Passage 1

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it，and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train，car or bus，even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money，one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then，in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend. more time in trains or buses，one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings，one can enjoy the fresh，clean air of the country. If one likes gardens，one can spend one’s free time digging，planting，watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then，when the flowers and vegetables come up，one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.

Some people，however，take no interest in country things：for them，happiness lies in the town. with its cinemas and theatres，beautiful shops and busy streets，dance–halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s(two weeks)visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want：the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (287 words) 6. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. A. T B. F

7. With the same money needed for buying a small flat without a garden, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. T B. F

8. People who have spent time working in the garden will be rewarded when the flowers and vegetables come up. A. T B. F

9. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that their life was meaningless if they had to live outside London. A. T B. F

10. A fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is enough for people who love country life.

A. T B. F

Passage 2

against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us–an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace，our age is essentially an un-heroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down，poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.

Cultural icons are hard to define，but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星)，who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and 0therS mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince，renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death—such as Martin Luther King, Jr. John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
