21、Hosting the Olympics requires large spending. But in many cases, efficiently utilizing (利用) the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics.

London, Britain

The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3,000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas.

Beijing, China

Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia’s largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history.

New York, America

The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It’s not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.

Helsinki, Finland

Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.

23、Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York，So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

【1】Why did Delta give the author's family credits?

A. They took a later flight.

B. They had early bookings.

C. Their flight had been delayed.

D. Their flight had been cancelled.

【2】What can we learn about the author?

A. She rarely misses a good deal.

B. She seldom makes a compromise.

C. She is very strict with her children.

D. She is interested in cheap products.

【3】What does the author do?

A. She's a teacher.

B. She's a housewife.

C. She's a media person.

D. She's a businesswoman.

【4】What does the author want to tell us?

A. How to expose bad tricks.

B. How to reserve airline seats.

C. How to spend money wisely.

D. How to make a business deal.

24、   It was a dark autumn night. The old banker was walking up and down his study and remembering how, one autumn evening fifteen years before, he had given a party.

There had been many clever men, and they had talked of capital punishment. The majority disapproved of the death penalty (死刑). They considered it immoral and ought to be replaced by imprisonment for life. “I don't agree,” said the banker, “the death penalty is more moral than imprisonment for life. Capital punishment kills a man at once, but lifelong imprisonment kills him slowly.” Among the guests was a young lawyer, a young man of twenty-five. When asked, he said, “if I have to choose between the death penalty and imprisonment for life, I would certainly choose the second. It’s better to live somehow than not to live at all.”

The banker struck the table with his fist and shouted at the young man, “It’s not true! I’ll bet you two millions—you wouldn’t stay in a cell (小牢房) even for five years.”

“If you mean it seriously,” said the young man, “I’ll take the bet, but I would stay not five but fifteen years.”

“Fifteen? Done!” cried the banker, “Gentlemen, I stake (下注) two millions!”

“Agreed! _______!” said the young man. And this wild, senseless bet was carried out!

And now the banker, walking to and from, asked himself, “What is the object of that bet? What is the good of that man’s losing fifteen years of his life and my throwing away two millions?” Then he remembered what followed that evening. It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his imprisonment under the strictest supervision, in a lodge (小屋) in the banker’s house. He shouldn’t be free to go out, to see human beings, or to hear the human voice. He was only allowed to have some books. The agreement restricted the young man there exactly fifteen years. The slightest attempt on his part to break the rules—if only two minutes before the end—released the banker from the obligation (义务) to pay him the two millions.

For the first year of his imprisonment, the prisoner suffered severely from loneliness and depression. The books he sent for were novels with a complicated love plot, fantastic stories, and so on. In the second year, the prisoner asked only for the classics. In the fifth year, he did not read books. More than once he could be heard crying. In the sixth year, the prisoner began enthusiastically studying languages, philosophy, and history. In the last two years, the prisoner read a large quantity of books. At one time he was busy with the natural sciences, then he would ask for Byron or Shakespeare.

The old banker remembered all this, and thought, “Tomorrow at twelve o’clock he will regain his freedom, and I ought to pay him two millions. If I do pay him, it’s all over with me.” Fifteen years before, his millions had been beyond his imagination; now he was in great debt.

“Cursed bet!” cried the old man in despair, “The only way out for me is that the man should die.”

The clock had just struck three. The banker felt his way in the darkness into the lodge. He struck a match. Not a soul was there! Only a letter! A letter from the prisoner!

“Tomorrow at twelve o’clock I’ll regain my freedom. For fifteen years I have diligently studied earthly life. Your books gave me wisdom...To prove to you in action how I despise (鄙视) all that you live by, I waive (宣布放弃) the two millions, which I once dreamed of as paradise and which now I despise. I shall go out from here five hours before the fixed time, and so break the agreement...”

【1】Why was the old banker walking up and down his study at a dark autumn night?

A.He couldn’t wait to see the lawyer.

B.He was too excited about the result of the bet.

C.He feared that he would lose a lot of money because of the bet.

D.He was concerned about the possibility that the young man would run away.

【2】Which of the following might help complete the blank in Paragraph 8?

A.You bet your millions and I bet my faith.

B.You stake your millions and I stake my life.

C.You bet your millions and I bet my career.

D.You stake your millions and I stake my freedom.

【3】What was the lawyer’s original intention to choose to be locked for 15years in the banker’s lodge?

A.To earn a large sum of fortune.

B.To defend the false truth of the world.

C.To enrich his soul by extensive reading.

D.To fight against the false-hearted banker.

【4】What can you infer from the change in the lawyer’s choices of books within 15 years of imprisonment?

A.A man’s taste in reading never remains the same.

B.The lawyer is gradually reaching a high level of reading.

C.The way of killing the time is always changing with time.

D.The lawyer is eventually addicted to reading different books.

【5】Which of the following may account for the lawyer’s giving up the two millions?

A.A good name is easier lost than won.

B.Money spent on the brain is never spent in vain.

C.Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand.

D.What we acquire without sweat we give away without regret.

【6】What can serve as the best title of the passage?

A.The banker B.The lawyer C.The bet D.The death penalty
