I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing.Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in cleaning up and holding on.

One Canada, Two Languages
Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the British empire(帝国)in 1867 to become an Independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television
networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it's almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels(标签) and instructions in both languages.
In Canada's English speaking provinces, official bilingualism(双语) means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French
If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园)or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
28. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?
A. Britain B. France C. America D. Germany.
29. Where can you watch French television programs?
A. Only in Quebec. B. In Quebec and a few other places
C. From the two national television networks. D. All over Canada.
30. What do we know about the education in Canada?
A. In English speaking provinces only English courses are offered.
B. The courses in primary school are all taught in English
C. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.
D If you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects are taught in French.
31. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. English is spoken in Canada.
B. French is spoken in Canada.
C. Canada has two official languages: English and French
D. All the above.
D
Tourism has the power to bring jobs and economic development to popular destination(目的地), but how should travelers decide where to spend their money? Are some countries more deserving of visitors' dollars than others?
That's the idea behind the 10destination list put together by San Franciscobased nonprofit Ethical(有道德的)Traveler, which since 2006,has published an annual guide to the World's Best Ethical Destinations in the developing world.
“Instead of publishing countries for doing bad things,” said Jeff Greenwald, executive director of Ethical Traveler, “we're trying to offer a favor, rewarding countries in the developing world that are really trying to do the right thing. ”
So which countries are the most ethical? For 2013, the winners are Barbados, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Ghana, Latvia, Lithuania, Mauritius, Palau, Samoa and Uruguay.
Those 10 countries scored highest in three main areas—social welfare, environmental protection and human rights.Greenwald explained that countries must have a good tourism infrastructure(基础建设) to make the list, but the nonprofit Ethical Traveler also uses the list to promote(提倡) some undervisited places that can be a role model for other countries in their region.For example, Latvia earned high marks for improving its environmental efforts and strong human rights record, and the country's parks and nature reserves make for a great offthe beatenpath ecotourism trip.
In addition to just visiting these countries, travelers should aim to spend their money in locallyowned business, Greenwald said, to ensure their financial support stays in the country they're visiting. However, that requires a wellmanaged tourism infrastructure.While one could argue those poor places need the money even more, tourism can put pressure on countries that face such challenges.
Erica Avrami, research and education director at the World Monuments Fund(WMF) said that a list of ethical destinations is “a wonderful idea”, the idea of being ethical goes both ways.“There's also a certain responsibility on the part of the traveler to make sure their own footprint is as minimal as possible,” she said.
32.The passage mainly aims to
A.promote ethical destinations
B.encourage ecotourism trips
C.speed up the development of tourism
D.discuss which countries are ethical destinations
33.According to the fifth paragraph Latvia can make the list partially for its .
A.good tourism infrastructure B.regular ecotourism trip
C.strong human rights record D.good social welfares
34.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Tourism fails to help develop local economy and provide jobs.
B.Ethical Traveler rewards the developing countries for doing the right thing.
C.All the destinations should equally share the money spent by visitors.
D.Ethical Traveler punishes the developing countries for doing wrong things.
35.In the eyes of Erica Avrami
A.being ethical is not actually a wonderful idea
B.travelers are advised to travel as far as possible
C.being ethical depends on both travelers and destinations
D.travelers should leave as much footprint as possible
