In Hong Kong,where formal pre-school education begins at the age of three,many prospective parents begin mapping out education plans before their children are born.Desmidt,an expat mother living in Hong Kong,revealed she started looking for potential kindergartens and playgroups during her pregnancy.

7.Indian weddings have always been special occasions,celebrated with passion,enthusiasm,and,in the case of the wealthy,elaborate (精心準(zhǔn)備的) settings and food.For centuries,friends and family sang songs,youngsters danced,and cooks dished out traditional foods when Indian wedding festivities got under way.
But times have changed.Weddings have become occasions for India's rapidly growing wealthy classes to show off their new wealth.Professional singers and entertainers have replaced the amateur melodies,wonderful parties at five-star hotels are now the pattern,and unusual foreign foods are served along with traditional Indian food.
Neeta Raheja,runs a wedding planning company that organizes weddings ranging in cost from﹩20,000to﹩2million."Being really wasteful was something done by the very best class.Today,people who are not that rich want to do like that when it comes to weddings,"she explained.
Pumima Mehta,recently hosted her daughter's wedding.She says organizing a show with style is important in a society where weddings have become statements."I may have personally liked a simple ceremony,but who wants it?You know,everyone is judging you at the affair,"she said.
Many now choose several days of feasting and dancing.The parties might have settings based on famously great Bollywood films,fresh flowers flown in from Bangkok,perhaps a hired Mereedes instead of the traditional horse to carry the groom.
"They hire helicopters,and the helicopters are showering petals(花瓣).In the 1990s,we had elephants standing in a row and showering petals,"Neeta Raheja said.
Now the wedding industry is a﹩10billion market growing by 25percent a year.Such celebrations can wipe away years of savings for many families-but no one is complaining.
Suresh Garg,the manager of one famous jewelry store in New Delhi,says he did do a lot of business ahead of the wedding season that runs from November to February."Income levels are also going up.There is plenty of money available,salaries are rising,share values have increased,people are flooded with money,"he said.

67.The main idea of the passage is thatD.
A.Indian weddings become more exciting
B.Indian weddings become world famous
C.Indian weddings become better prepared
D.Indian weddings become expensive
68.Which of the following is part of modern weddings in India?C
A.Amateur singers and entertainers.

D.Elephants showering petals.
69.We can guess that not so rich Indians hold expensive weddings for their children toB.
A.show off their wealth             B.make a statement
C.make their children happy         D.entertain their guests

1.Indian's snake charmers (耍蛇者) are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost.The charmers,who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes (笛子),used to be a traditional feature of Indian life,performing in towns and villages,until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins.
The government is now considering a plan to train the snake charmers,as they are known,to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife.There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders (入侵者).
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest,"said Behar Dutt,a professor behind the plans,"if a policeman doesn't catch them,animal rights activists report them."
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban,despite the threat of up to three years in jail.But their trademark cloth-covered baskets,hanging from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders,make them an easy target (目標(biāo)) for police.
The fate of Shisha Nath,56,from Badarpur,a village just outside of Delhi,is typical of practitioners (從業(yè)者) of the dying art."I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school,"he said."Now it's hard to earn even for a day.My children want to be snake charmers.It's our identity.We love the work.But it's become impossible."
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune,western India,where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge.
More than the law,though,it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countryman that angers many snake charmers.
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house,they rush to us,"said Prakash Nath,who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi,the Congress party leader.

60.According to the passage,snake charmers will be retrained as wildlife teachers mainly becauseD.
A.schools need large numbers of such teachers
B.most of them cannot support their families
C.their performances on the street are banned
D.the government plans to save the dying art
61.The purpose of the proposed"dial a snake charmer"in paragraph 2telephone service isD.
A.to give performance of snake dancing
B.to teach householders how to catch and kill snakes
C.to offer cleaning service to wealthy householders
D.to help remove unwanted snakes from the houses
62.The word underlined word"clandestinely"in paragraph 4can be best replaced by the word"A".
A.secretly  B.happily  C.unconsciously  D.diligently
63.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.Snake charmers can easily be recognized by the police on the street.
B.Children of snake charmers would not like to continue their fathers'job.
C.Snake charmers are quite angry with the attitude of their fellow countrymen.
D.The animal rights activists take a negative attitude towards snake charmers.

6.Jiang Nan,a full-time mother in Beijing,keeps a dozen or so cloth bags at home,carefully selecting one or two before heading out to get groceries."Most of them were giveaways from advertising marketing campaigns,but others had been handed out in the street by various environmental protection organizations,"she explained.
Since June 2008 China has forbidden the production,sale and usage of plastic bags thinner than 0.025 millimeter (毫米),and retailers(零售商) are not allowed to provide free plastic bags to their customers,regardless of the thickness.
Many Chinese consumers like Jiang have learned to refuse plastic bags whenever possible in their shopping."A plastic bag may only cost a few jiao,but it's more about how bad they are for the environment,"Jiang said.
The plastic ban is for the most part well carried out in big cities,and has been distinctly effective in reducing white waste.On the first anniversary of the plastic ban Global Village of Beijing,an NGO environmental organization,shows that during the year of the ban the consumption of plastic bags fell by about 40 billion pieces in chain supermarkets alone,saving more than 1.2 million tons of petroleum.
However,enforcement shows considerably less muscle in smaller cities,towns and country-side.In a remote town like Lichuan,the awareness of environmental protection is not as strong as that in big cities.Street vendors(街頭小販) worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them for plastic bags.Seeing no significance in the issue,local government often turn a blind eye to banned bag traffic in the market.
There are still those who don't have an interest in living green.Cui Lin,another Beijinger,often forgets to bring a cloth bag when shopping,and has to buy plastic bags."Anyway I think plastic bags are neater and cleaner,and I don't mind paying a couple more jiao,"he shrugged.
Mrs Yu,a vegetable vendor in Lichuan County,Jiangxi Province,recalled that before plastic bags became popular in the early 1990s,Chinese people always carried a bamboo basket when they visited the market."Plastic bags are more convenient,"she comments,and her view might be that of the tens of millions of people in the nation who still cling to plastic bags,paid or free.This is suggested by her trade where piles of plastic bags are still passed out every day.
49.In Paragraph 1,the writer uses Jiang Nan's case toA.
A.introduce a topic                                      
B.tell a story
C.describe a person                                      
D.offer an argument
50.How did Jiang Nan get her cloth bags?C
A.She bought them at a low price.
C.She borrowed them from her relatives.
B.She got them for free.
D.She made them herself.
51.Which is NOT the reason why some people still use plastic bags when shopping?A
A.Cloth bags are difficult to get and heavy to carry.
B.People's awareness of environmental protection is not strong enough.
C.People don't mind paying a couple more jiao for plastic bags.
D.Street vendors worry that they are likely to lose customers if they charge them.
52.What message does the writer mostly convey in the passage?C
A.To reduce white waste is urgent.
B.The plastic bag ban has achieved great success.
C.There is still a long way to go for the plastic bag ban.
D.People's awareness of environmental protection should be stressed.
