .

       A.host the draw of lottery live on TV

       B.offer a show of three – and – a – half hours

       C.perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration

       D.help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests

What can we learn about the history of lotteries in Spain?

       A.Most of the money people spent on lotteries goes in the cost.

       B.The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.

       C.Lottery numbers matching significant dates help people win every year.

       D.As the biggest in the world, Spanish lotteries have a history of two centuries.

The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.’

The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world—or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred (=not clear) image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure (引诱;诱惑) of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’You mention the remotest, most evocative (引起记忆的) place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’—meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.’

When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.

Anthropologists label nowadays’ men ‘Legless’ because _________.

A. people forget how to use his legs.

B. people prefer cars, buses and trains.

C. lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.

D. there are a lot of transportation devices.

Travelling at high speed means _________.

A. people’s focus on the future       B. a pleasure

C. satisfying drivers’ great thrill      D. a necessity of life

Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’?

A. People won’t use their eyes.

B. In traveling at high speeds, eyes become useless.

C. People can’t see anything on his way of travel.

D. People want to sleep during travelling.

What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?

A. Legs become weaker.

B. Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.

C. There is no need to use eyes.           D. The best way to travel is on foot.

What does ‘a bird’s-eye view’ mean?

A. See view with bird’s eyes.        B. A bird looks at a beautiful view.

C. It is a general view from a high position looking down.

D. A scenic place.
