16．Icelanders have a beautiful tradition of giving books to each other on Christmas Eve and then spending the night reading．This custom is so deeply rooted in the culture that it is the reason for Christmas Book Flood，when the majority of books in Iceland are sold between September and December in preparation for Christmas giving．
"Books get attention here．"Says Baldur Bjarnason，a researcher who has written about the Icelandic book industry．
The small Nordic island，with a population of only 329，000 people，is extraordinarily literary（文學(xué)的）．They love to read and write．According to a BBC article，"The country has more writers，more books published and more books read，per head，than anywhere else in the world…One in 10 Icelanders will publish a book．"
It seems there is more value placed on physical，paper books than in North America，where e-books have grown in popularity．One bookstore manager said，"The book in Iceland is such an enormous gift-you give a physical book．You don't give e-books here．"The book industry is driven by the majority of people buying several books each year，rather than the North American pattern of a few people buying lots of books．
It sounds like a wonderful tradition，perfect for a winter evening．It is something that I would love to incorporate （吸收） into my own family's celebration of Christmas．

33．What do Icelanders do on Christmas Eve？A
A．They give books to each other and read books．
B．They buy a lot of books to read．
C．They check the mailboxes and send cards to friends．
D．They get together and sing Christmas songs together．
34．How many people in Iceland can be described as writers？B
A.329，000 B.32，900 C.3，290 D.3，290，000
35．What is the difference between Icelanders and North Americas on buying books？C
A．People in Iceland never buy e-books．
B．People in North America never buy physical books．
C．A few people buy a large number of books in North America．
D．In Iceland，everyone buys a large number of books each year．

7．As an English learner，you want to be able to understand and to discuss a subject．You want to have the ability to express your opinions，and to support that opinion with a clear argument．You can learn these skills by learning how to debate．
In everyday conversation，Americans use the word debate to talk about discussions among people．When people debate，they give their own opinions about a topic．
Another use of the word debate describes a more formal discussion．Debaters work on a team to convince a judge that their opinion about a topic has more value than the opposite side's．
Debate is part of the tradition of forensics started in Ancient Greece．The Greeks thought that，in a democracy，people needed to have certain skills．These skills included speaking in public in favor of an opinion，and providing evidence to support one's opinion．
The Greeks supported the development of these skills by holding contests．Western education today continues the tradition with competitions between debate teams．
Charles LeBeau wrote a book with Michael Lubetsky called"Discover Debate"to help teachers understand a simple way to teach debate．The method depends on creating a kind of visual aid known as a graphic organizer．The visual aid reflects the way we talk about critical thinking and developing an argument．
Students work with the idea of building their argument just like they would build a house．They would draw their house on paper or a whiteboard and list：
•The focus of the discussion or the debate is the roof．
•The reasons and arguments are the"pillars"to support the roof．
•The data，numbers，examples，and expert opinions provide the concrete foundation．
The house approach gives students who have not experienced a debate in their own culture a way to plan what they will say to support their message．
28．You are debating whenC．
A．you have an idea and discuss it with your classmates or friends
B．you are learning a foreign language and discussing a subject
C．you speak in protection of your opinions trying to convince others
D．you express your opinions in a competition before a judge
29．The book"Discover Debate"is intended forA．
A．teachers      
B．debaters    
C．speech competitors    
D．English students
30．What can be inferred from the passage？B
A．Ancient Greeks were fond of debating with opponents．
B．Ancient Greeks made speeches in public to express their ideas．
C．There are debating lessons in all Western schools today．
D．Drawing a house before making a speech helps the speaker a lot．
31．What does the underlined sentence （the last paragraph） suggest？C
A．A house is helpful to planning a speech．
B．The house approach is useful for language learners．
C．It's a good idea for English learners to learn the house approach．
D．Debate is a must for all students in the world．

1．For a 400-year-old art form，opera（歌�。� had a bad fame：overweight actresses singing the words which were hard to understand in one of those romance languages you were supposed to learn in high school．And with tickets costing as much as $145 a performance，opera-goers（常去看京劇的人） also had a certain appearance in people's mind：rich，well-dressed and old．

Opera producers have found that to attract this crowd，they need to make the opera closer to common people．Because young people don't or won't come to the opera，companies are bringing the opera to them，giving performances in such unusual places as parks，libraries and public schools．
