Once a wicked wizard(邪恶的巫师)was on a visit to a city and stole the tongues(舌头)from the sleeping people and cast a spell(施一个咒语)on them. The spell meant that these tongues could only say bad things about people. Then the wizard returned these tongues to their owners. In very little time, that city was filled with the sound of people saying bad things about each other.

On seeing all this, the good wizard decided to do something. She cast a spell on the ears of the city people. Under this spell, no matter when the ears heard people saying bad things, they would close up so that nothing could be heard. Later, the tongues started to feel completely useless. When they realized this, they began to change by saying good things to each other.

Until today, the wicked wizard goes on casting the spell on tongues all over the world. But thanks to the good wizard, now people all realize that the best way to end something bad is to pay no attention to it.

24、You are visiting the Big Ben in England, but the next second you are in France. Then, suddenly you may see some animals that have disappeared. But you are not in a wonderland. This is what might happen to you in the near future, with the help of VR（虚拟现实）technology.

VR is a computer technology that creates an environment and allows users to see and even interact（互动）with it. Just wear a pair of VR goggles（护目镜）connected to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room.

“The most attractive part of VR is that it offers an immersive experience. You become a part of the story. That’s why VR movies are popular among users.” said Wang Bing, leader of the Chinese entertainment company Funshow.

According to the Report on Chinese VR Users’ Behavior announced last month, over 960,000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2% of them have watched VR movies.

The use of VR is not only used in entertainment. VR can help to train pilots（飞行员）and workers before they have to actually risk their lives in highly dangerous working environments. VR also helps to treat patients with acrophobia（恐高症）by making them think they are standing on top of a tall building.

25、_______

This month inTravelersCorner there are three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programmes.

Mariko Okada – Tokyo

My year abroad in the United States was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice. I also learned many English songs and lots of interesting things about American culture. When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.

Carla Fonseca – Rio de Janeiro

I spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!

Alvin Chen – Hong Kong

Studying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework.

27、A.根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.

For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute（代用品）impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the colour you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great shop by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. uppermost（最重要的）in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout（停工；停止）for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another to and fro（来回地；往复）, often retracing （折返）her stops, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious（艰苦的）process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

【1】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A.differences between men and women shoppers

B.a man goes shopping because he needs something

C.how women go about buying clothes

D.women are better at shopping than men

【2】The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ________.

A.he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear

B.he buys whatever he likes without considering its value

C.he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

D.he often buys things without giving the matter proper thought

【3】What does the underlined word “promptly” mean?

A.Immediately. B.Happily. C.Luckily. D.Surprisingly.

【4】What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?

A.He buys a similar thing because of the colour he wants.

B.He usually does not buy anything.

C.At least two of his requirements must bu met before he buys.

D.So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.

【5】What happens if a woman buys clothes in a shop?

A.She tries on the dress, and if it fits her, she will finish the purchase.

B.She never knows exactly what she wants, and often buys nothing.

C.She often has no definite idea of what she really wants and often buys a lot more than her expectation.

D.She will retrace among the rails and try to find the dress that everyone thinks suits her.

【6】What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

A.Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.

B.Women bargain（讨价还价）for their clothes, but men do not.

C.The time they take over buying clothes.

D.Men go shopping based on need, but women never.
