Every city in the world has taxis to take tourists to interesting places. London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an interesting experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs（出租车）, which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. While British people are famous for being polite and reserved, London taxi drivers are well known of their willingness to talk.
Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab moves off they are captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi drivers to stop talking.
“They’re self-confident and free thinking,” says Malcolm Linskey, the author of a history of taxi drivers in London. “They answer to nobody but themselves and that comes across in their conversation.”
They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. That’s why Ken Living-stone, the mayor of London, is planning to make taxi drivers discuss their fares with customers before they take a ride.
Drivers agree that their fares are expensive. That’s because their black taxis cost more than other cars, they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world.
Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver, that person has to pass a test known as “The Knowledge”. This involves memorizing the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London. The trainee must also
learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the shortest distance between any two destinations within this area.
It can take up the three years to pass “The knowledge”. Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London, taking careful notes of popular destinations before finding the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often handed down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize routes they will need to know when it is their turn to do “The Knowledge”.
The effect of this is to make London taxi drivers experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research by scientists at the Institute of Neurology in London found that the hippocampus—the part of the brain that remembers things—was larger and more developed in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads, so their brains grow bigger.
51．Taking a taxi in London is an interesting experience for tourists because of the following statements except that _______.
A．the special black cabs can’t be found in other countries
B．the drivers are polite and reserved
C．the drivers are talkative
D．the drivers are self-confident and free thinking
52．Taking a taxi in London is very expensive because _________.
A．the drivers answer to nobody but themselves
B．the drivers can discuss their fares with customers before the ride
C．the drivers are the most qualified
D．the black cabs are the safest
53．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．London has the most expensive taxis in the world
B．“The Knowledge”is a test that can be done easily
C．trainee taxi drivers are not often seen on the streets
D．many taxi drivers tend to make their children taxi drivers
54．London cab drivers have bigger brains because _______
A．they are experts at their job
B．they have many streets and routes in their minds
C．their hippocampus is larger and more developed
D．their heads are bigger

An unhealthy obsession (着迷)with celebrity(名人) culture is damaging the study success of British students, a survey of teachers found last Friday, with celebrity couple the Beckhams their favorite. Many students are dropping their study to seek the chance of fame instead, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) survey found. .Almost two-thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity most pupils wanted to copy while more than half of students wanted to be pop stars. The celebrities students wanted to be most like, the survey said, were Los Angeles-based David and Victoria Beckham, Britain's most famous couple. Soccer player "Beckhams" topped the poll (民意测验), with more than half the teachers saying their students modeled themselves on him. In second place, with almost a third of the poll's vote, was his 33 year-old wife and pop star "Posh."
A majority of teachers said it was television "stars" and a media fixation with celebrities, celebrity culture that negatively impacted the their pupils. Almost half of the 300 teachers polled said pupils tried to look like or behave like celebrities they most admired. What they feared is that girls particularly dressed in "unsuitable.”"We are not surprised about infiltration(渗透) of celebrity culture in schools" the teacher Mary Boust said in a statement. "Celebrities can have a positive effect on students. They can raise students' desires and ambitions for the future. "However, celebrity culture can cause the wrong opinion that celebrity status(地位) is the greatest achievement and the belief that other career choices are not valuable."
55. The survey showed that________
A. the British students studied hard.
B. many students dreaming of being famous stars.
C. Beckhams was a famous football player.
D. the teacher thought it unnecessary to study hard.
56. The underlined word ”modeled” refers to ______
A. was fond of
B. hated
C. copied
D. wished
57. Which of the following is NOT right?_________
A. The survey was carried by the teachers.
B. Beckham was the most popular with the students.
C. Celebrities sometimes have a good effect on the students.
D. The couple Beckhams now still live in England.
58. Which is the best title of the passage?________
A. British Students Wants to Be Famous
B. Celebrity Obsession Harming British Students
C. Teachers Worried about Their Students
D. The Students’ Opinions Are changing
