10、ish summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated “i

11、n the heart of Edinburgh”. This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs.In addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in

12、one of Europes most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our “guide” readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and

13、had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotlands treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to “check things out” while your employee went shopping in Princes Street.This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years

14、hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the nex

15、t two weeks.Yours sincerely,Jovan Gagic21. Jovan wrote the email to _. A. express dissatisfaction B. share experiencesC. provide information D. raise expectations22. According to Jovan, the guide _.A. organized cultural activities B. had a good knowledge of the cityC. failed to perform duties D. rec

16、eived punishment for bad behaviour23. What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr. Mallory? A. To ask him to fire the guide. B. To make him feel sorry.C. To give him some suggestions. D. To get him into trouble.B I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car

17、 was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: well buy another. But the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new carI worked out that, with the loan (贷款) wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much

18、 as 600 a month. And thats when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny

19、little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to a

20、fford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from

21、 their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure Id soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether well ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a ci

22、ty, is all in the mind. I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but wed be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the an

23、swer is no, and Im a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.24. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because _. A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too much C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him25. What

Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.27. What conclusion did the

25、 author draw after the eight-month car-free life? A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard. C. A car-free life does not suit everyone. D. His life gets improved without a car. C Tea vs Coffee Tea and coffee are two of the most widely consumed drinks in the United S

26、tates.With popularity and interest in tea continuing to grow in recent years, many consumers have recently considered making the switch from coffee to tea, if they have not done so already.All the buzz surrounding tea and coffee may have you wondering, what are the differences?As it turns out, the d

27、ifferences are many and varied.In the US, interest in tea ranges from coast to coast with the highest in Hawaii and California but stretching to the eastern states of Vermont and New York. On the other hand, the highest interest in coffee tends to be concentrated more in the north and western region

28、s(地区), with the highest search volumes appearing in the states of Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota.Differences between tea and coffee also vary in origin and production. All tea comes from the harvested leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, while there are about 60 different species of coffee plant

29、s. Production of tea is quicker and more efficient:Camellia sinensis plants only need to grow for three years before they are ready to process; coffee plants take up to five years.Perhaps the most concerning issue consumers have when considering making the switch to tea is the question of caffeine.T

30、he good news is, when it comes to tea and caffeine, there is something for everyone.Unlike coffee, which typically only comes in decaffeinated and regular, there are several varieties of tea available, based on caffeine preference.From herbal teas that are naturally free of caffeine, to high quality

31、 green and black teas that offer less than half the caffeine of coffee, to high caffeine teas such as our specially formulated HiCAF blends that contain slightly more caffeine than a cup of coffee, there is a variety sure to suit your needs.As an added bonus, the lower acidity levels in tea tend to

32、be gentler on the stomach for a more comforting pick-me-up. So what is the answer, coffee or tea? If you are looking for the most healthful benefit possible, tea is probably the winner. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.If, like many Americans, the rising popularity in tea has your interest piqued, the images bel
