Its a whole world in a city.The World of Theatre: All of New York is a stage. And it begins with Broadway. Where else can you find so many hit shows in one place?

They usually take exams in Korean, maths, sociology (社会学), history and foreign languages.Officially there is one college place for every 1.33 students. But because all the students want to go to the top universities in the country, the competition can reach one place for 10 students. The students want to attend these colleges for both their famous names and better job opportunities.Because students face fierce competition, they have to study very hard to realize their dreams. Park Seung said he and his classmates often go to school before 7:30 am. After school has finished at 6:30 pm, most of them go to the library to continue their study instead of returning home. Since many libraries in South Korea are open 24 hours a day, they often stay long into the night. Many of the Senior 3 students only sleep for three to four hours a day.“I feel a lot of pressure，but I have to study very hard in order to make my dream come true. This is my lifetime goal and it will be a turning point in my life which could decide my future,” Park said.The exam day is a very serious day for the whole of South Korea. Vehicles are not allowed within a 200-metre radius (范围) of all the test sites to make sure the students have quiet surroundings. Tooting (吹奏) of horns is forbidden, even airplanes are ordered to avoid landing and take-off near the test sites during listening comprehension test hours.Students are told their scores in December before they apply for college. This is followed by face-to-face oral tests. There are public and private universities in South Korea. Many private universities are well-known, but their fees can be 18, 000 yuan each term. This has made a lot of students think again.59. In South Korean _.A. there is only one college B. there is only one top collegeC. there are only top universities D. there are a number of colleges60. We can infer that there are almost _ college places for high school graduates.A. 675, 000 B. 507, 520 C. 500, 000 D. 600, 00061. Airplanes are not permitted to land near the test sites _.A. when the test beginsB. when the test is going onC. during some period of the testD. during the tests62. Before students are allowed to colleges _.A. they will be interviewed B. they will ask questions of collegesC. they will not be tested any more D. first they will pay all the education fee at allCYou are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isnt really dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞 ) failed to open and he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls, too.63. What can be inferred from the authors example of the Norwegian stuntman?A. Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman. B. Parachutes must be of good quality.C. The percentage of serious accidents is high. D. The cliff was too high.64. Stuntmen are those who _.A. often dress up as actors B. like to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actions D. often fight each other for their lives65. Stuntmen earn their living by _.A. playing their dirty tricks B. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains66. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _.A. he needs little protection B. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is in dangerD. his safety is generally all right67. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?A. Strength. B. Exactness. C. Speed. D. Carefulness.DToday, more and more people are using credit cards instead of money to buy the things they need. Almost anyone who has a steady income and continuous work record can apply for a credit card.If you have a credit card, you buy a car, eat a dinner, take a trip, and even get a haircut by changing the cost to your account. You can pay for purchases a month or two later, without any extra charge. Or you may choose to spread out your payments over several months and pay only part of the total amount each month. If you do this, the credit card company of the bank who sponsors the credit card will add a small service charge to your bill. This is very convenient for customers. With the credit card in your wallet or purse, you dont have to carry much cash. This saves your trips to the bank to cash checks. Also if you carry credit cards instead of a lot of cash, you dont have to be concerned about losing your money through carelessness or theft.Credit cards are big business. Americans spend $16 billion a year on cards. Credit card companies make a profit from the fees they charge the store and also from the fees collected from customers who pay for their charges in monthly installments(注册). However, credit card companies sometimes have problems collecting overdue payments from unreliable customers if they charge more than they can pay for.Yet, in many ways, the big loser in the credit card system is not the credit card company, the store, or the card user, but rather the general customer. The store makes up for the fees it pays to the credit card company by increasing prices for goods and services. Stores may have more sales if they accept cards, but the added cost to the store when credit cards are accepted instead of cash is actually passed on to all consumers in higher prices. In this way, the cash
