Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with sister city relationship.Their citizens find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups, choirs（合唱团）and orchestras （ 管弦乐队）. Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town , and show photos and slides.Town twining can help make friends and motivate（促进） people to learn from each other. It helps students to improve their language skills, and it contributes to （有助于）strengthening peace and understanding between different nations.16Which is the best title for the passage?ATown Twinning BFriendly TownsCExchange Teachers and Students DPeace and Understanding17Twin towns develop _.Abetween European countries and ChinaBin the English-speaking countries onlyCin the same countryDbetween different countries in Europe18One of the advantages of town twinning is _.Ato earn more money Bto set up schoolsCto improve students language skillsDto develop industry and agricultureBWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasnt a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “Thats just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments.

My ChildhoodCAt the age of seven I started taking violin lessons. I practiced half an hour every day, went to lessons once a week, and occasionally played in a group concert. Like most kids, I always thought practicing was boring. If my parents hadnt been there to make me practice, I probably would have put down my violin and never have picked it up again.I met Moira when I was 11 at an Irish music party. Moira hosted the party that night, playing the violin, singing and dancing. She made sure that everyone in the room got involved and had a great time. I immediately fell in love with the music she played and the energy that she brought to it. Just a few days after that party, I took my first lesson with Moira, and I continued taking lessons with Moira throughout middle school.When I started playing the violin with Moira, playing music became something that I loved. She introduced me to so many types of music, from Irish to Old Time, to Cajun. Moira also taught me to play the guitar. Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us! When I began to play the violin, practicing was something that I did at home in my living room, but with Moiras influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere. I played on street corners, at festivals, at the beach, at parties, at weddings, and late at night in my friends kitchens.Moira took the music out to the classroom and brought it to life. Her passion(激情)was not only for playing music, but also for sharing it. My time with Moira allowed me to grow both musically and personally. I have met so many special people and had so many invaluable(无价的) experiences. Moira has proven to be the most important influence in my musical development, and also my invaluable friend.24 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.

They worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers dont buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores, ” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“Its all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.28Which of the following statements is true?A.
