I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn’t far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn’t used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal one had a conference in it so was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full.
I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn’t have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time the coach had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don’t know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn’t me.

Schools told: Give students test scores in private（原创）
BEIJING, Sep. 29，2021 --- Chinese students long accustomed to being publicly praised or rebuked（vt.斥责, 指责）over their test scores will soon be able to celebrate their intelligence or hide their shame in private.
Starting from September, primary and junior middle school teachers nationwide will not be allowed to say students' test results in front of their classmates or rank students based on their results, according to a notice issued by the Ministry of Education on Sunday.
The ministry said the ban aims to reduce pressure placed on early grade children by pushy parents and teachers, and prevent student depression.
Chinese teachers, who usually see test scores as the best indicator of talent, often praise those who perform well and frown upon those who lag behind during the decades-old ritual of handing out test papers in class.
The notice also bars local education authorities from setting up "key schools" or "key classes within a school", which are given higher funding levels and are assigned the best teachers and students.
"Public education resources should not be concentrated on building or supporting a few model schools," the notice says. "And resources within a school need to be allocated in a balanced manner."
The measures would not be applicable to high schools, where students lead the most rigid and stifled life as they prepare for the fiercely competitive college entrance exam, according to the ministry.
The notice received a warm welcome from the public. More than half of the1,500 comments left by netizens（网民） on , one of the biggest Chinese news websites, said the measures are encouraging.
Sun Min, mother of an 8-year-old girl in Nanjing, East China's Jiangsu Province, said she applauds the ban as children should not be regarded as "good" or "bad" based on their scores. "It's a kind of discrimination," she said. Lou Guaiguai, a 14-year-old Beijing girl, said she is happy that she does not have to endure the nervous moment when teachers hand out exam papers. However, some parents worry that they might not know how their children perform at school without the ranking.
The public also question whether the ministry's policies can be enforced in local schools. An anonymous comment on Sina argued that it is impossible for Chinese students to enjoy a happy childhood unless the highly competitive college entrance exam is abolished. "Our children are suffering from an exam-oriented education," the comment said.
59．The main purpose to give students test scores in private is _________.
A．to celebrate their intelligence in private
B．to seek to prevent student depression

D．most of the people are for the measures
62．The passage is probably written for .
A．university students B．science researchers

In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister city relationship.
The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin towns in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan country!
Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skills, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.

Are you paying a son or daughter a few dollars a week for taking out the garbage or making the bed? Get real, Mom and Dad.
Today’s US teenagers who get an allowance(零用钱) at all usually get US$50 a week for movies, music and junk food.
A national study published recently by Ohio State University found that half of the teens asked got no “monetary transfers(转让)” at all. The study included an amount handed out regularly, occasional spending money or gifts. Of those who got regular allowances, some reported getting more than US$200 a week. The US$50 figure is the median(中等数).
That translates into about US$1.05 billion available for spending each week by 9.8 million US teenagers, the researchers concluded.
The study is part of the National Longitudinal(纵向的) Survey of Youth, a federally funded 1997 survey of 8,984 randomly(随意地) chosen young people aged 12 to 18.
Teens in households with annual earnings of less than US$20,000 receive US$12 to US $14 a week, compared with US$175 for teens in households where incomes top US$100,000 .
The more children in a family, the smaller the allowance, the study found. Cara Banbury, 15, said her parents give her about US$20 weekly for movies
and food, but it’s not enough.
“I feel like I need more because it’s more expensive to do things now,”she said. “They don’t understand that.”
67. The 1997 national study ________.
A.surveyed a total of 12~18-year-olds
B.collected information from 8,984 teenagers
C.was paid for by parents
D.specially chose young people aged 12 and 18
68. Researchers reported that about half of the children surveyed ________.
A.didn’t get weekly allowance
B.often gave away money
C.received about US$175 a week
D.had never hear of “monetary transfers”
69. According to the passage, some parents _________.
A.hate to take out the garbage
B.earn few bucks by making the beds
C.give their children less than US$12 a week
D.regularly give their children US$200 a week
70. Cara Banbury, 15, said that _________.
$20 was too much to spend at the movies
B.her parents had a lot of expenses
C.she needed an increase in her allowance
D.her parents didn’t understand her

It is always hard for a small fish to live in a big pond. Pluto’s recent departure from the classical planet family clearly proves that size really matters.
Astronomers voted on August 24 to create the first scientific definition of the word “planet”, and Pluto obviously didn’t make the cut. It turned out to be only a “dwarf planet(矮行星)”.
After weeks of heated debate, over 2,500 astronomers from 75 countries voted on the definition of a “planet” at a conference of the International
Astronomical Union(IAU). According to the definition, a planet must have a clear neighbourhood around its orbit. Pluto has widely been considered a planet since its discovery in 1930. Unfortunately, it has a special orbit which overlaps with Neptune’s. It is all because, compared with Neptune, Pluto is very small. It is attracted by Neptune’s gravity when the two planets get closer.
According to IAU, a “dwarf planet” should have an orbit around the Sun. It will not have a clear neighborhood around its orbit, and must not be a satellite. The new classification means that the science textbooks will have to be updated.
The solar system is now made up of the eight “classical planets,” together with a number of dwarf planets. The classical planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The debate over Pluto’s status started in 1992. After an advanced telescope was sent into space, astronomers started to find a belt of objects, wich lies beyond Neptune. The belt contains nearly 1,000 objects, including Pluto. As they continued the exploration, scientists recently discovered at least 41 dwarf planets at the edges of the solar system. There are at least two objects of a similar size to Pluto.
It seems that even if the IAU had kept Pluto’s status as a planet, the classical theory of nine planets in the solar system would have had to be changed, but the other way around. More dwarf planets of a similar size to Pluto would join the family of planets. Scientists will probably find many more dwarf planets.
71. The main purpose of the text is to ________.
A.prove to the readers that size matters
B.tell readers about a big change of the planets
C.explain the classical theory of planets
rm us of science textbooks being updated
72. We can infer from the text that _________.
A.eight planets make up the solar system
B.it has been hard for scientists to define a “planet”
C.Mars is very hot and you can’t go near it
D.Pluto shares the same orbit with Neptune
73. Scientists argued about Pluto’s status for a long time because ________.
A.Pluto was first discovered in 1930
B.the family of planets is too big
C.Pluto is located beyond Neptune
D.many dwarf planets, like Pluto, were found
74. The reason for Pluto’s departure is that ________.
A.Pluto does not fit the definition of a “planet”
B.Pluto cannot compete with other planets
C.Pluto is attracted by Neptune’s gravity
D.other objects of its size have been discovered
75. The best title of the text is ________.
A.An Unexpected Result
B.Eight Planets
C.Goodbye Pluto
D.New Scientific Definition
