One of beer’s most important ingredients（成分）is water. If water becomes limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater.‎ They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer.‎ That is why Stone Beer Company, near San Diego‎, ‎California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the city’s water by 2035.‎ Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from wastewater. Wastewater is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets.‎ Stone is a large beer factory. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded people's reactions as they tasted the beer.‎ Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success.‎ The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.‎ ‎21.Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?‎ A.To try new sources of water.‎ B.To make special taste for beer.‎ C.To reduce the cost of production.‎ D.To give up pure water in production.‎ ‎22.What did Stone Beer Company want Pure Water San Diego to do?‎ A.Help it to develop new kind of beer.‎ B.Supply the majority of water to the city.‎ C.Make waste water clean enough to make beer.‎ D.Deal with its waste water from the beer production process.‎ ‎23.What do we know about the special beer “Full Circle Pale Ale”?‎ A.It was welcomed by the public.‎ B.Few people dared to taste it.‎ C.It will be sold in large quantities.‎ D.It received great attention from the media.‎ ‎24.What did Stone Beer Company think of the reports about the beer?‎ A.They are satisfying. B.They are disappointing.‎ C.They are surprising. D.They are beneficial.‎ B I started reading Shakespeare when I was nine, after my grandfather, an actor, sent me a copy of Romeo and Juliet. The story and the language attracted me. I found out about Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ)and started volunteering for them when I was about 10. When I was 13, I managed to run a film project with SGCNZ.‎ I'm home-educated and a part-time correspondence student(函授生)as well. We have a drama group made up of quite a few people who are also home-educated .I've also joined Wellington Young Actors, a youth theatre company. There are many similarities and differences between being home-educated and attending a five-day programme. I love hearing other students' reactions when meeting them and share my different ways of experiencing the world with them. While explaining the way I learn can be a challenge, I love helping people to understand there isn't just one way of learning.‎ Being home-educated has offered me the freedom to have an individualized education and to pursue my passions. My education has always been about making those focuses but I do lots of the same things as people who attend five-day programs do. Shakespeare is a great approach to lots of things around English,history and the arts. I think something you learn when you perform is connection. You have to have a connection with your fellow actors, with the audience and with Shakespeare. I learn this from actually being on stage and from taking part in different Shakespeare festival programs.‎ I believe it's the emotion in Shakespeare that makes it relevant today. You can be ‎ reading something that was written 400 years ago and be able to see parts of your life in the work as it shows you how to understand the world and explore a lot of different ideas.‎ ‎25.What can “a five-day program” be?‎ A.A film project. B.A reading activity.‎ C.School education. D.Stage performance.‎ ‎26.Why does the author choose home education?‎ A.To be different from others. ‎ B.To better focus on his passions.‎ C.To enjoy more personal freedom. ‎ D.To improve his academic performance.‎ ‎27.What do we know about the author?‎ A.A famous young actor. B.A loyal program volunteer.‎ C.A home education writer. D.A devoted Shakespeare-lover.‎ C A Chinese saying goes: Women can hold up half of the sky. Similarly, a large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in Germany.‎ ‎“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men's world，” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.‎ Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women's Liberation(解放)”．‎ ‎“I don't wish that I were a man，” she says. “And I don't think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you're a man, you have a much better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there... or engineers or scientists？”‎ ‎28.A lot of women in ________ wish that they were born men.‎ A.European countries B.Asia C.West Europe D.USA ‎29.“It is still men's world.” means “________”．‎ A.

Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.‎ Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it：“Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently：“Take this to the butcher（* person whose job is selling meat）and he's going to give you your lunch today.”‎ Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.‎ At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.‎ The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers（*people who ‎ buy sth. from a shop）.‎ But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled . He said to himself, “This is a small dog.

We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be ourselves. 36 . We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us — at least for a few weeks each year — and just have fun.
