Id taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She had been the o
18、ne teaching me all my life: to cook and sew, to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back. It wasnt easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a f
19、ew months of Scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing. This proved to be a bigger challenge to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces. “Are you this demanding with your kindergarte

24、 more phone calls. C Some people like modern art, while others say that it is rubbish. But a cleaner who works in the Tate Britain Gallery in London isnt able to tell the difference. The woman, whose name isnt known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, an
25、d threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too badly damaged to be put on show again, and so he found another bag. 78-year-old Mr. Metzger explained that the exhibit, whic
26、h he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary (暂时的). Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr. Metzger would be
27、paid for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr. Metzgers work every evening with a coloured cloth.

33、 people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts. Never mind that Beijings dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid
34、growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new popularity. Since Beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to th

Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local government, preparing the hil
38、ls, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4 million to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in a
39、nd price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job. 6 32. What does this text mainly talk about? A. Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars. B. A sud
40、den increase of ski training classes in Beijing. C. Things to be considered when starting a ski resort. D. Skiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare time. 33. Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe? A. To visit more ski areas. B. For better services and equipment. C. For a large collect
41、ion of ski suits. D. To ski on natural snow. 34. The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to . A. transport to ski resorts B. production of family cars C. business of providing spare time enjoyments D part-time work for people living in the suburbs 35. What is the main problem in
