Callers do not have to pay for the advice or the phone calls, even if the calls are long distance ones. At some hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work.

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke（卡拉OK）.But what on earth it is about，still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact，it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars，and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore，at times，when anyone felt like it，he might sing songs to the accompaniment of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention， Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer，or even sometimes you may sing out of tune，you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.

25. In this passage "band" means "group of persons ________."

    A. who play games on the sports ground

    B. who play music together

    D. doing things together under a leader and with a common purpose

26. Karaoke is just a ______.

    A. cassette tape with only music

    B. cassette tape recorder

    C. band from Japan

    D. voice recording equipment

America continues to lead the world as a destination(目的地) for international students. Last year about 900,000 foreign students were studying in the United States, about half of them from Asia. But a growing number of Asian students are turning to an English-speaking country much closer to home—the Philippines(菲律宾).

The island nation of 100 million is quickly becoming the education center of Asia. The country’s low prices, open culture, and quality schools are attracting more foreign students, among which Koreans are leading the way.

     “There are more and more Koreans that are studying English in the Philippines. In 2004, there were about 5,700. The following year, it tripled to about 17,000. In 2012 it was about 24,000. So we’re seeing an increasing number of Koreans.

     The Philippines is in a unique position. Early Americans brought the English language here in the early twentieth century. Although it is not the native language of most Filipinos, English is an official language here. More than 60 years after independence, Filipinos still speak English with a strong American accent.

     Low prices and its location in Asia help the Philippines to attract Asian students. The capital, Manila, has cheap non-stop flights to Tokyo, Seoul, and other Asian capitals. The rising U.S. dollar has made American education more expensive than ever before.

There are hundreds of private and public schools in the Philippines that teach English or teach in English. More advanced students can take regular university academic courses in English. Others study at beachside resorts(度假胜地), where they mix language study with vacation. Some Korean families even move to the Philippines so their children can learn English in public schools.

29. How many Asian students came to study in the U.S.A. last year? _________.

   A. 900,000.          B. 450,000.         C. 5,700.            D. 24,000.

30. Which of the following is not the thing that attracts foreign students? _________.

   A. Its open culture.                      B. Its unique position.

   C. Its mild climate.                      D. Its quality schools.

31. What can we learn from the passage? _________.

   A. An increasing number of Koreans come to study English in the Philippines.

B. Foreign students can only study in public schools in the Philippines. 

   C. The rising U.S. dollar has made education in the Philippines more expensive.

   D. To spend vacation at beachside resorts, all Koreans choose to study English in the Philippines.

D

  I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?” 

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

32. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.

A. describe the place carefully        

B. refer to recognizable buildings and places

C. show him a map of the place            

D. tell him the names of the streets       

33. Which is the place where people measure distance in time? _________.

A. New York.  B. Kansas.  C. Los Angeles.   D. Iowa.

34. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.

A. in order to save time       B. as a test                                                            

C. for fun                                D. so as to be polite

35. What can we infer from the text? _________.

A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

B. People have similar understandings of politeness.

C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
