Now they had nothing except the old house and they had no money to buy any food. They thought for long time. Then they decided to sell the house and look for their father. So one day the two brothers said goodbye to their friends and started to go. They got to the station and bought two tickets.They were afraid that they would be hungry in the train, so they went to the market to buy something to eat. They saw bananas for the first time. The seller told them they were very delicious, so they bought five kilos and got on the train with them. After a while Bruce brought out a banana and bit a little.

U. S.-based Citibank (花旗银行) put a job announcement in a local newspaper last week calling for executive trainees. It was part of Citibank s business plan in China to draw local professionals (专业人员). Demand for personal banking services has been on the rise since China joined the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001. The move does not only happen to Citibank. Many other foreign-funded banks in the city have made similar decisions. The U. K. s Standard Chartered last year employed over 30 graduates from Chinese universities and colleges as executive trainees. They are expected to take up managerial positions at the banks Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) has announced it will employ more new graduates in China in the coming year. Local people account for over 92 % of the office workers in its Shanghai operation.26.

In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American dream was to have a house in the suburbs. Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city a wealthier, more mobile class. Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.31.Paragraph 1 _.BA.explains why American cities are changingB.is a description of citiesC.shows that American cities have many problemsD.says: American cities contain the very best aspects of a society32.In the 1950s the American dream was _.D A.to have a color TV setB.to have a big carC.to buy an
