27、It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year---we just won’t go.

Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession---financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterised by intense verbal aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.

Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for,” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.

“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo（禁忌）about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

【1】What does the author say about vacationing?

A．People enjoy it all the more during a recession.

B．It is the chief cause of family disputes.

C．It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

D．Few people can afford it without working hard.

【2】What does the author mean by saying “ money is known…to bring a relationship to its knees”( Lines1-2, Para.2)?

A．Money is considered to be the root of all evils.

B．Few people can resist the temptation of money.

C．Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.

D．Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.

【3】The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession ________.

A．conflicts between couples tend to rise

B．couples show more concern for each other

C．it is more expensive for couples to split up

D．divorce and separation rates increase

【4】The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should ________.

A．put their money together instead of keeping it separately

B．make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets

C．discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship

D．avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic

28、   Keeping pence with your roommates will not always be a walk in the park. 【1】 You may also have to adjust yours as a form of cooperation and respect. Here are some steps you could follow to be at Peace with your new roommates:

【2】.This is the foundation of every friendship-familiarity with one another. Organize an open discussion about your roommate's personality. Know his likes and dislikes as well as his pet peeves(难忍之事，痛处). Have the necessary information in case of emergencies. This will allow each one of you an opportunity to understand one another more as well as reconcile(调解) differences if there is any.

Keep your messy stuff at bay.【3】 You must be mindful on your own share of the room's dirt and mess. Keep your things organized and generally out of anyone's way. Learn to be tidy and clean at all times. Create a duty schedule with your roommate, have an honest and fair agreement on it and stick strictly to it.

【4】 Good communication is the key here. You must accept that your roommate may be in a calm manner with your complaints. It is best to keep only in the room what happened in the room. It is not respectful if you would talk to other people that have no concern at all about your complaints.

Roommates arc perfect candidates to be your lifelong friends. Learn to treasure your relationship rooted in mutual(相互的) respect to each other. 【5】

A.Mind your basic manners.

B.Get to know your roommates more.

C.Deal with conflicts in a calm manner.

D.This will surely make your new room a home away from home.

E.Rather, you may have to face and deal with different personalities.

F.Nothing is more annoying than having a messy work and living space.

G.Provide your roommate with necessary time and space to make him feel the privacy he used to enjoy.

29、   The National Beekeeping Centre Wales is a free attraction in the countryside that teaches children about the importance of honeybees – with the chance to try lots of local honeys.

This friendly visitor centre is a supporter of Welsh honeybees, which are increasingly under threat from climate change and loss of wildflower meadows. It raises visitors’ awareness of environmental issues and shows the 4,000-year history of beekeeping and honey-making from the ancient Egyptians to the Romans. A Hive Aid scheme lets you adopt a beehive (from £50 per person), and regular courses (from £60 per person) train new generations of beekeepers.

Fun fact

Bees pollinate about a third of everything we eat and play an important role in sustaining our ecosystems. In economic terms, honeybee pollination could be worth up to £200m to the UK alone.

Next door is the Furnace Tearoom, part of the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre, which serves light bites – wraps (卷饼), fruit salads (£7) and coffee. And the nearby Pavilion Restaurant at the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden has cooked food, including baked potatoes (£5) and daily specials such as local casseroles (焙盘) with bread rolls (£6), plus coffee and cakes.

Exit through the gift shop

There is a range of bee-themed gifts in our gift shop, including bee toys (£2), wooden honey candy (£2) and a selection of honeys all made by Welsh producers (£5). The bestselling Bodnant honey (£8) goes fast.

Getting here

We are located just off the A470 on the Bodnant Estate in the Conwy Valley, and 10 minutes from the A55 north Wales coast road. Follow the brown signs just after Bodnant Gardens.

Value for money

Visits and activities for kids are free, though donations are welcome. Taster days (from £60) and the weekend beekeeping course (£80 per person) are held at Abergwyngregyn village, 10 miles west down the A55.

Opening hours

The Visitor Centre opens daily from 10 am --- 4pm but it is volunteer-run, so phone ahead to check. Expect lots of fun activities around the annual Conwy Honey Fair.

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant).

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.

B: He often tells us to look c【5】and follow the i【6】.

A: What will you do when you finish the experiment?

B: We must put e【7】back in the cupboards and wash our hands.

A: Right. It is very i【8】to keep the lab clean.
