ADavid Beckham was born on 2nd May, 1975, in the suburbs of London, at a placecalled Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was football. He played it whenever he had the chance.

As a boy at secondary school he played for the schools of Essex and also for his county team.On 8th July, 1991, he became a trainer with Manchester United.

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets, as millions of new cars are produced. One out of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car that does not pollute. That’s what several large car factories are trying to do. But to build the new car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll ha ve to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change does not come easily, a large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.25．If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem in American workers is_______.A．to keep the air clean B．to have no work to do C．to get a better life D．to go to work by bike26．Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, .A．which is clean itself B．which does not pollute the airC．which is used to clean streets D．which is easier to make 27．What is the conclusion of the writer?A．Bicycling is the only way out.B．The number of cars must be cut down.C．Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.D．Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.CThe booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:Price: ＄10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------ in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.------ by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card（Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted）------ by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------ on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

And if you are a woman, it’s even worse.Many young people get married simply to get other people off their backs (免受别人的指责) . This is a serious compromise.

She said she would not describe herself as celibatarian (独身主义者) but simply a woman who hasn’t come across the right man yet. She has sharp comments for the way in which the old generation looks at marriage.“Many people think marriage is a duty---to your parents, family and society. Nobody cares if your marriage is happy or not, she said, I think this is very wrong an d I intend to live and act according to my own will.”Happily for her, her parents are open-minded and not lay stress on her. But the same does not apply to her friends. They are constantly trying to get her together with some young man or another. She always refuses politely.32.
