24、 Coffee is a necessary part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have definitely drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a cafe or a bar, you are presented with a tiny, bitter espresso(蒸馏咖啡). This is "normal coffee" for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. In addition, while take-away coffee is extremely popular among Englishmen, it is not very common at all in Italy especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Typically, breakfast at a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(油酥糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafes in the Italian town I'm living in these cafes sell a series of mouth-watering pastries-either plain or filled with cream, chocolate, jam or Nutella-as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry is the perfect way to start the day. I think it's a nice way to head to bar to buy a coffee and a pastry for breakfast before working and it's relaxing to take more time to enjoy such breakfast at the weekend.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Of course, this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee regularly without breaking the bank.
【1】Which of the following do Italians like better?
A.Takeaway coffees. B.Huge coffees.
C.Creamy coffees. D.Tiny, bitter coffees
【2】What does the word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Italians. B.Britons. C.Coffees. D.Cafes.
【3】Why can the writer often go out for coffee in Italy?
A.Because coffee is a part of Italian culture. B.Because there are so many cafes or bars.
C.Because Italian pastries are very delicious. D.Because Italian coffee is very cheap.
25、 Cold weather affects (影响)how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word "cold".
For centuries, the body’s blood has to do with the emotions(情绪). People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example are said to be "cold-blooded". Cold-blooded people may do cruel (残忍的) things to others, For example, newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. the killer killed someone, not mistake. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, not caring about others’ lives at all. Cold can affect other parts of the body. But the expression "get cold feet" has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. The expression "give someone the cold shoulder"probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give the shoulder to a friend who has hurt you deeply, or to someone who has lied about you to others. "A cold fish" is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unemotional and show love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. He or she will never feel sorry for those in bad situations.
"Out in the cold" means not getting something that all other people got. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
【1】According to Paragraph 1, the writer probably agrees that ______.
A.cold weather affects human bodies and minds
B.all the English expressions with the word "cold" are not good ones
C.human emotions are decided by the body’s blood
D.cold-blooded killers kill people for a certain reason

28、A young painter completed a nice picture. To get people’s t【1】 about his skills, he put it at a crossing on a busy street. And below it a board read, "Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. S【2】 I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake."
When he came back in the evening to c【3】 his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e【4】 wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, "I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w【5】 teaching. "
The master smiled and suggested, "I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. "
Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another board w【6】 said, "Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h【7】. If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it."
Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was s【8】 to see that actually there was not a single correction done!
It’s easy to say but difficult to do. If you want to help people i【9】 their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their attitudes (态度) or skills. Also, always remember not to judge (评判) y【10】 by someone else’s words and feel bad.

Today, people everywhere enjoy watching movies and television. Before movies and television, people didn’t have lots of amusements. ______ they did things at home, or they went to theaters to see plays and performances. Watching performances on stage didn’t stop being popular.
There were theaters in Greece more than 2,000 years ago. Most Greek cities had a theater. Greek plays were funny or sad, but all of them taught important lessons about life.
