The Irish are world-famous for being a friendly nation and yet you hesitate as you climb to the top of a hill and see a fisherman storing his tools, the dog good-naturedly circling his feet. The camera comes out. The scene is so in line with the postcard Ireland you remember seeing pinned to the wall. Walking closer you drop the camera until you re close enough to simply watch and listen. The water gently touches his boat. His tools hit the dock (码头），making ringing noises.The dog has discovered you sitting so quietly on the hill and although he s been playing in the water he knows no sense of politeness and runs toward you only a slight delay in his step as his owner shouts out a command. It slows his progress toward you, but only slightly. That dog is about to give you the wettest and hairiest hug you ve had in weeks.The dog has opened the door to conversation now and as the dog leads you to the fisherman you glance toward the sound of an approaching car，his wife，here to pick him up and transport his catch back into town. The immediate polite conversations unfold I m an obvious American and don t deny it，they re curious as to why such a healthy and pretty young lady such as myself is wandering the cold hills in such a remote area of Ireland. “ Single are you? Well why in the world are you traveling by yourself, you 11 never meet a man that way?” demands the wife. Shes a tough customer and cant understand my answer “because I enjoy it，” evidenced by her long-suffering sigh and a muttering (喃喃自语）about “young people” .Theres a secret spot in Ireland，and Im not going to tell you where it is. Im not going to tell where it is because I know there re other Irish towns out there just like it all laced with joy of simplicity.25. What is the writers identity?A. A detective. B. A traveler. C.

But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved (参与)in their kid s education are rewarded with an A，and parents that haven t done their bit get a disappointing D.The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses criteria such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The schools principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme (方案）had been well received.“There were some critics(批评），but my response was well, it cant do any harm. Between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent，” she explained.Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. “The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will pay dividends for the rest of that child s academic life”, she said.But while the scheme may be well intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.And of course，being involved in your kid s education doesn t begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!28. What do schools usually do at the end of the school year?A. Evaluating kids performances.B. Making Christmas cards.C. Dividing candies.D. Grading parents.29. What does the schools principal Chambers say about the scheme?A. It uses criteria to assess kids.B. It has gained much acceptance.C. It gives parents further education.D. It improves kids motivation for learning.30. What does the underlined part “pay dividends”（Para. 5) probably mean?A. Hold shares.B. Earn profits.C. Sacrifice health.D. Produce advantages.31. What does the author think of parents being involved in kids education?A. It adds to parents burden.B. It brings shame to parents.C. It means far more than being graded.D. It increases parents commitment to education.DIn Switzerland, the land of watches, trains really do run like clockwork. “ If I m 30 seconds late，the train is gone，” said Michelle Kranz，who commutes (通勤)daily into Lucerne, where she works for the tourist board.Step across the border, and you re in a different universe. Italy has two rail schedules： the one printed in the brochure and another, flashing updates, on a board in the station. The first may be a fantasy； the second, reality. Next to posted departures, “Invariably you see the word ritardato ( delayed)，” said Rick Steves，who writes guidebooks and runs a tour company called Europe Through the Back Door in Edmonds, Wash.Your time or my time? When traveling, you re in their time. And that can affect almost everything： catching trains and buses, shopping, getting a meal and making appointments.Knowing a little about the culture can prevent much of the frustration. “ It s important to go with the flow，” Steves said. “If you go to a restaurant in Spain at 7 p. m.，thats bad news. The staff is eating then. ” Try going after 9 p.m.，as the Spaniards do. For the Swiss， the earlier the better, say 6 p. m. ； after 10，a tourist hoping for a hot meal in Switzerland just might go hungry.However, in some Latin American nations, hours and minutes seem hardly to matter. In Mexico，guests invited to a 6 p. m. social dinner think nothing of showing up two or three hours later, said Terri Morrison, who is updating a 1995 guide she co wrote called，“ Kiss，Bow or Shake Hands ： How to Do Business in More Than Sixty Countries，” for release next year. In fact，it s wise to arrive at least an hour late for dinner in Mexico City，Morrison said，to avoid embarrassing an unprepared host. There are many theories as to why time doesn t fly at the same speed around the globe. Climate, economics and culture may play a role.32. Which country does best in punctuality?A. Switzerland. B. Italy. C. Spain. D. Mexico.33. What can be learned about Italian train services?A. They change schedules twice a day.B. They have no fixed schedules.C. They usually arrive on time.D. They often delay.34. What do the Mexican think of time?A. It means money.B. It is not important at all.C. It is embarrassing to be late.D. It is not enough for writers.35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Punctuality is a special virtue.B. The Swiss appreciate tight schedule.C. Some cultures are more punctual than others.D. A small amount of lateness is acceptable.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。The Final Way to Get Cheap Hotel Rooms Does it seem like hotel costs just go up and up?
