4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The Holiday Inn hotel is one of the big surprises in Manhattan. B. Businessmen like to be recognized by the people and suggested what to eat. C. The couples like to be left alone. D. One of the reasons why people like to eat in the hotel is that it is full of a friendly atmosphere. B Any mistake made in the printing of stamp raises its valueto stamp collectors. A mistake on a two - pennystamp has made it worth million and a half times its face value. Do you think it impossible? Well, it is true. And this is how it happened. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an orderfor stamps was sent to London. Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps. Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the Commander - in - chief of all the armed forces on the island. The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. Stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office instead of “Post Paid , two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed. Today, there are only twenty - six of these misprinted stamps left- fourteen One penny Reds and twelve Two -penny Blues. Because there are so few Two - penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16, 800 for one of them. 查看更多

Reading Comprehension

Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

  Today, the world is rapidly urbanizing.With half of the world population expected to live in cities by the early part of the 21st century, the Shanghai 2010 World Expo's focus on a better city bears profound meaning.

  What might future cities look like 28 years from now? Here are some scenarios:things to come, things to go.

  Zero waste

  Waste disposal is one of the biggest headaches for cities.Apart from recyclable waste, everything is buried or incinerated, only to pollute the environment.Plastic waste remains underground for several decades.The world produces much more garbage that it can dispose of.

  Now at the Expo, all waste is delivered to a compression station where the waste is sorted, filtered, decontaminated, deodorized and compressed before finally being disposed of at designated spots.In Beijing, people living in the Asuwei area turn their household waste into organic fertilizers which are used to grow plants at residence communities.

  No more transportation problems during Spring Festival

  The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese.More than 2 billion people travel at the same time, making obtaining travel tickets and the journey difficult.

  But in 28 years.Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all.China plans to have more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a rapid transportation network that will serve 90 percent of the population by 2020.And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so migration will no longer be so large-scale.

  Oil to run out

Do you love the holidays, but hate gaining weight? You are not alone. Holidays are times for  celebrating. Many people are worried about their weight. With proper planning, though, it is possible to keep normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don’t have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.
Here are some tips for preventing(阻止) weight gain and maintaining(维持) physical fitness:   
Don’t skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This may help to avoid getting too excited before delicious foods.
Control the amount of food. Use a small plate (about 10 inches) and put aside the large ones that may encourage you to "load up". You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist.
Begin with soup and fruit or vegetables. Fill up beforehand on water-based soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Or drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you to feel full.
Stick to physical activity. Don’t let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk help to burn off excess calories.
Avoid(避免) high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have large amount of fat. Choose lean meat (瘦肉).Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. Use lemon juice instead of creamy food.
