判断题After I left Debrecen I walked for days and put up my tent at night. An old couple driving a horse and cart stopped and spoke to me. I tried out my broken Hungarian and they laughed. But it was obvious they were offering me a lift, so I got up on the cart, with my backpack and tent. They offered me some fiery apricot liqueur, home-made by the look of it. We drank it from the bottle. The land was flat. You could see forever. You could see as far as the future. At first we could still see the Hortobagy River, brown in the weak sunshine, and carpets of sunflowers. But then, as we jolted along a track in the cart, there was just the puszta—the dry Great Plain of Hungary. It"s where the Hungarians grow their wheat and catch their wild horses. A Hungarian poet once said that the earth and the sky are one in the puszta. I understand what he means. As far as you can see in every direction, the sky comes down and touches the land. This dry yellow land is not beautiful in the usual sense, but being in it, being part of it, I felt a great sense of peace. I have always hated mountains and skyscrapers because they are bigger than I am. But this... When I lay down and watched the puszta from the back of the cart, it was like being in a great safe flat bed that had no sides but just went on forever. It was then, at that moment, that I felt I could do anything in the world that I wanted. I was eighteen years old. Then, in the distance, we saw the horses. At first there was just a cloud of dust. Then, suddenly, about ten small, wiry, brown Hungarian wild horses charged across the Great Plain. They got near enough for me to see them tossing their heads. Two csikos, Hungarian cowboys, were chasing them. The cowboys saw the cart and shouted something. The old man shouted something back and he and the old woman laughed. They said something to me in Hungarian, probably trying to explain what the cowboys had said. I fell asleep. When I woke up, the horses and the two csikos had gone but nothing about the scenery had changed. We were still moving forward but it was as if we had stopped. I didn"t want us ever to arrive anywhere. I wanted to stay on that cart in the Great Plain forever. But at the same time I knew that when the journey was over, everything was going to be just fine. And it was. Decide the following statements are true (T) or (F) according to the passage.

判断题 Hostel buildings vary from cottage to castle. Most have been adapted to hostel use though some have been specially built for the purpose. As it is impossible to put identical facilities into such a wide range of buildings, hostels have been divided into four grades so that members pay an overnight fee roughly corresponding to the facilities provided. Nevertheless, whatever the architectural differences, all hostels offer accommodation with the following facilities. Sleeping In dormitories normally with 2-tier beds. Mattresses, blankets and pillows are provided but you take your own sleeping bag or hire a freshly laundered bag at the hostel. Washing Washing facilities are provided, and at hostels where stated there are also baths or showers. You provide your own toilet articles including soap and towel. Common Room All hostels have a common room. At some hostels this also serves as a dining-room. Meals At most hostels hot meals can be provided by the warden. (The Hostel Details state where this is not the case.) Meals cannot be guaranteed unless paid for in advance. Lunch packets should also be booked in advance whenever possible: it is easier to provide appetising fare when the warden knows beforehand how many lunch packets will be required. (Please note that lunch packets do not include any drinks.) Breakfast is usually cereal or porridge and a cooked dish followed by bread and marmalade and tea. Evening meal is a 3-course meal usually consisting of soup, a meat course, a sweet or pudding and tea. A number of hostels now have a cafeteria service or provide snack meals. Members' Kitchen At all hostels except some temporary hostels there are facilities for members to cook their own meals, including cooking points, pots and pans. There is no charge for the use of these facilities. Small Store Where the Hostel Details state that there is a small store it means there are sufficient foodstuffs on sale to enable serf-cookers to prepare a meal. The following list of a typical small store gives you a good idea of what you can buy, though every small store may not necessarily offer you these exact items. If ordered in advance: milk, bread, potatoes, margarine. Without ordering in advance: tins of beans and / or spaghetti, soup (for packets), condensed or evaporated milk, meat or meat pudding, fish, vegetables, fruit, steamed puddings. Small jars of jam and marmalade. Small packets of tea, coffee, sugar and cornflakes or other cereal. Matches. Chocolate. Packets of crisp bread or oatcakes and dehydrated potato powder. Store Where the Hostel Details state that there is a store with an extensive range of foodstuffs available. It is likely that such stores will have all the goods listed above and also the following: Greater variety of tinned goods. Packets of cheese, oats, biscuits and dates. Meat extract cubes. Milk, bread, potatoes and margarine should be ordered in advance. Cutlery and cookery are supplied whether you have meals provided or prepare your own. Hostel Telephones Telephones are primarily provided for administrative use and urgent business, not for social purposes. Wardens will pass on urgent messages, but cannot always locate a member to bring him to the telephone. It is helpful if you tell your friends and family "Don't ring me-I'll ring you," and then use a public call box. If a warden allows you to use the telephone for an outgoing call, please be brief-there may be a member in difficulty, urgently trying to contact the warden. Bookings can be made by telephone. The telephone may be used for enquiries.

判断题Enya was born in 1961, 17 May, and spent her childhood in Gweedore. There are nine brothers and sisters in the family, four other girls and four boys. All the family have won many competitions and are famous in national traditional music circles. Whilst at school, Enya studied the piano and classical music. Three of her brothers and sisters formed, together with their uncles, a folk music group (at first with a certain American feel and then more purely Irish, though influenced by jazz and by others such as Pentangle). The group was named Clannad, a contraction of "the family from Gweedore" in Irish. In 1980, at the suggestion of their manager, Fachtna O"Kelly, Enya became a member of the group. She performed with Clannad on many occasions, until, in February 1982, on completing a European tour, she left the group, no one really knowing why. It was also Fachtna O"Kelly who suggested to Enya after she left Clannad, that she devoted herself to composing for films. And so, in 1984, she approached her first important task. Roma Ryan had sent a cassette of Enya to film producer David Puttnam. Puttnam asked her to compose dreamy and romantic music with a sixties feel for the feature film The Frog Prince. Having a studio at her disposal, Enya worked almost always at home with the Roland Juno 60 synthesizer or the Kurzweil sampler, and then added piano and voice. Nicky Ryan recorded everything and helped to put the compositions into their final form. Enya"s first record subsequently climbed to number one in the Irish charts, which started the commercial rise of Enya. She collaborated with the singer Sinéad O"Connor reciting a short text on "Never Get Old" from her album The Lion And The Cobra. She signed with an important multinational, and had a resounding success with her second album Watermark, which has passed 10 million sales worldwide, and has gone platinum in 14 different countries, helped by the single "Orinoco Flow", a No 1 hit in Britain. Then she repeated her world success with Shepherd Moons, which spent an amazing 199 weeks on the Billboard charts in the USA and has sold over 11 million copies. Decide the following statements are true (T) or (F) according to the passage.

判断题Loeh Ness East Scotland and West Scotland are almost like two different countries with two different capitals-Edinburgh on the east coast, and Glasgow, 70 km to the west. Edinburgh is the official capital of Scotland, and many visitors to the east coast go there to see the beautiful buildings. Other visitors go to play golf at St. Andrews, 20 km to the north. Visitors usually go to the west for the beautiful countryside. There are mountains (Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain), hills, forests and rivers. And, of course, the lochs (the Scottish word for lakes). The lochs begin about 30km north of Glasgow with Loch Lomond. This loch is bigger than any other in Scotland, but it is not as famous as Loch Ness, which is near the port of Inverness. Loch Ness is huge: 36 km long and 230 m deep. It is famous because many people believe that a monster lives in it. People first wrote about the monster in AD 565, but modem reports began in 1933, when workers were building a big road next to the loch, and used dynamite. A lot of people saw the monster that year. Perhaps it swam to the surface to see why there was so much noise! In 1957, someone began "The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau", and many people from all over the world have taken photographs of things in the water which they say are the monster. When you see Loch Ness, it is easy to believe in the monster-the water is dark and silent, and there aren"t any flowers or plants on the banks. People say that the monster is ten metres long -or bigger-and has a long neck. Many people believe that the monster is a swimming dinosaur (恐龙) which came into the loch millions of years ago and lives on the bottom of the loch eating the fish which live there. Others believe that the story is only a myth to bring tourists to this beautiful part of the world. Statements:

判断题Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent. Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
