Tickets for the World Expo (世博會) 2010 will go on sale for groups on March 27, and for the public on July 1, 2009.

The basic ticket price will be 160 yuan. Foreigners will be able to buy tickets from overseas outlets authorized （授權）by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination (BSWEC).

From March 27 to June 30, group bookings can be made for organizations, institutions and enterprises. The public can buy tickets from July 1.

Peak day admission tickets will cost 200 yuan and will cover 17 days including Chinese Labor Day holiday (May 1-3), National Day holiday (October 1-7), and the last week before closing (October 25-31).

Tickets will be discounted（打折）from 10 to 30 yuan for those who buy before the Expo opens on May 1, 2010.

People going to the Expo after 5pm (apart from the peak days) can get tickets for 90 yuan but only during Expo.

Three-day passes will cost 400 yuan and seven-day passes 900 yuan.

At least 62 million tickets will be available. Discounts will also be offered to the disabled, senior citizens, students with valid IDs and Chinese servicemen and women. Children under 1.2 meters will not have to pay.

The basic price is “affordable” for the majority of people. It was common practice to set ticket prices within the 1 to 3 percent range of the host country's per-capita disposable income (人均可支配收入).

The Expo organizer will encourage people to reserve tickets in advance or buy group tickets in an attempt to control visitor flow. The organizer is expecting 70 million visitors, 5 percent of whom will be from overseas.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget. Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.

It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:

An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg. He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

His house was dirty, and a stench (惡臭) came out of the house and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years.

The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire (百萬富翁). They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.

But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.

Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant (有意義的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying focused on the things we enjoy doing.

1.The neighbor called the police because ______.

A．the old man kept begging money from them every day

B．there was something dangerous in the old man’s house

C．the old man wouldn’t buy tickets for the train

D．they couldn’t bear the smell from the old man’s house

2.When the old man knew he was a millionaire, he ______.

A．remained calm                         B．became excited

C．felt worried                            D．became nervous

3.What lesson do we learn from the story?

A．Make great plans for your life.

B．Keep on doing what you like.

C．Do something that is good to society.

D．Depend on yourself rather than others.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

1.The writer is probably ______.

A．worker                               B．a(chǎn) college teacher

B．both before and after work hours

C．only during lunch time

D．on Saturday and Sunday

A．surprised         B．pleased           C．puzzled           D．sorry

5.The story is about ______.

A．a(chǎn) good concert

B．someone enjoying a good concert
