21、Casablanca:Time Did Go By
If the Hollywood image of Casablanca is important to you, prepare for a shock from Casablanca.The city is further away from eastern romanticism (浪漫主义)than any other in Morocco,and Casablanca is a modern city — and beautiful in its own aspect.
Colony(殖民地)White
A walk around Casablanca will decide clearly that Casablanca was the place that the French colonial government gave most attention and money.The buildings are of a French version (版本)of Arabo-Andalucian architecture,white with soft lines,and often plenty of details.
The area to explore is south of Avenue des Forces Arms Royales,but of special interest is the Place des Nations Unies,which has the largest structures.
Town Market
Right in from the long Boulevard Muhammad 5, you will find the Marche Central of Casablanca.The place is a small but high-quality version of the traditional suuqs of Morocco, and everything is aiming at the needs of the locals.
The Marche Central has vegetables,meat,all kinds of sea food,as well as handicrafts (手工艺品).Turtle soup should therefore be an option for those visiting Casablanca.
Old City
The old city of Casablanca is conveniently located — just off the main town square from where roads lead to all directions, and off the sea.But as you enter, you will see that it is not all that old after all,that the houses here often have a form and size which would have made them natural features in the new parts of many other Mococcan cities.
【1】Which of the following colonial governments put most money into Casablanca?
A.Moroccan. B.French. C.American. D.Arab.
【2】If you want to enjoy sea food,which would you like to choose?
A.Colony White. B.Old City. C.Town Market. D.Casablanca Time.
【3】What’s the writer’s attitude towards Casablanca in this passage?
A.Passive. B.Appreciative. C.Disappointed. D.Indifferent.
22、 The most important holiday in Chinese culture around the world is undoubtedly Chinese New Year, and it all started out of fear.【1】The lion-like monster’s (怪兽的) name was Nian. An old man advised the villagers to fight with Nian by making loud noises with drums (鼓) and firecrackers and by hanging red paper cutouts on their doors.【2】On the anniversary (周年纪念) of the date, the Chinese recognize the “passing of the Nian,” known in Chinese as guo nian.
【3】It’s based on the lunar calendar. The date of Chinese New Year falls according to the Moon’s orbit (轨道) around the Earth. Other Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam also celebrate the New Year using the lunar calendar.
Spring cleaning is a common tradition during this time.【4】The New Year celebration could also have been a way to break up the boredom of the long winter months.
On Chinese New Year, families travel long distances to meet, known as Chunyun. Though the holiday is actually just a week long, traditionally it’s celebrated as a 15-day holiday when firecrackers are lit and red lanterns glow at night.【5】Many cities around the world hold New Year parades complete with dragon and lion dances.

24、Rainy days don't have to get you down, a happiness expert has claimed.
Paul Dolan, Professor of Behavioral Science at London School of Economics, said that people only feel miserable in bad weather because they think about it too much. Studies have shown that people who live in warm, sunny climates are no happ-ier than those in chilly, wet climates, he said.
So the British talking about the weather may be making us gloomier(沮丧的) than the weather itself.
He said:“A study was done that measured the happiness levels of people in California compared to the North West.”
“They expected that people in California would be happier because it is sunnier, but they found that levels of happiness were exactly the same.
“If it is sunny every day you get used to it and the sunshine doesn't make you any happier.
“Most of the time the weather doesn’t affect our well-being at all. But when we think about it and think that it does, that's when we get miserable.”
In his new book, Happiness By Design. Dolan argues that we can think ourselves happy by taking our attention away from what makes us sad.
“Most of our anxieties come from what might be,” he argues. "If you want to be happier, pay attention to the things that make you feel good.”
He also claimed that a problem shared was not always a problem halved (减半). He claimed that humans are actually very good at being able to get over tragedy and loss.
Professor Dolan also admitted for the first time that he had a stammer (口吃), which had made his early life miserable. He claimed it only got better when he learned not to pay attention to his speech problem.
"Things are never as bad as you imagine them being” he said
【1】What has the research found?

D. Cold days make people feel less happy

C. Cheerful D. Confident
【3】What is Dolan's suggestion for being happy?
A. Don't think too much about yourself.
B. Don't focus on what makes you sad
C. Avoid comparing yourself with others
D. Avoid doing many miserable things
【4】What do we know about professor Dolan?
A. Once, he couldn't speak fluently
B. Once he didn't want to share his problems with others
C. He has a great ability to get over bad things.
D. He has written many books about happiness.
