The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selec ted parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.
The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.
The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). ＂From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,＂ explains the Pompidou Centre.
The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg.

C．By size and shape. D．By time and subject.
34. What does the word ＂contributions＂ in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Artworks. B．Projects.
C．Donations. D．Documents.
Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
——Michael Horan
I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincharn Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的)jacket and tights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
——Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.
——JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.
35. Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that ________.
A．drivers should be polite to cyclists
B．road accidents can actually be avoided
C．some pedestrians are a threat to road safety
D．walking while using phones hum one’s eyes
36. Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should ________.
A．be provided with enough roads
B．be asked to ride on their own lanes
C．be made to pay less tax for cycling
D．be fined for laughing at policemen
37. The underline word “they” in the third letter refers to ________.
A．accidents B．vehicles
C．pedestrians D．cyclists
38. The three letters present viewpoints on ________.
A．real sources of road danger
B．ways to improve road facilities
C．measures to punish road offences
D．increased awareness of road rules
When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, "Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish." I remember being even more upset then, because I'm not a fish! I didn't know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow waters to deep waters because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don't have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, "We all need to think like salespeople." But it didn't completely make sense. My dad never once said, "If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman." What he said was, "… you have to think like a fish." Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
39. Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine?
A．Because he could not catch a fish. B．Because his father was not patient with
him.
C．Because his father did not teach him fishing. D．Because he could not influence a fish as his father did.
40. What did the author's father really mean?
A．To read about fish. B．To learn fishing by oneself.
C．To understand what fish think. D．To study fishing in many ways.
41. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found___________.
A．in deep waters on sunny days B．in deep waters on cloudy days
C．in shallow waters under sunlight D．in shallow waters under waterside trees 42. After entering the business world, the author found________.
A．it easy to think like a customer B．his father's fishing advice inspiring
C．his first boss's sales idea reasonable D．it difficult to sell services to poor people In the United States alone,over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year.Cell-phones are
part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times taster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while
the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste,the concentration（含量）of gold and other precious metals was higher in So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.
Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material,up to 100 times more,than the material contained in the finished products.Consider again the cell-phone,and imagine the mines that produced those metals,the factories needed to make the box and packaging（包装）it came in.Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.
The U.S Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that"the production, distribution,and use of products-as well as management of the resulting waste-all result in greenhouse gas release." Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start-for instance,buying reusable products and recycling.
In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive（动机）for reducing waste.If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products,would they reduce the packaging in the first place?
Governments' incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money.Why,they ask,should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap（气泡垫）that encased your television?
From the governments' point of view,a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.
43. By mentioning the Swiss study,the author intends to tell us that .
A．the weight of e-goods is rather small
B．natural minerals contain more precious metals
C．E-waste deserves to be made good use of
D．the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste
44. The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended .
A．from producers to governments
B．from governments to producers
C．from individuals to distributors
D．from distributors to governments
45. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The increase in e-waste. B．The creation of e-waste.
C．The seriousness of e-waste. D．The management of e-waste.
Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 46 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 47 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
● 48 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
● 49 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
●You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 50 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
The virus “Ebola” is named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That’s 51 the virus was discovered in 1976. A person can only get Ebola through direct contact with an infected person’s body fluids, for example, sweat or spit. Additionally, the virus can get into your body 52 your eyes and mouth. That’s why health care workers are supposed to keep themselves completely 53 (cover) while treating patients.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak is spreading fast in Western Africa, taking over 900 54 (life) so far. The health systems in this area are severely lacking in resources, and health care workers may not have enough protective clothing 55 working in rural clinics. For now, all doctors can do 56 (be) to treat the symptoms and provide some care.
There are several promising drugs and vaccines (疫苗) in 57 (develop), but since Ebola is less common — and research about it is not 58 (good) carried out — there is no drug or vaccine that 59 (approve) for use in humans. Many of the other drugs and vaccines have not yet been tested in humans. The WHO (World Health Organization) is meeting next week 60 (discuss) whether experimental treatments should be used during this outbreak.
