11．The pace of today's working life blurs （使模糊） the line between personal time and work time，and it increasingly mixes one's personal lifestyle and work style．And as companies are trying hard to attract and keep young people for their technical skills and enthusiasm for change，office culture is becoming an extension of youth culture．This may be no bad thing．For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled，but in the future，they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths．
There have been a number of reasons for this change and the most dramatic of these is technology．Children have always been more expert than their parents at something，but usually a game or a fashion，not the century's most important business tool．The Internet has started the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the young．Though there have been youth revolutions before，none of them made a big change the way the Internet has．Throughout the 20th century，if a young person wanted to enter an American company，they needed to leave their youth behind．They got a haircut，and probably a suit or at least a tie．Now the same hair，same clothes，even nearly the same hours apply to office and home．
Had it not been for the Internet，this change could not have happened．However，it did not happen because of the Internet only； the corporate restructurings （公司重組） of the 1980s and 1990s broke down traditional hierarchies （等級制度）．In many companies，seniority-based （基于資歷的） hierarchies have been replaced by hierarchies based on performance．The abilities to please your superiors are no longer the most valued skills．Today's employees stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded； moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition．
The rise of the young is a good thing，because it gives them more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice at their most creative stage in life．Nowadays youth and youth qualities seem to dominate，but the experience and maturity of older employees should be put to good use，too．

32．A company tries to attract young people for theirD．
A．office culture 
B．modern lifestyle
C．changing attitude 
D．technical abilities
33．In the 20th century，to enter an American company，a young person needed toC．
A．work in the office and at home 
B．have an eye-catching hairstyle
C．dress in the business style 
D．leave the business tool behind
34．Why is the rise of the young a good thing？C
A．They become more energetic in life．
B．They have taken over the companies．
C．Their creativity can be put to good use．
D．Their ideas appeal to a great many people．
35．What can be inferred from the passage？B
A．Young people will lead in fashion．
B．Young people will have more power．
C．Older people will step off the historical stage．
D．Older people will continue to be the main force．

6．All of England
In fact，literary landmarks are so common in London that"blue plaques（木牌）"have been introduced to show off well-known literary sites．One of the more interesting plaques can be found at 221B Baker Street-the apartment of famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes（although we can be pretty sure that he never actually stayed there）．
Outside of London，it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up．If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour，you'll have the unique opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes．But to truly experience literature in person，you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon，the birthplace of William Shakespeare，and watch nightly performances of his plays．
Shanghai，China
Shanghai is a really charming city，where-underneath the surface of the city-one can find some real literary treasures．One star of Shanghai literature is Lu Xun，a writer often celebrated as the father of modern Chinese literature，who spent his last nine years in the city．It's necessary，then，for all Shanghai literary travelers to visit Lu Xun Park，which features a memorial hall dedicated to the great writer．
Another place worth visiting is the old neighborhood of poet Xu Zhimo．Xu is well known for bringing"New Wave"romanticist poetry into Chinese works．Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once stayed at his home while visiting Shanghai．
Rome，Italy
The English romantic poet John Keats once traveled to Rome in the hope that the Mediterranean air would cure his tuberculosis（肺結(jié)核）．It didn't，and Keats died within three months．
Despite the fact that Keats'visit was a quick one，Rome has a reminder of it-the Keats-Shelley House．Keats'former home has been transformed into a small museum，complete with a working library．
What's more，just across the street is the Antico Caffe Greco，a cafe frequented by famous authors like Charles Dickens，Load Byron，Henry James，Hans Christian Andersen，Mary Shelley…We could go on，but you probably get the idea that this is somewhere any literary traveler has to go．

24．This passage is mainly aboutD in different places．
A．cultural introduction                
B．famous poets
C．scenic spots

La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August，the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight．A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events．The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd．
The battle lasts little more than half an hour，in which time around 50，000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves，runs，or fights back．Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!
Melbourne Food and Wine Festival
Australia's cultural capital has hosted this 20 years，a showcase of the continent's culinary（烹調(diào)用的）mastery through cooking demonstrations，special tours and food tastings throughout the city．Meet celebrity chefs and artisan food crafters，go to gals dinners and discover Down Under's most fantastic flavors

9．Dear Betty，
My roommate's family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home．I accepted the invitation，and I'm excited about going，but I'm a little nervous about it，too．The social customs in my country are different from those here，so I'm a little worried about making mistakes．
Should I bring a gift，such as candy or flowers？Should I arrive on time or a little late？At the dinner table，how can I know which fork or knife to use？How can I let the family know that I'm thankful for their kindness？
Yours，
Knowing NothingDear Knowing Nothing，
It's a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party．Flowers are always welcome，or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it．
You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late．Don't get there early．If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late，you should call and tell them．
Try to relax at the dinner table．If you don't know how to use the right fork，knife or spoon，just watch the other guests，and follow them．If you still have no idea of what to do，don't be shy about asking the person next to you； it's better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous．
If you like the food，say so．Of course，you'll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness．It's also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after．
Yours，
Betty21．Knowing Nothing wrote a letter to Betty toD．
A．tell Betty some good news
B．invite her to dinner

A．can only bring some flowers
B．should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late
