british village have been the church and the pub. traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.as a result, british pubs are often old and well preserved. many of them have become historic sites. the most famous example is the pub in the city of nottingham called “the old trip to jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 ad and is probably the oldest pub in england.however, british pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. on a cold night, the pubs landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. there is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.thats how things used to be. things are beginning to change. it is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩) is causing 39 british pubs a week to go out of business. people do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. recently, the uk government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.this decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the uk government started to allow pubs to stay open after 1l pm. previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. the british habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.in order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. british pubs now offer something for everyone. a lot of pubs used to be “working mens clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. perhaps things are changing for the better after all.46. the passage mainly tells us something about _. athe past and present of british pubsbthe decline of british pubscthe long history of british pubsdthe importance of british pubs47. which may not be the cause of the decline of british pubs? athe credit crunch.bthe present closing time.cthe ban of smoking.dhaving no spare money.48. we can infer from the passage that _. abritish people used to like drinking slowlybclosing the pubs early will reduce social problemscbinge drinking means drinking less beer dbritish government aims to discourage people from binge drinkingbin this age of internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. yet, despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. she wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition she won last year. as a writer i know about winning contests, and about losing them. i know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher. i also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. what if she doesnt win the contest again? thats the strange thing about being a parent. so many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface. a revelation (启示) came last week when i asked her, “dont you want to win again?” “no,” she replied, “i just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.” i had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. telling myself that i was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, i offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. the story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. i had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it. staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. because i know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, i had to accept the fact that i was co-opting (借用) my daughters experience. while stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that i will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. all the while i will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment, grow and find their own voices.49. what did the author say about her own writing experience? ashe was constantly under pressure of writing more. bmost of her stories had been rejected by publishers. cher way to success was full of pains and frustrations.dshe did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.50. why did rebecca want to enter this years writing contest? ashe wanted to share her stories with readers. bshe had won a prize in the previous contest. cshe was sure of winning with her mothers help. dshe believed she possessed real talent for writing.51. the author took great pains to refine her daughters stories because _. ashe wanted to help rebecca realize her dream of becoming a writer bshe believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidance cshe did not want to disappoint rebecca who needed her help so much dshe was afraid rebeccas imagination might run wild while writing52. whats the authors advice for parents? achildren should be given every chance to voice their opinions. bchildren should be allowed freedom to grow through experience. cparents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in. da writing career, though attractive, is not for every child to pursue.csamuel langhorne clemens better known by his pen name mark twain was an american author and
