  One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

  Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country.They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

  There are many different types of beer available in pubs.Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature.As a result, the British are famous for their“warm beer”! If you prefer a cold beer, ask for lager.This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown.All beers are served as pints(500 ml)or halves(250 ml).To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer.So, you could say “________.”

  Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.

  It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol.Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks.You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.

  If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your “round”.This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group.Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

  So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”

  Nowadays, everyone tends to use EZ link card for transportation.

  Normally, when you get on board the bus, you flash your EZ link card and move in and when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus).We all know that if we forget to flash the card, full fare will be deducted(扣除)from the card.

  Below is something not known to public:

  If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card, the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare, thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances.For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East)and decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered.If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver, a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×$1.90=$3.80)instead of one fare.This is useful information.

  Here’s the solution:

  Go to the “big” machine(i.e.machine for you to top up the card)located at the MRT stations.

  1)Insert your EZ link card

  2)Press the function key “Check card”

  3)Press “more”

  The above function will show you Information of the last 20 transactions(交易)on the screen.Please pass this e-mail to people you know so that they will not pay extra charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets

  Last but not least, call the hotline:1800 767 4333 when the incorrect fares are deducted.

1.If a passenger had flashed his EZ card twice in one bus ride and it later showed that he had paid twice as much as he actually should, it suggested that _________.

(Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________

2.Why does the author ask readers to pass on this e-mail to their friends?(Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________

3.What’s the best titles of this passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________

4.What does the underlined words “top up” mean?(Please answer within ten words.)

  One of New York’s most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger.The New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, many have to close its doors.

  The library is a very special place.Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on.Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large.The roof of the main reading-room is fifty-one feet high.Here, a reader can sit and think and work in comfort.

  And what books are there to work with?The library has over thirty million books and paintings.It owns one of the first copies of a play by Shakespeare, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.

  Every New Yorker can see and use the library’s riches-free.

  But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library hasn’t enough money to continue its work.In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays.Now it is closed at those times, to save money.

  The library is trying every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs.Well-known New York writers and artists are trying to help.So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City and New York State.But the problem remains serious.

  Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said, “The Public Library is the most important building in New York City-it contains all our knowledge.”

  Anger and bitterness may affect your health.According to research, forgiveness may help you keep healthy, both physically and mentally.

  Forgiveness-giving up anger toward another-can greatly reduce your body's anger and stress responses, which affect your mental and physical health.Research conducted by the University of Michigan's institute for Social Research has showed that people who forgive themselves and others experience reduced feelings of restlessness, nervousness and hopelessness.Other researches have found forgiveness can also lower blood pressure and heart rates.

  “Stress exacerbates pain, tightens muscles and interferes with the smooth running of the immune(免疫)system.” says Fred Luskin, director of the Forgiveness Project at Stanford University, “People think they have this unlimited storage of anger that will never do harm to their health, but they are quite wrong.”

  And good news:You don't have to be Gandhi to forgive others or ask for forgiveness.“Forgiveness is a teachable skill, which you can learn it just like you learn to play the piano,” says Luskin.

  Remember these tips when learning to forgive:

  Commit yourself.Do whatever you have to do to feel better.Forgiveness is for you, not ________.

  Get perspective.Recognize that your primary distress comes from the hurt feelings and physical upset you suffer now, not what offended or hurt you two minutes or 10 years ago.

  Meet positive goals.Instead of mentally replaying your hurt, seek a new and positive future.

  Live well.Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge.Stop focusing on wounded feelings-that gives the person who caused your pain power over you.Instead, look for love, beauty and kindness around you.

1.What's the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 8 words.)

2.List three feelings that forgiveness can reduce based on the text.(Please answer within 9 words.)

①_____________

②_____________

③_____________

3.Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 6 words.)

4.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

Keep in mind that living a good life is of vital significance.

5.Translate the underlined sectence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.
