shops and markets are having their seasonal sales. with the same amount of money, you can find different kinds of goods in this city. women, young and old, rarely resist the attraction of this shopping paradise(乐园) at this time of year. lovers will surely have an exciting christmas and new years eve celebrations at the time square or in the western styled bars. spending your holiday in hong kong will be easy too, as several packing tours are available from czl travel service, with four-day tours for less than 15,000 yuan.tour package1(3,200yuan) : a 4-day-tour including three nights

interests in hong kong23if you want to go shopping while visiting the vexwork museum, youd better choose _.a. tour package 1 b. tour package 3c. tour package 2 d. tour package 1&2b you probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. you probably know the rules of a library. you know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. but do you have music manners? keep it down! you have to notice the volume of your music. you should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. some people might even get angry. usually, when you play the music loud on an mp3 player, other people cant hear the words of the song. they just hear a loud sound. not one wants to listen to this. very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to your mp3 player, you shouldnt have it turned up too high. take them off! you need to know when to turn your mp3 player off and put away. libraries and schools dont allow mp3 players. there are other places, like museums, that dont have rules, but it would be rude to have your mp3 player on. sometimes, it just doesnt make sense to listen to your mp3 player at event. why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? you would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came. take one out! once in a while its okay just to take out one earphone and no other. imagine you are listening to your mp3 player when someone asks you the way. it would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. you can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone. its your choice! there are times when you need to decide what is best. for example, some people can listen to music on their mp3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. in cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.24the underlined word “volume” in

.a. is not enjoyable b. makes us tired c. is bad for mp3 players d. hurts our ears26its all right to use our mp3 player in _.a. schools b. libraries c. restaurants d. museums27what can be the best title of this passage?a. music lovers b. music mannersc. mp3 players d. mp3 earphonesc books have tremendous power. between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone or anything. unfortunately, many children all over the world dont have access to books. for several years now, maria keller, a 14-year-old girl from minneapolis, minnesota, has been changing that fact. when she was 8 years old, maria already loved reading. she also noticed that some of her classmates didnt read as much as she did. when she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might not be able to afford books. maria had never thought of this. she could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. she became determined to change this. with her mothers help, maria created read indeed. read indeed is a non-profit organization aiming to collect and distribute(分发) books to children in need. during the early stages of read indeed, maria set the goal to collect and distribute 1 million books by the time she was 18. it didnt take long to reach that goal. today, at age 14, she has collected over 1.8 million books and has shipped them to many states and countries around the world. she says, “i cannot live without books. as i continue my mission, i have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. so i just cant give up, even after reaching my original goal of 1 million books distributed.” she recently set a new goal: to distribute donations to kids in need in every state in the united states, and every country in the world. she keeps track of her progress on a large map at the warehouse(仓库) where they store and sort books. maria believes that she can get support from
