special event at his college. the piece had more than a thousand notes. the audience was impressed by his amazing performance. he is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. samuel says confidently,” its all about super memory-i guess i have that gift.”however, samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. his family says that even when

because it was quaint (古雅)all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls houses. i loved the countryside and the pubs, and i loved london. ive slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because i think its an ugly town now.things have changed. for everybody, england meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. the fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good mannerspeople shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.i regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. youre forced to live indoors. in paris i go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. to meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. the cafes are not terribly nice.as a woman, i feel unsafe here. i spend a bomb on taxis because i will not take public transport after 10 p. m. i used to use it , but now im afraid.the idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in england. my family is well united and thats typically french. in middlesex i had a neighbor who is 82 now. his family only lived two miles away, but i took him to france for christmas once because he was always alone.25. the writer doesnt like london because she _.a. is not used to the life there nowb. has lived there for seventeen yearsc. prefers to live in an old-fashioned housed. has to be polite to everyone she meets there26. where do people usually meet their friends in england?a. in a cafe. b. in a restaurant. c. in a nightclub. d. in a pub. 27. the underlined part

francec. was from a typical french familyd. didnt like the british idea of familyc like many new graduates, i left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what i wanted to do. my degree, with honors, in english literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. i knew i wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but i had no idea how to do that. thats when i learned about the lighthouse project. i started my journey as a lighthouse project volunteer by reading as much as i could about the experiences of previous volunteers. i knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that i would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. in short, i did not take my decision to apply for the lighthouse project lightly. neither did my family. eventually, however, i won the support of my family, and i sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. after countless interviews and presentations, i managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. several months later, i finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. i would be going to a small village near abuja, nigeria. where? what? nigeria? i had no idea. but i was about to find out. after completing my training, i was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if i were their own family. i was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. for the next year or so, i taught in that same schoolhouse. but i sometimes think i learned more from my students than they did from me. sometime during that period, i realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though i did not get anywhere with the local language, and i returned to the united states a different man. the lighthouse project had changed my life forever. 29. according to the paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author a. discussed his decision with his family. b. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work c. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

c. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work d. faced strong competition from other candidates 31. on arrival at the village, the author was a. asked to lead a farming team b. sent to teach in a schoolhouse c. received warmly by local villagers d. arranged to live in a separate house. dstill seeking a destination for your weekend break? there are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.kings art centre a day at the centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. this weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. you could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint free of charge. the centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.the botanic garden the garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for cambridge university. the multi-branched torch aloe here is impressive. the african plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. get to the display house to see dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the venus flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. the garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. look for grass snakes in the lake. a snake called hissing sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.byrons pool many stories surround lord byrons time as a student of cambridge university. arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. however, it seems as though byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. he spent a great deal of time walking in the village. it is also said that on occasion byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as byrons pool. a couple of miles past grant chester in the south cambridge shire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. the cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. if you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from virginia woolf over a century after byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.32. as mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. a. attending the masters class b. working with local artists c. learning life drawing d. seeing an exhibition33. “torch aloe” and “venus flytrap” are _. a.
