That means that while Italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they don

16、 t usually get very drThat s not true anymore. The new study by the Italian National Health Institute found that 63 percentof Italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. Now, the city of Milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. Anyone who sells or gives alcoho

17、l to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700.Young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the US for some perspective. The UShas the highest drinking age in the world: It illsegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to peop

18、le under the legal age risk losing their licenses.Many young Americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: They are allowed to vote in elections and join the military at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?These young people have found help in an unusual plac

19、e. Last year, more than 100 presidents of US universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. They argued that the law doesn ' t stop underage college kids from getting drunkit just makes them want to drink more.For now, the law seems unlikely to change. But U

20、S teenagers who want alcohol can go north to Canada, where the drinking age is 18-19, or south to Mexico where the legal age is 18. Throughout much of Asia, Africa and Europe, the legal drinking age ranges 16-18.In plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young childre

21、n can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it.No matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. Teenagers in Milan are now learning that their reckless （ 不顧后果的） drinking behavior may come at a high price.31. The new law by the city of Milan .A. aims to keep Italy s s

22、ipping culture aliveB. is welcomed by Italian adult peopleC. has reduced the number of underage youths getting drunkD. forbids selling alcohol to people under 1632. Which of the following places has the lowest drinking age?A. MexicoB. New YorkC. MilanD. Canada33. Many US university presidents want l

24、aridnkD. believe that the law is pushing underage youths toward alcohol instead of stopping them34. We can infer from the passage that .A. Restaurants in the US don t sell alcohol to people under 21 for fear of a $700fineB. In many places shop ow ners don t mind selling alcohol to underage customers

25、C. The author thinks that US teenagers should go to Canada or Mexico to drinkD. Teens in Milan have to pay a lot of money for their reckless drinking behaviorBIf you feel at present that you d on t have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make

26、 time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don gt et around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we

27、already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to hel

28、p you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason why you h av

29、en t been getting together with the people you already know isthat you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy

30、for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never sa y “ No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so,

31、why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your l

32、ife, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.35.

35、ork?C. How to Spend Your Time.D. How to Make New Friends.Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the

36、world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-vo

37、ltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom

38、do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts （ 催化劑 ） for

39、 change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated （隔離的 ） buses, restaur

40、ants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.39. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A. generally possess certain ins

41、piring characteristicsB. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC. are often influenced by previous generationsD. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans40.

42、B. they have warm feelings and emotionsC. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD. they can make people feel stronger and more confident41. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because .A. they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB. their performances do

43、not improve their fans morallyC. their primary concern is their own financial interestsD. they are not clear about the principles they should follow42. The author concludes that historical changes would .A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB. not happen without heroes maki

44、ng the necessary sacrificesC. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleD. produce leaders with attractive personalitiesDWriting articles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job. Before then I had done bits of reviewing novels for other newspapers, films for a magazine and any

45、thing I was asked to do for the radio. That was how I met Tom Seaton, the first arts editor of The Front Page, who had also written for television. He hired me, but Tom was not primarily a journalist, or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff.At first, his idea was that a te

46、am of critics should take care of the art forms that didn ret quire specialized knowledge: books, TV, theatre, film and radio. There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover, though there would also be guests to make t

47、he atmosphere sociable.It all felt like a bit of dream at that time: a new newspaper and I was one of the team. It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market. It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally, and was pretending to employ me. Suc

48、h was my lack of self-confidence.Tom soriginal scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off. It was a good idea, but we didn t get together as planned and so everything was done by phone. It turned out, too, that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a singl

49、e subject area, and so I chose film. Without Tom s initial push, though, we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement, by which I write an extended weekly piece, usually on one film.The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument or forces me, in an uninteresting week, to make som

50、ething out of nothing. But what is my role in the public arena （舞臺(tái)）? I assume that peoplechoose what films to go to on the basis of the stars, the publicity or the director. S o if a film review isn treally a consumer guide, what is it? I certainly don t feel I have a responsibility to beNor do I th

51、ink there should be a certain number of great and bad films each year. All I have toforward an argument. I m not a judge, and nor would I want to be.43. What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph?A. He encouraged the writer to become a writer.B. He met the writer when working for tel

52、evision.C. He had worked in various areas of the media.D. He prefers to employ people that he knows.44. The weekly lunches were planned in order to .A. help the writers get to know each otherB. distribute the work that had to be doneC. provide an informal information sessionD. entertain important vi

53、sitors from the arts45. What does the author mean when he says that Tom s plan never took off in Paragraph 4?A. Tom s plan was unpopular.B. Tom s plan wasted too much time.C. Tom s plan wasn t planned properly.D. Tom s plan wasnput tinto practice.46. Which of the following best describes what the wr

54、iter says about his work?A. He can freely express his opinion.B. He prefers to write about films he likes.C. His success varies from year to year.D. He writes according to accepted rules.EMovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars. But how about movies for p

55、hones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury th

56、en selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.New PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainmentindustry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. Th

57、ey are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think

58、about how many people have mobile phones in the world! New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood.The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However, this could be over
