Fascinating Venice Located in the northeast of Italy,Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures,romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience.The city spreads out over 118 islands,which are linked by more than 400 bridges,in the Venetian Lagoon.
   Venice's historical center consists of six regions.Italy in the south,the busiest main regions,are linked by the Rialto Bridge.The famous stone arch bridge crosses Venice's main
waterway-the Grand Canal.When night falls,many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
   Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St.Mark's Basilica,a must-see.Inside,beautiful mosaics (鑲嵌圖案) tell stories of Bible figures.Nearby are the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.These were made famous by Lord Byron, "I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs,a palace and prison on each hand." The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge,their love will last forever.
   In the square outside the Basilica,lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian,regarded as the oldest coffee,house in Europe.Charles Dickens,Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city's museums.They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni,Titian and Tintoretto.
   On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon;,Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291.Tourists can visit factories,studios and the Glass Museum.Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art.Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass.The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace making and colorful houses.Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (萬(wàn)花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.

  • 2.The family who eats together What's the price of a family meal?For many families in the world's wealthiest countries,the answer seems to be, ‘too much'.For instance,in the United States,(1)
    is often a trendsetter in such things,the majority of families report eating a single meal together fewer than five days a week.In fact,the frequency of shared meals(2)
    (decrease) in American families by 33 per cent over the last twenty years.The meals(3)
    (they) have shortened too:from an average of 90 minutes to just 12 minutes.
        So perhaps we're better off asking ourselves(4)
    the cost of not eating together is.Once again,we could turn to the figures.The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found that 15-year-olds who reported not regularly(5)
    (share) family meals were twice as likely to be absent from school.In Europe,research has suggested that children who don't eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week face a 40 per cent higher risk of fatness.Another study,(6)
    (conduct) by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (濫用) at Columbia University,found that kids who eat dinner with their parents five or more times a week are(7)
    (likely) to have problems with drugs and alcohol.
        But those numbers,impressive(8)
    they seem,may be beside the point.After all,having a meal together is more than just a preventive measure(9)
    future misfortune.The primary cost of the family meal is also the very thing that makes it important:time.
        The time spent together over food leads to all the positive outcomes that are measured in the studies.That time spent together has less noticeable — but no less real — effects too.So often,(10)
    is at the family meal that the family as such — the family as an organic unit with shared memories and feelings and ambitions — is made.

  • 3.I believe that writing is the most important invention in history.It is the most important for two reasons.First,it helped governments and businesses work better.Second,it helped ideas to spread.
       Writing was invented by the Sumerians around 5,000 years ago. (1)
    One example is The Code of Hammurabi.It was a list of laws written on a huge stone block for all to see.The law was written down,so every person knew what the law was.They knew what would happen if they broke it.
       The Sumerians also wrote down rules about their government.The rules described how the government should work. (2)
    The rule said that the worker would have to pay a fine.This made the government act more responsibly.
       The Sumerians also wrote down business contracts (合同).That's because a contract explains what both sides promise to do.Written contracts helped the Sumerians run better businesses.This helped their civilization to grow.
       (3)
    It was an epic poem (史詩(shī)) called The Epic of Gilgamesh.The work is about more than just two friends on an adventure.It is also about life and death,happiness and sadness.It's full of big ideas about the world.When the Sumerians wrote these ideas down,they spread.As a result,the Sumerians could study and talk about these big ideas. (4)
    Writing helped the Sumerians become great thinkers.
       As you have read,writing helped the Sumerians become a great civilization. (5)
    That is why writing is the most important invention in human history.

    A.They could also improve these ideas.
    B.Writing continues to improve our lives today.
    C.They used writing to make their government work better.
    D.The Sumerians also created the world's first written story.
    E.Writing is so common to us that we hardly think about it.
    F.The writing of the Sumerians further developed to include sounds and meanings.
    G.One rule explained what would happen if a government worker didn't do his job well.
