（B）
People in South Kor ea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.
In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense, a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea. Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”—a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in
60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily aske d to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didn’t know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldn’t control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).
The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time
alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.
According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).
Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people weren’t able to t ake more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also of fers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.
24．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us .
A．where “Prison Inside Me” is loca ted B．what people can do in “Prison Inside Me” C．how “Prison Inside Me” came into being D．when “Prison Inside Me” was completed
25．Which of the statements is true?
A．people in South Korea prefer living under great pressure
B．Mr. Kwon had intended to let guests stay at “Prison Inside Me” for over two days
C．most people in South Korea can not afford to stay at “Prison Inside Me” D．the 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them
26．We can know from the passage that . A．many people have been kept in such a prison at least three times B．it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselves C．people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is small D．some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions weren’t poor enough
27．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Many South Koreans voluntarily go to “prison” to reduce stress. B．Many South Koreans can hardly bear the stress of daily life. C．South Koreans should spend more time alone thinking about life.
D．South Koreans have found the best way to deal with everyday pressure.
（C）
Competitive eating has become big business. The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for competitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row.
The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the competitors are men, but there are also women who take part in competitive eating.
Being large and overweight isn’t necessarily an advantage in competitive eating. The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed.
The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding competitive eating. Competitions must take place in a controlled area and only competitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of competitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talked about that with the Olympic committee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present.
28．Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest .
A．has a history of over 200 years B．takes place once a year in Japan C．is becoming less popular than before D．has made Takeru Kobayashi famous
29．What do we know about eating contests? A．Fast food is the only type of food. B．They usually last ten minutes or so. C．Only men are allowed to enter a contest. D．They are open to competitors of all ages.
30．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．How to win an eating contest. B．The history of competitive eating. C．Safety guidelines from the IFOCE. D．The disadvantages of eating too much.
31．What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To report. B．To advertise. C．To introduce. D．To warn.
（D）
A supermarket checkout assistant was praised as striking a blow for (拥护)modern manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone.
Sainbury’s was forced to apologize to the customer who complained when she was told
her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up. Jo Clark, 26, said, “I don’t know what she was playing at. I couldn’t believe how rude
sh e was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout etiquette (礼节)? I won’t be shopping there
again.
But users of social media sites and Internet forums were very angry that the store gave in and the public appeared to be rallying (支持) behind the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on the folk around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road and pavement users and especially people behind you on the stairs,” wa s a typical post.
“It’s about time checkout staff fought back at these people incessantly chattering on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. It’s rude and annoying. I often want to grab someone’s phone and throw it as far as I can, and I am not even a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another.
WillNorman of The Young Foundation said that the majority of people still valued good manners very highly, despite growing pressures from work, mobility and technology. “Being civil to each other is part o f the oil which makes communities work. In our research taxi drivers and shop workers described being invisible which is fine as a one-off but day after day it makes people feel undervalued and undermined. It is quite simply rude,” he said. “New rules and codes of conduct take a while to develop and we are still in a development phase for mobile phones,” he added.
Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site said, “While clearly this checkout operator doesn’t have the authority to order customer s to switch off the phone, you can see why she felt so frustrated. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”
32．According to Jo Clark, the checkout assistant .
A．lacked the knowledge of checkout manners B．played with a mobile phone while at work C．deserved praise for her modern manners
D．had no right to forbid her to use her mobile phone
33．Paragraphs 3 and 4 imply that the public . A．are used to chatting on their mobile phones
B．are driven crazy by constant mobile calls C．seemed to support the checkout assistant D．ignored the existence of mobile phone users
34．WillNorman seems to support the idea that . A．people are confused about what good manners are B．technology makes people feel undervalued
C．the use of mobile phones should be reduced
D．good mobile phone manners are still developing
35．The passage is mainly about . A．how we talk on mobile phones while shopping B．what good manners mobile phone users should have
C．when we can develop new rules for mobile phone users
D．whether it is rude to talk on your mobile phone while shopping

The radio club in our school wa s started two years before. One day, I just begin thinking about music for everyone, so I asked the headmaster that music could be played during break times. He approved an idea, but two years later I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member.
Our club is much more as just music. Every morning we tell students about the weather, recently news, and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast them.
