Café en Seine The wildly luxury (奢華) new art style of this huge bar has been a huge hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners.Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar. Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service Address: 40 Dawson St Transport: all city centre Phone: 01 677 4369 |
Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s) The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch (艙口) so that they could drink on the job – therefore the pub’s nickname.Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years.In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers bathing in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town.An absolute classic. Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin Transport: 13 from city centre Phone: 830 7978 |
Davy Byrne’s James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognize the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses.It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd. Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV Address: 21 Duke St Transport: all city centre Website: www.davybyrnes.com Phone: 01 677 5217 |

Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打車軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.
On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.
It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.
Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.
Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.
Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.
1.Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?
A. Because they wanted the government to increase their driving allowances.
B. Because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps.
C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government.
D. Because they wanted to call on passengers not to hire the private cars.
2.The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.
A. positive B. negative
C. neutral D. unclear
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The problem mentioned in the passage exists in all cities
B. App-based car rental is helpful in some sense
C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market
D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company
4.From the passage we learn ___________.
A. Shenyang banned apps-based car rental companies
B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche
C. some international investment companies have faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies
D. it is easy to describe the apps-based car rental companies illegal

Migrants to the UK are to be quizzed about their English skills before being able to claim income-related benefits, the government has announced.
In a move to "protect the integrity(完整性)of the benefits system", people will also be asked what efforts they have made to find work before coming to Britain. Work and Pensions Secretary Duncan Smith said people should not be able to "take advantage" of British benefits. Job centres in England, Scotland and Wales will use the "more mighty" test. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said the test would ensure "only migrants who have a legal right to be in Britain and plan to contribute to this country can make a claim for benefits".
"For the first time, migrants will be quizzed about what efforts they have made to find work before coming to the UK and whether their English language skills will be a barrier to them finding employment," the DWP said in a statement.
Income-related benefits include council tax benefit, housing benefit, income-based jobseeker's allowance and pension credit.
Mr. Duncan Smith said British people were "rightly concerned" that migrants should contribute to the economy and should not be "drawn here by the attractiveness of our benefits system".
"It is vitally important that we have strict rules in place to protect the integrity of our benefits system," he said. He said the new test would help create a fair system which provided for "genuine" workers and jobseekers but "does not allow people to come to our country and take advantage".
To claim the benefits, migrants will have to pass a "habitual residence test" including more than 100 extra questions compared to now. This will be overseen by an "intelligent IT system" which will ensure questions are "tailored to each individual claimant".
Migrants will be allowed to claim benefits if they can prove they are legally allowed to be in Britain and are "habitually resident" of the country. As part of this they might be questioned about what measures they have taken to "establish" themselves in Britain and what ties they still have abroad.
"They will also have to provide more evidence that they are doing everything they can to find a job," the DWP said.
1.What does the British government use the test for?
A. promoting the English skills of migrants.
B. making efforts to help migrants find work.
C. protecting the rights of migrants.
D. ensuring the British benefit claimed legally by migrants .
2.What do we know about the test?
A. All British residents must be quizzed about their English skills.
B. The test will ask migrants whether they are willing to work in Britain.
C. The test is an act to protect British benefits system.
D. The test will help the government dismiss jobseekers.
3.What does the underlined word “claimant “(in para.7) probably mean in the text?
A. a person who applies B. a person who is badly off
C. a person who migrates D. a person who is quizzed
4.What does the passage mainly want to inform us?
A. All migrants can claim benefits from the UK.
B. Income-related benefits can be a great help to migrants.
C. All migrants come to the UK only to claim benefits.
D. Migrants are to pass a test to get the benefits from the UK.

Once I suddenly found my longtime 3. (use) umbrella “disappeared”. I really got lost and regretted quite some time 4. my own carelessness.
Several days later, out of my 5. (expect), I saw it quietly stand in a corner of the house where I worked. I was extremely glad to regain it. Looking carefully at it, though it was so familiar 6. me, I found for the first time its wooden handle 7. (wear)out as a result of repeated rain-wash for years. I sought for it only when I needed it. It occurred to me that I should have paid 8. (much) attention to it.
It sets me thinking. Around us there are always people giving us support in silence just like
