26、72 Hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let's start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, you will find Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014 The Great Wall was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s. The art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.
Summer Palace
Located in northwestern Beijing, the Summer Palace is by far the city's most well-preserved royal park. With its huge lake and hilltop views, the palace offers you a pastoral escape into the landscape of traditional Chinese paintings. The Summer Palace was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998.
Sichuan Restaurant
While in Beijing, apart from trying the city's best-known Peking duck the Sichuan Restaurant is one of the places where you can enjoy regional delicious food. It offers one of China's eight great cuisines, which ranges from Mapo tofu to spicy chicken.

27、In the early times, the music industry was afraid of taping, thinking that customers would just copy music, or record from the radio. But that never really happened, at least not enough to cause any real hardship to anyone in the music business.
The same argument arose over technologies like MiniDisc and recordable CDs. But the thing that frighten the music industry more than anything else was the arrival of services like Napster, which allowed people to share music over the Internet without costing them anything. The music industry was shocked; it saw people exchanging digital copies that didn't lower the grade with each transfer, something that stopped tapes being a huge threat.
But it wasn't the Internet that killed the music industry. In fact, everything is still looking optimistic for many musicians. Taylor Swift has had a good year, and her latest album is likely to be making her very rich indeed. And that won't change in all likelihood, not for Swift, and not for those who come after her. There is always going to be public demand for music.
However, the technology will simply destroy the record company. The reason is simple. Record companies are a man in the middle that simply doesn't need to exist anymore. The same way we buy our flights direct, and get our shopping online and have things delivered from Amazon instead of going to a local shop. We have always been willing to enjoy cost reductions at the expense of the middleman, and the record companies are that kind of middleman.
What does the record industry offer? Well, surprisingly little these days. It used to be the case that record companies would go and find new talents. Of course this still happens, but more likely is that an artist will be discovered by the public through YouTube, or even from friends on Facebook or Twitter. Record companies also used to have an important role in producing the music. But countless artists are making their own way through software or any of the other amazing music development apps, without any help from the record companies.
【1】What is Napster most probably?
A．A radio show.
B．A CD player.
C．A software.
D．A tape recorder.
【2】Why didn't tape copying become a huge threat to the music industry?
A．It was hard to transfer.
B．It was strictly controlled.
C．It didn't save much money.
D．It couldn't keep the quality of music.
【3】What does the example of Taylor Swift prove?
A．The Internet won't destroy the music industry.
B．The musicians will benefit a lot from the Internet.
C．The sales of albums are badly affected by the Internet.
D．The demand for music will change due to the Internet.
【4】What will happen to the record companies?
A．They will sell latest albums online.
B．They will become less important in the Internet society.
C．They will cut the expense on producing the music.
D．They will go and find new music talents through the Internet.
28、Top attractions in Florence
One of the wealthiest cities during the Italian Renaissance, Florence is home to classical works of art, historic architecture and natural beauty. Here are the top 4 attractions in Florence.
♦ Duomo—Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Florence's most popular site is Duomo(cathedral). Construction of the Duomo began in 1296. Inside the Duomo, there are dozens of paintings and sculptures of great historical and cultural significance, so give yourself some time to take it all in. The main attraction of this massive structure is Brunelleschi's Dome, a masterpiece of architecture. You'll definitely want to buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to its top.
♦ Galleria degli Uffizi
ADDRESS: Piazzale degli Uffizi, 6, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2388651
The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art, as well as thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times. Artists whose works you'll see include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, and Raphael. Having all these artists' works in one place means you'll want to allow plenty of time to fully appreciate all of them. The Uffizi is Italy's most crowded museum so it's a good idea to buy tickets ahead to avoid long ticket lines.
♦ Campanile—Bell Tower
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Construction of the Campanile (Italian for “hell tower”) began in 1334. Inside the Campanile are detailed relief carvings and sculptures. If you climb the 414 stairs (there's no elevator in this Gothic tower), you'll be rewarded not only with great views of the Cathedral and its dome hut of Florence and the surrounding area.
♦ Ponte Vecchio
ADDRESS: Ponte Vecchio, 50125 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-294290
The Ponte Vecchio (old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's first bridge across the Arno River. It is the only surviving bridge from Florence's medieval days (others were destroyed in World War II). The always crowded Fonte Vecchio is still lined with shops selling gold and silver jewelry.

29、When it comes to breaking rules during a job search, career coach Angela Copeland encourages jobseekers to think beyond the normal barriers or unspoken rules.
“It’s always been my philosophy that you have to think outside the box. 【1】 because then no one is going to know who you are,” says Copeland. The best jobs, she says, go to those who try harder, who are creative and who break the rules in their job search.
Copeland offers four top rules to break while looking for a job.
1. Don’t listen to HR about how to apply.
The standard line is to apply for a job online. Copeland suggests finding other ways to apply, too, whether it is in person, via a headhunter or through a friend inside the company. 【2】.
2. Don’t worry if you don’t meet all qualifications.
【3】. The hiring manager will be interviewing candidates who don’t have all the qualifications, which often is a wish list for the company. There will be parts of the job description that are optional or that they’re willing to teach you.
3. Don’t worry about bothering people.
Put yourself out there and network with people in your industry. Attend events and reach out to people by email or phone. Out of 10 contacts, you may only have three who respond. 【4】.
4. Don’t be afraid of social media.
When applying for jobs, know that potential employers will Google you and look through your social media profiles. 【5】. But also use social media to meet new people. Many senior executives manage their own accounts online, and it’s good to engage with them when possible.
A．Keep them professional and updated
B．You can’t count on everyone to lend you a hand
C．But one of those could lead you to your new job
D．You can’t be so worried about following the rules
E．Applying in person often is the most effective method
F．Challenge yourself to think differently and to take risks
G．If you want a job and think you can do it, you should apply anyway
