Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland,the Netherlands.Unlike most of the Netherlands,Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam,it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests.They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people,Hilversum is all about textile(紡織) and media industries,and modern architecture.

In history,Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming,sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(別墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers,currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.

The change to a media economy started in 1920,when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands,and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.

In the early 1900s,modern architects W.M. Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces(杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics.His masterpiece,Hilversum Town Hall was built in 1928-1931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”.Actually,one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.

On Jan 15th, 2015, Justin Valdez, a college student, was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video(監(jiān)控錄像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.

We may see the same scene everywhere in our life: in subway stations, restaurants, elevators and so on, people are watching their cell phones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend, people couldn’t stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones, ignoring the persons in front completely. Phubbing(低頭癥) not only involves young people, but also the elderly and kids.

“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone’’ and “snub(冷落)”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously, the indifference(冷漠) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows: “stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect others.”

Phubbing appears harmless. However, it does influence our life. Jimmy, an epicure(美食家), wrote in his blog: “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops as a result.”

Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.

1.The case of Justin Valdez is given in the first paragraph to show

A. gun violence happens easily in the US

B. phubbing may lead to terrible disasters

C. the killer didn’t mean to kill him

D. the killer had made a careful plan

2.Jimmy’s words suggest that

A. phubbing is actually harmless

B. phubbing stops people enjoying their life

C. phubbing affects people’s eating habits the most

D. phubbing helps people improve their photographic skills

3.What is the text mainly about?

A. How the word “phubbing” came into being.

B. The popular campaign of stop phubbing.

C. The meaning of the word “phubbing”.

D. The great harm of phubbing.

Following the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge,Australia plans to build a new landmark—a Chinese theme park,including a full-sized replica(復(fù)制品)of the gates to Beijing’s Forbidden City.The plan,which will cost ￡330 million,has been passed by the local government.This big park is to be built in Wyong Shire,about 50 miles north of Sydney.

The local mayor,Doug Eaton,said the park,to be finished in 2020,was built to become one of the country’s main tourist attractions.“What this park will do is to turn Wyong into a tourist destination and bring millions of money into the area.”The government has agreed to sell the land to the Australian Chinese Theme Park Pty Ltd,the personal company behind the project.The big project will begin with the building of the Forbidden City gates in 2015.

Besides a full-sized replica of the gates to Beijing’s Forbidden City,the park will also have a huge temple with a giant Buddha(佛)and a mini-city looking like Chinese water towns.There is also a part in the building style of the Tang and Song dynasties and another in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.It will feature a 1,000-seat theatre,restaurants,a royal villa(皇家別墅),and a children’s part built for pandas,which won’t have any pandas.

“It’s going to be a special $500 million tourist attraction,engaging more than a thousand people to work for it and bringing fast development to Wyong,”said Bruce Zhong,chairman of the ACTP.The project is designed to create a big Chinese tourist market.Experiences in many countries have shown that the more one attracts Chinese tourists,the more money one would make.For example,more than 400,000 Chinese tourists visit the state of New South Wales each year.

1.What is Doug Eaton’s attitude to the Chinese theme park?

A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.

C.Negative. D.Disappointed.

2.From the passage,we can learn that .

閱讀理解。

In ancient Egypt,a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略).

One tactic involves where to display the goods.For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section.They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip.In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妝品) section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe,bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides,businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping,so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods,too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played,sales of French wines went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses,businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door,and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house,the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

A.To save customers time.

B.To show they are high quality foods.

C.To help sell junk food.

D.To sell them at discount prices.

2.According to Paragraph 3,which of the following encourages customers to buy?

A.Opening the store early in the morning.

B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.

C.Inviting customers to play music.

D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.

C.An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

D.A good first impression increases sales.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.

C.To report researches on customer behavior.

D.To show dishonest business practices.
