“come to visit us and we will show you my mysteries,” they say.every year millions of people pack their suitcases or put on backpacks and flock to visit the seven continents of the world. they wander through the castles and museums of europe, and the cities and natural wonders of north and south america. some visit the vast exotic cultures of asia, africa and the middle east. the great outback of

reduce the number of real royals, as was recently announced. however, there seems little sign of the monarchy (君主) disappearing completelyup till the 17th century, the british king or queen was believed to rule by “divine (神的) right”, which was the idea that god chose the king or queen to rule and that he or she was therefore above the law. however, this idea ended with the english revolution, in which king charles the first was imprisoned and then killed in 1649so what role does the british royal family have today?well, the queen has important formal duties: as head of state, the queen represents the uk on visits abroad and invites other world leaders to visit the uk. as head of the armed forces, only the queen can declare when the uk is at war or when war was over. the queen also has constitutional duties: she has to sign many government and commonwealth (英联邦) documents every day. in addition, the royal family spends a great deal of its time traveling up and down the country in support of different charity projects. but the public in britain do not believe there should be a royal family. sometimes, the press and media criticize the royal family as well. one criticism is that british people should not have to pay for the royal family through their taxestoday, the royal family works hard to be relevant (相关联的）in the modern world. the queens speech on tv is less formal every christmas, and is now available as a podcast (播客). in 2005, after graduation from university, prince william spent time teaching english in uruguay, the sort of work many young british people do at some time in their lives60. what can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?a. the british king or queen is no longer believed to rule by divine rightb. the british king or queen is about to become common peoplec. the english revolution put an end to the british royal family in 1649d. the royal familys role was most important in britain in the 17th century61. which of the following is not among formal duties of the queen?a. declaring when the uk is at warb. travelling around the world for charity projects.c. inviting other world leaders to visit the ukd. signing commonwealth documents every day62. prince william is mentioned in the passage to show that _a. he is popular in the uk b. many young british people do voluntary workc. he has tried to win young peoples admiration d. the royal family is trying to change their image63. we can infer from the passage that _a. british people are all in favor of the royal familyb. the british royal family are facing surviving challenges c. the public are encouraged to oppose the royal familyd. british youths are required to teach english in uruguay in their livescthere are two things i can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “is there anything i can do for you?” and “hows the car?” i guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and hes determined to provide me with the support he lacked. during my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. in fact, he wasso supportive that i sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. but my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness. his other standard question hows the car? used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. what i now realize is that “hows the car?” is not about the car. its a fathers way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. the advantage is that if theres something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if youre having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act mom on the line. at age thirty i finally took the plunge (跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dads help or advice. im sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. though a daughters independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the jobs done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. even when my dad was overworked, hed happily jump on a plane if i said i needed help. his frequent question “is there anything i can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. its interesting: even though were tied by blood and i love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare to feel he has a role in my life. 64. the authors father always showed up in his daughters school activities to _.a. satisfy any demand she made to him b. show his interest and watch them for fun c. make up what he was previously short of d. expect his daughter would be great in games65. the author has learned that by asking “how is the car?”, her father is actually _.a. asking his daughter if the car breaks down or not b. reminding her not to waste moneyc. expressing his concern for her daughters safetyd. asking how his daughter is getting along66. according to the author, her father is unwilling to retire probably because _.a. he wants to continue to earn moneyb. he is doubtful of her independencec. he fears to lose his function as a dadd. he is not sure of the love from her67. we can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the authors eye her father _.a. has a strong passion for his work b. has the deepest love for his daughterc. has great interest in his daughters card. has too much control over his daughterdwhich tablet computer should you be buying: they are this years must have . and theres a style to suit everyone.best for young childrenleappad explorer 2, 68 aimed at children between three and nine (though a nine-year -old might find it a little simple), it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games (you can buy more). besides, the leappad does not allow access to the internet so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate. pros: the education games are well- designed, the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director. cons: some of the games are shockingly expensive. and the power adaptor is not included.best for teenagersipad 4th generation, 399-659 the ipad is still the market leader, and for good reason. if the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games, the latest offering from apple is the one to choose. pros: no other tablet can compete with the near one million apps (the name apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs) available for the ipad.simple to use, even for those who usually struggle with technology. cons: considerably more expensive than most competitors.best for working parentsmicrosoft surface, 399-559 tablets are brilliant for leisure but what if you want to do a bit of work? no

and you can buy a pretty lovely mini-keyboard for typing letters and emails, which also doubles up as the cover. pros: the surface is good for watching movies a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business
