21、Simple facts about the British currency

The British currency has two units—the pound and the penny. 100 pennies make £1.

Currency paper notes are  £5，£ 10，£ 20 and £ 50. The different notes are quite similar in size and appearance，so be careful! £50 notes are not common，and many shops will not accept them, because of the danger of false money.

Coins are £2. £1.50p. 20p. 10p. 5p. 2p and 1p.

In Scotland. Scottish banks issue their own bank notes of various values. British and Scottish notes and coins are interchangeable. However, you might find some unwillingness in the South of England to accept Scottish notes even though areas near Scotland will happily accept them. We therefore recommend that you exchange or spend any Scottish currency before leaving Scotland.

In conversation and shops, people often do not say "pounds". Something which costs £ 6.50 would usually be described as "six fifty". For things which cost less than one pound, people may say "pence", but often they say "pee", meaning "p". For instance. "That is ninety-nine pee". The larger coins will often be called, for example, "a fifty pee", or "a fifty pee piece".

Best ways of obtaining British money

You can change cash and traveller's cheques at British Banks, building societies (these are similar to banks). larger Post Offices, larger Travel Agents, some larger Tourist Information Centres. American Express, and Bureaux de Change.

Be careful, as some cost more than others! You will probably pay much more at Bureaux de Change at airports and in the centre of London.

Banks, building societies and travel agents will usually charge a fixed percentage fee, about 3%, with a minimum of fee of £2.50. Or it might be 2%, with a minimum fee of £3. Some, such as the Halifax Building Society, may charge a £2 handing charge, plus 1% fee. It is worth looking around. Larger post offices charge only a 1% fee, minimum £2.50, so they can be a good place to go.

【1】What notes should you avoid while exchanging for British money?

A.£5 notes. B.£10 notes.

C.£20 notes. D.£50 notes.

【2】How much is "eight thirty" in purchase?

A.£83. B.£8.30. C.83p. D.8.30p.

【3】Where can you probably get the most value of your money when changing for British currency?

A.British Banks. B.Building Societies.

C.Larger Travel Agents. D.Larger Post Offices.

22、When the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least, that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay when the sun was shining.

Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay while the sun shines.

And sometimes we use this expression to mean we beat someone to the punch, or we got ahead of someone else. And other times you make hay while the sun shines to make good use of the chance to do something while it lasts. You are being opportunistic – taking advantage of a good opportunity. For example, my friend Ozzy was sick for a week and could not go to work. So, his co-worker Sarah -- who doesn’t like him -- took advantage of his illness and stole his project! Talk about making hay while the sun shines.

Sometimes when you make hay while the sun shines you are staying ahead of a problem – like in this example:

Hey, do you want to go hiking with me and my friends this weekend? The weather is going to be beautiful! I wish I could. But I have to finish my taxes. It’s the last weekend before they’re due.

Oh, that’s too bad.

Wait. What about your taxes?

My taxes are done. I was off from work a couple of weeks ago and made hay while the sun shined. I got all of it done!

I wish I would have taken advantage of my time off last week__All I did was lay around the house.

And that’s all the time we have for these Words and Their Stories. But join us again next week. You can listen while you’re making dinner or riding to work. Yeah, make hay while the sun shines.

【1】Which of the following best matches ―make hay while the sun shines in paragraph 2?

A．Sow nothing, reap nothing.

B．Sharp tools make good work.

C．Strike while the iron is hot.

D．One swallow doesn’t make a summer.

【2】According to the underlined sentence, what feeling does the speaker express?

A．Admirable

B．Regretful

C．Annoyed

D．Indifferent

【3】Where is the passage probably taken from?

A．A radio program

B．A magazine

C．A brochure

D．A novel

23、   The Notre Dame fire has been put out, but its spire and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: "What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore. "

But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin's Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.

The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved，dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers，building 3D models with multiple images，as well as measuring everything precisely，engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.

As computers and smartphones are hugely popular，the digital replica（复制品）has great use value. First，it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them，which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore，it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000，a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo，which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all，it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day，people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.

Of course，however precise a model is，it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country's architectural heritage，which will always become ruins with the passing of time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future，but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.

【1】What can we see about Notre Dame in the game？

A. The damaged parts. B. Its wooden shape.

C. Its original look. D. The big fire.

【2】What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings？

A. Improve the technology needed. B. Scan the photos of the buildings

C. Build 3D models of full size. D. Measure all the parts exactly.

【3】What value does a digital replica have？

A. It keeps the relics safe. B. It helps to guard the relics.

C. It gathers data of the relics. D. It advertises the history of the relics.

【4】How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance？

A. By comparison. B. By giving examples.

C. By classification D. By listing data.

【5】What is the authors attitude towards the application of digital technology？

A. Doubtful. B. Delighted.

C. Supportive. D. Conservative.

24、 My friend had mentioned the other day that her father had a lot of children's toys he was looking to give away. She knew I have a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would love it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford.

When I met her father, he began to explain he was too poor once and that he would hate to throw away things that can be very useful.

Before he showed me what he was giving away, I thought the toys would be mostly lego's(乐高积木) or things like that. When he was showing me around I saw a bed, a slide, a kitchen set and many other things that just blew my mind. He told me to write a list of everything my daughter could use and as my eyes were wide, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was helping him by getting rid of the stuff.

As I was looking around I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty. Every time I tried to thank him for giving me and my daughter all this wonderful stuff he would thank me right back. I wanted to believe that he was just thanking me so that I wouldn't feel so guilty but in reality I believe that he was as grateful as I was that these toys would be put to good use.

In the eyes of charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal.  I know that we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter really does enjoy all these nice things!

【1】Why did the old man want to give away his toys?

A. He wanted to help those poor children.

B. He was wealthy enough to buy new toys.

【2】In the writer's opinion, the old man felt grateful because

A. he wanted to make her more guilty

B. he wanted her to take the toys quickly

C. the toys would be put to good use

D. he finally got rid of the stuff

【3】What can we know from the passage?

A. The writer took all the toys home.

B. The old man was a kind and thoughtful person

C. The writer wanted to refuse the stuff when she first saw them.

D. The writer's daughter enjoyed the slide most among all the stuff.

【4】How did the writer feel when given the stuff?

A. Guilty and honored.    B. Grateful and respected.

C. Honored and respected.   D. Guilty and grateful.
