  Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo(圆顶雪屋). Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

  In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation(作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

  Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

  After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing(轻松的) hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

  The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only ten rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Berqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at a time.”

1.Bergqvist designed and built the world's first igloo hotel because ________.

[  ]

A.he believed people would enjoy trying something new

B.he wanted to make a name for the small town

C.an art exhibition was about to open

D.more hotel rooms were needed

  The USA is a land of immigrants.Between 1815 and 1914, the world saw the great peaceful migration in its history:35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America.Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?

  First, one major cause of the departure among European peasants was the rise in population which in turn led to hunger.Another was politics.Many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.

  Physical hunger provided another pressing reason.Following the failure of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to make a new start in America.

  Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.

  In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons.As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.

  But what were the attractions?First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe.Next, factories were calling out for labour, and pay and conditions were much better than back home.Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and settlers were needed to populate new towns and develop commerce.There was the space for religious communities to practice their faith in peace.

  As we know, there were losers.To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour.Nor should we forget the equally awful fate of the American Indians.By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a only 488000 free blacks.

  Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.As always, it remains an attractive place to the ambitious and the energetic who are ready to commit themselves to the land that gives them a second chance.

(1)

What is not given as a reason for emigration in the passage?

[  ]

[  ]

(3)

[  ]

A.

The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.

B.

The USA is a land of immigrants.

C.

Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.

D.

About one-eighth of non-native born Americans live in the USA in 1890.

(4)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中由两项为多余选项。

  Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the USA or Australia.They also want their children to take extra courses or activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.  1   So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education.  2  

  However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.

  Parents can see that their children's skills vary.Some children are skilled in some areas while poor in others.  3  

  The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but not teaching them the most important skills:they need to be confident, happy and clever.

  Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.

  Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.  4   It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.

  Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest.he will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up.  5   And that is more important.

A.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

B.These activities are teaching a child not only to read a book, but also to think, to use his mind.

C.What most parents fail to realize, though, is that today's children lack self-respect and self-confidence.

D.Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.

E.The more cost in education, the better the result will be.

F.Cooking demands patience and time.
