The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30,the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break.Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good.

Supportive B. Doubtful C. Opposed D. Disappointed CThe term “to extend an olive(橄榄) branch” means making an offer of peace or reconciliation (和好). This term has its origins from the Bible, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood has come to an end is an olive branch brought back to the ark (方舟) by a dove. Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome, and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace. Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻) for peace, because olive trees famously take years to mature. War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones. Therefore, the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war, whether it be an actual war or a falling out between friends. In Ancient Greek and Roman times, people would offer actual olive branches. In Rome, for example, defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in， and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies. In the modern era, the branch is usually metaphorical, rather than actual, not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain. Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society, are a good idea. Between nations, obviously, it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly. This act can also be important on a personal level, as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures. At some point in their lives, many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue. Some people believe that it involves an immense amount of courage to take this action, as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.29. According to the Bible, _.A. an olive branch suggests flood is approachingB. the ark is made of olive tree woodC. an olive branch means flood is overD. a dove loves to settle on the olive branch30.

Olive branches make people tired of war.C. The war is typically very hard on the olive trees.D. People cannot afford time to nurture them at war.31. Why are actual olive branches seldom used in modern times?A. Olive trees are being protected now.B. Olive trees are planted only in certain countries.C. Olive trees can be difficult to seek.D. There is no need to use real olive branches.32. What can we know from the text? A. It is of little significance to extend an olive branch on a personal level. B. To extend an olive branch only matters between nations.C. In conflicts, it is not easy for a person feeling guilty to extend an olive branch.D. Extending an olive branch is an important life skill in many cultures.DWeekend EXPOSingapore EXPO Halls 1-310am to 10pmThe last Saturday of every monthFun. Family.
