Mr. and Mrs. Harris had always spent their summer holidays in a small hotel at the seaside near their hometown. One year, however, Mr.  Harris made a lot of money in his factory, so they decided to go to a foreign country and stay at a really good hotel.
They flew to Paris, and arrived at a 5-star hotel late in the evening. They thought they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small hotel where they used to stay in the past, no meals were served after seven in the evening. They were surprised to be told that the hotel served dinner until ten.
"Then what are the times of meals?" asked Mrs. Harris.
"Well, Madam, we serve breakfast from seven to eleven, lunch from twelve to three, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to ten."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the city!" said Mrs. Harris.
小題1:Why did Mr. and Mrs. Harris think they would have to go to bed hungry when they arrived at the hotel?
A．Because it’s a 5-star hotel.
B．Because they thought no meals would be served late in the evening.
C．Because they were very tired after the trip.
D．Because they didn’t want to eat anything.
小題2: How long did the service time for lunch last in the hotel?
A．2 hours.B．4 hours.C．3 hours .D．1 hour.
小題3: What did Mrs. Harris think of the times of the meals in the hotel?

C．She thought they would have enough time to have meals.
D．She thought the times were suitable and felt very satisfied.

小題1:B
小題2:C
小題3:B

小題1:本文第二段第二句為They thought they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small hotel where they used to stay in the past, no meals were served after seven in the evening.所表示的含義為哈里斯夫婦認為將挨餓去睡覺是因為他們認為在晚上較晚的時候旅館不提供食物，故本題選B。
小題2:本文的第四段為we serve breakfast from seven to eleven, lunch from twelve to three, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to ten午餐從12點到下午3點，應(yīng)該是3個小時，故本題選C。

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport （交通） are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt （塵土） of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.

Today we’ll talk about the history of blue jeans. For many people, blue jeans stand for (代表) American culture.
The history of blue jeans usually began with a man named Levi Strauss. He did not invent jeans. But he is the first person to produce and sell them in large numbers. Levi Strauss was born in Germany. In 1847, he and his family moved to the United States. He opened a small store and sold jeans. These pants were especially useful for miners (礦工) in California. They needed strong clothing. Levi Strauss worked with Jacob Davis, who had invented a step for making rivets (鉚釘) for jeans. They helped make the blue jeans stronger.
In 1873, Strauss and Davis received a patent (專利) to own this invention. Nineteenth century workers would probably be surprised to know that their pants would one day become fashions. Today, jeans are worn by people of all ages. Jeans come in many colors other than blue and in many styles and prices. Fashion designers even create very costly jeans.
Writer James published a book called Jeans: A Cultural History of an American Icon (偶像). In the book, he says jeans serve as a sign for two American values, creativity and rebellion (叛逆).
