This can be the most important event（事件）of the year except the graduation（毕业）day. Students plan the Home-coming Day for many weeks. A few days before Home-coming, students start to decorate（装饰）the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Home-coming twenty or thirty years after their graduation. The members of school clubs build booths （ 摊 位 ） and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors. During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school. Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band （乐队）comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment（时刻） is the moment when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students choose a most popular student the Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honour（荣幸）to be chosen. The Home-coming Day is a happy day. Even if the team loses, the students still enjoy it. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone, it is a day they will always remember. 41.

If you are under 24 or over 65 0r if you are traveling with a family, you can buy cheaper tickets on the train. In towns and cities there are usually buses. On Sundays there are fewer bus services and some smaller places may not have a Sunday bus service. In London there is also an underground. But the underground is not easy to use, so you should learn more about it before you use it. Hotels are very expensive in Britain. A cheaper way is a "bed and breakfast" in someone’s home. Tourist offices or information centres can help you to find these. There are also youth hotels in many places. Students may receive a discount. Restaurants are often expensive and you cannot be sure the food will be delicious. But Chinese and Indian restaurants usually serve pretty good meals at lower prices. Fast food shops are cheap, but the food is not always very good. Not all banks exchange foreign money, but you can usually find at least one bank in each town that does so. If you become ill or have an accident while in Britain and your country has an agreement with Britain for medical care, you can get free medical treatment. You can only buy stamps in post offices, but nearly every village or part of a town has a post office. Often it is inside a small shop. 44. You may see the article in . A. a guidebook B. a geography book C. a food advertisement D. a medical book 45. How many kinds of traffic are talked about in the passage? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 46. Which of the following is NOT true? A. There’s only one bank in each town in Britain. B. A 30-year-old man cannot pay less money for trains in Britain. C.

I could see the yellow leaves(树叶) dancing in the cool wind. I felt lonely and life is uninteresting. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I ran out to see where it was from. A young girl, standing in the wind, was lost in playing her violin. I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I forgot who I was. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the same place and I was the only listener. It seemed that I no longer felt lonely and life became interesting. We didn’t know each other, but I thought we were already good friends. One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. The girl came over to me. "You must like violin," she said. "Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?" I asked. Suddenly, a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. "I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It is your listening every day that has encouraged me." she said. "In fact, it is your music that has given me those meaningful days." I answered. "Let us befriends." The girl smiled and I smiled. I never heard her play again in my life. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream; so short, so bright that it makes life beautiful. There are many kinds of friends. Some are always with you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. I shall always think of those golden days and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend. 47. The story happened _ .
