      China's "Little People's Kingdom"is a theme park,where little people dance and sing in fairytale
costumes,drawing both curious groups and criticism.The theme park,near Kunming City in Yunnan
Province,employs 108 dwarfs from across the country,who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to
dance and sing for tourists.And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
     The guests can watch shows like comedies,group dance and acrobatics.The show's centerpiece,a
funny performance of Swan Lake,sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be
little swans."The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed.I had never worn a skirt like that before.But later,once I got used to it,I found I could do it very well,"said Chen Ruan,21,from Hunan
Province who joined the park when it opened.
      For many of the employees,the park offers a rare opportunity to find work.As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake,they think that it feels good to live in
dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences.In addition,the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs.Besides,performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a
month,around twice the salary of a high school graduate.
      The founder of the park,Chen Ming,made his fortune by producing electronics and investing,but said
he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community.People,like human right activists for the disabled,think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people.
The only requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life.The youngest employee is 18,and the oldest 48.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale's new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang's move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money,  the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang's move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.
56.Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just         .
A.to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money
B.to pay Yale back for the free education he received
C.to help change the pattern of the one – way assistance
D.to promote the relationship between China and the US
57.What’s the writer’s attitude towards Zhang Lei’s donation to Yale?
A.objective  B.supportive C.opposed    D.unconcerned
58.From the passage, we can see professor Chi Fulin argues that         .
A.more Chinese should be involved in donating money to US
B.the behavior of Zhang Lei is respectable and deserves praise
C.government organizations matter much in exchange programs
D.universities in China should take management more seriously
59.As for Zhang Lei,          .
A.his generosity made him world – famous overnight
B.his company mainly serves the Yale Investments Office
C.Yale shaped his life and taught him the spirit of giving
D.he considers Yale his preference to Renmiu University
60.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Act of Kindness set a record
B.Individual donation makes a difference
C.A new page for Sino – US relationship
D.Donation to Yale caused debate

阅读下面短文,请根据短文的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)  
    In the United States, friends can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a shorttime
if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christ- mas greetings for a year or
two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years
later, they pick up the friendship where it left out and are de- lighted.      
     In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, enjoy their lives without
fear that you are tak ing on a lastinS obligation (负担). Do not hesitate to accept hospi tality (热情款待) because you can't give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans
will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospi tality easily.     
     Once you arrive there, the welcome will be full, warm and re al. Most visitors find themselves readily
invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain (招待) at home,
offering what is felt as only home-cooked food, not " doing something for your guest". It is felt that restaurant
entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, out- siders are not invited into homes.     
      In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to
one's home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationships. So, if your host or hostess___,
do not feel that you are being shown inferior (差的,低级的 ) treatment.     
     Don't feel neglected (被轻视的) if you do not find flowers a- waiting you in your hotel room, either.
Flowers are very expensive there, hotel delivery is uncertain, arrival times are delayed, changed, or canceled
(取消)-so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward
signsvary in different lands, the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.
1. What's the best title of the text? ( Please answer within 5 words. )

2. Which sentence in the text is similar in meaning to the following one?    
    Americans gladly continue their friendships after a chance encounter even if several years have passed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words. ( Please answer within 6 words. )
__________________________________________________________________________________________
4. For what purpose does the writer mention flowers in the last par agraph? ( Please answer within 15 words. ) _________________________________________________________________________________________
