ately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.

You can' t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.

It' s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man' s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.

What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train？

A．They will stand up reluctantly.

B．They will offer her their seats after a while.

C．They will pretend not to see her.

D．They will get off the bus.

started at Windsor Castle,one of the homes of the Royal Family,so that the Royal children could see the runners leave.The race was planned to continue for 26 miles 385 yards (42,195 metres),now the accepted distance for this race,into Central London.Because of the great heat,however,many runners had to give up before they could finish the race.Towards the end,the large crowd waited with great excitement for the South African,Charles Hefferon,to come into the stadium first.They were surprised,however,when the 1st man to appear was the small Italian,Pietri Dorando.Dorando was by now extremely tired and weak and,as he was running round the stadium towards the finishing line,he fell to the groud,unable to continue.Doctors rushed to help him and he soon got to his feet and continued,with loud cheers from the crowd.As he came close to the line he had to be helped again, this time by a journalist,but finally he finished the race.He was not,of course,allowed to receive the gold because he had had help during the race.Afterwards, Dorando argued unsuccessfully that he had not asked for this help.But the medal was given to an American,Hayes,who had finished second.However, Dorando later received a special gold cup from Queen Alexandra for his courage.

年都相对更加融入了国际贸易中。中国先开放，现在印度也正对外开放，这对中国和美国的福利有何影响？(提示：考虑对世界经济增加个类似于中国的新经济体.)

From an economic point of view， India and China are somewhat similar: Both are huge， low-wage countries， probably with similar patterns of comparative advantage， which until recently were relatively closed to international trade. China was the first to open up. Now that India is also opening up to world trade， how would you expect this to affect the welfare of China？ Of the United States？ (Hint: Think of adding a new economy identical to that of China to the world economy.)

Passage Five

Hollywood (好莱坞) is a suburb of the city of Los Angeles (洛杉矶) in California. Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city, but in that year William Selig, one of the first people to make films, set up a film-producing workshop (车间) in Los Angeles. By 1911 , David and William Horsely had set up another one in Hollywood, and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood. Thus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells

The early makers of films found Hollywood a good place for their work because of its clear, sunny, rain-free weather, which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round. Also, it was known that every kind of scene needed for films, whether town, country, sea, desert or snow-capped mountains, could be found within the area of California. Today, when most films can be "shot" (拍摄) under cover by man made lighting, these advantages (优点) are not so important.

In spite of a drop in its importance, Hollywood remains a center of film production although now making more films for television than for the cinema.

52. David and William Horsely ______.

A. were the first to set up a film-producing workshop in Hollywood

B. discovered oil in and around Hollywood

C. followed William Selig to Hollywood and settled down there

D. turned Hollywood into a film producing center of the country

Once a week my aunt would announce, "I am going to have my bath today."

Now most people find it fairly simple to have a bath.You probably remember how it goes.You enter the bathroom, you put the plug in, turn on the hot water, get into the bath, wash, sing, get out, dry yourself and exit.My aunt's approach was more epic(宏大的), like one of those long Eisenstein films where people seem to be climbing up the same flight of stairs forever.

My aunt would first slowly collect her clean linen(亚麻布衬衫), so as to have it all ready for changing into after her bath.This involved sorting out her linen, which took up most of the morning.Sometimes she would find an old letter buried among her linen, become interested in the memories it aroused and have to postpone the bath until the next day.But if all went well, she would have a bite of lunch and start Phase Two around two o'clock.

Phase Two was washing out the bath.She would wash the bath very thoroughly, rinse(冲洗) it with running cold water, rewash it and then carefully feel the whole surface with her fingers.If there was the slightest blemish, she would clean the whole bath out again.This took about an hour.Then she would fill the bath.

By this time she was feeling a bit hungry and exhausted.So she would put on the kettle for a cup of tea.Several cups of tea and several cream crackers (her favourite food) later, she would go back to the bathroom.And find the water stone cold.

ox and declared open on Sept. 18,1899.

Created to provide more space for city officials, it turned out to be thelargest building in the city and the largest city building in North America at the time.

Lennox took three years to design the City Hall and it took 11 years to buildit. Contemporaries believe that the odd carvings (雕刻) above the Queen Streetentrance were actually caricatures (漫画) of councilors at the time.

Lennox even included himself in the caricatures, on the west side of thecentral arch (拱门), and left a strange signature in the stonework of the link portionsof the building.

The third City Hall was originally used as councilors&39; offices and legaloffices, but it is used only as a courthouse today.

When the fourth City Hall (the one we know today) was declared open in1965, Old City Hall was threatened to be pulled down. It was saved by a group ofpeople called the "Friends of Old City Hall. "

The clock tower stands parallel with the middle of Bay Street, rather thanwith the center of the building. The bells in the tower were not installed until thebuilding opened. Old City Hall was declared a historical site in 1989.
