I fell in love with England because it was quaint （古雅）— all those little houses, looking terri??bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man??ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man??ners — people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans??port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

56. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.

       A. is not used to the life there now

       B. has lived there for seventeen years

       C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

       D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

57. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

       A. In a cafe.         B. In a restaurant.        C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.

58. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______.

       A. a taxi       B. the money        C. a bomb     D. public transport

59. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.

A. felt lonely in England              B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family     D. didn't like the British idea of family

Two graduates from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom found themselves about to graduate, yet with loans to pay off. The pair decided to begin a strange, year-long project to battle their debt.
The men, Ross Harper and Ed Moyse, set up the site BuyMyFace.co.uk. last October as a way to get rid of the $80,000 they shared as student loans. The idea behind the project was to earn money by selling their faces as advertising space every day for a year. Each day, they advertise a different business on their site by painting the brand's logo or name on their faces and including a link to the company’s site. After they paint their faces and publish them on the site, Harper and Moyse go out to highly populated areas such as music festivals and theme parks to maximize their faces’ exposure.
At this time, Harper and Moyse have advertised their faces for over four months without skipping a day and they're more than halfway to their goal. Though they first started charging a minimum of about USD $1.60 per company, the prices have risen as their popularity increased. For advertising space during the remainder of April, they range between USD $250 and $750. 
Terri L. Rittenburg, associate professor of marketing at the University of Wyoming, said she had heard of people tattooing (紋身) logos on themselves before, but this idea is much better. According to her, at first the idea would be new and novel and attract attention, but she is unsure how long it would last.
At least for now, companies that have bought Harper and Moyse’s faces have written positive comments on the pair’s website. “We had a three percent increase in website traffic on the very day and for two days more afterwards,” said an alcoholic beverage company.
【小題1】Which of the following was most possibly taken from the website BuyMyFace.co.uk.?

A．B．C．D．
【小題2】 Harper and Moyse go to highly populated areas to _____.
A．have funB．make friendsC．show their facesD．find new customers
【小題3】We can infer from the article that the two men _____.
A．must have earned more than $40,000
B．a(chǎn)ren’t getting on well with their project
C．may close their site next month
D．a(chǎn)lways work hard except on holidays
