　(B) These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formally. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear tidy dresses. In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are careful with their clothes. At home, or on holidays, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes. It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then wear the same. You will feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from everyone else. 6. People in Britain and the US wear informal clothes when they _____________. A. go out to enjoy themselves

　(C) There’s one character(汉字), you will certainly want to know. 囧(jiong), which first appeared about 3,000 years ago, has become one of the most often used icons(符号) by the Chinese Internet users. The character has become to mean “sad and frustrated(灰心丧气的)”, as it looks like a sad face. The character, whose first meaning is “bright”, has attracted a lot of people talking about its new Net meaning. This new meaning is popularly used in sentences such as, “I was so 囧 to find myself in the same lift as my teacher, after I had complained about him to a classmate”, or “It’s really囧 that I was in such a hurry that I threw my schoolbag instead of the rubbish bag into the dustbin(垃圾箱)”. This character has also given birth to a great many different uses. Blogger(博主) are using it in their blog(博客) names, such as Jiong Pig. More than 500 Jiong BBS were born during a night, such as “Jiong Village” on baidu.com. And some Net users have even built a website for Jiong, such as “Jiong Everyday” on Youku (a hot video sharing website), which plays a daily humorous video on the Jiong culture. Though it’s so popular, 90 percent of Chinese can’t say this character correctly, according to an online survey on Internet. No one is sure how this ancient character has become more and more popular in today’s life. 囧 now is not just another Chinese character but also has come to stand for a way of life. The character has found its way to bags, shoes, and even become the name of a milk tea shop. 11. 囧 is most often used by _____________.

　(D) 备选 Lu Yongkang is described as a person who kneels(跪) down in work but is spoken highly of by others who stand. He is 58 years old and works at a village school in Guizhou Province. He has taught children for 38years. He had to kneel down during teaching for 36 years until he received an operation which helped him stand up again. He got disabled because of infantile paralysis(小儿麻痹症) in childhood. At the age of twenty, he, a primary school graduate, became a village teacher because all the teachers in the village school had gone. The first thing he had to do as a teacher was to ask dropouts back. It was hard work for him because of his disabled legs. In order to pay home visits to every dropout, he made a pair of special shoes weighing two kilos for himself with wooden boards, old basketballs and tires. Putting on the shoes on his disabled legs, he spent two or three hours walking on his knees towards the students’ homes while it takes normal people only one hour to walk. “Once I was hit by hails(冰雹),” Lu recalled. “I had to hide under a tree. The hails hit on my body and face. It was so painful.” In 2005, he received 14 operations offered by the local government for free and finally he could stand up with the help of crutches (拐杖).
