26、Concerned about staying safe in your hotel? This list of Hotel Safety Tips will give you the tools and techniques you need to feel and be safe. From years of staying in hotels (mostly for work) we’ve learned how to minimize the risk of hotel theft or other hotel risks by employing the simple but effective hotel safety strategics listed below.
Always lock the door
All hotels have door latches that add an extra layer of security to the door. It won’t stop the most determined thieves, but it will slow them down and for the less ambitious it might be enough to scare them off. If your door has a manual lock, be sure to flip it locked. You can’t have enough protection.
Avoid leaving valuables in your room
Numerous staff members have master keys that can open every room in the hotel and the cleaning staff enters your room at least once a day. While most are professionals and wouldn’t dream of taking anything, there’s no need to tempt them by leaving your diamond ring on the bed or laptop in plain sight. Always take valuables with you IF you can.
Use the privacy signs whenever possible
If you do have to leave your room make sure you hang the privacy sign. If the guest is in the room, hotel staff may avoid the guest. You can also turn your TV on to further indicate someone’s in the room improving the chances your stuff will be safe. This hotel safety tip obviously doesn’t apply if you desire your room being serviced.
For a bonus hotel safety tip, hang the sign when YOU are in the room to make sure they stay clear.
Learn the hotel exits
If you’ve ever experienced escaping from a hotel at 2 in the morning for a hotel fire it’s not pleasant! Take a quick glance at the exit plan posted in the room and be ready. Don’t forget to leave your luggage when you exit your room in a fire situation.
【1】According to the passage, the door latches may ________.

28、 Organizers of Paris 2024 have suggested that breakdancing(霹雳舞) should be included as a new sport in the Olympic sports. The committee is pleased with the suggestion as it is in line with its aim of rejuvenating the Olympics. But, what is breakdancing on earth?
Breakdancing is not simply a style of dance. It’s a unique culture with its own history. Popularized by African Americans and US Latinos, breakdancing is an energetic form of dance including stylized footwork and moves such as spinning on the head, hands or knees. It arose in New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s from martial arts moves. The moves, originally learned as a form of self-defence eventually developed into the complex and athletic moves of today’s breakdancing.
Breakdancing is largely improvisational(即兴的) without standard moves or steps. The key is on energy, movement, creativity and certain danger. The people who perform this style of dance are known as b-boys or b-girls. They are also called breakers.
From those early roots, breakdancing began to add different moves to their routines, such as “pops” and “locks”, which brought a robotic quality to the dance. That style was popularized in the early 1970s by artists of the time. In the 1980s breakdancing reached a greater audience when it was adopted by mainstream artists like Michael Jackson. Jackson’s moonwalk, a step that involved sliding backward and lifting the soles of the feet so that he appeared to be sliding or floating, caused huge excitement among teens of all races.
With the growing popularity over the years, breakdancing has gone from a street phenomenon to one that is accepted by the wider culture.
Breakdancing is universal and it is popular with more than one million b-boys and b-girls in France. We hope the energetic dance is to be in the Olympic Games.
【1】Which of the following best describes breakdancing?
A.Unique and defensive. B.Standard but dangerous.
C.Energetic and creative. D.Improvisational but simple.
【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about breakdancing?
A.Its features and history. B.Its birthplace and audience.
C.Its changes and culture. D.Its moves and complexity.
【3】Why did breakdancing attract more people in the 1980s?
A.It took on a robotic look. B.It caused excitement among teens.
C.It involved pops and locks. D.It was adopted by mainstream artists.
【4】What might be the purpose of writing the text?
A.To popularize breakdancing worldwide.
B.To explain what breakdancing is on earth.
C.To promote breakdancing to an Olympic sport.
D.To introduce the development of breakdancing.
29、 A newly-married Sweden couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by a series of natural disasters, such as the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami.
Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately trapped in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe’s worst snowstorms. Traveling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most fierce cyclones(龙卷风)in the nation's history. From there, the couple were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cold floor of a shopping centre with 2500 others.
“Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets,” Mr Svanstrom told Sweden’s Expressen newspaper. “We escaped by the skin of our teeth. It was so close an encounter with death.
They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude(震级)6.3 earthquake destroyed the city on February 22.
Mrs Svanstrom said, “When we got there the whole town was a war zone.”
“We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we traveled around before going to Japan.”
But days after the Svanstroms arrived. Tokyo was rocked by Japan’s largest earthquake since records began. “The trembling was horrible and we saw roofs fly off the buildings,” Mr Svanstrom said. “It was like the buildings were shaking back and forth.”
The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination -China. But Mr Svanstrom - who also survived the destructive tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004 -said the marriage was still going strong. He added, “I know marriages have to endure some trials (考验),but I think we have been through most of them. We’ve certainly experienced more than our fair share of disasters, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy.”
【1】Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A.The couple went to Perth because of the bush fire in Brisbane.

【2】Which of the following expressions can replace the underlined sentence?
A.We ran away in fear.
B.Our teeth were broken when we ran away.
C.We escaped with others' help.
D.We narrowly escaped death.
【3】What is the real meaning of what Mr Svanstrom said after the honeymoon?
A.He dared not travel again in a period of time but would face any difficulty in his marriage.
B.He regarded the disasters as tests in their marriage and he felt they survived.
C.He thought they should share the suffering and would provide disaster relief to the affected areas.
D.He believed the horrible experience a sign that they should not be together.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.
Nadia, the 4-year-old Malayan tiger that tested positive, was 【2】 for the COVID-19 disease after 【3】 a dry cough along with three other tigers and three lions, the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the zoo, said in a statement.
All of the cats are expected to recover, it said. But officials believe this is a unique case because Nadia became sick after 【4】 to an asymptomatic zoo employee, Paul Calle, chief veterinarian at the Bronx Zoo, told Reuters.
Calle said they did not know which employee infected the tiger. "This is the first time that we have discovered that a person infects the animal and the animal gets sick," Calle said, adding that they planned to share the findings with other zoos and institutions. " I guess 【5】 we will all have a better understanding as a result.
While the other tigers and lions were also 【6】 symptoms, the zoo decided to test only Nadia because she was the sickest and had started to lose her appetite already, and they did not want to 【7】 all the cats to anesthesia(麻醉), Calle said.
Nadia 【8】 X-rays, an ultrasound(超声波) and blood tests to try to figure out what was making her sick .

When ten million passwords were leaked on to the internet,they appeared to 【2】that attempts by internet security experts to make us improve our password strength had been successful, even if, in the specific case of the leaked passwords, they are also completely pointless.
