When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure，you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services，where the prices are low，or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay，in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels，there are also suites (套房), which include two or more rooms connected together—perhaps a bed­room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.
24. One's choice of a particular hotel is made mainly according to ________.
A. how much one is willing to pay for a night
B. whether one is travelling on business or for pleasure
C. whether the hotel is in the central part of a city
D. how good the services of the hotel are

B. stay in a single room of a hotel

A . he will become poor
B. he has to pay a lot of money

D. he has to pay some money

One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday—ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad(叠) of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag—the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the old lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss(小题大作), she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.
When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.
"How did you pay for it?" Mr. White asked.
"With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course" she answered.
"Oh? What's that, then?" he asked, as he pointed to a wad of pound notes on the table.
28. Why did Mr. White give his wife ten pounds?
A. For a new handbag. B. For new notes.
C. For her husband's birthday. D. For her birthday.

Bamboo is one of the nature's most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.
Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist recorded one bamboo plant that grew almost 1.5 meters in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1,000 kinds of bamboo that grow around the world on both mountains and plains (平原)．
Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.
Many Asian countries have been using bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for building new buildings. As a matter of fact, the cables (绳索) that hold up the hanging bridge across the Min River in Sichuan are made of bamboo. The bridge has been in use for more than 1,000 years, and is still holding strong.
In Africa, engineers are teaching poor farmers how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap ways to find water because they have no money，and their fields often die from no rain and no water. It seems that bamboo is one of the best things they can use. Bamboo pipes and drills (钻) can help to make the poor thirsty fields to be watered.
32. How is bamboo like grass?
A. It is thin and easy to cut. B. It grows everywhere.
C. It grows quickly after its cut short. D. It is short and green.
33. The sentence “while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters across” means “Some other bamboo plants may grow to be very ________.”
A. short B. strong C. thick D. tall
34. From the text we know ________.
A. most people call bamboo plant trees
B. bamboo plant may grow 4.5 meters in three days
C. the bamboo plant changes its colors when it grows
D. a bridge held by bamboo cable was built thousands of years ago
35. Why did the engineers teach the poor farmers in Africa to make use of bamboo?
A. Because it is cheap. B. Because it is colorful.
C. Because it drills fast. D. Because it is used by Asians.

There's nothing worse than sitting next to someone whose breath smells bad. In ancient China, people used to eat a special plant to make their breath smell better. 36
How your breath smells says a lot about your health. Scientists can now tell whether or not somebody has a disease just from a simple breath test.
37 Breath is made up of waste chemicals (化学物质) that the body makes. Scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have found that these chemicals are different for each person. In fact, they're just like fingerprints (指纹)—that's why scientists sometimes call them “breathprints”．
Compared to other kinds of tests, a breath test is much quicker. 38
Breath tests are also a lot easier to do than regular tests, as people only need to blow into a special machine. 39 It has been useful in finding early signs of problems such as stomach cancer.
40 And hopefully some day, visits to the hospital will be quicker and easier for everyone.
A. How does it work?
B. Now we use gum instead.
C. This machine will help to test their breath.
D. Instead of taking hours, it only takes a few minutes.
E. It's much cheaper to do a breath test than other tests.
F. There are many ways to make your breath smell better.
G. Now, scientists are trying to use breath tests as much as they can.
