community leaders, leave their pants behind. usually this means wearing thick, appropriately modest boxer shorts, but bloomers, slips, briefs, and boxer-briefs all work as well.thats it?yeah, thats it. but from the core idea comes so much more. when large groups of people parade around in public without their pants, amazing things are bound to happen. at the very least, youll take your dull, miserable life a little less seriously, at least for one day.so i can wear a skirt instead? or “hey , no problem, i was going to wear a dress anyways!”youre very clever, but youre missing the point. articles of clothing like skirts, shorts, kilts, and dresses dont count, because people are encouraged to revel(狂欢) in the absence of pants, and not replace pants with other clothing. the point is to relax and enjoy the humor inherent in people not wearing pants. a good rule of thumb is to pretend like you were going to wear pants, and then just fail to put them on. is this a joke?in the same way that all of life is a joke, yes. but no. were not trying to cheat anyone, or satirize(讽刺) anything. were simply advocating a fun-filled holiday, and the more people who participate the more fun it is.did you know that in britain “pants” means underwear? shouldnt it be no trousers day instead?hmmm. this holiday could be extremely interesting in britain, then. but seriously, no pants day just sounds catchier, doesnt it? and besides, this gives british people something to mention when you bring up the holiday around them. they laugh and say, “in britain, pants means.” etc, and they feel good for being the center of attention. so bully for them! if i want to participate, what are the requirements?1.willing to take pants off on subway.2.able to keep a straight face about it.56. the first paragraph can be considered as _.a. a conclusionb. a commentc. a summaryd. a definition 57. the underlined sentence in the passage may mean_.a. you just dont understandthe real aimb. you arent getting the markc. you fail to find the particular placeb. you dont know the details58. why is no pants day not a joke?a. because it plays a trick on somebody.b. because it laughs at anything in life.c. because it is meant to offer people fun.d. because it requires a lot of people to join.bcommuters (上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to 350 a year. ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country. the scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years.employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staffmeaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work. the scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金库)some ten million britons drive to work each day，and the british chambers of commerce says the new charge could total 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.already some firms in nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work. a spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs. “it is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said. “and these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available. this is more about increasing the governments income than reducing traffic.”however，transport minister sadiq khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to nottingham. the council says the tax will raise as much as 100 million over ten yearsone fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.another transport spokesman theresa villiers said the tax would have a devastating（毁灭性的）impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.but richard hebditch of the campaign for better transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport. “we put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services. we are pleased that the people of nottingham will be the first to benefit.”59. supportersarguethatthescheme_. a. canhelpimprovetheparkingconditionsforthestaffb. shouldbeappliedtoallcommutersdrivingtoworkc. iscertaintobecarriedoutdespitetheobjectionsd.

need of improvementd. those firms with more commuters will leave nottinghamcif you have a chance to go to finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the finnish people are. take the taxi drivers for example. taxis in finland are mostly high-class benz with a fare of two us dollars a kilometer. you can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. the dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. the most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. with such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. the finnish workers are paid by the hour. they are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. from then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. with so many loopholes（漏洞）in everyday life, surely finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. but the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. in a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?63. while taking a taxi in finland, _ _.a. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go b. a passenger pays two us dollars for a taxi ridec. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverd. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying64. we know from the passage that big hotels in finland _ _a. provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsb. provide meals for any dinersc. provide free wine and charge for foodd. are mostly poorly managed65. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. the workers in finland are paid by the hour.b. the bosses in finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.c. the workers are always honest with their working hours.d. the workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.66. it can be concluded that _ _a. finnish people are not smart enough in daily life b. finland has been a good place for cheatsc. the finnish society is of very high moral leveld. all the finns are richdfun dayto celebrate the year of the snakeorganized by lam tin youth centre and kwun tong high
