Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 45 .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 46 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 47 they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 48 evening of the entire trip.“I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“but it wasnt worth it. The pay was 49 and it really was a 24 hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”“The trouble is, students expect to have 50 time of it.”Anthea Ellis points out.“ 51 ,they see it as a holiday. In practice, 52 ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(临时)work. Youll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. 53 ,youll work if its convenient for the company that employs you. But you have 54 employment rights.

Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small house or inns(客栈)instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.Rooms for the night in private(私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these Americas bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less.

(B)Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, infected six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds. A few days later, when they were coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups. Group 1 members spent three days and night in the same room with one of the infected students, separated by a screen so they couldnt touch one another. Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer talked, coughed and sang to them. Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and then touched their own noses or eyes.Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virusladen droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed. Gwaltney suspected physical contact might play an important role. Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a student volunteer, 11 became infectedcompared with only one of those who had been sitting at the table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.“The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting virus,” says Gwaltney. The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltneys reputation as a leading authority.Dr. Robert Couch says,“It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr. Common Cold.”When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies, “If you mean eradication(根除)， I dont think were going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon. But if you look in the dictionary, youll see thatcure is defined as a successful treatment. And were not just getting more effective at treating the symptoms(症状)Were getting at the root cause, too.”60.Dr. Jack M. Gwaltney conducted the experiment in order to _.A.find out the most common cause of coldsB.infect the student volunteerC.find out the role physical contact plays in the common coldsD.find out the role virus-laden air plays in the infection of colds61.The result of the experiment shows that _ plays an important role in the infection of colds.A.sneezing at the infected person B.touching the infected personC.sitting together with the infected person D.talking with the infected person62.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dr. Gwaltney was sure that hand-to-hand touch is the cause of the common cold.B.Only one of the people who had spent three days and nights together became infected.C.Dr. Gwaltney conducted many an experiment as to the cause of colds.D.Dr. Gwaltney tested altogether 43 volunteers to see how they could develop colds.63.Mr. Common Cold is _.A.a newly-found virusB.a nickname of respect to Dr. GwaltneyC.a way by which the other scientists laughed at Dr. GwaltneyD.a method to cure colds64.When Dr. Gwaltney gives a reply in the end of the passage, he means that _.A.they have found the fundamental cause of coldsB.they have managed to wipe out the cold virusesC.they have meant to experiment moreD.they have make much progress in dealing with colds (C)Bringing Art into HospitalsThe medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better.As part of nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places,some of the countrys best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings.Of the 2 500 national health service hospitals in Britain,almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages,waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent movements first started by one artist,Peter Senior,who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s.He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society,and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience(观众).A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week.What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art!Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975.Believed to be Britains first hospital artist.Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is stricking.Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours,playful images(形象)and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness.A study has shown that patients who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.65.Some best artists of Britain have been called in to_.A.set up new hospitalsB.make the corners of the hospital collect paintingsC.bring art into hospitalsD.help patients recover from serious illnesses66.After the improvement of the hospital environment,_.A.patients no longer take drugs to kill their painsB.patients dont have to stay long in hospitalC.patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illnessD.patients feel happy in hospital67.It can inferred from the passage that_.A.the role of hospital environment is being recognizedB.hospital artists have done more than doctorsC.exhibitions attract more audience in hospitals than in museumsD.the hospital is a better place for people than the museum in Britain (D)Bill and his family has been living in the six-family building for years. All the neighbours got along fairly well each other until recently. An old man and his wife used to live on the second floor. Bills mother and the old lady were good friends. Unfortunately the lady died last month. Her husband could not live alone ,so he had his grandson move over and live with him . The grandson has become a problem to all the neighbours, especially to Bills family. The walls of the building are thin and he is noisy. Bill is used to peace and quiet but the young man likes to listen to the radio late at night . Sometimes friends of his visit and they make a lot of noise. That is too much for Bills family. Bills mother once asked the old man politely if he was able to sleep well at night, but obviously the man didnt understand what she meant.
