单选题Though Wales is visited mainly for its beautiful scenery, ancient castles and charming sea-side resorts, the fourth most popular place, attracting over a million visitors a year, is a little town on the River Wye, rightly called Hay-on-Wye. The great number of book shops has earned the otherwise sleepy little border town the name of "largest second-hand book shop in the world," for the whole town seems to be one massive collection of books. The whole thing began in the early 60's when Richard Booth opened an antique (古董) store in which he also sold some books. The books sold far better than the antiques and soon the clever businessman was buying up every piece of property (地产) he could get in town to store and sell books. It wasn't long before Mr. Booth began to call himself as "the world's biggest second-hand book seller." He began to attract attention from book lovers. The first success of Booth's books brought other book traders to town. When a fire destroyed much of the castle in the early 1980's Booth was forced to sell many of his properties. But other booksellers were only too anxious to move into town. People know it's the place to find any book you wanted, but couldn't find elsewhere. A lot of antique shops and restaurants have sprung up in the shadow of the second-hand bookshops. This has led declining (日益衰落) towns in other parts of Britain and abroad to seek Booth's assistance. So far, 30 towns in Europe and another 30 in the US have taken advantage of his ideas. Hay-on-Wye, meanwhile, receives little or no input from the Wales Tourist Board and runs its own tourist information center. To ease the feelings of people on both sides of the border, it considers itself neither in Wales nor England, but lying comfortably between the two. However, the town is certainly in Wales.

单选题In pioneer days, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another raise a house, build a barn, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, neighboring is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live close by. We live in an age of machines, and each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents' time, women met while they hung out their washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed their lawns. Today, women stay in the house with their automatic driers. The men can't hear anything above the roar of their power lawn mowers. And the children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being neighborly old-fashioned? In 1985, a power failure hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left stranded. Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and our largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other persons helped direct traffic. Trapped in elevators, people played word games and helped keep each other in good spirit. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being good neighbors is important.

单选题Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe (订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radios, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.
Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons (漫画).
单选题Vitamin D is necessary for health and growth. It is used by the body to form strong bones and teeth. That is why growing children need it.
Vitamin D is also called the sunshine vitamin. It forms when the skin is exposed to the sun. In the past people Blew what vitamin D was they learned that sunshine was important. Poor children lived in crowded slums (贫民窟). And they were often ill with tickets (软骨病). In England a tax was once placed on windows. Builders put few windows in houses. Rickets became so common that it was called the English disease.
