三、阅读理解

A

The ancient city is in Pingyao county,Shanxi Province.The city wall was first built during the

Zhou Dynasty.Since 1997,it has been listed as a World Heritage Site.Now Pingyao city is the only

one in China completely protected as it was hundreds of years ago.The perimeter(边缘) of this square city is 6.4 km long and the city wall is the earliest and

largest city wall in China.It is 12 m high with width of 5 m.The wall was built with earth and

covered with bricks.Outside the city wall there is a river,4 m wide and 4 m deep.

There are several gates of the city,two each on the east and west and one each on the south

and north side.All the gates have two doors each.This has given the city the name “Turtle City”

with the two gates on the south and north standing for the head and tail of the turtle and four gates

on the east and west as the four legs.The doors on the south and north stand opposite each

other,like the head of the turtle extending out and two wells just beyond southern gate are like a

turtle’s two eyes.

Located on the trade route between Beijing and Xi’an,Pingyao developed into a merchant

centre where the local people set up the nation’s earliest banks.These banks were the first in China

to use checks.Several old courtyards have been turned into museums,most of which are homes and

offices of Pingyao’s old banks.One of the most unusual aspects of a visit here is realising that this

place was very important to China’s financial(金融的) history.

English Language Teaching Job in the English Department

The English Department in the College of Foreign Languages of BCU offers English courses

to Chinese students majoring in the English language. We are now looking for foreign teachers for

full-time teaching of courses on Oral English, English Basic Writing, English Academic Writing,

Speech and Debate, Newspaper Reading, Background to English-speaking Countries and Western

Civilization. Candidates must be native speakers of English with at least a BA degree and twoyears of teaching experience and above. We offer the standard one-year contract (from September

to July ) and the following to the foreign teachers:

—A monthly salary of RMB 8,200 for one with a BA degree, RMB 11,200 for one with an

MA degree, and RMB 16,200 for one with a Ph.D. degree. The normal teaching load for a foreign

teacher is 14 classroom hours and 2 office hours per week. If more teaching time is needed from

staff, this is scheduled strictly with the agreement of the teachers concerned, who are then paid for

the extra work;

—A two-room apartment on campus (furnished, air-conditioned);

—Free medical care (costs for spectacles, false teeth and doctors' home visit are not

We are looking for English teachers with a serious commitment to good teaching—people

who take a professional attitude in the classroom and are highly qualified. Our program gives

teachers a good deal of independence (the subject and timetable are set, but we generally leave the

choice of approaches, methods and textbooks to the teachers), and we want staff who use that

freedom wisely.

Four Lessons I Learned from Travelling

Travelling is a dream!Foreign,faraway countries have fascinated me for travelling.It has not

only enriched my life in many ways but it refreshes me. 1 .

IndependenceIn your safe environment where there’s always something or someone to fall back on,feeling

independent is easy.Travelling puts that whole view of how independent you really are in

question.What do you do when you are caught in an airport in the middle of the night?How well

do you cope in the situation where your credit card suddenly refuses you? 2 .

Be social

Social skills are something you learn over the years regardless of where you are in the

world.Travelling,however,takes being social to the next level! 3 .The truth is also that while

you’re travelling,you often need help or advice from others meaning that you need to know how to

talk to people!

4

We think we’re all super unique.The truth is that after seeing so many different countries and

meeting so many people from all over the world,I’ve come to one conclusion that we’re all mostly

the same when it comes to the things that matter.

Enjoy life

Before and during our two months of travel in the Central America,we worried about so

many things.Did we have all the visas? 5 ?The truth is everything turned out fine.Always

remember that worrying about things going wrong isn’t going to decrease the chances of it

actually happening.Just ENJOY!

A.We are all the same

B.More importantly,it has taught me many lessons

C.Will we find the right flights at the right time

D.Why do more and more people prefer to travel quite often nowadays

E.Firstly,we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves

F.The way you react says a lot about how independent you are

G.Your meeting so many different people makes social skills even more important

(hold) a basketball match against another school.Near the

end of the match,they only had an advantage over us.When our captain got the ball,one of them

pretended 2.

(knock) into by him.Upon seeing that,our captain tried to help

him up,but the match was over and they won.We lost the game.3.

,we were all

satisfied with the result because we went all out.

From this match,I learn that being 4.

winner doesn’t mean gaining everything

while a loser doesn’t mean 5.

(lose) everything.What really counts 6.

(be) the spirit,not the result.As long as we try 7.

(we) best,there is no need in

regretting.In reality,a true loser is even 8.

(precious) than a false

winner.Without that match,I couldn’t have learned the importance of spirit.To sum up,a true

winner is to a match what water is to a fish.It is not the result 9.

the process thatmatters.Life without spirit is like sailing without a compass,so be a true winner and you will find

its 10.

(important).
