People now dont ne

19、ed to plan where to go or worry about where to eat. The sightseeing restaurant bus has two floors with 47 seats. It tours around the city while serving food prepared by the famous Michelin restaurant there. Its service includes day and night tours, with day tour covering over 20 sights from Kowloon

20、to Hong Kong Island or to the New Territories. The two-and-a-half-hour day tour costs each passenger 380 HK dollars（$48.9）。Night tours are only for booking out the whole bus and guests can choose the route（路線）for themselves.With no smile and only terrible teeth, two robot-like dinosaurs（恐龍）standing

24、staurants provide food for the tourists on the bus.DPassengers can choose the route for day tour by themselves.B14、In America, seldom do you go anywhere without hearing a principle called WIN-WIN. It sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, I have always been taught to try ever

25、ything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people win. However, as time goes by, I have gradually understood the essence (真諦) of WIN-WIN principleit is the way of winning on both sides.When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers (跳棋) which includes two basic tactics (戰術):

26、 One is to create paths for yourself; the other is to prevent your rival對手 moving. Players may use these two totally different ways in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for him even if his rival may take advantage of it. Finally he can always reach the goal

27、a few steps ahead of the other player.In the 1990s, a strategy戰略 called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world. Its aim is to achieve your success while giving other people some advantages, so there is no real loser. One example of using the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in the U

28、S. Most Americans support the spirit of voluntary contribution. In the US, schools and children organizations usually encourage and support kids to take part in community activities so that the voluntary spirit can be_in their minds from childhood.In China, its quite usual that some people are too s

29、elfish and never take peoples interests into consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called “foolish” or “silly”. Actually helping other people can be of great delight for the helper, for he can also learn something useful for his life such as symp

30、athy, care, devotion, etc. So only if you take other peoples interests into consideration , you can make sure to win what you want.1The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _.Ato tell us the cultural differences between China and the US.Bto tell us the different educational systems in the

32、ledCplanted DinfluencedC15、Have you ever felt a strong emotion (情緒), but not been able to find the right word to describe it? Maybe there is a word for it, but you just dont know it yet. One man is trying to help fix this problem. University of East London psychology researcher Tim Lomas is making a

33、 list of words from different languages around the world. The words have no exact equivalent(對等的) words or phrases in the English language. Perhaps the most famous example is “schadenfreude”, the German word describing pleasure at the bad luck of others.Borrowing from as many languages as he could,

34、Lomas searched for “untranslatable” experiences and published them in The Journal of Positive Psychology last year. His study is called the Positive Lexicography Project. Lomas has focused mostly on happy moments. He hopes that learning these words will enrich (使豐富) peoples lives. So now, thanks to

35、the Portuguese(葡萄牙語), when you run your fingers through a loved ones hair you can call it “cafune”. Or you can use the Spanish word “estrenar” to describe the feeling when you wear or use something for the first time. The Germans describe the good mood at the end of a working day as “feierabend”, wh

36、ile the Norwegians describe the feeling of sitting around a warm fireplace as “peiskos”.“The limits of our language are said to define the boundaries of our world,” Lomas wrote for The Conversation. “If we lack (缺乏) a word for a particular positive emotion, we are far less likely to experience it.”1

It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music.

42、Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. T

But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were

44、 by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become pop

45、ular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.The musical instrument most linked to rock and

46、roll is the guitar. Experts say Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential guitar players in rock and roll during the late 1960s. His “Purple Haze” was liked by many people.By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. It expanded into many new forms. For example, there was country

47、 rock, hard rock, acid rock, and heavy metal rock. Punk rock, jazz rock, and glitter rock.In the middle 1970s, experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll.
